QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 11:25 PM) First off, he brings in Damaso Marte to protect a lead? Is this the same guy that quit on the team just over a week or so ago? Please explain this to me, someone. Second, after Ozuna gives us another chance, he lets Jermaine Dye hit when we needed to get the runner to 3rd. Where are Harris or Timo to lay down the bunt? Then we need to hold a one run defecit and we bring in Hermanson? Where the hell is Politte? Ozzie, thanks for helping out to piss the season away. When Eric Wedge wins AL Manager of the year, we'll all know why. You'll never be mistaken for a genius. In fact you are a moron. You've proved it time and time again. PERIOD

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:11 AM) Oakland has a 7-10 record in September. The White Sox have an 11-8 record in September. Compare 2nd half records...

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:08 AM) you're wrong. you give a game away by making errors. you don't give a game away by getting outpitched and outhit. Dude, walks killed us. That is giving the game away. The Sox didn't want it. Accept it.

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:10 AM) Sorry bout that.. All fixed No problem, just teasing.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:07 AM) Do the A's deserve to make it with their paper thin lineup and overrated starters like Dick Hard-on and Rich Haren? Do the Red Sox deserve to make it with their patchwork bullpen and inconsistencies? Do the Yankees deserve to make it with their ludicrous rotation? Any more than the Sox do? All the teams you listed, are actually playing like they want to win and guess what, they are! When you want something and work hard to get it, you acheive that goal. Doesn't sound fimiiar? Because the Sox are not doing that. They do NOT deserve to make the playoffs. Save the humiliation.

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:05 AM) NICE IT'S MY 30TH BIRTHDAY THREAD!!!!!!! So by posting it 3 times, does that make you 90?

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Sep 20, 2005 -> 12:04 AM) melton is a company man. he's just making excuses. THAT's why he's on tv. you don't work for the sox unless you have your list of excuses to spew. You are incorrect. What Melton says is true. The Sox gave Cleveland this game. Spew whatever you want but that is a fact. Marte should not be in the MLB in 2006 and the White Sox should not be in the playoffs in 2005.

My opinion is that they have no f***ing right to make it to the playoffs. This team doesn't deserve s***. If Ozzie wins MotY, I will barf on my keyboard. I will be SHOCKED, mark it, SHOCKED if this team makes the playoffs. Ridicule me all you want but if you think this team will or deserves to make the playoffs, you know nothing about baseball and you are a dumb homer...JMO

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 11:59 PM) i don't wanna hear the sox "gave this game away" like bill melton is jabbering on the radio. the indians TOOK it from us. the inning we scored 4 runs we were lucky as hell that the indians didn't catch those 2 balls. No no no no no, Marte gave this game away and Hermy put the icing on the Indian cake...there is a reason Melton is on TV and your posting here.

To think that the Sox might only be up .5 games after this series is frightening.

QUOTE(MinnySoxFan @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 11:49 PM) I had to change my avatar even though I'm an optimistic guy who still thinks we'll make the playoffs and could possibly get hot. But I also think we should get everyone on this site to have a choking avatar.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 11:44 PM) 1) They currently have a lead on the division (and a larger one on the WC) 2) The next two matchups favor the Sox 3) Cleveland will not be as hot the rest of the season as they are now 4) The records work out nicely on how many we would have to win and the Indians have to lose (not sure on the exact numbers) Do I really need to keep going? Hmm, we were saying that a week into the 1nd half....and you malke it seem like there is 3 months left....October is less than 2 weeks away. Oh, and at this point, NO matchup favors the Sox.....See: Kc Royals vs White Sox

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 11:44 PM) If Marte was kicked off of this team we might have won. Why is he here. How can you want to kick him off of the team one day and put him in in a situation like that. Ozzie Marte

QUOTE(S720 @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 11:39 PM) Keep your word Soxfan1. I don't want to see you on this board until next March. Would you keep your word? Please, we're still 2.5 games up! Were still 15 games up! Were still 9 games up! Were still 6 games up! Were still 2.5 games up! Catch the trend?

QUOTE(farmteam @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 11:39 PM) Do you have an eight ball? When were the Sox mathematically eliminated? Think realistically....what implications did you get that this team will make the playoffs?

QUOTE(MinnySoxFan @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 11:39 PM) It may have not worked this time, but this is the kind of commitment we need from everyone if we are actually going to ultimately win this thing. Not gonna happen.....I'll never give that up!

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 11:38 PM) He got a cookie and missed it. Tough loss, Sox battled back and blew it. Still, they played with some fire and Buehrle is going to throw a complete game tomorrow night. Awesome awesome game tonight. Just wish the results were better. ......

Congratulations Cleveland....good luck in the playoffs. Gents, see ya in March.
