QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 05:25 PM) Uribe's been really bad lately. Watching the Cubs/Dodgers last night, I was thinking the same thing and wishing we made a deal for Casey Blake. Not that he's great or anything, but I'd certainly rather have Blake and Uribe than Uribe and Fields for the playoffs. Oh well.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:25 PM) I didn't hear them talking about it, but the post said they were given opportunities to be there and chose to go home. If they were left off the roster, then why would anyone be upset that they went home? It was guys that are not on the playoff roster, Farmer made it sound like they made all the arrangements for these players to travel with the team then last minute the players bailed and decided to stay home. Also that an unnamed player was pissed when he came back from the minors and didn't have his old locker and wanted to know why it was given to a younger player, I'm guessing MacDougal. Just the way Farmer was talking made it sound that management wasn't pleased with any of these guys. I'm just speculating, don't hang the messenger.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:22 PM) Anyone who chooses to go home instead of going to the playoffs is a loser and a coward. Sounds like it was a few guys, possibly Crede also? Not sure.

Stone and Farmer talking about guys that were left of the playoff roster who were given the opportunity to be with the team, but chose to go home. Can't watch the game right now, anybody know who their talking about? They sound like the Sox brass aren't happy about it. Sounds like one guy who has worn out his welcome is MacDougal.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 10:09 PM) I don't see how that would be wise at all. Javy is a well paid big league pitcher who has been in the rotation all year and capable of a good outing. He's not hurt or anything. It's not like Richard is some certain star in the making who deserves the ball. He's just Richard. This makes perfect sense to go with Javy. Hopefully the third time's the charm (since Oz calling him out). Seems like a good idea now eh?

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:11 PM) nice sac bunt Juan! Gameday audio is delayed damn near 1 full minute to the guys doing pbp on here.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:10 PM) kevin hickey is the pitching coach of the rays -- wasn't he in houston in 05? Yeah, he was on 670 this morning.

QUOTE (scenario @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) One of the main reasons for having Danks go 3rd is that the Rays hit 20 points worse as as team against lefties this year. And their power stats drop off a table too. OPS drops by 50 points. So... to improve your chances of beating them... throw every quality lefty you have at them first. I'm dead serious when I say I'd rather see Clayton Richard start game one. Javy's wet the bed the last two starts which were huge games, this stat just confirms my belief.

QUOTE (Molto @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) got two. bleachers. it's all luck. Yeah, I got 4 above the Twins bullpen, but row 25. Can't complain.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 04:29 PM) They can't stream the game online at 670thescore.com. MLB owns the rights for internet streaming. Well that's a terrible inconvenience.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 04:25 PM) Got my computer streaming it on radio...warned my coworkers I may go a little crazy. Lets get some runs right here!!! I'm doing the same, was working fine, all of a sudden it switched over to some Sporting News Radio, I'm listening to effing Jason Campbell talk about the Dallas Cowboys right now, yet it still says I'm on 670, WTF>?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

QUOTE (jenks45monster @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 09:51 PM) I wouldn't want to be put down on my bad play with three (possibly four games) to play. Would you? It's only added pressure on the players. A good time would be anytime besides now. Like I said, the players don't need added pressure, especially now. Why would I respect Ozzie Guillen? You don't? He's the manager of this team and has done a pretty good job in that position in my opinion. I really don't care if he's "consistent and rational". He's not there to baby the players. OC should just learn how to shut his mouth. He causes too much drama. Learn to shut his mouth? The guy nailed it right on the head, team loaded with talent can't beat the TWINS. Let's be honest, the Sox are Twins are both pretty bad, neither team would/will do jack squat in the playoffs. Everybody gets too wrapped up with how good of a guy players are. I couldn't care less if the team was full of the biggest scumbags in the world as long as they won. You're telling me that OCAB put's too much pressure and drama into the clubhouse? If these guys can't handle the pressure of playing baseball, I don't think they would have made it this far.

QUOTE (aboz56 @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 10:38 PM) Wait, you're calling a guy who helped lead the Sox to a World Series a bum and Orlando Cabrera a winner? The Angels surely didn't miss Cabrera and he's not exactly lighting the world on fire for the Sox. Yes, Paul Konerko is a bum. He hit a grand slam 3 years ago and I thank him for it, but he can take his sorry ass out of town with his 12 million a year and his 5 LOB. You can't honestly tell me there aren't 100 different ways you would rather spend that 12 mil. Captain of the team should show a little commitment and lift an effing weight or two and quit being such a morose piece of crap.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 06:45 PM) He's been subtly doing this all season and it's funny that he takes flack for it, because he's dead right. I know I'm one of two here who want him back next season. Guy shows up to play, the captain, Paul Konerko, is a joke, get that bum outta here. I know OC isn't coming back, but I think we need more guys that are winners. Sox are a team of mental midgets. I want changes.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 11:12 PM) Our pitching held them tonight and we lost. Odds ain't good. Let's hope Twins for once play like the mediocre team they are and we salvage one game. What did they do tonight? Beat the ball into the ground and bloop broken bat knocks into the outfield. Is there anything impressive about the Twins? It's an embarrassment the Sox can't compete with this rag tag group of scrubs on yearly basis. The Twins are a joke, the White Sox may be a bigger one.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 01:34 PM) Maybe Zambrano will fracture his penis by his continuous cup adjustment? Hopefully this is a lesson for CQ. All I know is we'll have the most intense cheerleader in history. Damn near spit my diet coke out on my keyboard/monitor.

QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 01:23 PM) Cowley is now speculating on suntimes.com that he did this while punching a locker in Boston? I don't know where he gets his information or if he just makes it up, but all too often he comes up with these nuggets that nobody else knew about, with usually no follow-up when fact is the exact opposite. Don't clubhouses have like, just big open closet like structures in the locker room? I'm picturing like my high school locker room, then thinking wait, clubhouses don't have those. I suppose there could be some regular metal lockers in that craphole in Boston though.

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 01:16 PM) I've had wrist surgery involving pins. The pins were out within 2 months. I was back to 100% within 4-5 months (rehab and s***). My injury was not a broken wrist, it was a torn ligament and ligament detachment from the bone (which I think is more severe than a bone break). It's not going to be career threatening. Ironically, my surgery was done by the hand/wrist specialist from Rush which I believe are the doctors the Sox players see. If it is, Carlos is in good hands. Yeah it's probably better that it's a break and no ligament damage. I think I simply strained/sprained my wrist and it would not get better so I just had to shut down any exercise involving the wrist. Well anyway, just sucks in general to see him go down right now and not get to complete his season just because who knows if he'll ever put together such a complete year again. Commencement of intoxication cannot begin soon enough.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 01:09 PM) This team can do two things: 1. Deflate, press too much and fall into the abyss 2. Use this as a rallying cry and crush these freaking teams. I just don't see us deflating. Let's fight this, White Sox. Konerko and Swisher need to start mashing baseballs on this 10 game homestand.

Is it just me, or when you hear "pin in wrist" are we talking career threatening here. I did something to my wrist bench pressing like 4 months ago, couldn't do a push up for months without the thing hurting, never got it checked out of course, but after 4 months I think it's about 90% recovered. These things just seem to take forever to get back to full strength. What a shame, guy could have had an MVP award on his mantle.

QUOTE (spiffalicious @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 12:58 PM) The score just said he is having surgery Monday to put a pin in his wrist. Am I asleep? When will I wake up from this nightmare?
