QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 12:44 AM) Ask me when the club clinches. Till than I refuse to talk about the playoffs. Good Point Jas

Now this is a good Poll. I saw the one that's pitching the best. It's Either Garland or Buherle There Rangercal Happy

Why was this thread brought back?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 09:40 AM) Bulls***. You'd cry in your CoCo Puffs if you found out that happened.

Thanks for that

QUOTE(TLAK @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 09:45 PM) Much gloom and doom about the White Sox being so cold late in the year, and how it bodes for the playoffs. In history, World Series winning teams have a .625 winning percentage in regular season games played in September/October. This is no big surprise, WS winners have an average .622 Pct overall, they are the best teams, afterall. But it is not necessary to be hot in September to win in October. Here are 10 teams that were .500 or lower late, yet won the World Series. There have only been a little over a hundred series played so about a tenth of the winners limped in. Year__ Name________________ Wins Loss Pctg 2000__ New York Yankees____ 13__ 18__ .419 1944__ St. Louis Cardinals_ 14__ 19__ .424 1997__ Florida Marlins_____ 12__ 15__ .444 1938__ New York Yankees____ 14__ 17__ .452 1935__ Detroit Tigers______ 12__ 14__ .462 1981__ Los Angeles Dodgers_ 15__ 17__ .469 1974__ Oakland Athletics___ 14__ 15__ .483 1958__ New York Yankees____ 12__ 12__ .500 1966__ Baltimore Orioles___ 14__ 14__ .500 1990__ Cincinnati Reds_____ 16__ 16__ .500 By this I conclude that it doesn't matter if you strut into playoffs or sneak in through the side door. All that matters is getting there, then a whole new crapshoot starts. BTW, it doesn't feel like it, but the Sox are 7-4 in September. How many of those teams had the Division wraped up by then?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 04:16 AM) So you throw him out there without him pitching for almost a month, in a crucial situation, and he blows it. I wonder what the Sox fans will be thinking of that decision then......... Wonder what kinda thread he will start if that ......... Ahhh Nevermind

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 12, 2005 -> 10:54 PM) believe it or not, marte being late once is not the end of the world. get over it, whatever "it" is. Let me no say anything about this thread, I might get grilled if i do :rolly

QUOTE(YASNY @ Sep 13, 2005 -> 03:21 AM) I don't think he's over reacting at all. Now, excuse me, there's this ant hill in my back yard that I have to go nuke.

Santana is an ACE. Dominating. Colon is a number 2 as well. That's IMHO

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 05:51 PM) is that both of those guys are considered aces yet we don't consider Buehrle an ace. Doesn't make much sense if ya ask me. I don't think either of them are aces. Our staff is 2 number 2 starters 2 number 3's and one number 5. Buehrle is a good pitcher but he's not an ACE.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 05:50 PM) That's just what Josh does. In fact, I can't recall seeing a post other than a headshake or something to that end. That's his gig. Of course it is. I headshake at dumb polls and stupid threads. I answer when a poll is interesting as a thread. I mean c'mon It's so and SO's Birthday or Is he an ace or did garland wear blue underwear today.. HUH??

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 05:23 PM) Jeckle is right. Buehrle and Garland have both choked on big fat ones. This is a playoff like series. And what have our two best pitchers done? I have no faith in either of these guys come playoffs. And that's if we make it. If the Indians win tonight, they're 6 1'2 games out with 6 games still to play against us. These next few weeks might get very ugly. Ok if were gonna talk choke how about Konerko and Everett?? Konerko absoluty blows with men on base. I mean 37 homers and 90 RBI's? he sould be over 100. Everett swings at everything in sight. The defense choked last night too. Eguchi being the main culprit of it. I agree on it getting ugly. Ozzie didn't help Garland any either keeping him in there

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 05:44 PM) Than i guess Colon isn't an ace because he sucks against good teams. Also Johan Santana has well how do i say this lightly Struggled against the great Royals. :headshake Your Point is???

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 04:44 PM) Sadly Garland choked away his CY Young chances today against the Angels... We got to see this years CY Young Bartolo Colon in action though... Choke??? Why is it that a player has a bad game and he chokes? Sheesh cut them some slack, if it was up to a few here the Darn team would go 162-0 and if they would go 161-1 some would still b**** :banghead

QUOTE(rangercal @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 03:29 PM) so I guess you have one, you complain about every f***ing poll :rolly why can't you use you're own advice then? My opinion is you whine too much Polls open the floods for a good debate. If the poll is an obvious question, everyone will agree with each other and the poll will die. If the poll is close to a split vote , most people will back up their vote with why they voted for the specific selection . Scroll up and you will see why I voted the way I did. I don't neccesarily care for birthday threads or posts of the month threads but, I don't go in those threads complaining of their existance. I move on. Whine?? LOL!! Check out who whines around here after every loss?? Move on.. So officer do so. I guess you have one, you complain about every f***ing poll You complain about every post of mine

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 02:44 PM) Halladay is going to be out of qualifying pretty soon. I think in the next couple days or so. Halladay won't qualify cause he's got 140 Innings and you have to have an inning for each game played by your team. The only way is that the season would end today and that ain't happening

QUOTE(rangercal @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 02:50 PM) This is a message board. You don't have to shoot down every poll. Obviously people are voting. So their is interest . If you don't like it, Don't vote. BTW I voted ace. He was good enough to start the all star game . He is having a tough spell right now , at the end of the year he will have an overall, good year. Don't forget he is still very young in age. He is one of the top 5 contenders for CY (even though he has no chance) . That is ace material imo. I talked to a few people at the sox tailgate in june, I think I remember all of us agreeing he is a strong # 2 but not an ace. I have to change my stance on that. Excuse me Soxtalk Police officer may i see your badge?. Again if you don't like my post use the lil scroll bar. And as yousaid this is a Message board so i have my opinion. Or is it that obnly a few opinions count? And on the Polls, I can forsee the Next one and heck i even forsee who's gonna create it. Next poll.. Garlands Season.. Fluke or Real thing YES OR NO

QUOTE(rangercal @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 02:21 PM) yes Why so? Don't aces go through bad times?? Sheesh A pitcher pitches poorly for a couple of starts and here come the polls and threads full of Panic. Sheesh Enjoy the damn season and stop complaining

Does it really matter?

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) but Buehrle has the top ERA in the AL. Just Because he has the Best ERA he's the CY YOUNG? Take the blindfolds off he ain't winning it

:banghead

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 02:39 AM) he will be in the top 5 who is better? Colon maybe but his ERA isn't as good. Buehrle has the best ERA in the AL. Santana to little to late. Rivera's team probably won't see the playoffs. Halladay isn't gonna qualify. So you tell me how he stays out of the top 5. Colon or Rivera will win. Garland will come in 4th. Colon, Rivera, Santana, Garland. May even add Cliff Lee in there too

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Sep 10, 2005 -> 02:01 AM) Probably a girlfriend. Far From it.... We could get another Icon too, but i'll keep that one to myself
