QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 07:49 PM) Hahahahahahahaha I'm not saying he's been good, but he's certainly been serviceable.

Over .300 his last 11...why the haters?? Atta boy gordo

Cubs fans have learned to accept failure, and just come out for the novelty of it...pretty simple

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 3, 2012 -> 11:55 AM) Peter Gammons -key to the rest of the season is Sale and Cy so long ago Peavy. The latter needs to step up and shut up. I never understood why so many of you think him yelling at himself is a bad thing...He's always been this way, thats just who he is, a fiery, competitive guy. I like it, shows he cares....Weren't there people on here who got on Gavin for showing no emotion??? Speakin of Gavin, whens he due back?

Twas a disaster of a series but the seasons far from ova...

Miguel Cabrera didn't look nearly as slow as you guys are saying. He made a pretty good play in front of the SS today at one point... And he looked fine on that tag play in the first game of the season. I think everyone is over over blowing the hell outta that...When it failed you'll be b****ing because they failed. Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't. Plain and simply we got beat by a team that is now 20-6 at home since the all star break aka they're tough to beat at home. But guess what fellas we're not playing them in detroit next week, they're coming here where the Sox have already won a series against them...Seasons not over people, lets continue to show our support to our team.

Worst farm system in baseball eh? Big league teams gonna lose 90 games eh? Experts eh? ALIENS

seasons not over....

Thatll work

that looked like strike 3 c'mon ump

Rack em up! I dont care where Sale's fastballs at, if he can get the breaking ball over he's gonna have himself a good game. oh and stop jumping to conclusions again with the Sales gonna have to win a 1-0 game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 07:25 PM) He's throwing 4-5 mph slower than usual. He's not going to get away with 89 mph fastballs all night. I don't see why not if he's getting his other pitches over.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 03:33 PM) Everyone is different. People have different ways of looking at things. I consider myself a huge Sox fan. I want them to win. But I can't ignore what I'm seeing and think they're in a good position going into this last month. Go Sox, but the baseball observer in me thinks they maxed out on what they could for 5 months, and now the better team in a crappy division is going to play better over the next 30 games. If that makes me a troll, sorry. I guess, if you wanna raise your blood pressure over something that hasn't happened yet thats all on you guys. What I'm seeing is a team that went in to Det and played a team thats 19-6 at home yet the Sox are still there in first place with them coming into Chicago for 4 games....I'm not gonna panic until after that series, IMO it's pretty silly to panic now...But thats me.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 02:29 PM) Lucky you; this is not a good game to watch. It's gonna be all Detroit and the announcers will slobber over them as well. QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 2, 2012 -> 03:16 PM) Do you think some of us are too hard on the Sox or do you agree they do some maddening things? I mean isn't it kind of nonsensical to drop so many games to the team you have to beat out? If the Sox threw a win or two in there against Detroit it wouldn't be so f***ing maddening. Or do you think fans like me are way out of line and we should be thrilled we're in the race at all. I just don't understand sometimes why the team is so dysfunctional. Is it asking too much to win the first game of a huge series once in a while, etc?? Educate me. The problem I have with you people is the jumping to conclusions. Thats the most annoying s*** about the all the negative posts...I'm fine if you wanna rip them for something they've already done but the "He'll give it right back" "oh no here comes Matt, game over" "this is not a good game to watch. It's gonna be all Detroit" is just sooooo effing annoying and it makes this board look like its full of trolls..... Until they're actually out of it how bout we just sit back relax and strap it down folks.

I wish I was drunk so I can do another "this is real" rant, I feel I could probably "shoot" another gem. Last I checked the season doesn't end for another month right. Win or lose tomorrow there is still a MONTH full of baseball to go. Detroits coming to Chicago next time, we beat them here before (3-2), and we can do it again. Detroit is 19-6 at home in the 2nd half, yet here the Sox are, STILL in first place . Now is not the time to lose faith, if we get swept in Chicago then yes by all means go jump off a bridge or whatever you gotta do to alleviate the pain...Just for now, don't try to spoil it for us people who still believe. Que Journey.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 11:20 AM) Sox are still ahead of Detroit, but we are chasing them and are not going to catch them. Fishing season eh? Throwin out bait... We will at the very least be tied after this series, and we saw what the Tiggers did last time they got the lead. It's a whole new season at that point, we just have to win one more game than they do. It's as simple as that. There's one more game tomorrow, a HUGE game, after that game either they're still chasing us, or it's an even race. Oh and. BTW I felt kinda lame after I found out that meme is from lord of the rings.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 03:11 PM) The exception is your post above. You are my favorite poster. Your avatar and positive posts are great therapy for the nay sayer. Keep up the good work. I was gonna pull a quote from my "this is real" post but it apparently has vanished so I'll simply offer a thank you. I try to bring up the facts to pull people from the ledge. It's gotta pretty rough reading the nay sayers posts around here I'm just tryin to "clean it up a bit" so to speak.

BTW Liriano has a grand total of 1 game this year where he walked more than 4 (A game in which he walked 6 against Texas, but only gave up 1 run and got the W) This thread is a bucket of suck

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 02:00 PM) It's almost like the Sox considered it a cheap shot to keep bunting at him. Even Beckham's bunt was awful. It was a pop up. If Detroit is going to play him, bunt him out of the game and frustrate him. Have other teams done this?? I don't remember how long MCab has been bothered by this but I dont recall seeing any highlights or anything of other teams continuing to attack him with bunts... I don't think it's a bad idea but nothing to get pissed about if they don't. As we saw when he tagged up yesterday he can still run.

blah blah blah...Go Sox

Kain Colter and V. Mark looked really good in the first half...I like.

I also wanna see Cabrera spiked on his hurt leg, that'd be pretty cool.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 08:36 AM) 4 all-stars. Not bad at all! I see 5..How many teams are in the Carolina League? I see 5 different teams have all stars. Regardless of how many teams, its still pretty impressive.

My game thread was missing THIS IS REAL and because of that the White Sox didnt realize that the game was in fact REAL. I apologize to the White Sox fan base for leaving this out. Jake, way to pick me up buddy.

I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis She had a moist vagina she took the midnight train going anywhere I said train kept a-rollin' all night long Train kept a-rollin' all night long Train kept a-rollin' all night long Train kept a-rollin' all night long With a heave and a ho Well don't you know that's the sound of the men working on the chain gang Oh, Oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah. One of these mornings the chain is gonna break Chain, chain, chain (Chain...chain...chain..) Chain of fools! Wise Men say only fools rush in You got no money, you got no car, you got no woman, and there you are Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line I don't get angry when my Mom smokes pot, Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite Dear mother can you hear me laughing? Mama, I just killed a man A bullet had found him, His blood ran as he cried, No money could save him , So he laid down and he died "Where'd ya get the gun, John?" Told him take off all his clothes and put your penis next to mine And the Bulge in my big big big big big big big big big big big big big big BIG Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass, I like having a detachable penis.
