QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) Actually, we should have acquired a 4th outfielder who's righty and can play solid defense. I'll be stunned if we get any production from our 1-2-3 hitters tonight. I agree, we did need a 4th outfielder. We still can get one, but who's available? ..... Wish we could get bloop doubles.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:27 PM) Ozuna is 2 for his last 30. Stay hot 1-2 hitters. Yeah... its too bad we don't have any other "leadoff" hitters though. Mackowiak should get a start at the top and in LF. I would have no objections to that. Flat on both sides to start.... Come on Jon, 1-2-3.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:25 PM) Yep, and it's a shame that we then have to play AJP against real tough lefties. Ozuna can't be playing anymore. Isn't he like 1 for his last 30? Yeah, hes struggling mightily since that injury to his ... hamstring (?) I believe.

QUOTE(SoxnGiants @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:22 PM) Nice work Jon... and Joe. I'll take it after a leadoff triple I will too. And, considering they have 2 on, no out as well. QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:22 PM) It's not on ESPN in the NY area... it's apparently blacked out, probably because of the YES network, which is where I have to watch it now. Well thats what I meant, people in NY will be able to see it. THE CHAT IS OPEN! COME CHAT WITH THE REBORN TITO!

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:20 PM) It's on ESPN for some people.. Well, I guess its atleast the game is against NY, so its on in New York, its on here, and I'm sure its also on elsewhere on the east coast, and thats really all that matters, I guess.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:18 PM) Crede is a God among men. And this game is on ESPN, so it helps his gold glove campaign.

Man, how many times is this team going to kill the momentum they gained from the night before? Unbelievable.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:10 PM) Good start to this game. It must be nice to have a leadoff hitter that can create so much offense. His OBP isnt that great, at .359, but I agree. Well, he saved a run.

Uh on, pitch over this one Big Jon.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:05 PM) that's a creepy hair strip jon's sportin. But if it works, I hope they all grow one. It is on ESPN...HD no less, looks awesome. I dont have the HD feed, too poor. So its just on CSN for me.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:01 PM) atleast I was consistent You weren't you spelled it two different ways. Ugh, I wish ESPN would show the game, CSN is already having technical problems with their audio... QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:00 PM) I think Ozuna is going to go off tonight - BIG night for Pablo. Book it. Any word on Juan and when we can expect to see him back in the lineup? It's gonna be fugly watching the freak deal to Alex tonight, I'm afraid. I think they said tomorrow tonight, possibly Friday.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 06:43 PM) BBTN just said that Joe Crede was the best 3B in the AL, and that it wasn't even a debate between him and A-Rod. True, but the new guy still said he would take A-Rod if he were building a team. I don't know about that, Crede is younger, and better defensively. But I think its good, because any press coverage will give Crede a better chance of the GG. Tomorrow, BBTN is focusing on the best web gems in Chicago White Sox history.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 06:13 PM) I was at the game last night. While the Clash song "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" played in my head entering the bottom of the 9th, I decided to stay. I believe I made the right choice. Hopefully, the momentum from last night's game can carry over. 'specially with Big Jon on the mound. You were seriously considering leaving a game in the 9th... when we were down by 1? You have to be down by atleast 5 to even consider leaving. QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 06:13 PM) on espn they had some AL scouts analysis on Buehrle, garcia and vazques's problems for Buehrle he said he just isn't locating, and he needs to throw more changeups to righties for garcia he noted the velocity is down, and he also said his breaking pitch breaks too soon so its not as effective anymore for vazquez he said that he just can't handle the depth of an AL lineup I think they were right on for Buehrle and garcia, but they are way off on vazquez, since its more of a mental block for him still pretty decent for espn coverage So glad people know how to spell Buehrle around here..

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 05:58 PM) I just saw it in the other thread. Should have started there. Look, B-Mac had 3 good starts last season. 3. And everyone does want to annoit him as HERE AND NOW. I think he's ALMOST ready to step in, but our starting 5 is probably our best starting 5 right now. Otherwise, B-Mac would be there. He IS our future, though, assuming he's here long enough for it to happen. I think you better recheck your stats. You are severely mistaken. B-Mac easily would be better than Garcia and Vazquez. And Buehrle right now, during his slump.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 05:41 PM) The McCarthy quote is what got me more than anything, he's telling people to "check the record" when it seems he needs to do it himself. He can deflect questions involving McCarthy to the rotation without making s*** up and downplaying what his rookie pitcher did for him the year before. When you put together the 2 quotes as well as some of his recent actions, he's really been acting strange lately. Yes, the McCarthy quote I think we can all agree is complete bulls***. In no WAY was McCarthy bad or even "not good" he was purely dominate. It was a very stupid thing for Ozzie to say.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 05:21 PM) Dear lord I hope this is a misquote. http://www.suntimes.com/output/mariotti/cst-spt-jay08.html I don't think that quote is that bad. I think its partially true. Some managers might have given up on Crede already, and maybe he'd be a bench player/spot starter. Who knows? QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 05:32 PM) Everyone in the media (and possibly the organization) was ready to give up on him... maybe Ozzie fought to keep him here... and thats what he means Thats what I think too..

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 05:24 PM) 60 consecutive innings pitched of scoreless baseball isn't totally out of the question is it? Psh, its Jon Garland we're talking about. Nothing is out of the question. Last year he had those two consectutive 4 hit shutouts. Thats atleast 18. I'm sure he had some more before and after, meaning he was probably around 21-22 IP with a run.. we just need to triple that!

Really looking forward to my first game where I am not allowed to bash the team. But that doesn't mean I won't point out the bad, it just means I wont go off on them.

Gonna miss the guy. Remember his streak to start the season? 19 IP without a run or something? Wicked!

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 01:05 PM) I forget who said it ... but I am a bad poster. And he's probably right. Join the club.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 12:50 PM) He might have the reputation, but compared to some posts recently, he's made to look optimistic. Thanks for sigging me, I like it.

The exact opposite of me.

Has my name been changed yet?

New game plan, I leave everytime the team is trailing by 1 in the 9th, k?

f*** YES! f*** YES! f*** YES! *EATING CROW FOR LIFE*
