QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 11:44 PM) I cannot stand this damn team. Drive me nuts. Should have walked Suzuki to set up the double play, so there is a tactical mistake by Ozzie. This game seems to sum up the way this division race will play out. We should win, we have the lead at times, we give it away in the end. Just can't win in Oakland. Ozzie had his head up his ass for the last 3 innings. Goddamit.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 11:43 PM) uh, we already used him ballgame. Yeah, I'm aware we used him. It was, you know, a reference to his s***ty performance that put us into this mess.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 11:38 PM) wish we had someone in our pen that could strike someone out, now that a runner is at 3rd base Octavio Dotel says hi.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 11:31 PM) Terrible, simply terrible baseball tonight. I love when we talk about building teams that are good at fundamentals, and keep signing and trading for guys who need to use the Fundamentals deck in left field at the Cell.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 11:24 PM) We have about as dumb a team as there is in baseball. That has to be the explination, because we turn more easy wins into close wins and close wins into losses than any team I've seen this season. You were saying?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 11:14 PM) According to McDowell, Anderson turned to look for the ball (when he heard the crowd noise), hesitated rounding 2nd base and didn't look for Cox. Both seemed to blame Anderson's baseball instincts more than Cox's decision-making. Cox was right to send him. But if he's the baserunning coach, he's not very good. Anderson looked back tonight. Ramirez has looked back about half a dozen times that I've seen. They're not supposed to do that. Maybe they don't trust him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 11:10 PM) I still laugh at hearing Hawk say that Owens got his groin to get better. He referred to it there as "a groin situation." Sounds like a matter of national security.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 05:18 AM) Washburn isn't coming here. Link It sounds like Washburn isnt the guy, but KW is still looking for a guy. The fact that they haven't named a started for Thursday makes me believe they will make a deal. I wonder if Byrd is the guy they are going after? He had a poor first half, but in the second half he is 4-0 with a 1.24 ERA. Kenny's comments are kinda bulls***. He talks a good game about guys being fit for the Cell, but then brings in Floyd, who's no better a fit than Brandon McCarthy, who was supposedly sent out by Kenny because he didn't fit the ballpark. I like Floyd, by the way, but I'm referring more to Kenny's stated rationale. Same thing with Vazquez and Garland -- of those 2 guys, the one who has the repertoire better suited to the Cell is Garland. Javy throws meatball sliders that he cannot get down in the zone; Garland has a power sinker. But Vazquez gets extended and Garland is sent out. So I don't buy that ballpark bulls*** at all.

It's the good Dotel! Nice!

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:31 PM) I just hope the team doesn't have the same defeated attitude that you people have. I don't think anyone has a defeated attitude. But I do think, when you watch our guys, they seem like they're expecting bad things and they're not being particularly aggressive or confident. Tight.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:30 PM) Thornton's release point = HE GAWN lol He looks tired.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:29 PM) You have got to be kidding me. Throw a goddamn strike. What a palpably miserable feeling watching this game. Just a lot of anxiety at the old ball yard.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:28 PM) I now know what "cornhusker" really means.... Nice.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:27 PM) We did try to trade for Masterson...last year in the Dye discussions. When I heard Kenny was going after this guy I was VERY excited, but Boston knew what they had, plus they were offering garbage for Dye and Dye is worth more than what idiot Boston was offering up. Idiot Boston would be a good name for a band.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:27 PM) He didn't mention that he is the one who discovered their presence on the web site. Then he wrote up the article about it.

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:24 PM) That is unbelieveable.How did you find that? He must have done a search for Nebraska wrestlers and gay porn.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:22 PM) Masterson going through this lineupe like hot knife thru butter....Id like to see him come out soon. Right on. Maybe we could trade for him before the next inning. I'd send them Boone.

The guys seemed like they were seeing it well that inning.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:16 PM) AJ shouldn't be playing today after a night game, especially with the way he struggled last night. They can't find Toby Hall under his amazing pile of shaving cream pies.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:15 PM) AJ is such an overrated baseball player IMO At least he's not taking his slump into the field. Goddamnit.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:13 PM) Man I wish Thorton had a consistent breaking ball. Man I wish Pierzynski could catch one.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:11 PM) Did Hawk really call Orlando a HOFamer? No, but you weren't sure, were you?

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:08 PM) Not having those extra runs is going to hurt. Hawk says the same, but excuses the lackluster effort by OC with the man on 3rd.

6 runs will not be enough
