Friend of Nordhagen

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:32 PM) They have him set up for the low and in slider. I don't know how he's fouled off the last two pitches. Tried it, too.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:29 PM) just gonna have to disagree with everybody tonight then. I'm shruggin it off. Players played well tonight. If your coaches lose the game for you.. o well, lose tomorrow and win sunday then regroup for a run. Its not the end of the world tonight b/c ozzie lost us the game. I'm with you. In fact, beating Santana would mean more to the Sox than losing tonight. That's a big if, of course.

Minnesota is one hell of an organization -- player development, managing and SCOUTING. That's about the 3rd or 4th time tonight when a fielder has been exactly where the ball was hit. Otherwise, that's probably a double. We're due for a break by the way, on a dribbler.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 10:21 PM) We have a 12 million dollar pitcher that can only pitch 5 innings. That's simply amazing. And utterly, utterly predictable. All our GM had to to do was look at his record during the past FOUR years.

You know how we seem to do a good job against Detroit? Yeah, that's the Twins against us. Good times.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 06:11 PM) You can't rain two games out in a year on a Roger Bossard field. Unless Bossard saw the lineup card and wants to avoid seeing Mack in centerfield.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 05:44 PM) Whats even worse is Javy is on the mound and he wets himself like a kid whenever a blooper falls So true. So true.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 03:13 PM) Get the next one, anyone warming up? Riske.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 03:09 PM) Garland's ERA just broke 4.50 Please forward me a similar e-mail when Vazquez gets under 5.10.

Hawk noting that Anderson, as a centerfielder, has a quiet head.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 03:01 PM) Maybe he has a farm. E I, E I, O.

Hawk and D.J. inexplicably -- and repeatedly -- referring to Mike MacDougal as "McDonald".

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:55 PM) D.J. taking shots at Mack's CF play right now, or maybe moreso at Ozzie for EVER putting him out there (which I don't get). Interesting. Never mentioned Mack by name, but you and I both knew that's who he was talking about. I'm sure we weren't alone.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:02 PM) All of a sudden it seems like we suddenly care about winning this game and are trying hard. It's remarkable how good this team can look when that happens. Just watch, Tomorrow, Javy will get touched up for a couple in the first or 2nd, and suddenly they'll look asleep again. This was a nice day, with Javier-free thoughts, until right now. Thanks.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:58 PM) I am watching the game via Soxtalk. Helps at least look like work. My question is why is Hawk reading Chciago papers in Detroit. I know he can but I think he would have something better to do it is hard to read this crap unless you really want to. I stopped reading the Times, the Trib is 1000x better. Hawk should do the same. Maybe D.J. read it and told Hawk about it.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:57 PM) Didn't really backfire. If they turn that a hair quicker, the inning ends. Leyland forgot about A.J.'s wheels. By the way, love that Venn diagram in your signature.

Hawk, feeling strong about the club today, decides it's time to go after Mariotti.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) Swinging frequently. Swinging successfully. And, let's give a shout-out to Jim Leyland for the intentional walk. If we're going to criticize Ozzie when a move backfires, it's only fair to point it out when the other guy's plan goes bad, too. So there you go on that one.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) Juan has no chance at all here Swinging frequently.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 07:36 PM) Does anyone still want to argue that we don't have the worst pitching of all the playoff contenders? It's not even close. You know, I was about to say the Red Sox pitching looks worse. And then I remembered that Wells held the Yankees down today -- and Schilling did last night -- so I don't know. I do know this, though: our starting pitching is a poor man's mediocre.

Great approach by the Tiger hitters -- going the other way. Good outing by Jose. Good job setting a tone for the series. Good job, Chicago White Sox.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 07:30 PM) Well considering our starting 9 from opening day plays in about 22% of the games, we may see it at least once this series. Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 07:27 PM) We could have actually gotten rid of some of the dead weight on our roster and given McCarthy a shot. I believe 100% that this would've been a huge shot in the arm for this team. I think Vazquez, in particular, robs this team of energy every time he goes out there. He's still out there because of the money he's earning, plain and simple. Tell me how that sends a good message.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 07:25 PM) The patented head and shoulder slump by Paulie. Feels like 2003 all over again. Paulie, loooookinnnnng gooooooood!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 07:20 PM) COOP WILL FIX IT The good thing is that if Pods had gotten a hit last inning, we'd be sad that Jose "gave back the runs." See, this way, we don't have to feel badly about that.
