You have to make your own breaks. This team just looked at the talent assembled and assumed they would go on a roll. They didn't push it, and it cost them dearly. It would take a miracle to make the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised if they layed over and died against the Tigers.

''This team is one of the biggest underachievers I've seen,'' Harrelson said. ''They don't have what we had last year -- that killer instinct.'' Biggest underachievers. Wasn't the problem with Jerry Manuel that the team underachieved? If Hawk says this knowing damn well it will be news, its beyond true. If Ozzie can't motivate the players to play, he's certainly not going to wow anyone with his line-ups, handling of the pitching staff, or any other strategic decisions. If Ozzie can't motivate he is the managerial equivalent of Pods who doesn't steal. Totally worthless. Its a shame he has cemented himself to this job until he says something so stupid they have no choice to get rid of him.

And this game and season are OVA.

If Frank didn't win the MVP in 2000, he's not going to win it this year. Hawk and DJ should talk about something else.

They have to get off the Thomas homer. Chavez followed it up with a shot in the gap.

The Sox just look like a defeated team. It would be nice to see some fire.

Will AJ swing so hard he falls down?

Maybe he can pop to short and Cora can send the runner.

My Comcast--------------it gone.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 04:23 PM) Frank has no problems with a majority of the players in the White Sox clubhouse (maybe Konerko, but that's it). I don't even think he has a problem with Ozzie; he realizes Ozzie shoots his mouth off, an that's the way he is. I do think, however, that Frank is most happy about shoving it to KW. Despite what Frank says, I really doubt he's much of a fan of Ozzie.

You should be embarrassed if Kendall throws you out.

Frank Thomas did not get a hit in the 2000 playoffs. He also didn't get a hit in the 2005 playoffs. Just wait until he starts whining about his contract next spring. Good riddance. He's having a year I would never have thought possible, hat's off to him. He is killing the White Sox playoff hopes, I'm sure he's very happy about that.

For as important as a lot seem to think Thomas was to the White Sox, isn't it funny they won the WS when he hit .219 and hardly played?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 04:15 PM) Guys, don't worry about Frank Thomas. It takes four singles to score him, like Ozzie said. I believe Ozzie said 5. Although he scores fairly easily when they throw him meatball after meatball.

I'm no Frank Thomas fan, but congratulations to him for shoving it up Ozzie's and the rest of the White Sox collective ass.

Don't throw him a strike. He'll chase a bad pitch these days a lot more than in the halcyon days.

Nice job, now fan Thomas.

The game has sweep written all over it.

Considering the huge toll the White Sox organization apparently believes the extra playoff games put on players, its amazing they want anyone to play winter ball.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 03:56 PM) Nice double for Anderson. 3 doubles in 2 games for BA. He's going to hit his way right to the bench again.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 03:54 PM) I'd like to see BMac in soon. I don't know what happened with Jose but we can't risk it. If it was a cramp, as it appears, this little break should be enough to where he can continue.

Frank's contract negotiations this offseason should be interesting.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 03:32 PM) Prancer cant advance on a ball thrown into centerfield. He never does. He has no baseball instincts.

DJ has enjoyed watching Pods this year. He must gets shipments daily from Amsterdam.

How many teams would Pods really start for?
