QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:10 PM) /another terrible outing by Ozzie Guillen, and the pitching staff. If McCarthy doesn't give up a hit, the Sox have a chance. Ozzie's right, the guy sucks.

McCarthy should be out. Put Jenks in, any Minnesota runs ruin any chance.

AJ was going for the concourse.

QUOTE(fullcollapse @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:08 PM) is it just me, or is aj a much better hitter with 2 strikes Its just you

Pods on deck. Thome must not be able to go.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) you have to make an attempt to get out of the way....you cant just let the ball hit you.... Its very easy to make it look like you're attempting to get out of the way while taking one for the team. In college we used to practice getting hit.

I'd like to see AJ hit a soft liner down the LF line.

QUOTE(fullcollapse @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:02 PM) i believe a batter can change at any time A pitcher can't change after a certain point. Someday we will see a switch pitcher.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:00 PM) Is Thome actually available? It was mentioned as a possibility, but that could be for show.

Neshek has given up 3 runs this year, all solo homers from lefties.

Let him hang himself.

As Wimpy used to say, take 2 they're small.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:53 PM) If they bring a righty in, we'd probably see Pods. I think I would go up to my roof and think about my options.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:53 PM) I think Reyes will stay in to keep Thome on the bench Or AJ, because AJ hit one a mile off him last evening.

Reyes walk a guy last night. He hasn't walked many this year.

If Neshek gets in the game, and Thome is able, I have a feeling he could take him very deep.

This guy Reyes is having an incredible year. He's been pretty horrible the rest of his career.

CF defense really comes into play now. IF ROB MACKOWIAK EVER PLAYS CF AGAIN, OZZIE AND KW SHOULD BE FIRED AND SENT TO THE MENTAL WARD IMMEDIATELY.

Ozzie's white flag, Neal Cotts, is warming up.

The tying run always comes to the plate. I'd love to see Thome put one on the board to tie it up.

I don't care if he isn't "stretched out". Put McCarthy in the rotation.

They are sweating in Motown.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:33 PM) Yeah, but it's also hard to believe that we could play worse than we've played this year with a roster like we have. Seriously, this division is going to be Hell on earth for the next 4-5 years. Especially if Sweeney can turn into something good for us. Anderson already is, McCarthy already is, we need 1-2 more pieces and it's going to be a 3-4 way dogfight every year. I predict the Tigers pitching falls down to earth next year. The Indians will be better, and the Twins will always be tough. I really don't like the long-term financial commitment the Sox have to their rotation. I hope at least 2 and hopefully 3 are sent packing this winter. Maybe sign a free agent or 2, and get some top prospects since even mediocre pitching is in demand. The Sox could set themselves up for several years if they make the right moves.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) Hawk would have a 9 inning erection every game if Lou was the manager. That is true. Hawk's admiration for Ozzie is nothing compared to his admiration for Lou.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) Pinella is overrated. I would love to see Steve Stone be our next manager. FOR THE TWINS I love Sweet Lou. He's very intense. I loved him ever since he wrestled Dibble and told him he wasn't a man.
