With the Sox making a nice playoff run, I think its almost certain Konerko will be back. Unless his demands get ridiculous, the Sox almost have to sign him now.

The only problem with the Count pitching against the Angels is they run. Any walk or single is an automatic double for a decent portion of their line-up. I wouldn't mind the Yankees winning tonight, having them fly to LA and have about a 15 inning game tomorrow night. The Sox could be up 2-0 before either team woke up. It is pretty amazing an 18 game winner hasn't pitched and will probably be skipped.

QUOTE(whitesoxgt @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) glad u witnessed it cuz the way the sox were playing in the past i dont think anybody could see them win a playoff series. i c a bright future after this year. with jenks, anderson, chris young , jerry owens and mccarthy, especially all our young pitchers in the minors so it wouldn't suprirse me if we make the playoffs every single year We've all said and thought this plenty of times before. Nothing is promised.

Berman didn't bother me, I went to the first 2 games and heard the reports so I expected a little bias. His dissapointment when the Red Sox failed to score or when the White Sox did score was obvious. ESPN is cringing at the thought of the Yankees being eliminated. Even though I believe they don't have any of the games the next 2 rounds. If the Yankees lose, would ESPN even cover the WS? I wouldn't doubt if they have burned the phone lines to Selig's office trying to get him to declare the Yankees and Red Sox winners of their series in the best interests of baseball.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 11:50 PM) Curry passed his physical according to SC. Yes he did. And Larry Brown said he isn't in very good shape, but thinks he will be eventually. Larry Brown is going to be wishing he never left Detroit by December.

If JR wanted to open the checkbook, I would take Manny in a heartbeat. The man can rake. For all those who says he would be a disruptive force, if he's so disruptive how come he's always on teams in the playoffs? It isn't going to happen. $20 million a year isn't going to fit the Sox budget, and supposedly Boras is going to be becoming his agent.

Considering the Sox were kicking Boston's ass when the game was rained out earlier this year, and beat their ass at the make-up game, and beat their ass 3 times in a row, Mr. Wakefield he of the 0-4 record with an ERA over 9.00 lifetime in ALDS games should shut his mouth. His pitching obviously makes teams hot.

I don't like Jenks in the ninth.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 05:20 PM) 3 MORE OUTS!!!!!!!!! Insurance runs? Sorry I don't mean to sound greedy. Would 2 more runs be asking for too much?

Cotts should be in now.

El Duque with the relief performance of the season.

The White Sox have 4 runs, and Ortiz and Ramirez have 3 homers, what are the odds the correct Sox would be in the lead?

Ive been on him for months, but Duque was phenominal there.

It would really be a shame to lose this game.

If Marte is impressive this inning, don't try to stretch another out of him please.

Here comes Marte.

f***ing Ozzie. Get him out of there please.

Freddy back out there. This is a big inning to shut them down.

Looked like a hanger Uribe swung through

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) Francona sure knows how to use a pen. Given Rowand's career numbers against Wakefield, I think it was the proper move. Sometimes it doesn't work out.

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 03:50 PM) We better give Paulie his paper...... Cash Money YO. Believe me, if the Sox advance, the Sox would have to sign Konerko whether they really want to or not.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 03:47 PM) You guys have watched games all season. Right or wrong, Garcia will almost definitely be out there next inning. Although he yanked Buerhle after 86 or 87 pitches I believe. Just don't bring in El Duque. I'd rather see fathom bring his heat than El Duque.

Paulie just made himself an extra million or 2.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Oct 7, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) Freddy's at 96 pitches. Do you send him out there for the 6th?? If the Sox don't score 4 or 5 runs here, Ozzie will.

I just hope the Sox hitters aren't watching Ortiz and Ramirez too much and trying to mimick them. Don't try to do too much against Wakefield and he can be had.
