QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 06:22 PM) It looked like a breakup slide as opposed to a get in quickly slide. His legs were up trying to take out and because of it he didn't get into the back as quick as he should. Like I said a few posts ago, a good slide and he's safe. Exactly,a straight legged slide and he's safe.

Weak choice of slides by Carl.

OMG

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 06:13 PM) You've been saying all along that we need a number 3 hitter. It's definitely been our downfall this season. It a killer. If this team had an Ortiz or Hafner batting 3rd, this probably would be the most enjoyable season of our lifetims.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 06:12 PM) Throw him a changeup...you'll get the whiff and the inning will be over. what numbers do you like in the lottery?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 06:10 PM) Nice to see our piece of s*** offense is making another crappy pitcher looks like Cy f***in Young. 3 walks in an inning and no f***ing runs. 1st and 3rd with 1 out. no runs. 3 walks in an inning and don't even get a runner to third.

Thank God the wind isn't blowing out. It might be Baj time right now.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 06:07 PM) He has allowed a whopping 1 hit. 2

Memo to KW: Get someone who can bat 3rd this offseason, it would make scoring runs a lot easier. Where would he play?

How about something good out of the 3 hole here?

Juanderful

Why is it with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 out, the count is always 0-2 no matter who on the Sox is batting?

QUOTE(daa84 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 05:36 PM) is it just me or does hawk seem like he doesnt care about this game..f*** homer I think he senses doom. This team looks dead.

DJ should just shut up when he talks about how s***ty Robertson has been lately. The Sox offense can get shut down by almost every MLB pitcher.

You can't expect these teams to lose. They are playing mediocre teams, and expect to win. The White Sox are in the same boat, unfortunately they gave one away last night, and better show up with some intensity and purpose tonight, or it will happen again.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) 3-1 Red Sox in the 6th. Ortiz has 142 RBI, and Manny has 136. Pods has 24.

It has to be asked: Where would he play?

How the hell he hasn't been benched yet is beyond belief. This guy is horrible right now.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 07:53 PM) Politte gave up one HR before the All Star Break. He has given up 6 homeruns since then. I think someone figured something out, or he has lost some of his edge. I think he's injured. He's lost several MPH off his fastball. He's pitching with cunning and guile right now.

Losing games like this really hurt. Hopefully, its not a prelude to another tailspin.

KW better get himself a #3 hitter this offseason.

The Sox had their chances.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 07:41 AM) Out of curiosity, how much of that do the Sox keep? I'm not sure, but I think its significant. I was reading something about Arizona, how they needed to make the playoffs to offset huge losses. IIRC the article said they made between $12-15 million during the 2001 playoffs. Of course, they played just about the maximum amount of games.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 25, 2005 -> 08:05 PM) Who said he should be batting third? Mr. Everett thinks he should be batting third.

35-27
