What are the chances of the offense scoring a lot of runs in each of these games? I hope Ozzie doesn't use a Sunday line-up in game 2 against a guy making his major league debut.

Willie fails. Tough to predict.

Is it possible Willie could get a big hit?

tie game, second and 3rd, one out.

Bases loaded, one out. Rowand has to do something here other than strikeout on a pitch low and away.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) Is Hawk still whining about the sign stealing? Yeah, he's reading E-mails about it.

This sign stealing BS is old. Hey Hawk, if the Sox think Texas is stealing signs, why don't they have anyone smart enough on the team to change the f***ing signs?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 03:47 PM) Did Rowand try to throw the runner out at home? Poor throw I'd imagine? No, he went to third, and probably should have had him.

The defense has sucked, but Hawk needs to quit using it as a crutch for our #1 and #2 starters. It would be nice if at least once in a while, they could pitch over an error.

Garland looks like he'd like to be anywhere but on a pitching mound in Arlington, TX.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) Game update? 3-2 Sox , bottom of 2, runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out, Delucci at bat

Blum bobbles, first and second 1 out.

Garland has Jose Contreras disease today. He appears afraid to throw a strike.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) FWIW BMac hasn't pitched for 6 days...not good... Hopefully the extra day will help him. If he keeps it in the park, he can win. If not, it could be ugly.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) With that hit, Blum still has a worse BA, OBP, and SLG for the Sox than Crede. But he's on a roll. He may have 8 rbi's by the end of the season.

Pods needed to do better than that, at least get the guy to 2nd.

Don't worry, these games mean nothing. The Sox only have to play .500 the rest of the season.

Hawk popping off about a big difference between home and away performance could mean cheating is going on. Maybe Hawk doesn't remember some recent Sox teams. In 2003 they were 11 under on the road and 21 over at home. The players batting splits were even more ridiculous.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 10:05 AM) Now what is the "processing" fee? Is that only for season ticket holders? Does it apply if I just by tickets at the box office? I don't think they hit you up for processing fees at the box office. It was for season ticket invoices.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 10:00 AM) Don't want to create a whole other thread, but when are they expected to release the tickets to the general public... Considering season ticketholder money was due yesterday, I would imagine it would be in 2-3 weeks.

Lower box are $55 for ALDS=660 100 for ALCS=1600 185 for WS=2960 $5220 total plus the mandatory $20 processing fee= $5240 + parking

Texas has a lot of good hitters, and that park is very nice to hit in. Maybe they are cheating maybe they aren't. I think it would be best not to say anything to the press. The White Sox have been accused of cheating in much the same way over the years.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 09:27 PM) It will be disgusting if they make the playoffs. I'm so sick of them and the way they do business. I know they play by the rules, but no team should be allowed to take a flyer on every veteran player that becomes available. Baseball is just crying out for some form of salary cap. The current system is a joke. Bellhorn has been pretty awful this season.
