QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) Twins foul off good pitches and take close pitches which sometimes are called strikes sometimes they are not. Sox swing at first thing close. This game does not look good, Twins pen is well rested. Just need 9 outs, and don't let them score. The offensive slump is not over.

The penquin is really scuffling.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) Yeah, but I mean Crede and Uribe are really, really struggling to get hits. At this point, if we're going to rest Iguchi, I'd rather we call up Willie, put him at 2nd base, and put Blum at 3rd base. Blum can't hit either. Last time I looked, Willie was hitting .233 at Charlotte. We lead the league in guys who can't hit.

Hopefully the Sox will be able to get a few more runs.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 12:14 PM) Can't believe we haven't seen a SN of WWHP? With Timo getting a hit in each of the last games, and throwing someone out at the plate, my question is when Pods comes back, where will he play?

Joe caught a pop up. Getting a hit may be just around the corner.

Joe Crede--------------just add water.

Wasn't Garland popping off how he was going to keep his pitch count down this game.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 09:28 AM) Dick... nearly all the suites are owned by corps. They are filled with BW jumpers every game. I think it would be appropriate to reward a Sox fan also. Oh well... I just don't understand having a contest for White Sox tickets, and basically making life-long White Sox fans ineligible to win. Maybe a true White Sox fan will win anyway.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 09:23 AM) Seeing as how they are requiring the Cub fan to write what hopefully will be a logical essay.. maybe there's a chance one that will appreciate them will win. Even if that was the case, it looks like they are looking for bandwagon jumpers. I think it would be more appropiate to give them to someone that has been loyal to the team for years. I doubt any recently transformed Cub fan could appreciate it as much as the gentleman mentioned above.

This is weak. There are plenty of Sox fans who can't afford to get to a game or a suite who could use these tickets. To give them to a Cub fan is assanine.

QUOTE(GoSoxGo @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 02:06 AM) Doubt it. Both guys are only in AA and probably aren't viewed as being ready yet by management. Also, Pods is due back on Monday so adding Owens wouldn't make too much sense. If they were going to bring Owens up, I think they would have done it right when Pods was placed on the DL. There was a story when Pods went to the DL that the organization thought Owens was ready, but Ozzie didn't. It could be opening up a spot for him when the rosters expand.

Can't let up. Minnesota will still probably have to play a "Sunday" line-up tomorrow. The Sox have to win that one.

That would have been a tough one to lose.

Despite all his saves, I feel a lot more comfortable with Jenks or Cotts in the game rather than Hermanson.

Hermanson's back is bothering him.

This is reminding me of the Foulke implosion about 3 years ago.

When the game's 6-3, I don't see the point in bringing Marte in with nobody on base. A bullpen disaster ready to happen.

QUOTE(lukeman89 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 08:08 PM) oh god hawk is answering another email about KGJ!!! He said earlier he wasn't opposed to getting him. Maybe things are taking a turn on the trade front. I doubt it.

Rowand has real short arms. He kind of looks like a penquin.

QUOTE(Gldfinger5 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) Who would you guys say the slowest person in the majors is? Benji Molina? Carl Everett with his legs in current condition would make it close.

Is it last night's loss that makes the Sox play better tonight, or is it just poor pitching and an opponent with a Sunday line-up?

QUOTE(fullcollapse @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 07:48 PM) all those balls lined right at people are finally falling in... most of them at least

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 07:47 PM) Iguchi is so much better at the plate when he just tries to drive the ball, instead of trying to move up runners. I could care less if he doesn't try to get the runner over the rest of the year. All that results in is worse hitting counts and potential Ks. That's been my point when I thought he should get out of the 2 hole, maybe even leadoff and have Pods bat second.

Uribe hits a Ford like double just short of Ford.
