Dick Allen

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) I don't think he's defending his play. I'm certainly not. He's been awful this year. But Sox fans tend to come up with a scapegoat for every game, rather than a team failing. Harris was awful tonight, but he's not the only one... Up until last inning, the reason the White Sox were not winning was Willie Harris.

These players don't need this much time off. This is baseball.

QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:18 PM) Remember when Willie Harris lost us this game? I'm sure he is entirely responsible for that inning as well. How can anyone defend the way Willie Harris has performed this year?

When he does extend his streak, I sure hope Hawk and DJ don't make a big deal about it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) Nice f***ing play dips***. Wow, I hate the f***ing mentality of having the B team in. Brings down the level of play for everyone. How many games like this do they have to play before Ozzie realizes he can't trot 3 or 4 subs out there at the same time and have a reasonable chance to win the game?

They way Sweeney has owned Buerhle I don't mind a bunt hit.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:04 PM) Son of a b****. Well, at least we won't see Lima again. If we had a real offense playing, we'd probably have 8 runs. Hopefully Bell will leave Lima in another inning, but I doubt it. He is ready to really get lit up.

Timo 0-3 with 3 ropes

Come on Timo, come on Timo. Is is wrong?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:01 PM) Fire Guillen! He sucks! He is a piece of s*** manager! He makes Lime look like Cy Young and he gies everybody too many off days! I wish my boss was as liberal with days off.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) Oh, Ok -- didn't realize that he was pitching tonight, too. I hope they show a replay on Comcast tonight. It seemed fairly deep to me. You'll get no argument from me that he misplayed it horribly, just want to see how far it was hit. It was a routine play. He didn't make it, was probably rapping to himself.

Well if Willie would have caught a routine pop up it still would be 1-0.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) I will bring the beer. The beer is included.

The day Willie Harris is removed from the roster, I am going to have a party. Everytime the guy screws up, and he screws up a lot, it always comes back to hurt the White Sox.

Go Pods go.

QUOTE(ceffa2000 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) Not to be insensitive, but it looks like Boston is going to pull the trigger on Burnett now. I truly do hope that Clement is okay. Is this from a report, or your personal opinion?

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) when is the first pitch? less than 1 minute

Anyone see pictures of Lima's wife when he sang the anthem last season? I wonder how much those watermelons cost him. Not nearly as much as passing along the herpes.

We have to have the most well rested team in the history of MLB

Just about gametime.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 07:15 PM) 4-0 NYY Bottom 7th The Big Unit looks like he's getting his s*** together just in time to face the White Sox.

I saw the story on Real Sports about guys getting drilled with balls off aluminum bats. A couple guys died. This is very scary. Hopefully, he will be alright. One kid who died was conscious(sp?) when he went to the hospital and passed later on.

With Overbay's production, and the fact he makes less than $500,000 a year and isn't eligible for arbitration until after next season, he is going to cost a lot in terms of players to acquire.

I would be shocked if the Sox acquired Overbay. I think right now they are exhausing all possibilities for a replacement for Frank. I wouldn't doubt they are looking at and have scouted Overbay, because he would be a logical replacement, but actual serious trade discussions I would really doubt.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 11:54 AM) The trade deadline is on the horizon. What if KW doesn't make 1 move- will you all be pissed off? Not initially. I'd have to wait for the rest of the season and playoffs to be played out. Maybe doing nothing is the best thing. There seems to be some obvious holes on this team, I know they are trying to do something about them. If creating other holes to fix these are all that's being offered, there's really not much you can do about that. It is one of the hazzards about waiting until the trade deadline to make moves as opposed to doing it in the offseason. You may have a very fair deal on the table, but it takes 2 to tango, and teams are reluctant to help the competition. All the guys we've been mentioning are big name players. Its very difficult for teams to sell their fans on some minor leaguer with a 5.00 era as proper compensation for that player. Rebuilding is a very ugly word for fans.
