Sadly so did Danks, Floyd and Garcia this whole trip.

Farmer talks about how Walker preaches contact and going the other way and nobody does it. There is a disconnect there somewhere and ozzie needs to solve it.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 12:44 PM) for the love of god - the law of averages says we have to start hitting at some point I wonder if ozzie ever gets held accountable for this lack of effort.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 12:41 PM) or you could just say yes or no YES!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 12:34 PM) shut him down because he's lazy in the off season and doesn't work out, which leads to fatigue in the second half? Just my speculation... It is possibe but I think the perfect game and getting Peavy who makes more money could be the issue as well. Maybe Buerhle and Dye are not as passive and easy going as we think. Buehrle was a good reason this year, 2006 and 2003 did not end on a higher note.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 12:35 PM) wow, i didn't know that. His back again? Go to the thread in Diamond Club

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 12:33 PM) have we even seen crede this series? DL and possible career over.

They oughts shut Buerhle down for the rest of the year although not getting a win after the perfect game would not be a nice start to the offseason.

This is getting fun bad.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 12:26 PM) who do you like for our ace going foward? If Peavy pitches to his history, Floyd and Danks progress Buerhle is the best number 4 in baseball. This is not a slam on Buerhle.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 12:25 PM) not run tentatively There is a difference in a straight steal and a hit and run. The hit and run you are looking into the batter as he is suppossed to swing and the runner is to pick the ball up. There is also the late break to not get picked off on.

Buerhle will be a nice solid number 4 starter next year.

To get to the earlier point of this thread the home run mentality works if the hitters are hitting them and not slumping to a .150 clip when they are not hitting them.

I find it really sad that this team is unable to win there. They are a main division rival and the Sox suck there. I can not wait for this season to be over and changes to be made to this pathetic group.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 10:09 AM) Found this on another site: "To me, Thome symbolizes KW giving right back in to the urge to have the same offense he had from 01-04. On the WS video, he brags about dumping Maggs, Carlos, and Jose to become more versatile. The next season we become station to station again. This team needed to dump Thome. It needs speed and non-pull hitters. Get back to pitching and defense. " Sox offense from 2001-2004 when corpseball entered the White Sox vernacular.....

There are a ton of doctors and general managers on this site.

QUOTE (whitesoxmanager @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 09:17 PM) here is my quote... "i will be the first to state that gambling might have a lot more to do with this teams overall performance than anyone can ever imagine." you draw whatever conclusion you want from it. lets just say this...if we ever have a beer together i will blow your mind away with things you never considered. and i am not the only fan from chicago to bring these things up. but i am definitely not stupid enough to bring it to any forum. hell no. You do understand that there is not enough money in gambling for this to be worth it for any player making above $400K. Why am I even wasting my time thinking about this pointless topic.

Sadly I thought this team was good. I fell bad for Pods, Floyd, Carrasco and Danks as they appear to be the only people that give a s***. Not sure what to think of Beckham, Quentin, Ramirez and Rios. How many times has this team come back in a game?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 03:30 PM) I wish they would show a montage of the Sox "greatest" moments from the dome - all the errors, all the bloop hits. "Winning" the 2000 division title there and running around drinking beer on their field was pretty cool.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 03:12 PM) Not nearly as painful as what happens on the field... Bye,bye second place. That happened Friday did it not? You know Stone Pony, baseball is a funny game.......a funny game indeed..........some times Stoney you just never know what will happen..........once in a while the game will surprise you, this great game of ball, when you think one thing will happen something completely opposite happens. I have been around this game for over 50 years and I see something new everyday. Sit back, relax and strap it down.

2-6 in the line-up are 1-17 without a walk McDougal was kind of treated like Vazquez was in that he didn't live up to expectations he was no worse than Linebrink has been. This entire season is a bust because of inconsistent hitting. Every pitcher needs to be perfect every time out as this team is unable to come from behind or consistently score runs after that 5th inning. I do not thin the Sox have won more than 5 games when losing after. I hope this is a wake up call for next year and Ramirez, Quentin, Rios and Beckham can turn into consistently productive hitters which none are at this point in time. I also wouldn't mind Pods being the lead-off man next year.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 12:39 PM) It's easy to be negative lately, but Jose was throwing slop that first inning; soft slop. That does not bode well for the next time through tht order. Don't like what I saw in inning No. 1. Of course we have done nothing in 2 innings agianst their hack pitcher. What? When is 94 soft slop come on he pitched well that inning. You dod know he got Tex on a good fork ball and A-Rod on a fastball.

The Nix error is an out 99% of the time s it was on the exchange. He also got he out when he picked the ball up. I like Nix though. This offense is abysmal. Mitre can only go 5 or 6 they said which means he will go 7 against this offense.

This Milton Bradley thing is yet another blind media flock. He was brought he because he was a winner....yet he has never won anything and seems to piss off rather easily. He was brought in to drive in runs....yet he has never been a run producer. He is an OBP DH...the cubs sold him to their stupid fans as something he has never been and now they are blaming him for not being that. I feel a little bad for the guy as he does lead the team in OBP. He has not underproduced any worse then Soriano, Soto or Zambrano
