The lady next to the Dodgers owner ain't bad for an older bird.

Angel with a hit. Here comes Furcal. I bet Wood hits him.

10-1 They don't even boo anymore.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 10:17 PM) Andruw, not Andrew. Damn, all we need is for Soto to overthrow on a stolen base attempt. Thanks for the late night spelling class but what is his deal. Think any cub fan wore a Nomar jersey tonight?

All four infielders have made an error.

Where is Andrew Jones?

Furcal, Russell and Manny are as dangerous a combo as three guys could be in my mind with the various abilities that they have.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 10:06 PM) I have no idea, are those boos the entire game?? TBS trying to make it sound like the greatest fans to every set foot in a professional stadium would never turn on their team. When does the garbage come down?

With the off day the cubs are going to have to score against the big guns. Anyone hear the excuses on MVP 1000 this morning for why Dempster blew last night. He was too amped up.

Marmol made Lou look like a fool last playoff season.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 10:55 PM) So did the league just figure Fukodome out, or was he never really that good? He's worse than Nick Swisher. And that's pretty bad. Thanks to Soxtalk at a Christmas Dinner of friends last year I look really smart when I stated Ramirez was a better pick up than Fukodome. I said that really, not sure I believed it but it made everyone feel better.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:51 PM) Probably thinking of John Lujan, who we picked up from the Rangers by trading Chris Stewart yep that's him. Long day I am losing my mind.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:49 PM) 3 straight hits, 7-1, 1st and 3rd, 2 outs. On a cold night they should have left him in, IMHO.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:47 PM) Might be time to bring the bullpen in. What's the situation?

QUOTE (rangercal @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:46 PM) Willy Mota and Miguel Socolovich I am confused again with the guy they got in Rangers deal that was not part of the Danks deal.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:44 PM) Don't we still have a couple decent minor leaguers we grabbed from the Red Sox? Ya he was decent in the lower levels.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:43 PM) Adam Everett? That's it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:42 PM) He wasn't terrible then. Who was the s***ty shortstop I am getting them confused.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) After watching it 1000 times, I still don't know how Mike Lamb missed that 3rd strike against Cotts in Game 1. You realize it is Mike Lamb you are talking about right?

QUOTE (rangercal @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:32 PM) I thought he pitched good. He deserved a standing O . Only 2 ER. Most pitchers would have wet the bed like Javy. for $20M per he sure as s*** better.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:24 PM) You should know my style enough to know I'm one of the most intense Sox fans there is. However, I just feel like we sold our soul to win 3 straight games after the terrible stretch. I agree with you 100% the growth of Floyd and Danks temper anything that happens as there is more than a glimmer of hope for 2009. I do not expect them both to bounce back from huge stressful performances their last time out. I want them to win but am not blinded as a fan enough to see that the offense is going to make it really hard. In my mind this makes me a realist and no less a fan.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) Manny Ramirez is the Boggyman. I honestly believe he changes the game by his mere presence. There was a writer on Mully and Hanley talking about Manny and he said that he has changed the entire attitude of the Dodgers and is incredible. As for the game. He is the guy you are thinking about four hitters in advance as he can hit any pitch from any pitcher any time. He forces a pitcher to stress over the number 9 hitter in order to keep Manny from coming up with men on. He could be the best pure right handed hitter even. Gotta say he is fun to watch when not playing against your team.

The organizational depth is another point as to why this game is where it is. No reason at all why Uribe should have batted in the bases loaded situation. Thome, Griffey or Wise playing tomorrow is another.

I really want to think that is sort of a hangover affect and that they will be fine but this is what the Tampa and Toronto pitching in particular has done to the White Sox all season and I am struggling to see them turn it around. I liked OC for a while but I am back to hoping he is gone soon. The pitching can only shut a team out for so long.

I think Vazquez needed to start game 1 either way. The sad thing really is why didn't Richard start a game the last two weeks of the season?????? His outing agaisnt NY was steller and then he was non-existant. The offense needs to pick it up.
