Can ESPNn show all three game at once on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN Classic on Wednesday. That would be a baseball bonanaza as far as markets go. New York Boston Chicago Los Angeles Houston Atlanta The games are carried locally at these times as well on local channels for prime time ratings. Does this make to much sense to actually do?

1:00AM game and post game. They are dumping the cub how dare they.

I really did believe this.

QUOTE(S720 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 02:03 PM) I don't know how to feel - happy, estatic, thrilling, exciting, etc. But one thing I can share with you. Going through such a tough stretch of the season, especially the last few weeks, I feel that the White Sox are now better prepared to go into the playoff and make some noise. If Pods, Everett, Crede and Rowand can get hot in the playoff, watch out! I feel much better about our chances this year than the year of 2000, when we just limped into the postseason and got swept by the Mariners. But most importantly, thanks for all of you for going through all of the ups and downs of this tremendous season with me. Many angry and uncalled-for words have been thrown at each other, but nevertheless, we all have just one goal, and that goal is being played right in front of us. Congrat on the tremendous season SO FAR! Amen Brother.

Guy has some stones. Simply put he has carried this team by saving the pen and beating the crap out of guys. Wow, just wow.

Here is why I think Contrearas will start. If you play the Yanks or Angels you get Johnson or Colon twice. We need to put a guy out there that could possibly dominate and shut a team down. Who is that.....Contrearas. Buerhle will go 6 or 7 but may give up 3 or 4. Jose could s*** the bed but I think he is the guy to go with. To hell with stats.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 29, 2005 -> 06:18 AM) That would result in us tied with Boston and New York at 95-67 correct? So we would have to have one game playoffs. Just win today baby. CWSOX45 The day after they had a one game playoff.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 03:30 PM) They piss down their legs when the pressure is on. Is that month or season?

Didn't see this anywhere but the Sox would host NY or Boston in a wild card play in next Monday.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 02:31 PM) ..we get rained out tonight... Jose will not be able to starty Sunday in Cleveland and it will have to be Brandon McCarthy if we havent won the Division by then!!! I don't think they would bring him back on three days rest anyway.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) They must have changed it in recent years. So basically if the Sox win their next 2 and Cleveland loses 1 more against TB, its over. Ding ding ding 3-2 record the rest of the way and it is done. We could lose 2nd round home field but that is it. A loss by any of the other three tonight and/or tomorrow make it easier.

Sounds like Rocky 2 to me. Ms. Crede awakes turns to Joe and says, "WIN, WIN" Get back Joe Joe!!!!!!!! Oh I got the chills.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 10:21 AM) I've heard if the Sox and Indians tie for the ALC/WC, that the Sox win the ALC due to better head-to-head record. That is what I was led to believe. The ONLY time head to head comes into play is if both will make the playoffs.

Not to sound condesending but there are about 5 posts on this. But you are correct.

I have bashed Konerko a ton this season but I feel he is the only legitimate hitter we have right now. He needs to be resigned at the cost of a pitcher if need be.

Cleveland had 23,000 there last night.

f*** it if we don't win it ain't my fault. Correct me if I'm wrong; 1 win = WC tie 2 win= WC 3 win = Division (Bos or NY need to win all 5 to have best record in AL over us) Regardless of what any other team does.

17-9 O's How do you think Yankee fans arer feeling?.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 08:51 PM) The Baseball Gods gave us this night, and we still f***ed up. NO YOU HAVE THAT BACKWARD THE BASEBALL GODS ARE GIVING US THIS NIGHT. We are the hunted and lost first the others (2 of 3) all followed suit. How pissed are the Indian fans right now????

to Kansas City , you blow the lead to go down 4-3, bust ass to tie the score 4-4 in the 9th see the teams around you are all winning (Bos, NY and at the time the Sox were up 1-0 I think) then lose a ball in the sun to lose a huge game. This made the "demoralizing" loss last night not seem so bad. This and Boston has a doubleheader today. Sorry if this is a dumb post, but it made me feel good so there.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 11:48 AM) I read on one site that head to head is the tie breaker when both teams would get in. A game is played only if it means one team would go home. That is what I read as well. BOTH need to be guaranteed a spot in the playoffs in order to throw out the tiebreaker.

Tigers site has Johnson. Also Ordonez and Guillen should be back in the lineup.

The thing is at this point in time KW has made up for every bad move by having a team that will win over 94 games while bringing very few through the farm system and trading for a few others. This team has been assembled using very resource (FA, trade, farm, video(Iguchi)) out there. In 2003 he had the best team in baseball in my mind, that is all he can do. KW's trump to any trade Jose Contrearas AND cash for Estaban Loiaza.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 10:46 AM) Honestly, there is every reason for him to be playing consistently, only from the back of the order. Without Everett, this team could find itself in trouble in the post-season. However, if Everett can get hot (and the only way he does this is by fighting through the slump with AB's) than he could turn into another nice bat in the playoffs. I'm not saying he should be hitting 3rd, I like it where he has been the past couple games. Unfortunately he doesn't and with that attitude it does not bode well for him breaking out of his slump. I agree he needs to play through it but he has to want to do the right things. After the first 6 swing and misses yesterday he should have at least taken 1 strike. Something he did not do all day.

If you have game 5 you are SOL. 1 and 2 now equal 3 and 4.
