Jaime Burke can hit, at least no worse than half of today's lineup. He also can play a few positions. Raul Cassanova will start tomorrow or Sunday (I am only somewhat joking). Although not a fan of Adkins, with another lefty in the pen, lord help us. I remember Kevin Walker all to well. Guillen and this organization look really lost right now.

They are 5-13 in their last 18. The play Minny 7 times, California 3 and the Indians 6. The Royals have a two game winning streak against us and Tigers have played us tight and have a much better hitting team than us. We play them 6 times. Minnny 2 - 5 (We are 2-5 in our last 7 against them) Cal 1-2 Det 3-3 and this is a stretch Clev 1-5 (They want it more sorry) 7-15, go from there

At least our bullpen will be good and rested for winter ball. Guillen is a great motivator but a completly horse s*** manager. My gut tells me Cleveland is watching this on tv (ala Dusty Baker theory) and licking their chops.

3 batters - 6 pitches - 2 runs - man on first Oh well at least the defense was good. Would have been nice if the 9th hitter led off instead of the leadoff man. At least we have played some kick ass small ball.

The rally sleeping bag.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 01:23 PM) Our "regulars" havent done much in this game, but "this lineup" which I assumes means the subs, have manufactured a run, and looked more sound in the field. How is that sadness? What is this sound defense of which you speak from our subs????

How is that sadness? Maybe we can play to a time limit draw. We have become very good at making bad pitchers look great (monday's starter, CJ Wilson yesterday and now today). We just keep tipping our cap to them.

He has been behind just about every hitter he has faced (11 of 16) at one point. That is when we are not swinging at the first pitch. Jeez this gets old. The relief pitcher yesterday that was 0-6 got tired too that doesn't mean we will hit him.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) how about a bunch of posts b****ing about the sox scoring a run... The post you quoted is the reason for the b****ing it is not rocket scientry...see Konerko's last at-bat. Look for a pitch don't get it, swing anyway. There is no strike zone recognition by this team at all.

What are Rowand Dye and Aj's RISP???? I am having server troubles and do not want to change sites.

Hasn't our piss poor offense averaged 6 runs a game without help from their defense??????? Wanna see if they are cheating, call for a slider away and then throw a fastball off the inside corner.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) Thread on this already...I'm going to merge. Sorry, thanks I was so excited. Not sure about dusting him off for October if he has not for a week or so before. Three weeks for him to try anything. I suppose if we get a nice lead he can play the last week.

Coming up on Comcast??????????

Remember before the season started when KW told everyone he would hold back some cash until the trade deadline. Wonder what will happen with that cash..........

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 08:48 AM) He'll be one of the most valued starting pitchers available on the trade market. He would be the ace on a handful of teams, and with one year left on his deal, his stock has never been higher. Seeing as there is question as to who (possibly 2) gets set aside for the rotation in the playoffs would it not make some sense to trade a starter for a big bat seeing as it is almost a consensus that one of the Cubans will be gone. With Beltran underachieveing is Rowand/a starter worth it if the Mets throw in some cash???? Floyd - Contrearas??

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 07:27 PM) Our pitching has been phenominal. We cant expect the staff to toss up zeros everytime they go up there. Sometimes they have a bad start, it happens. But our offense cannot compensate for that. That is my point the only time I can recall out hitting a team was Toronto on that afternoon Garland got lite up. This is killing the psyche of the rotation.

How the hell is this Buerhle's fault? Maybe if we got a f***ing rally we would have a shot. Let's see over the weekend we got 5, 4 and 2 runs in Minnesota we got 0 6 (yipee) and 2 runs. Prior to this we lost 7 in a row. The pressure on our staff is incredible as th likes of every hitter in this lineup underachieves. Pierzynski has 47 RBI's??? That is less than Uribe with 8 more home runs. Podsednik is a nice player but he isn't goign to turn this around. Rowand, well he has a nice outing in center at Yankee stadium. We are not the shoe in to the playoffs we think we are. We have not come back in a game in weeks (more than arun down). This was how we were a winning team. THIS IS NoOBUERHLE's FAULT. We are getting schooled by a s***ty pitcher YET AGAIN.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 04:35 PM) You heard this on AM 1000? Is this the same as when Levine was on with Tom Schaer early this afternoon? I did not personally hear anything so I'm trying to figure out what was said or if there's been an update. I have a friend of mine who is ready to commit hari kari over this whole situation. Yes the funny thing was on the Bruce Levine bit on the Thursday Comcast sports show he said this deal was just about dead. THat is what makes this strange.

The report I heard was the deal was immenent (sp?) and they were crossing t's and dotting i's for the announcement tomorrow. Same feeling as the other posters. I assume KW JR and the boys are jsut balancing the check to see if they really want to do this.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 01:52 PM) Texsox, I have no problem with bandwagon jumpers in general. If they want to start supporting the Sox, thats cool with me. I have a problem with bandwagon jumpers who act like they have been here forever and only post negative comments. The latter is what Konerko is getting upset with. SB Where is Paul Konerko hosting these sessions of fans blasting the team. I pointed out earlier there were over 200K at the last homestand that I did not hear booing. This is where you get your census from. Geez, Guillen was embarrassed for his team last Saturday, was he on teh bandwagon? I just do not see the audience that Paul is talking about. In 2000 when they were winning they only had 20K out there.

I enjoyed Tuesday's game and was not negative about the loss. The Minnesota series last weekend and the Yankees first two games were sickening. A bandwagon fan could care less how they are playing as long as they are enjoying themselves. Most of them know little about the team and the situation they just back a winner and enjoy the ride. I really see nothing wrong with that, they put $$$ into the team. Sorry if I can not bring myself to watch this team look foolish at the plate and do nothing to correct it. I can not watch a guy go 5 for 55 (or thereabouts) three times a year and wonder if maybe something should be changed. I just want to win and I know they do but if I have to sit around with a smile on my face like a cub fan sorry I can't do it.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 12:52 PM) My guess would be no, but i do believe that Nomar still got a ring after he was traded. Kind of like getting to watch someone have sex with a hot chick.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 12:06 PM) Yea. Both Friday and Saturday as a matter of fact. Did I mess up your point...? I didn't so I just must've had my selevctive hearing on. My point was that there seems to be this uprising against anyone that questions the ability of this team. The people on this board are going to fly off the handle, I do, that is why we come hear sometimes. Last Friday I paid for my playoff tickets so although I was not happy with what was going on and said so here, I am not a bandwagon fan nor to I feel I need to act like I do not have issues with this team. My point is they need to address the situation at the park not on some message board. When there are 15K out there boing them, he has a point. If he is reading this board or any other and guaging that as the fan base, I think he is mistaken.
