QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 09:40 PM) I get the angst over this inning, but you can't score 2 runs and expect to win a lot of games. I wasn't at all angry until I saw Liriano on the mound. You lose 3-2, fine...but no need to put a guy that is too much of a risk to start into the game in the 8th down a run. That just defies all f***ing logic.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 09:38 PM) Blast away all you want but we should have hired Dave Martinez or someone with some experience. RV may wind up being a pretty good manager down the road but what he's been pretty awful for a bulk of this season. It's not as magnified since our division is so awful. Oh don't pull this s*** out now.

We just escaped that massive jam and he decides to bring in the guy he doesn't trust to start tomorrow.

I can't believe this motherf***er chose NOW to have this experiment.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 09:30 PM) No. If you had said please I would have considered it. This is a huge game. Then don't bring your doom and gloom nonsense

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 09:23 PM) Just came back from late dinner and we're losing. Great. This is a key half inning. Cmon. We are the home team. Battle back in the 7th and take the f***ing lead. I think it's safe to say if we lose tonight, my prediction of one win, three losses this series looks right on track. Gavin tomorrow; then Verlander?? Yikes. WE MUST WIN THIS GAME. Go away

Again, just silly to take the bat out of Cabrera's hands there

Let's get some runs

One more

C'mon Brett

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 09:19 PM) He's stellar for what he gets paid. You know, that has quite an impact on one's value. Quit being intentionally dense. Is this how you deal with your Sox frustration -- by trying to pick fights with other posters over nothing? That is pretty much it, yes

I'd rather just let Veal pitch to him

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 09:16 PM) I disagree.....You have a guy like Fielder who is a great hitter. I dont care the lefty you throw at him he is still capable to do A LOT of damage. CMON VEAL!!! Yeah, but if Miggy hits he doesn't need guys to be at 2nd and 3rd. Jackson can fly.

Horrible managing by Leyland there

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 09:02 PM) Like you do, whatever. None of your financial conspiracies have ever been validated, NOT EVEN ONCE. You support Beckham but are all over Viciedo, just like Marty34. Once again, whatever you say. Keep fighting guys...when we come back and get this one you both can kiss and make up.

We're going to win this game.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 08:18 PM) Young is another guy fans don't want back. I hope he isn't one of those guys Kenny always wanted. I'd sign him just do we don't have to face him post asb

“I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our US Cellular home, to ride out the storm of Miggy, Prince, and that ugly bastard Delmon Young, and to outlive the menace of Detroit, if necessary for 22 more games, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of our Chicago White Sox-every man of them. That is the will of Kenny, Jerry, Robin and the White Sox Nation. The White Sox and all who play the Tigers, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of the schedule and many weekends have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Tigers and all the odious apparatus of Detroit rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Chicago, we shall fight in Minnesota we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in Kansas City, we shall defend our Divisional lead, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches of Anaheim, we shall fight on the landing grounds of Cleveland we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Organization or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the dugout, armed and guarded by the fans of the south side of Chicago, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the White Sox Organization, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the AL Central Division.”

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 05:33 PM) It's cool, it wont be "front running" for much longer. Recently started dating a Buckeye fan from Cleveland. She is determined to convert me and doesn't believe in my devotion to the Ducks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 04:24 PM) More like doesn't want to admit... Or doesn't care.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 05:20 PM) Which LH? The thing is, when someone has called for Dan Johnson to get serious playing time, there would invariably be numerous voices mentioning his batting average in the majors since 2007, that he's basically a AAA/A player now, another version of Dallas McPherson, that he's living off the reputation gained from those two big homers for the Rays AND that his AAA stats this season are basically meaningless because he always hits well in the minors and does nothing at the major league level. If you want to sit Tank against Scherzer and Verlander, though, I would be more open to that...HOWEVER, who do we have not in the current starting line-up that matches up well with guys who throw that hard? I don't have a problem with Tank hitting against righties when the alternative is Johnson. Should Tank prove ineffective and be in a big spot and the ballgame against a righty, then you can always pinch hit.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 03:59 PM) Sure they are, but it's more difficult to frame it as greedy asshole teachers saying to hell with the kids if they're fighting over classroom resources and to keep class size down. THE MONEY DOES NOT EXIST. What would you have the City do?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 04:00 PM) Where did I say it wasn't relevant to the economy (funding)? You are criticizing people for bringing up the economy as it relates to the timing of the union's demands.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 03:56 PM) I've brought up the other issues surrounding this strike multiple times but everyone goes right back to the "raises?! In THIS economy?!" aspect. The entire thing boils down to the economic conditions. The raises cost money. Smaller classes mean more teachers, which costs money. More resources obviously cost more money. Which of these issues are not directly relevant to the economy?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 11, 2012 -> 03:55 PM) The wage issue is pretty much settled, but people like to focus on that one aspect to slam the greedy teachers who are anxious to f*** over a child for a buck. They don't want to talk about the classroom conditions they're striking over, or the resource and staffing issues. Where have you been that there haven't been cuts to everyone's budgets? That everyone isn't dealing with resource and staffing issues?
