I'm glad Buehrle is having a quickie. Not only is it good for him and the sox and us as fans, it gives me some more time to play madden

QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:42 PM) More pitching from Mark would be nice. The real question though, is whether Mark has actually improved or is this a one time deal? I hope he isn't pulling a contreras.

3rd DP of the game. We have been grounding into way too many DP's lately.

Hey rest of the white sox, did you see what Iguchi just did? Yeah, he hustled to first so he could be safe and there would be no DP. Rest of the team should try it some time.

Too bad we can't hit decent-good pitchers like this.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:35 PM) I'm kinda pissed when Uribe hits solo shots because its just going to encourage him to keep swinging for the fences. and it gives Ozzie more reason to keep playing him. I still think we'd be better off with Cintron getting the majority of playingtime at SS.

Hey, Uribe didnt pop out!!!

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:18 PM) A 2-1 lead to the Twins still feels like we're trailing by 2 runs. now we're up by one

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:13 PM) You watching the World Series DVD? I am not used to any starter on the team doing well besides Garland

Podsednik getting an assist? OMG!!! I seriously can't believe what I just saw!

Buehrle throwing the heat. An 88 mph fastball.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:07 PM) Uribe. You disgust me at the plate and amaze me in the field. Uribe only has an arm. And he gets lazy with that arm quite often. I hope this is his last year with the sox. I can't stand how he pops out or chops out, and then takes a light jog to first. And, I believe he came into the season out of shape and overweight. Cintron > Uribe, plain and simple. Only problem is that Ozzie doesn't realize that.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:59 PM) I wish that were the case, but he ain't going anywhere unless he steps down himself. to be honest with you, I can see Ozzie stepping down also.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) Ozzie ain't gonna get fired. If we miss the playoffs, I think there is a good chance of it actually happening.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:43 PM) Bench or 3b coach? I don't want him anywhere close to a decision-making position with this team. It is kinda funny, since Ozzie was saying stuff like the manager of the year usually gets fired in the next season. Ozzie's wish will be granted. But seriously, Kenny would be stupid not to make a move for Lou Pinella in the offseason.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 12:50 PM) With Pods not running anymore, its been pointless to have him out there. Gloads would be such a signficant upgrade over him. But bottom line, I want a new manager. I'm sick of tired of our motherf***ing manager putting this motherf***ing players in a position where they can't succeed (sorry about the cursing, but I love snakes on a plane). I've had it with him putting guys in a position that they can't succeed. Thats not what a good manager does, good managers do everything they can to always put there players in the best situations for them to succeed (and as a result the team succeeds). Ozzie's trashed Garland and Tracey verbally, called Bmac a piece of s*** (well pretty much stating that he isn't anything compared to what we have), he's made stupid jag comments in the media (from the Mariotti incident to all the stuff about stealing signs) and he's been a terrible manager (in terms of a baseball standpoint) yet the entire media still hoots and hollars and raves about how great he is. It really is a joke that no one in the baseball media has the guts to step up and call things like it really is (its too bad that the only one who might do it is Mariotti, but even if he were to write a spot on article, it wouldn't float over well just because of who he is). Lou Pinella for manager!!! And demote Ozzie to either Bench or 3B coach. I am sick of Cora.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 10:24 AM) If defense wins titles, Uribe needs to stay at SS. His defense there is very good. Dye should stay in the 3 hole, but he won't. Gload in LF would be scary, but Pods hasn't exactly been reassuring out there either, so who knows? Cintron and Ozuna aren't that bad defensively themselves.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:28 AM) They did one, but it's only for members. Here is the top 5- 1. Stephen Drew 2. Delmon Young 3. Brandon Wood 4. Justin Upton 5. Alex Gordon That list is wrong, it is really... 1. Ryan Sweeney 2. Josh Fields 3. Lance Broadway 4. Ray Liotta 5. Wes Whisler

Will Konerko hit 40 home runs? If he does, I believe he will be the first White Sox player ever to hit 40 home runs in 3 straight years. So, over/under: Will Konerko hit 40 homers?

I don't know about you guys, but I have about had it Uribe. I think it would be best to platoon Cintron and Ozuna at SS, and using Uribe as a defensive replacement in late innings. Plus, it would add a much needed spark to the bottom of the order. Another thing, I think Gload deserves to play at least half the time. But with Thome and Konerko, that won't happen. BUT, he should be platooning in LF with Gload. Yes, I know they are both lefties, but Gload can hit, plain and simple. He has baseball's best pitcher's number. And Mack should get some more time in LF, and less in CF. And most importantly, McCarthy needs to be inserted into the rotation. And either Kenny needs to make a waiver deal and get a bullpen arm for Vazquez or have Vazquez pitch in relief. And if Vazquez doesn't like that, too bad. Dye has to stay in the 3 hole. And Thome needs to move down to 5th. The reason why Konerko is at 4th is because Konerko has done so much for this team and us fans and it would be just wrong to disrespect him like that and move him down. Plus, Thome hasn't been the same Thome from the beginning of the year. He has been struggling. And soon the expanded roster will begin, and we will be able to add some key parts. Jerry Owens as a pinch runner. Charlie Haeger and Chad Tracey for long relief, because we need it with this pitching staff. And Boone Logan as a lefty specialist. And after the knights season is over, I can see Ryan Sweeney and Josh Fields being called up as well. LINEUP A 1. Podsednik, LF 2. Iguchi, 2B 3. Dye, RF 4. Konerko, 1B 5. Thome, DH 6. Crede, 3B 7.

Why isn't he mentioned in MVP talks again? just a question, how did you make it aligned like that?

QUOTE(diegotony06 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:17 AM) Jerry Owens should be runnign track with Jesse owens. Whoever thinks Jerry owens is gonna help us this year has gotta be outta his mind. I mean come on. Quit drinking the SOX Kol aid and face facts, this team is terribly managed and will never even sniff the playoffs. We won our World Series in spite of Guillen last year, so just remember the memories, cause that is all we will have. Guillen is the demise of this Franchise and the quicker we get rid of him the better we will be. These players don't wnat to play for a gut who couldn't mamage a damn Mcdonalds , let alone a major league baseball team. How come everytime I watch a game Ozzie is looking into the crowd, while the other manager is concentrating on the game. Ozzie is always loking into the crowd. WHAT THE F**K IS LOOKING FOR???? Shouldn't he be concentrated on the game?? Know he is to busy worried about who is watching him. What a a*****e!!! I hate to sound like a dick and all, but STFU!

hmmm
