Quentin's been a major disappointment, so we ought to add his name to the list. Just cashng the checks.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:48 PM) If it wasn't, I'd have to say that the way he's gone into the tank, mentally, since Rios got here . . . well, that sure hasn't been impressive. Just cashing the checks.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:35 PM) My point was more along the lines that Jose when he was with the Yankees and now as well as Ramirez ability to forget how to play shortstop are odd to me as they have gone through so much mentally to get to the U.S. Then they both simply seem to lose it from time to time wher they appear ot have zero ability to play. I apologize if I offened any and all Cubans. I thank you for the explanation and appreciate your explanation that you appreciated their individual struggles to get here, yet wonder where their heads sometimes go.

QUOTE (Dizzy Sox @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:29 PM) Is this Campanis posting? Jimmy the Greek? Yes, we all remember El Duque's fragile mental state with the bases loaded and nobody out in Fenway during the ALDS in '05, or how fragile Jose was that whole season for that matter. An aging pitcher who has lost his stuff and a shortstop who makes dumb errors from time to time does not indict an entire nation. Nicely written. Slice of levity, no angst, but still clear and strong. Thank you.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:07 PM) I don't know; he put a pretty good swing on that last one, drove it the other way. I can't get upset with that. It's the flailing at balls in the dirt and GIDP by trying to pull the ball -- Konerko/Dye -- that usually drives me crazy. Looked to me like he was way late and just threw the bat out there. But, it was an out either way.

Ump at first is skinny. Don't see many shinny umps. And, though I know the history and all, but MLB sholudn't allow Fenway

QUOTE (CWSOX45 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:04 PM) That's been the strategy for the last two weeks. So far, it hasn't really failed.

He never had a chance in that at-bat. Never.

WAY late on that 1st swing.

These people on the Boston broadcast's commercials all talk funny.

I don't like a soft fly to shallow right-center.

I like 2-1.

Pitch #1 looked like the one to hit.

3-1. Should get something to swing at. And miss.

Hey! JD TOOK THE FIRST PITCH!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:40 PM) you know who i don't miss....boone logan Who'd have thought THAT name would come up tonight. LOL

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:36 PM) Hopefully he doesn't piss down his leg. Leg is dry.

Let's all cheer for Detroit to win. Put us out of our present misery and into what, I think, is still a very bright future.

I love MB, but... Wow. Threw BP today. There've been games since the perfect one where he pitched well and didn't get the win. This wasn't one of those.

0-2

Well... Kotsay is at bat.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) Anyone else believen yet? Nope. To painful.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 02:49 PM) Odds Paulie is stranded on base? Well... He does have speed on hs side.

They tease us.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 02:42 PM) I'm not giving up....this game is our's for the takin' In his division, the whole season's been there for the takin'. Sox just haven't.
