This was not even close to being the most important gm of the year... This loss might trigger off a KC sweep of us this series, how the f*** is it not one of the most impt games? This team could be deflated after all the energy they expended today only to lose THANKS TO f***ED UP MANUEL You think the O will score 9 again....hopefully our two stiud pitchers shut them down tomorrow and day after Remember, KC is soon going to get Sweeney and Lima back Also remember, KC is gfoing to crush the AL Central while we get our asses handed from Yanks, As and Bo Sox

Of course he could not go to Marte for two innings because the f***ed up son of a b**** used him for one meaningless inning last night :fyou manuel

Who the f*** cares when Rick White said it? He actually cares about winning more than the f***ed up manager we have We have one of the best crowds of the night and this f***ed up son of a b**** screws it up Again, if he really wanted to go to the pen, why did he not go straight to marte for two innings (Garland was pulled in the 6th), since he wanted a lefty and then go to Gordon for two innings......this was maybe the most important game of the year and he f***ed it up :fyou manuel

Why the f*** was Garland pulled? Why the f*** was our entire bull pen burned when we were leading by 3? Why the f*** was Frank, Konerko and Alomar benched in the last game against Mariners? Why the f*** was Marte pitching one inning yesterday in the blow out against the Ms which is why he could not pitch two innings today when we needed him? Why the f*** is Ginter here and Rick White has been sent down? Why the f*** does Jerry give up on a game (like he did against the Ms) even before it started by having scrubs starting? If you read his comments in trib today, he basically said he gave up yesterday's game to win tonight THEN WHY THE f*** WAS GARLAND PULLED WITH A 6-3 LEAD? MOTHERf***ING DUMBASS MANAGER OF OURS COST US THIS GAME....f***ING ASSHOLE RICK WHITE WAS CORRECT. THIS BOZO CANNOT HANDLE THE BULL PEN WHY THE f*** WAS GORDON PITCHING 50 PITCHES OUT THERE? OH FORGOT, BECAUSE DUMBASS BURNED HIS PEN TODAY AND LET MARTE PICTH A USELESS INNING YESTERDAY. NOW GORDON MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE AT ALL AGAINST THE ROYALS.....WHO THE f*** IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT? DUMBASS JERRY SHOULD f***ING APOLOGIZE TO RICK WHITE RIGHT NOW

Ordonez is AL's Player of the Month August 4, 2003, 3:03 PM CDT Sox rightfielder Magglio Ordonez was the American League Player of the Month for July after hitting .429 with 13 doubles, seven home runs and 24 RBIs. Ordonez led AL in average, hits, total bases (81), doubles, slugging percentage (.771) and extra-base hits (21), tied teammates Paul Konerko and Carlos Lee for the lead with 24 RBIs, tied for the lead with 22 runs scored, and ranked second with a .474 on-base percentage. His .429 average was the fifth-highest monthly figure in White Sox history, and his 45 hits tied Harold Baines, who did it twice, for the second-highest monthly total since 1974. It's the first time Ordeonez has won the monthly award. He has been named AL Player of the Week five times during his career, including three times in 2002. Esteban Loaiza was named AL Pitcher of the Month for April. Paul Konerko was the last Sox position player to win the monthly award, in June 2002. Copyright © 2003, ChicagoSports.com

How do I upload the pic below my posts for every post?

Our f***ing manager is such an idiot he just does not get it Rick White was absolutely correct. Why the f*** was Marte pitching in a useless inning? And why the f*** is Frank not starting at 1st base when clearly he has been slumping at DH? Why let Daubach play 1st? Is Daubach any upgrade over Frank in fielding? Let Daubach play DH and let FT play 1st. Also, why the f*** were both Harris and Rowand playing? We had f***ing Rowand, Olivo, Harris and Graffanino in order.....f*** YOU MANUEL It was like he gave up on this game even before it began. f*** YOU MANUEL. Why the f*** was Rick White sent down so that the pathetic Ginter can serve up home runs? Rick had his problems in two games but he had been exceptional for the remaining two months Obviously Manuel cannot handle criticism, especially whenit is true. WHY THE f*** WAS MARTE PITCHING TODAY AGAIN? f*** YOU MANUEL I am so pissed off at the way he handles this team some times.

I said it yesterday, they better stay away from Cameron. Without playing against the Sox, Cameron would be a 0.200 hitter. :fyou Mike Cameron

Go to Amsterdam, I am sure there are jobs for you out there

From ChicagoSports.com: Sounds like the Sox lost out to Boston on Pirates starter Jeff Suppan, if you read into Red Sox CEO Larry Lucchino's comment to the Boston Globe on Tuesday: "The problem is that whatever rock we look under, the White Sox and Yankees seem to be looking too." http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...cs-home-utility

Unintentional intentional walk?

Think about it logically folks, if he earns more money he will spend more....it is simple economics. And do not give me this BS that he needs to spend first for the fans to show up He has put an exciting team on the field who is going to be in the race until the last week (and maybe the last 3 games of the year vs KC). Let's pack the Cell going forward and show the world we actually do care about our team. Seattle

I think we should walk this guy as soon as he comes to the plate Just no point trying to fight destiny

I also feel Koch will get his stuff back But if only Kenny could have swung Scott Williamson to us.....we would have destroyed everyone to the central title then...dang we were close I guess

I cannot imagine Kenny actually going back to make a trade with Minaya from the Expos given how badly he raped him in the Colon trade. Liefer sucked. El Duque has been average and MIA and Biddle has been average too. Osuna has done nothing with the spankees either. Colon will be huge for us down the stretch (already he has helped keep the bullpen fresh with his #innings/game)

I will say this one more time (I said this before we got on this roll). If fans showed up at Cellular, the Sox would spend more money and we would get even better studs through trades I know people keep pointing to me how JR does not do that and simply pockets the money, but I refuse to believe that. JR spent a lot with the Bulls. If the fans show up between now and the playoffs, it will help us be a contender next year too. Think about it, with a freaking 50 mill payroll, KW is aggressive as hell to win it all. Imagine if this guy had the Cubs payroll. Here is a nice article from the Suntimes today that reflects what I am trying to say even more articulately. Enough is enough folks, show up to the darn ball park and we can take over the city again. This team deserves it and Kenny deserves it. I do not see Kenny not going for it again next year even if we go to the 2nd round of the playoffs this year. ================================== Williams earns respect with Ken-Do approach July 31, 2003 BY GREG COUCH SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST Advertisement KANSAS CITY, Mo.--It's lunchtime Wednesday, and I'm driving through downtown Kansas City. I hit a "major'' intersection. Dead. Three cars. Five people standing on one corner, two on another. Park for $9, and that's for the whole day, not the first 20 minutes. Drive along and you see from the occasional person smoking outside an office building that it apparently is wear-your-golf-shirt-to-work day in Kansas City. Meanwhile, one local columnist talks about how the Royals had better realize the importance of this series against the White Sox. Another writes how sad an era this is when the Sox can simply go out and try to buy a pennant. Boo-hoo. Actually, the Sox landed Robbie Alomar and Carl Everett for roughly 12 bucks and a stick of gum. But who cares? The exciting thing is this: The Sox are the monster in the room. For once, the Sox feel like the big time. And it's time to credit the person who got them there. Ken Williams. That's right. The same general manager who brought us David Wells and Todd Ritchie, and showed a tendency to swing for the fences and miss, has built the Sox into the team that is going to win the division. "The only thing people refer to when they talk about me is Wells and Ritchie,'' Williams said. "I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else and I told [sox chairman] Jerry Reinsdorf: 'It's not the last time I'm going to make a mistake.' "I'm actively, aggressively pursuing important guys. But [stuff] is going to happen.'' Well, good stuff is happening now, and I'm somehow growing to respect Williams' mistakes anyway. On Wednesday, his latest pickup, lefty reliever Scott Schoeneweis, joined the team from the Angels. It looks like another good move, but who knows? He might flop. The thing we can't know for sure about Williams is whether he blew it in the big moments before because he was duped, as the book written about A's general manager Billy Beane said. Is he just getting lucky now? Here's my answer: Who cares? At least the guy is trying to make big moves, trying to hit a home run. The most embarrassing at-bats come when you stand there with the bat on your shoulder, not when you swing and miss. Williams doesn't do that. Stand there, that is. Oh, he swings and misses plenty. And if this is all part of a grand plan, or if he just gets itchy, I don't really care. Thank goodness someone is trying to go all out, not just bring in a replacement center fielder and a project third baseman. Cubs GM Jim Hendry was hailed the king for that. Williams is trying, and trying and failing is a lot better than not really trying at all. "Excuse me, but it's been quite a while in Chicago when a team has gone deep into the playoffs,'' he said, "and possibly the World Series.'' Have you ever heard a Chicago baseball GM use the words World Series before? Come to think of it, I never hear the words Stanley Cup or Super Bowl or NBA Finals, either. Our teams have hypnotized this town into forgetting those words even exist. I guess what I'm saying is that I respect Williams for dreaming. This time, he has hit it big-time with Alomar. I still like pitcher Bartolo Colon, too. And Everett. Yes, he gave up All-Star closer Keith Foulke for All-Flop closer Billy Koch. "People say I gave up too much for Everett,'' Williams said. "Excuse me if I don't care if I give up a prospect. "I would rather take a shot at winning this thing now, going for it all and changing this around. Changing the attitude and the fans. We're in a major city here. Win now, and then maybe we don't have to keep piecing this thing together all the time. Maybe we don't have to try to figure out how to do it on a $50 million payroll.'' Keep dreaming, Ken. Keep swinging. The Cubs are doing less on an $80 million payroll. Imagine Williams with $80 million. The flops would be phenomenal. Today's trade deadline is 3 p.m., and Williams said he has something else going. Heaven help us. "And if it doesn't work out,'' he said, "well, then I'll have [messed] that one up, too.''

Some day I would like to find out who he was after

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines

So he was after a pitcher that did not get moved ultimately....I wonder who. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines

what is funny is that sandy has a 0.180 average against lefties and a0.280 against righties bounces all going our way i guess
