seriously, sweep this terrible team, winning streak incoming...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 11:35 PM) Amen brotha. I understand what game threads are, the emotion of the game, but today made me laugh. Falling behind 2-0 so quickly brought out the venom. It made me think that to some of us diehards, the only acceptable game is to jump out to an early lead and keep it. Falling behind 2-0 to a s*** team like KC had some jumping off the building and kicking the dog. It's like they couldn't envision outslopping a horrible team like KC in our own park. Criticism is great but it's funny to read the venom when things aren't going well for our Sox. I ripped Jimmy for his leaving two runners on base when we had the 3-2 lead but I also prefaced my blast by saying, "not to bag on Jimmy too much, I like him" but ... try to keep a level head, here. thome has been about as unclutch all year as anyone could be, it's not wrong to be angry when it took thome 3 AB's with RISP before driving in a run against a terrible royals pitcher who had a BAA from both sides of about .300, they were rightfully frustrated yeah, thome drove in 3 runs with that blast against whatshisname, but after seeing thome do what he did in his first 2 or 3 AB's with RISP, you have to draw the line that, yeah.. it's understandable to be pissed off at him in those at bats he came through regardless later in the game, which pretty much nullified his previous attempts, which is all that matters really there are a lot of fans of the game who get caught up in the moment, and there's nothing wrong with it, it doesn't make them any less of a fan the fact that there are those here who like to rub it in their faces shows a bit less class in my opinion, i mean... where's the point in that? they know they perhaps acted wrongly, no need for the childish behavior afterwards just my opinion (i've never rubbed anything in anyone's face on any sox board that I visit. I just don't see the point)

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 03:35 PM) More bizarre streak: White Sox go back to back to back to back for the first time in club history. Carlos Quentin is hit by a pitch for the 6th game in a row, when nobody since 1920 had been hit even 5 games in a row. well, there's 6 baseballs that will have to be incinerated (can't use cracked baseballs, obviously)

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) I wonder if Broadway gets another start. if it's against the royals, i hope so

:sweep:

thanks for battling Lance, hell of a start today, deserves the win

you're due Thome.. do something edit: jesus christ man. this guy has a BAA of .298 and .299 against lefties and righties, hit the damn meatballs when he throws them for cryin out loud

attaboy CQ, Jermaine Clutch ...have a game

CQ pulling off those pitches away..

LOL @ THESE UMPIRES. Nice non-call there to Buck on the check swing. What a laugh fest.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 12:52 PM) Awful AB there. Come on JD, duplicate what you did in the 1st. [Jermaine] ROGER DODGER.

i love jermaine

fastball out of the zone.. blah

maybe CQ will get HBP again and get an RBI slam please.

toby is very tired (lol)

keep the line moving 2-1

uribe should be known as "Pointy fingers", with the way he runs the bases

tobyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

keep the ball in the air toby, no grounders..

apparently our lineup has decided Cy Davies is too difficult to square up with that devastating 90mph fastball, so they're going to the ground game now. meanwhile, Uribe says F*** THAT and pounds one into CF
