QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 10:42 PM) Octavio Dotel says hi. uh, we already used him ballgame.

you know you're playing like poopoo when you burn out your bullpen against the A's, haha 4-27? that does not apply to teams like the white sox. time after time, we make bad teams look good (granted, the twins lost 2 of 3 in seattle. they're not immune from this either)

at least carrasco won't get the loss, he doesn't deserve it horasheeo, nice choke job.

wish we had someone in our pen that could strike someone out, now that a runner is at 3rd base

LOL Leadoff double choke choke choke choke.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 10:34 PM) I love when we talk about building teams that are good at fundamentals, and keep signing and trading for guys who need to use the Fundamentals deck in left field at the Cell. the irony in that statement, isn't that they use the fundamentals deck. they "try" to use it, haha

i have a terrible feeling about the bottom of the 9th, anyone else?

not sure i understood uribe taking a 2-0 pitch all the way, unreal

what a joke, if there ever was a person on this team that i would never allow to steal a base, it would be Alexei, he's just terrible at it, i'm surprised he has 9 on the year

just got home, was listening to the game on the score with mcdowell filling in for stoney this is gonna hurt if we lose, i have to say, we basically gave this game away with the error and the longballs by Dotel...

all 3 pitchers that we face in this series are left-handed, nice

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 02:36 PM) For realisies. there is no reason we should not sweep this team and hopefully increase our lead (albeit that could be hard with the twins playing an equally god awful team in seattle) Floyd > Danks > Jaaaaaaavy Own these guys like you owned those pesky royals, javy i like our chances this series

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.

konerko just caught a linedrive, i had to rewind my PVR to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me

get the RBI juan.. ....get the RBI TOBY..
