Maybe "performance enhancement" included a few unexpected side effects.

LOL you mean Cubs fans have actually learned to judge flyballs now?? Wow maybe some have grown a brain cell.

Good assessment. Unfortunately rarely do the sox do what they SHOULD do: like beat teams that they SHOULD beat. Sox like to do things the hard way and get their wins against tougher teams. If the Sox played hard against these cellar dwellers and didn't show up against teams like Boston, Toronto, Yankees etc. we could have a much easier time winning this division.

Most likely we will split this series 2-2 I think. I think we'll take one of the two on Saturday and probably Sunday's game. You know the Indians havent been good since 2001, but every time the Sox play them it feels like we are playing the 2001 Indians. For god's sake we have more of those Indians on our team than they do.

Yeah the question was not clear. It does count as two if a pitcher is used twice. Total number of appearances made by sox pitchers on saturday is what I should have said.

Yeah even though he is in the middle right now on the scale, this team was built around Danys Baez. He was an everyday type of guy you could use him as a starter, long reliever, and a closer. This guy was the go-to guy until he started fading. Joe Beimel was hot at the time and we picked him up as a short term solution. He turned out to be worth keeping although lately he has been benched. The offense of this team was pretty lifeless until Carlos Baerga basically exploded onto our scene. He was immediately the only guy we wanted and he has carried this team the past few days with our pitching staff struggling. We really are trying to build a fantasy winner here. Unfortunately there really are no other players that will fit into this team at the moment.

Wow could we hire JB as a 26th man? He doesn't play at all he just sits in the clubhouse w/ the jokes, the matches, and the shaving cream and whatever else he used to do in there and hey wait why dont we just make him a manager.

Ahh "exhibitions". Something Shamme's agent came up with to avoid the whole HR derby question. I say we find a reporter with balls and get him to ask Sammy about the derbies.

The best rumors are the ones that aren't too hard to believe.

Hmm a sour mood this evening coming off a pathetic first 6 games of this road trip so far. Lets just say I have a feeling someone will pick Cleveland to win this series. Here are the questions: 1) Who will win the series (CHW/CLE/Split) (2 points)? 2) Which Alomar brother will have a higher batting average for the series (Robbie/Sandy) (2 points)? 3) How many errors will the Sox make (4 points)? 4) How many pitchers will the Sox use on Saturday (4 points)? 5) How many singles will Aaron Rowand have in the series (5 points)? 6) How many walks will Danny Wright issue (5 points)? 7) Who will lead the Sox in men left on base (4 points)? 8) What will be the outcome of the Saturday DH (sweep/split) (2 points)? 9) Will Magglio Ordonez be hitting over .300 after this series (Y/N) (2 points)? 10) Will Danys Baez get a save (Y/N) (2 points)? TIEBREAKER: What will be the run differential of the series? (Total Sox runs - Cleveland runs)

cw, my sox seven tix are all in section 531, hey im in college can't afford the pricey seats ya know. Also I enjoy the upper deck for a better overall view of the entire playing field. me and my bud prolly be there pretty early because i think i want a bobblehead in case PK is not in sox uniform much longer.

Sorry mathew totally my mistake. And the points could matter when they come into play at the end of the season. Keep the faitih.

# of losses where we outhit the other team? Thats a sucky stat right there Im guessing.

Is it bad enough he has invented Corpseball he also has to form CorpseFans

Ooh part of me hopes Rick White dominates and Danny has a rough outing. That could put Danny in the bullpen where alot of us have said he should have a chance. I know this will never happen and we are prolly gonna lose all 4 games anyways with this sore-ass offense but hey, it could happen. mcworld

Sox Army time: Heads Will Roll.

i was going to this game hoping that PK would be an allstar and that we would win but now i dont think either can or will I was excited too. I thought I'd be sure to see my first Sox win in about 5 years. Right now the odds are about 50/50 Are you going cw? I heard somewhere you sit UD. I might see ya.

Dude when E-Lo wears those white shoes, everyone should just buckle the f*** up.

I've really said all I want to say about this series. Congrats to apu our first 2 game winner. Sorry cw i know it was your bday and all but 2 game slide for you, at least not as bad as the real Sox. The answers: 1) Who will win the series (CHW/DET) (2 points)? DET 2) Will Jon Garland give up a homerun (Y/N) (2 points)? Yes 3) How many errors will the Sox make (4 points)? 0 4) Which Sox infielder will have the most hits (4 points)? Jose Valentin 5) How many walks will Frank have in the series (5 points)? 1 6) What will Loaiza's ERA be after the series (I will give 0.1 either way) (5 points)? 2.21 7) How many saves will the Sox have (4 points)? 0 8) Will Frank Thomas make the All Star Team (Y/N) (2 points)? No 9) Will Carl Everett have at least 5 hits in the series (Y/N) (2 points)? No 10) Will Jeremy Bonderman have 14 losses after this series (Y/N) (2 points)? No TIEBREAKER: How many runners will the Sox strand as a team for the series? 16 THE WINNER: sideshowapu 15 (+8) (2 wins, 1 loss) THE STARTERS: whitesox247 13 (+11) (1 win, 0 losses) Winning Ugly 11 (0) YASNY 10 (+1) (1 win, 0 losses) Mathew 9 (-2) (0 wins, 1 loss) southsider2k3 9 (+9) (0 wins, 1 loss) Soxheads 9 (+10) (1 win, 0 losses) MartePartay 9 (+11) (1 win, 0 losses) TheBigHurtBEGOOD 7 (+5) THE BENCH: Texsox 6 (+2) elrockinMT 6 CubsSuck1 5 (0) THE LOSER: cwsox 2 (-1) (0 wins, 2 losses) I split up the starters and the bench but it doesn't really mean anything, just felt like doing it. I was thinking the current scoring system is kinda weird with only one person winning and losing every week. I could have split it like this and had a few winners and losers every week but it's too late now I guess. There's always next season.

I honestly don't think firing JM is the answer either but at least I can feel like the organization has recognized a change needs to be made. I want to feel like the opinions of a large part of this fan base mean something.

I understand we're all a bit up tight right now. The F Yous should really be directed at all the Sox for the past 6 games minus 1.

Does anyone even think Jerry Manuel and Dusty Baker combined could manage one of these s***ty teams in Chicago to a World Series?

Our team is actually good in ONE offensive category: hitting homeruns. Wow you would think that would mean good things...well it doesnt.

I wanted him fired before. Then we got hot and part of me wanted to believe it was because of Manuel. Well we sucked to the point where we already fired one hitting coach this year. I actually like Walker and think he is a better hitting coach than Ward was. We have been presented with yet ANOTHER PERFECT DAY TO FIRE MANUEL. This could be the 40th oh so time I could say that this year. Some say if it ain't broke don't fix it...WELL ITS f***IN BROKE MORONS!1! :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou

Wow I came back from class and we lost 1-0 to Detroit. I laughed...I don't know why maybe because there is no other reaction. Just when you think they can't get any worse they lose 1-0 to Detroit AGAIN. E-Lo pitches a 1-0 Loss against Detroit AGAIN. The baseball gods may be playing a really cruel joke on us White Sox fans. Maybe its time to stop believing in the baseball gods. God almighty this is just sad. I'm done with the White Sox for today. Lets talk about something fun like Family Guy.
