QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 09:37 PM) why? that's called overmanaging. Agreed, this game still could go extra innings, we all remember the Shingo game.

Rooney said it had a chance. What did Hawk say? "That ball hit deep..."?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) I'm not crazy about Cotts here. I'd rather see Marte. This game still has a possibility of us needing a 9th inning lefty or one in extra innings. I sure like Cotts here alot more than Viz.

It's too bad we can't move the fences back or un-fix the upper deck. Freddy's numbers have been awful at the Cell.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 08:38 PM) I said it the other day, but I can't wait for the justification after the season for the emphasis on speed. If you have the previous year's offense with this pitching, you have a World Series contending team. What you have this year is a division contending team. Standard deviation. The Sox had a notoriously inconsistent offense last year, at the beginning of this season we were one of the most consistent.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 19, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) 4 runs in the last 33 innings! White Sox baseball. Feel the excrement! I still am wondering what it feels like to win a big September game. Those first two against Minnesota at the Cell in Sept 03 is probably the closest I'll ever get.

QUOTE(YahtzeeSox @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 11:08 PM) Port Grand Theft Auto to Nintendo and I'm sold. So what you're really saying is you're never buying a Nintendo ever again?

I was really back and forth rooting for the Twins and Yankees during that series last year. For some reason I don't hate the Yanks as much as the Red Sox. I would have definitely rooted for Minny in a Twins/BoSox ALCS.

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 11:19 PM) I am going tommorrow, and since freddy has been on the sox i have been to 9 games when he pitched...the sox record....0-9...lets change that this time Nine times!?!? How can you even bring yourself to the ballpark to see him pitch a tenth? Can you maybe arrive during the bottom of the 1st? There might be some cash in it for you if Freddy shuts em down in the top of that inning.

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 10:30 PM) First of all, I didn't say anything so speak to whom is deserving. Second of all, something that brings one person down, may not bring another down. You see the great thing about a chat board is, if you dont like what you are reading you have every right to IGNORE IT. Third of all, if there are so called "trolls" here that no one wants then it should be up to the administrators to get rid of them, to tell people they cant post their feelings to another person's thought isn't right, except in the case of personal attacks and such, which I don't recall there being any. thank you though for your meaningless post Trolling is not tolerated in the long run. Usually we like to warn posters before giving them the boot unlike some message boards that we have been compared to recently. If such behavior continues, suspensions and banishments are eventually handed out. I'm concerned that you think it's an oxymoron. Right now you seem to be expressing yourself fine without inciting a flame war. The "do not feed the trolls" line is just sort of a preventative reminder that I hope stops at least some people from lashing out at the bait of every Indians troll or any other team's troll.

We scored 4 runs, hit no homers, got shutout in one game and managed to win a series 2 games to 1. I'm not saying the Sox are back but that sounds like alot of series recaps we had in April and May (minus the shutout).

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) we haven't had this big of a series since the minny one in 2003. This series will decide how the next couple weeks play out. God someone please can you make sure Jose Paniagua is not within 500 miles of Chicago?

We haven't really played well at home in a while against a decent team. They have exactly seven more chances to make up for the months of home s***tiness we've had to sit through. If the Indians sweep us, they better have earned it and not because of a no-show by the Sox. At the same time, I fully expect the Sox to come out firing at the Jake to end this season regardless of what happens this series.

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 08:52 PM) accept the point of a chat board is to be able to express your feelings. if you cant talk on a chat board then whats the point of a chat board? Talk and express all you want, just don't feed the trolls.

I can hear the music already: THUNDER na na naaa na na naaa na

Bah ok, I guess it's time to lock this thread.

QUOTE(tribetime @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 08:25 PM) i dunno what the heck is gonna on but go tribe!!!! afta the 3 gam3 set.....their will be a new AL central Leader!!!!!! The Royals have as good a chance of being in first place after this series as the Indians do. That is not an exaggeration.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 08:23 PM) How can there be no admins in this thread??? Not a good showing....... What do you need an admin for? I saw some honest baseball debate followed by the inevitable personal attacks but nothing suspendable.

I know it's small potatoes but these guys have been the bane of our existence for the past four seasons. They gawn from the AL Central after one more loss or Sox win.

What we should do is have El Duque just not play the first half of the season and save his arm for August, September and October. With the added rest he could be awesome for a very short period of time and be worth the money.

Please don't feed the trolls. Thanks, Soxtalk Management You guys disappoint me you know? You're playing right into any Indians fan's thread by posting what amounts to a big "NUH UH" over the Internet.

It's almost like this thread will decide the series instead of the teams. I love it. Is that all you got Indians fans? This is a pretty weak showing from a team as hot as you guys.

Buehrle vs. Westbrook is coming up again. Is that what the 3rd or 4th time these two have faced off this year?

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 02:18 PM) I just can't disagree with this more. For the first time since God knows when, Nintendo is finally catching on with the mainstream media again. People are begining to take notice, too. This and the many things the Rev already has over its competition makes me think the Revolution could be a huge success for Nintendo. I don't know, I think the Tokyo Game Show had a pretty weak lineup overall. Next year's E3 will really be make-or-break time for Nintendo.

I'm not really sure why he was banned either. I think bad Photoshops/Paintjobs are the funniest. I doubt this poster was really interested in sticking around but banning seems a little harsh at this point.
