QUOTE (quickman @ Jun 15, 2008 -> 10:44 AM) now we are 4.5 up, and don't look now but the tigers are catching fire. Hate to wake them up. Like I said in the game thread: objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. So much for beating the crappy NL teams to pad our lead. We face Colorado's best pitcher tomorrow, then a bunch of lefties from the Pirates and then the Cubs and a quick west coast trip to LA and then back home for the Cubs again. This could get real ugly fast. If this offense doesn't pull their heads out of their asses soon, wave goodbye to first place.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 15, 2008 -> 10:07 AM) The amazing thing, Northside, is Carlos "carried" us for a while. Think how bad our record would be w/out his earlier efforts? Now he's struggling and nobody is picking him up. I was thinking the exact thing. What if he hadn't won all those games for us? Too bad none of our "sluggers" have the balls to put the team on their backs for a while and keep this team in this. Its like we're sinking slowly in quick-sand, slowly sinking out of first place. All the while other Central teams could heat up. Detroit isn't out of this, you're kidding yourself if you think they are. That offense looks like it may be waking up, and they're getting their solid bullpen guys back soon. Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

This team is a f***ing joke. First place will be a memory by the ASB. This offense makes me sick. I thought the season low was after the last game in Tampa Bay. At least in that series we played a first place team with solid pitching that dominated in their own park. This is inexcusable. This is pathetic. This offense is the bottom of the barrel. Actually I think barrels would be offended by that statement.

Game over.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 15, 2008 -> 09:39 AM) We're gonna win this game. We have to. No excuses. It's June. Are we? This team sucks. What a f***ing joke.

BA, Juan, OC, we need runs.

Detroit handled the Dodgers today. We need to win. Cleveland is winning too, in the bottom of the 7th. Minny is down a run in the top of the 8th.

Just get a damn out. Overcoming this 1 run deficit will be tough enough as it is.

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Jun 15, 2008 -> 09:03 AM) What happened to thome? Yeah, is Ozzie just giving him some days off? He was like the only one who didn't hit when we were hot last week. Or is he hurt and they're hiding it? Hopefully if he's just getting rest he'll come back in his first half of 2006 form. Or better yet his 2004 Philly form.

I'm sick of this BS leadoff walk/hit that Dotel feels he must give up every outing.

Lets put some runs on the board right now and get Johnny the win. Light up Grilli.

This team makes me sick.

Here's to a quick 1-2-3 inning. When was the last time Bobby had one of those?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 10:24 AM) The best game threads are when the Sox jump out to an early lead and cruise to victory. I'd say those are the best games all together, save for a Sox walk off every now and then.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 10:20 AM) Don't tell that to ss2k or soxfan or everyone else that hates me. We need pessimists around here. Especially knowledgeable ones like you.

Lets get some insurance runs.

Lets bust this slump CQ!

There we go AJ!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 09:55 AM) Dodger announcers said their visit to the Tiger clubhouse today revealed that they were "unimpressed" with the White Sox. There wasn't much to be impressed with, aside from Buehrle's performance. However, F them, they haven't impressed anyone this year. Luckily for them they get to take their show to the Jr. league and pile on some wins, something I thought we'd do, if this offense gets their heads out of their asses. Edit: The chosen Juan ties it up!

Well we're back to the days of a 1 run (now 2 run) deficit feeling insurmountable. Way to go leaving Floyd in. He should have been yanked last inning.

How about the return of Klutch Konerko?

Nevermind he isn't on base anymore. This offense is really starting to tick me off. Thanks for the false hope last week boys.

How did OC get on base, Gameday is acting kooks.

BA with a non-Seattle HR!

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) we still have another game vs. detroit tomorrow. I'm aware. My bad I just worded it incorrectly.
