Execute. Execute. Execute. Please guys. We need a big hit.

Thome with a double.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 06:59 PM) Wow Sox are now swinging at first pitch. Things are changing. That took a whole 3 innings.

We finally shut up these stupid Twins fans for once. Keep them quiet guys.

Single by Dye.

You can cancel the postgame show. All on one swing.

Gone! OC! Tie game b****.

UGH. Every long ball we hit is foul these days.

Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin anywhere Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit He took the midnight train goin anywhere A singer in a smokey room A smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on and on and on Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlight people, living just to find emotion Hiding, somewhere in the night Working hard to get my fill, Everybody wants a thrill Payin anything to roll the dice, Just one more time Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on (chorus) Dont stop believin Hold on to the feelin Streetlight people Come on guys, get this s*** done!

Come on offense. Get behind Gavin. Support him. Do something useful! You've seen Slowey once already, now start hitting!

Hmmm. Slowey's getting the movable strike zone. Gavin...not so much.

We still need to have some faith in this team. As bad as we have looked so far, there have been times this year where the Sox have come out of nowhere and poured it on the other team after looking lifeless for the first half of the game. It's only a one run game. Stop thinking about how bad we're at the plate and how bad we will be. It's times like these where I question why I'm even a fan. I'm supposed to enjoy the game, win or lose. Whatever I guess.

I understand that Griffey has driven in all of our runs in this series, but this game should be scoreless right now... BA is really deep in Ozzie's doghouse.

Nice, we still don't have a hit. This team is pulling the choke job of the decade.

We're getting out guessed in every aspect. Who's fault is that? Who's responsible for letting the hitters know the plan of attack? Greg freakin' Walker... Useless when we need it most. Ugh.

I'm in this b****.

Duckworth did pitch pretty well against them last time out. The Royals ended up winning that game. Our destiny is in our own damn hands. Don't expect the Royals to help us out.

Griffey in the lineup again...*Sigh. Is Ozzie blind?

Tha Wise III might make a groundbreaking debut today in the Metrodome.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 01:07 PM) which is more important - offense or defense? ozzie's in a tight situation, you start griffey because he brings more offense than anderson. Anderson obviously brings better defense. It's a tough call, imo. Anderson's slugging better than Griffey and has an OPS almost as high. Anderson is just as productive as Griffey at the plate right now with a much more reliable glove in center.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 01:12 PM) and he drove in all 3 runs we scored. just saying. He hit into a double play to drive in the first run. He hit a home run in garbage time. He failed to make one of the biggest plays in the game on defense that any other outfielder besides him and Dye would of made. Swisher might of even had that ball. At best, Griffey didn't produce at all yesterday. At worst, you could of said he cost the Sox a couple of runs.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 10:28 AM) If we win tonight, we win the division. If we lose tonight, Minnesota wins the division. I understand that's an opinion and not a vent, but I believe it to be absolutely true. We HAVE to win tonight, end of story. One day at a time. Remember, Floyd starts in game 3.

I swear, if Griffey starts in center again today, Ozzie has some explaining to do. Griffey's inability to catch that fly ball in the gap totally set up that 3 run 4th inning. His second home run in garbage time also meant absolutely nothing. Play Anderson Ozzie, play Anderson! You can even play Owens. Please, we need more range in center!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 11:43 PM) Vazquez was absolutely terrible tonight, and I don't care if he didn't have his best stuff. FSN North had him registering around 88-92 with his fastball, and I don't remember seeing him use his changeup at all. That Kubel AB was pathetic too...I wonder what happens when you throw a good fastball hitter 6 straight fastballs...? Griffey has a use on this team, but it's as a backup outfielder or pinch hitter late in the game. He should be no where near CF tomorrow - hopefully it's Anderson or even Swisher or Wise - but I strongly doubt it and expect a similar lineup tomorrow night. That's a piss poor lineup the Sox are throwing out there. I also wouldn't mind seeing either Wise or Ramirez in the 2 hole tomorrow...AJP is a cheater because he is cheering for the Twins. The stoppers are going in the next two, and Blackburn got f***ed up his last start. Time for Buehrle to earn his moneys. Javy did use his changeup. Unfortunately, when he did, it got crushed. The home run he gave up to Kubel was on a high change up.

Clayton Richard's not helping... Embarrassing game one.
