Damn.

NEVER FORGET.

Hawk calls a HR foul and a triple a HR. Bahahaha.

NEVER FORGET.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 24, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) Thatta boy Gordon. Was going to comment on how he won't go down softly anymore -- that earned him a pitch to hit. Never used to see him hit high fastballs well. I'm cool with it.

De Aza still gets on you fool!

He's Pheelin' it tonight. Ok, I'm done.

I hate the Twins. Can we light them on fire?

f***ing Twins man.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 24, 2012 -> 07:40 PM) BS way to lose the no-no I thought the same even if though it's the third

Hawk didn't even say "stay fair!" He's reading this board.

Why can't people throw first pitches well without a big ass loop in it?

When I covered Mizzou games this year, I somehow only covered victories.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 24, 2012 -> 06:02 PM) I actually think the opposite. All it has to be is a different subforum. IPS should allow for different formatting depending on the board you are on (so just paint everything red and replace Konerko with Rose). Then all you would need is to redirect the domain name (which ST already owns) to that subforum, which is extremely easy. ...go on.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 24, 2012 -> 04:45 PM) Yes, Ozzie is responsible for acquiring all the s***ty players. Ozzie is the devil. Ozzie is responsible for everything that's bad with our pathetic organization. Sorry I can't blame the demise of the Roman empire on Ozzie. He played Dunn. He could have benched him. He played Rios. He could have benched him. WHO ACQUIRED THOSE TWO PLAYERS??? Did he also aquire stiffs like Lilly and Escobar and some of the revolving relief hacks we employ? No but he pitched Jenks. He WANTED to lose. Sure he did. The man was and IS a very very good manager. He threw games? Please. Kenny acquired them. We know that. He's been demonized for it. No, he's acquired none of those players you mentioned. He didn't acquire De Aza either, who he could have played over Rios last year. He didn't acquire Viciedo, who he could have played over Dunn.

Explains why he's been pitching like s***?

Trade or injury...the hell is going on?

Force Pacers to right side of basket = success?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 24, 2012 -> 04:03 PM) Yes I believe what I write And your listing of records backs me up. Considering the White Sox history this is a damn fine record you listed of the Oz era. This is a pretty damn good stretch record wise. You say "get that s*** outta here" and yet you say what you said about 2011? Cmon. if Ozzie threw games there should be a MLB investigation and he should be Pete Rosed and his career hosed. 2004: 83-79. Could have done better, but pretty good for first year. 2005: 99-63. We all know what happens, 11-1 in playoffs. Good times had. 2006: 90-72. This team should have won the World Series, but didn't make the playoffs. Record should have been better. This year was a failure. 2007: 72-90. Well, that was a laughably bad year. 2008: 89-74. Stumbled at end, Danks stepped up for once to get them in via Game 163. Decimated in playoffs. 2009: 79-83. Well, this was the beginning of the end. 2010: 88-74. Had far more potential if we had Thome and the Twins didn't. 2011: 78-82. Ozzie threw games left and right. Intentionally. Obviously. Throwing games by playing s***ty players and throwing games by being the 1919 White Sox are two different things.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 24, 2012 -> 03:30 PM) The Sixers probably play the best defense in the league, because of that they are always in games just like the Bulls. Of course we have (had) D Rose which is the x factor. When Rose was in we were decimating them.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ May 24, 2012 -> 04:02 PM) I came up with a new nickname THE ADAM BOMB. And it fits well with our Tank and Missile. Feel free to use that nickname or just use DAdam DAnn. This is your first one that doesn't make my soul weep.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 24, 2012 -> 10:16 AM) No MVP awards, 1 top 5 MVP finish, no seasons leading the league in HR, .863 career OPS, 5 all star appearances. 1 ALCS MVP award, 1 WS ring. That's the definition of "hall of very good". He absolutely needs the milestone to get in. 2012 QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ May 24, 2012 -> 10:16 AM) What would happen if Paulie got hit in the face a third time? He'd probably never strike out, line out, pop out, or fly out. He'd be intentionally walked even if the bases were loaded. Wasn't Jeffy Alphabet the third time?

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 24, 2012 -> 10:08 AM) Paulie has a .420 BABIP. I think it's safe to say he won't hit .381 this year, but we should all prepare for the inevitable. LIES.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 24, 2012 -> 02:34 AM) You really believe what you type? How the hell did he "betray" the White Sox? By winning a WS? You think KW doesn't have a big "ego" as well? And Jerry? If you guys want to make Ozzie the bad guy ... I say "for what?" For winning consistently here? For bringing us a WS? Yes it ended badly. Big deal. I happen to blame the players for the team's effort the last couple years. You really believe what you type? Ozzie betrayed the Sox after 2005. Ozzie in 2012 =/= Ozzie in 2005. He felt like his victory in '05 enabled him to whatever he wanted. You know what that is? That'd be like after WW2 us looking at the Soviet Union going "...nah. They helped us win WW2. We're cool with them." Everyone knows that KW has an ego. You act like Ozzie doesn't have the biggest ego in all of f***ing baseball. KW never tried to let this s*** effect the on field product or complain to the media about it. If Reinsdorf has an ego, he rarely lets it get in the way of his loyalty. Consistently winning? What consistent winning? Here's Ozzie's year by year. 2004: 83-79. Could have done better, but pretty good for first year. 2005: 99-63. We all know what happens, 11-1 in playoffs. Good times had. 2006: 90-72. This team should have won the World Series, but didn't make the playoffs. Record should have been better. This year was a failure. 2007: 72-90. Well, that was a laughably bad year. 2008: 89-74. Stumbled at end, Danks stepped up for once to get them in via Game 163. Decimated in playoffs. 2009: 79-83. Well, this was the beginning of the end. 2010: 88-74. Had far more potential if we had Thome and the Twins didn't. 2011: 78-82. Ozzie threw games left and right. Intentionally. Obviously. That is not consistent and it's mediocrity. You blame the players for the teams effort? Then they get all the credit for over-achieving in 2005. One or the other. Ozzie is the manager, he's supposed to get effort. He also could have played De Aza over Rios, Viciedo over Dunn, etc. Ok, I know Buehrle and Paulie are somehow inhumanly ageless, but other players aren't. Kotsay is a piece of s*** who made a good bench player, that's it. Definitely not a full time DH. My friends who are Brewers fans hated having him last year. Pierre at this point is a bench player because he can't get on base. However, he wouldn't be playing if not for injuries. I liked Juan Dog though, he tried, he was just laughably bad at one point. Wise is a AAAA player. Brian Anderson is the equivalent of DeWayne Wise minus the cool-ass catch. Erstad was an injury plagued season removed from being a good ass player. Rios has been fine this year by the way, you just don't like him because you want a guy who was out of baseball in 2010 starting in RF still. Oh, apparently it is possible to stutter while typing since you forgot Erstad's name and remembered it in the span of a period. And us poor poor fans for wanting good players on our team? Well, f*** us then. Let's just go down to the T-Ball field get 25 kids and as long as they try hard that's OK. And f*** us for wanting someone who puts the team before himself. Like I said before, get that s*** outta here.
