QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 03:00 PM) Wow, how slow is Beckham? Just a miserable game for him. Miserable season...period.

With the ops that Gordon has had this year, he could have easily been the MVP of this team

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) That was terrible by Teahen. Why was he not bunting there, yet we bunt when someone is on first? Absolutely correct and it cost them with Rios single. But everyone thinks Ozzie is a great manager. Bunting in that situation takes no brain power at all.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 02:39 PM) How can you guys not like Hawk? I think he's incredible. He's not the typical dull bland crummy announcer. He's great. Vin Scully bores me to tears with his azure blue skies over smog-filled LA. Just don't take Hawk seriously and you'll be fine.

If you're not gonna hit, you've go to at least field the damn balll

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 02:11 PM) Seems like no one that posts here has ever been in a locker room. Managing a team is a lot different than managing a damn strat-o-matic game. When do you time to post, Ozzie?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 02:06 PM) Wow, STFU Hawk. LOL...You would have had to stretch that 250 feet

QUOTE (Real @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 02:02 PM) Good thing we're resting our regulars all on the same day With all of those horrid one-run losses and bad managerial decisions in August, Guillen lost his advantage to rest his players.

It's a miracle that pitcher isn't out cold or worse Leyland smart to take him out Another young pitcher with horrid mechanics

Kelly's having a career day at the plate and on the field. E-jax was due for one of these. And this line-up the Sox fielded today is not going to help either. They'll have plenty of rest after this month.

Ozzie's determined to take Kenny down with him.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 02:58 PM) WOW . Thank u Red Sux. Break of the millenium

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 02:10 PM) I like how Ozzie always rests guys in the Sunday lineup to keep them fresh, yet come every September, we suck. Unless the Sox make it to the playoffs, this will be the last of Guillen. Lest you all forget, Reinsdorf forced Guillen down Kenny's throat because the price was right.

Beltre would be perfect for the Sox

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 03:41 AM) The chairman brought us a WS title. Not bad considering the ineptitude in this town concerning baseball championships. The chairman didn't pitch one game in the playoffs. 2005 was a one-hit wonder. He and his cronies have owned the team for 28 years.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 11:19 AM) Just keep winning , just keep winning . Just keep winning winning winning . Based on the line-up today, it is very clear to me the power struggle between Williams and Guillen is just getting worse. We did not sign Ramirez for 30 days to rest him. The DH by committee was a fisaco and probably will cost us the division. If nothing else, it opened the door to Twins to sign Thome who has now been elevated to folk hero since Morneau went down. I just can't see how these two can co-exist much longer. Who should go? Frankly, I like to see them both gone. However, my real wish continues to be new ownership but that's a pipe dream.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 10:38 AM) Put Q in for Andruw and you have my ideal line up. Agreed. It took all the way to September to get here - absolutely amazing.

I would like to be whoever is the majority owner so I could stage a coup to remove the Chairman.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 02:56 PM) He needs to learn some control first before I start doing back flips. A lot of these young guys are coming into the league with great raw talent but terrible mechanics. Sale is in this class so and so was Threets. Everytime Sale delivers a ptich I hold my breath. Thorthon is a freak of nature. He throws in the high 90's almost effortlessly. His problem is not mechanics, it is overuse by the manager. If Matt had a curve ball and a change-up, he would be the second coming of Koufax.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:04 PM) Rios has really hurt them in the three spot of late. Besides, you don't pay somebody $4M a month to bat 5 or 6. Rios batting 3rd was a big mistake and continues to be. Manny's presence puts him down further in the lineup and may make him productive again Manny is coming back to the league he's knows and is going from an airport to a launching pad. He'll improve the offense but it's the middle relief that needs to be addressed.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:59 PM) And quite frankly, it's not like our offense has been bad lately anyway. We've got bigger issues now. Our bullpen (minus Sale) has been horrible and injured lately, our starting pitching (minus Jackson and Buehrle) hasn't been that great this month of August. Middle relief along with a couple of left hitting batters should be the sole concentration of whoever is running this team in the winter.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:55 PM) I agree. But nothing has really changed after the first round. Cheap/safe seems to be the motto. There's talent to be had up and down a 50 round baseball draft. With strong Reinsdorfian emphasis on CHEAP. Whether Ozzie and/or Kenny stays or goes is irrelevant. The change is needed at the ownership level. But he and his cohorts are making too much money

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:43 PM) Well, it's likely we don't score more than 7 runs cause Rivera starts the 9th inning then. You wouldn't have needed more than 7 runs. Basic arithematic

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:40 PM) Great effort from the offense...but sadly, we're 4.5 games out. If we lose another game in standings tomorrow, then save the Manny money and extend Konerko. Manny is not coming here. It's all a big rogue to get the Dodgers motivated. Frankly, I don't think the Dodgers have a chance at a wild card berth. But desperate people do desperate things.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:39 PM) Can't even get mad. Great thing to tell your kids you got to watch a legend close games for the Yankees growing up. The fact we got 2 runners on to give us a slight chance is amazing in itself. Take away Pena and Torres and there is no Rivera because there is no bottom 9th.
