I'll never admit Moronotti is right about any topic. EVER. Is there a correlation between attendance and winning baseball? No, I suppose he rather write about our struggling attendance then discuss winning baseball. I can't stand comparisons to the Cubs on this regurgitated subject. It goes beyond simple fan devotion to their favorite ballclub. Wrigley Field, in addition to its serene setting, is an outdoor beer-garden attracting affluent adults with disposable incomes. Location, WGN, Harey Caray, Sammy Sosa, 2003 NLCS have all combined themselves into a national phenemenom. Quit the baseless comparisons, Moron.

What's the excuse today, gentleman? Did Ozzie not properly define his role this evening? Was the lapse in defense responsible?

You can't blame Cotts for his outting tonight. Because.....well...you see....IT"S NOT HIS FAULT. Ozzie misused him!

Now, how exactly does one obtain a federally approved ID Card? The government could really stick it to illegal immigrants if proof of citizenship/naturalization papers are required..

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ May 12, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) ======================= Rob Would you like to have a sensible debate about the White Sox on a White Sox board? I promise it will not be childish and immature. Just pure baseball talk....if you would like to, let me know. I can send you a link to a website where there are some very astute baseball fans with who you could debate. Thanks Just a White Sox fan ========================= [/color] I have no problem with inviting Neyer, but we all know any debate with him won't be "sensible." I've been browsing WSI, and he's already (childishly) replied to several members' emails. If he mimmicks this behavior on Soxtalk , it won't be too pretty for Neyer's self-esteem.

Where are the Rob Neyer apologists on this dousy? Usually, regardless of content, quasi-sabermetricians agree with Rob Neyer on every subject. I may respect his opinions, but his comments, in this instance, are spiteful and ultimately sound as if someone in the White Sox organization pissed him off. Who has ever openly complained about our uniforms? I believe the road uni's are some of the best in the league. I simply don't understand how our uniforms, the name/appearance of our ballpark can constitute whether or not someone deems us "likeable." I'm just upset Neyer decided to ignore the question of media biasm and instead deliver his cheap jabs. How about debating WHY the national media ignores the White Sox? How about questioning IF roles were reversed with Billy Beane making the offseason moves or Yankess holding our record what would happen?

QUOTE(fathom @ May 11, 2005 -> 02:46 PM) Ozzie couldn't just leave well enough alone I guess. I can't criticize him for bringing in Marte to face two lefties, but leaving in Politte wouldn't have been a terrible decision. I was thinking the same. The matchups favored Marte, and I certaintly don't blame Ozzie for bringing him out, but Politte was pitching well before his removal. With 1 out, no one on, and a three run lead I would have kept Politte in the game until he let a baserunner reach. At worst, it's a two run lead with a HR.

Wouldn't you know. Pitching fails to shut down the opposition, AGAIN, following an inning in which the offense scores.

Why have the Sox played through 3 innings against Brazelton, yet have 1 hits and 1 run? You have to beat yourself to screw up this much, There's no excuses tonight if the offense is shut down. Brazelton is Tampa Bay pitching fodder. Offense scores below 4 runs and there needs to be a lineup change. Preferably without Timo Perez.

TIMO disgraces Ozzieball yet again. He's not exactly the fleetest of foot. Don't know why he attempts the steal. I usually root for this guy to upset his detractors, but this is ridiculous.

Aaron, no bunting please. Bases loaded, 0 out, two runs should score. Atleast two.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 11, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) I don't like it. I'm not as confident as I would have been with Rusch projected to start. But they've battled against tough pitchers this year. If we beat Cubs 2/3 or sweep, atleast we're doing it against their best.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 10, 2005 -> 10:43 PM) I can't take credit for that one. I heard it was SleepyWhiteSox that coined that one. You, however, can take credit for this: + = :headshake

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 10, 2005 -> 06:03 PM) At least we are working this guy. But I just hope that All-Star Lance Carter doesn't come on in relief again. After pitching three innings of scoreless relief I doubt it. It's sad when Carter's 85 mph fastballs could fool our hitters for three straight innings. It was as if everyone was expecting a curveball which never was thrown.

God damn Singleton. This is unbelievable. Why is it always one scrub a series who kills our team?

QUOTE(JimH @ May 10, 2005 -> 05:44 PM) The Sox broadcasting crew digging up all kinds of Ventura stats, slobbering all over his knob. Yeah, DJ's really been pouring it on these two games. "Must be good to be Robin Ventura." "19 career Grand Slams? Amazing."

Surprisingly quick inning for Contreras. I would have thought the plan against him would be to see as many pitches as possible.

Dead again, fails to drive in RISP. We must execute and take advantage of these opportunities for our pitchers.

QUOTE(SHAFTR @ May 10, 2005 -> 05:06 PM) He sounds like an idiot...and White Sox fans are often stereotyped as idiots. By who, exactly? Lemming Cub fans? If I followed stereotypes, only someone with a strong feminine lisp should announce Cub games.

20, Palos Heights. Where white famillies move from larger cities to join fellow Caucasians in racial monopoly. Attend University of Illinois-Chicago.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 10, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) I disagree,Gio, Liotta, Sweeney, Fields, are also untouchable in my book. Until another midseason approaches where Sox are near or atop of the division, and then this attitude changes. Again. In two years we'll be holding this same exact debate about "prospects being prospects" and "having to win now." If Williams is intent on modeling an organizational philosophy in-line with Minnesota, you simply don't trade solid prospects for three month rentals. Any else ever in awe when Minnesota continually promotes prospects will instantly contribute to the team? Well, they tend to develop talent. And not trade them away every midseason to "push them over the top."

Carter does not pitch 3 innings of scoreless relief unless an offense is getting themselves out. Three innings of 85 mph fastballs- just fastballs, no breaking pitches, and somehow this is baffling hitters. Unbelievable.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 9, 2005 -> 07:22 PM) People will start to b**** about cotts? Will people slurp Cotts before he throws one pitch? Answer to both are yes.

Wow. Two pitchers with ERA's above 5.50 have never looked so dominant. It's unbelievable when our offense can't score off scrub Tampa Bay pitchers. Nomo is terrible. No one can convince me otherwise. Chris Carter? LOL. Yet two runs have crossed the plate.
