You're gonna have to ask Ozzie about that one.

 

There has to be a method to his "madness"...

 

There have been times where posters have complained only to learn about a minor injury that kept someone out of the game afterwards.  That's what usually keeps me from second-guessing.

 

And that's why I asked if anyone had heard something about any injury.

You criticized people for complaining that Contreras was left in too long, and that Cotts should have stayed in instead of Jenks.  Were we wrong?  Since you seem to be an Ozzie apologist, how do you explain not playing Dye today?

 

How am I an Ozzie apologist? His team leads the AL by 6.5 games at the end of August without a very good offense, which means our pitching is doing the job in the order that he puts them in that you always complain about. What exactly am I apologizing for. I'm just pointing out how foolish you look by continually getting after Ozzie when he is right most of the time.

D'OH!!!!

 

WHAT THE HELL,CARL?

Possibly giving him a break after the great game, or he is giving some rest to prepare for the doubleheader.

Jeez, there's gonna be 6 steals today.

I was thinking along the same lines, but I'd rather not second-guess...

we're playing awful, awful fundamental baseball today on the defensive side of the game.

 

has garcia dropped out of the playoff rotation in anyone else's mind as well?

Just cause you win the game, it doesn't mean the manager is right. I'm going to stop discussing this, as it's all revisionist theory. You can go on any board for any team, and if you look at the in-game thread after the game, you'll find a lot of posts that can be criticized.

Jphat and Fathom, you two are two totally different types of posters. You guys need to set aside your differences and views and enjoy the damn games. Your both White Sox fans whats the big deal damn.

What the f***? Seriously, this is ridiculous.

This is a f***ING joke!!! Wake up guys!!!

I've said it all year. Whenever we seem to play 2 or 3 benchers in the same game, our fundamentals are awful in that game. Maybe it's just the mentality, but there's been an obvious drop-off.

This is the Bad News Bears.

No, he pitches MUCH better when his head's in the game.

Look what I just told him. He tries to start s*** all the time, and I'm just not going to respond to him again. I agree, no one wants to hear it every game.

I believe he has. I mean, there is no place in a playoff rotation for a guy with the 11th best starting ERA in the league.

 

And look how crappy he's been of late. Gave up 1 run on 1 hit to the Twins the other day and lost. He's a loser plain and simple.

No, he pithces MUCH better when his heads in the game.

he works once every 5 days, how can you not concentrate.

that's just terrible attitude showing

No, NOT AT ALL.

 

The twins game is still fresh on my mind...

Garcia must thinks he performing for the PBA Tour, and not the majors today.

8 game lead now.

We are not gonna win this game

Welcome to the dark side. You're absolutely right. 9 million bucks isn't enough for this guy to actually try most of the time.

I love Sunday lineups. Good throw by the most overrated Sox player in recent memory.

We are not gonna win this game

Atleast the Indians lost yesterday and we won. This game SUCKS.

I know, but that's just the way it appears
