if the el foldo plays itself out, at least there should be some good behind the scenes dirt on this team.

 

maybe even a book.

 

this team will go down with the most memorable teams in Sox history

Great start by Garland!!!! Lets hope PK and Everett get all of one, cause I highly doubt they'll be swinging for a single.

Garland's arm was so tired he could barely make the throw to first on that last play.

Only because he keeps getting thrown out at 2nd every damn time he's on base.

 

He needs to get the stop sign until he's healthier.

Agreed,or the hit and run!

Its the lightest .360 you ever want to see. He's not going to the bench, but this guy generates very few runs.

 

His job isn't to generate runs. Its to get on base so the other 4 or 5 guys behind him can generate runs.

 

His numbers are .362 .423 .468 in September. That's incredible. What the hell are you talking about. If everyone on this team contributed like that right now we'd be awesome.

nice throw, Judy!

Garland was great. Its nice a pitcher stepped up. Now get him out, his next start is against Cleveland. I don't think you want him facing them after throwing 135 pitches.

If Ozzie leaves John in something bad is going to happen.  This has been a recurring theme this year.  After a stellar perfromace, trotting them out there with 100 pitches, only bad things happen.  TANKE HIM OUT!

Think of it this way...If it goes 14 innings, the Twins have used up 2 pitchers, and thanks to an INCREDIBLE f***ING PERFORMANCE by Jon Garland (you guys call him Judy again before the playoffs... )...we haven't used any, so we don't have to go to Adkins like we did last time we had a marathon against these guys.

If the offense doesn't score this inning, they should start putting pitchers at the positions.

 

I mean, come on, who would love to see Bobby Jenks play second base. Or, El Duque at short! I bet he's got killer range for a 40 year old (or 36, or whatever he is).

I'm looking forward to the Japanese version about Iguchi and his issues regarding the team.

Garland's arm was so tired he could barely make the throw to first on that last play.

 

I guess that could be it for Garland. Let's get a run or two, then it's Jenk's time.

of course, looking on the bright side, if we make the playoffs, at least we're playing some games with playoff level intensity the last two weeks, right?

I know.  That very deceptive .360 is a reason why there's not a chance in the world that he'll ever be taken out.  It's fine...Ozzie is going to win or lose w/the people that put us in this place.  That's his decision, and I just hope he doesn't try to deflect the blame like he's been doing lately if things end bad.

 

Your kidding rihgt. You want to bench a guy whose OBP is almost .450 in the leadoff spot in more than 50 ABs in September. How am I supposed to take that seriously.

Every single person in this thread (except for the Twins fan, if he's here) should be raising a glass to Jon Garland right now.

 

COME ON CORPSEBALL KIDS. CAN YOU f***ING GET A SINGLE RUN. I WAS AT THAT 16 INNING AFFAIR WHEN YOU BLEW DOG AGAINST GUERRIER. SHORT QUICK LINE DRIVE SWINGS. NOT THE I AM GOING FOR THE FENCE LONG BALL CORPSEBALL SWINGS THAT WILL HAVE US 1-2-3

Marte is up in the Sox bullpen...he'll probably face Mauer.

Come on Paulie...you're WAAAAY overdue.

Your kidding rihgt. You want to bench a guy whose OBP is almost .500 in the leadoff spot in more than 50 ABs in September. How am I supposed to take that seriously.

 

Never did I say I want to bench him. I said that there's no chance Ozzie will take any veteran out of their spot the rest of the way, so there's no point arguing about guys deserving to be in or out.

2-19 in the 3rd spot.

His job isn't to generate runs. Its to get on base so the other 4 or 5 guys behind him can generate runs.

 

His numbers are .362  .423 .468 in September. That's incredible. What the hell are you talking about. If everyone on this team contributed like that right now we'd be awesome.

First off how many of those times he got on did he quickly get himself thrown out? He could be batting .700, if he isn't scoring runs, he's worthless, because he's not going to drive in any and he's going to cost you in the field. They need to have more guys who can generate runs in the line-up.

The White Sox have gone 9 innings without having a single leadoff man on base.

of course, looking on the bright side, if we make the playoffs, at least we're playing some games with playoff level intensity the last two weeks, right?

TOTALLY. Great point.

 

World Series here we come!!!

Ok. I admit I've been drinking too.

Man, this is such a BAD time for Paul to start his slumping again!

Where have all the good men gone

And where are all the gods?

Where’s the street-wise Hercules

To fight the rising odds?

 

Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?

Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need

 

I need a hero

I'm holding out for at hero 'till the end of the night

He's gotta be strong

And he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

 

I need a hero

I’m holding out for a hero 'till the morning light

He’s gotta be sure

And it’s gotta be soon

And he’s gotta be larger than life

Lager than life

 

Doo doo doo doooo

Doo doo doo doooo

Doo doo doo doooo

Aaahhh

Aaahhh

 

Somewhere after midnight

In my wildest fantasy

Somewhere just beyond my reach

There’s someone reaching back for me

 

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat

It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

 

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night

He's gotta be strong

And he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

 

I need a hero

I’m holding out for a hero 'till the morning light

He’s gotta be sure

And it’s gotta be soon

And he’s gotta be larger than life

 

I need a hero

I'm holding out for at hero 'till the the end of the night

 

---------

 

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above

Out where the lightning splits the sea

I could swear there is someone somewhere

Watching me

 

Through the wind and the chill and the rain

And the storm and the flood

I can feel his approach

Like a fire in my blood

 

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night

He’s gotta be strong

And he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

 

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light

He's gotta be sure

And it's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life
