Steve9347 Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) It's on... Take this from someone who's been with every pitch of this team, this year and the past. Last night, clutch 2-run single by MVP candidate Jermaine Dye in the eighth inning. Tonight, not one, but two comebacks... one against the guy with the most consecutive saves in the league (though don't ask me how a junkballer managed that)... these last two games were such a resilliant bunch; I am so excited... we're getting it done with singles instead of the homerun ball. This was championship baseball at it's best, and I am happy to say that I am a f***ing Chicago White Sox fan. Stretch. It will.... you can put it on the board............................................. yes. Edited June 11, 2006 by Steve9347 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I love how people hate homeruns... yet they are the only sure hit for a run. I could care less if the sox scored seven runs of singles and doubles... or all off of three homeruns. Anyone ever notice that when the sox have not scored for three innings '' they are swinging for the fences''. Almost never does someone give a pitcher the respect they deserve... or does someone mention that the team cannot pick up a certain guy. Why does no one b**** when the sox are swinging for the fences? Shouldn't they be more content with a single? I am pretty positive most think the red sox... yankees... mets... just swing for the fence too. Reading soxtalk you would think that... 1. Homeruns are bad... a base hit is superior. 2. Everytime a white sox player gets an out it is because they were pulling it for a home run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime a white sox player gets an out it is because they were pulling it for a home run. It is more likely that a player will hit a single more than any other hit, so the odds are in favor of manufacturing runs than swinging for the fences. So in terms of offensive efficiency, a base hit is better than a HR because of the frequency at which they occur. HRs are not bad though; take them when you can get them.

It will.... you can put it on the board............................................. yes. There seems to have been a change in atmosphere on the ballclub, or what we fans see of it anyway. I hope this is the beginning of the group coming together and driving for the title phase of the season. And I hope that KW is able to work some trade magic to help the pitching. (I know Garland has a no-trade clause, but that only means he would have to okay a trade -- maybe he wants to be somewhere else, which would give the Sox that trade option. Dunno.)

THEWOOD Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 The last two games have been incredible. My buddy who has been to quite a lot of sox games with me, including ALDS and ALCS last year said that yesterdays game was probably the best game he has seen. Definitely been a great atmosphere, hopefully it is slam packed tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I can think of maybe one or two games in which it looked like the team had no life. That's about it. They've had the never quit thing goin' all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had the never quit thing goin' all year. I agree. Watching on TV, I loved our rally tonight in the ninth, but I couldn't help but be mad at all the runs Fred gave up earlier that cost us the game on massive home run shots. I'm still concerned because I don't think we just now developed a winning attitude. I like you think we've had it all year and the team still has some major on the field question marks.

They found some balls against Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
