July 20, 200619 yr WOOT! Glad the starters are all rested for our MONUMENTAL series against Texas. This really is the pivotal 3 games this season. I'm glad we were looking past Detriot to get to this series. Not that the starters will play all three games anyway. Seriously, have they played an entire series yet?

July 20, 200619 yr I will say this now. The division race, is over. Congrats to the Tigers, they have played amazingly.
July 20, 200619 yr To Buehrle>Wood: You can take your reactionary, classless attitude elsewhere for all I care. You seem better suited for the ESPN or MLB boards. They'll enjoy that schtik there. Edited July 20, 200619 yr by RibbieRubarb

July 20, 200619 yr Note to KW/Ozzie: this is not the 2005 White Sox. Please make some moves to make them stronger on offense/defense/pitching. It doesn't have to be anything huge. Get Widger and Gload off this team, and add a solid back-up catcher and a 4th outfielder who's righty and can play a few OF positions like a major leaguer, and not a little leaguer.
July 20, 200619 yr While I'm satisfied our ballclub wasn't swept, leaving Detroit 5.5 games out -- especially after the dominance of Game 1 -- is very disappointing. I can't fault Contreras for this afternoon. He pitched well. But aside from him, and more recently Garland, I'm concerned about this team. We can't simply rely on our offense to push us past Detroit and Minnesota's pitching. Williams has to realize this White Sox team as currently constructed needs an upgrade.
July 20, 200619 yr The Sox are just trying to make a late season dramatic comeback, it is better tv. They can't do that from only 4 or 5 back.

July 20, 200619 yr A Red Sox win today and they tie us. 2-7 in our last 9 games. Scott Podsednik 0/10 this series Tadahito Iguchi 1/9 this series Jim Thome 1/12 this series Paul Konerko 2/10 this series, 2 home runs, 2 walks. Jermaine Dye 6/9 this series. AJ Pierzynski 0/9 this series Joe Crede 4/10 this series, 2 home runs. Juan Uribe 2/7 this series, 1 home run Brian Anderson 4/8 this series Alex Cintron 0/5 this series Rob Mackowiak 1/3 this series Chris Widger 0/3 this series. Pablo Ozuna 0/3 this series. That's a .221 batting average for our team over these 3 games. Edited July 20, 200619 yr by Balta1701
July 20, 200619 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 08:05 PM) A Red Sox win today and they tie us. 2-7 in our last 9 games. Can we please play national league teams again?
July 20, 200619 yr I don't mean to be naive but I'll say it again: yes, we stink right now, but if we're going to slump, I'd rather have it now and then go on a tear through August/September. Yeah, it's a setback, but we'll see how much this team really wants it from this point on. They had a chance to make a statement and that statement apparently was: the Tigers are way better than us. But really, people, the hitting slump? Vasquez's meltdown last night? Stranding all these guys today? This screams to me "ROUGH PATCH." In other words: TEMPORARY.
July 20, 200619 yr QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 03:05 PM) someone save this quote. There were a whole bunch of these last year. But they were first to post when we won the division...odd, isn't it?

July 20, 200619 yr This is starting to become pathetic.... If we dont win 2 out of 3 at the very least vs the Rangers im going to have to stop watching for a month or something b4 I get 2 angry.
July 20, 200619 yr it has been ugly, hopefully it ends here and we start a.... dare i say..... winning streak?

This team can't play small ball anymore, god dammit. If I'm Kenny, I'm calling Tampa everyday and offering a boatlad of prospects for Carl Crawford, and then getting help for this pen. This cannot continue to happen.
