July 24, 200619 yr Have to admit this. I had tickets to Friday nites game. But with the SOX playing like garbage, The Rangers coming into town hitting a ton, and Mark Buehrle on the mound, I simply wasnt in the mood to go home afterwards in a BAD MOOD because the SOX and Buehrle got pummelled again while the Tigers just keep on winning. It was game time decision, but I simply pretended the SOX were off and went about my business. I am going tonite however, despite my not feeling good about tonites game either .......... maybe I can bark at Vazquez in the bullpen and keep him focused ........
July 24, 200619 yr Author Been a long time since I was so pissed at the SOX that I simply decided to do something else with my evening ...... heh heh.
July 24, 200619 yr 59-38 .608 ...and they aren't even playing well right now. I think everything is going to be fine.
July 24, 200619 yr Lucky for me I've been in Disney World for the past few days, so the scores have been nothing more than an annoyance if I got to see them at all. But now I'm going to the game tonight, so I could use a win.

But they are 59-38 since 4/4. Statements like that are the reason generalizing terms such as "dark clouds" come into existence.
July 24, 200619 yr Author QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 08:51 AM) I'll take that bet. You think the Sox will be .500 by mid September?? The way Vazquez and Buehrle are pitching, couple with the way Ozzie forgot how to use his bullpen, plus the fact the SOX bullpen isnt as great as it was last year, and it wouldnt be out of the realm of possibility. The SOX have the toughest schedule the rest of the way. In fact, the top 5 teams in the AL and wildcard race, the SOX have the pleasure of playing them ALL in the next couple of weeks. This team chose a bad time to slump. QUOTE(SoxFan76 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 08:59 AM) You cannot be serious... But they are 59-38 since 4/4. Statements like that are the reason generalizing terms such as "dark clouds" come into existence. not trying to be a dark cloud, but their last 12 games, their pitching being brutal, couple that with the fact the SOX dont have anymore cupcake teams (unless you count Baltimore) the rest of the way, makes me feel not too great. This team is going to have to turn the switch ON, and right NOW.
July 24, 200619 yr QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:05 AM) The SOX have the toughest schedule the rest of the way. Detroit's August schedule: 17 Straight games vs Winning Teams / 23 out of 26 vs Winning Teams August 7 - 9 - MIN August 11-13 - @ SOX August 14-16 - @ BOS August 17-20 - TEX August 21-24 - SOX August 25-27 - @ CLE August 29-31 - @ NYY September 1-3 - LAA
July 24, 200619 yr This sounds like a lot of words to say: "I think Mark Buehrle sucks, and I have enough expendable income where I can buy tickets to the game and not care if I attend or not."

So really for the SOX, the season just got that much shorter. We have to catch up to, and overtake the Tigers by a number of games before those KC/Tiger games. The Tigers will not lose one game to them at that point ...........
