Hangar18 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 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 ........

Hangar18 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan76 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 59-38 .608 ...and they aren't even playing well right now. I think everything is going to be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxrd5 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty down on this team right now but there is absolutely no way they're hovering around .500 in September. Absolutely 0 chance.

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 ........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
