Damon scored the first run...

 

And what the hell does that have to do with anything? That the Yankees caught the breaks and scored 3 runs last inning? Any team can do that. That's what the Tigers have lived on this year.

 

um... the tigers are actually good and can pitch the hell outta the ball. you're season tickets at wrigley are still availible

For crying out loud. Stop with the excuses. We are being completely outplayed tonight.

The Tigers have lost their last two. THEIR SEASON IS OVER!!!!!!!!!1

Hate to break it to ya, but Tigers>everyone this year. They're not just catching some magical breaks. And the fact that you still think they are lucky in mid-August is sad.

all you can offer is "Faith" i guess i need proof

 

Look at the standings, check our winning percentage. There is your proof. If our team really is gutless and has just "half-assed" it the whole season we'd be playing below .500 ball.

please point out some fact any fact ANYTHING that points to this team going anywhere this year. gimmie something besides "they haven't hit their stride" or "detroit is gonna come back to earth" or "they won it last year" or "dont' question ozzie, he won it all last year"

 

you want the whitesox to win? well bet against them...works everytime! how the heck do you make it green?

Hey Hawk, how'd the umpire screw Jon there as Cano crushed another hanging changeup to center?!?

 

And if Ozzie says after the game that Jon threw good tonight, I'm gonna puke

 

 

John got pinched on a few pitches and that has caused him to throw some meatballs over the plate. s*** happens and to compensate he threw over the plate and hung some to get strikes.

 

I personally think that most teams sit back and wait for our entire staff to throw a hanging change up. We have been getting killed with the hanging s***.

I'm starting to get worried here

The Tigers are using a pathetic strategy this year: very good solid pitching, very good relief, good defense, smart base running, good fundamentals, and clutch hitting. Their luck is soon to run out if they keep playing that way.

Anyway, I'm going to put my laptop away and just watch the game. This thread has become a joke, like most losing game threads.

About what, a no-hitter? If we're going to get shut-out, then maybe it might be the best for this team. Another righty hitter is a necessity for this team.

we're not the royals but we are not baseball elite. the yankees are showing us that

I don;t blame Jon G too much for this game. If you lookt at our pathetic offense, taht's where you should spend some time blaming or pointing the finger. RJ didn't K one batter in 52 at-bats and he comes agst us in the 1sy batter, he Ks f***ing Ozuna (great left-fielder defensevely and offensevely). Just try to hit HRs all the time! Have the same approach as yesterday, be more patient! I know that the umps are not halping us...but cmon!

This looks so f***ing easy.

uh oh, we might have a post-game show

People need to calm down. It's just 1 game.

2 for 32. I love Ozuna's hustle from earlier in the year, but the magic is gone.

Yes, let's all just put our heads in the sand and admit we've got terrific starting pitching and we're playing very good baseball in our 10-16 stretch.

it's one game that has happened MANY MANY MANY times this season

Johnson had a 5.11 era coming into the game today and I have a feeling next inning he is going to show us why.

I'm going to scream if someone says that this was the most frustrating game of the season. I think I've seen that same post in every loss over the last month.

Big deal. It's a baseball game. You going to slit your wrists? Get some perspective.

Felix is a very positive, optimistic poster. There's no reason to try to start stuff with him after he said his peace.

hey, they won it all last year so everything else is gravy

I'm getting so angry with people on here saying we're done. If we're done then why bother even posting or keeping up with the team? This is my 3rd season here on Soxtalk and it seems like this by far has the most whiners about how the Sox are playing. Sure they're suppose to be playing better, I'm not saying they are. But it's just hard for me to read all of the negative things about this team. After tonight we'll probably be a half game out to the Twins in the Wild Card. There's still plenty of baseball left. And even if they don't make the playoffs, they just won the World Series for everyone last year. Sure I'd love another playoff appearance or even another World Series title but come on, they snapped an 88 year drought.
