southsideirish71 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) To the Offense: Hit the f***ing ball, score some runs, dont do dumb things on the basepaths, when a pitcher is wild and is walking people dont swing at the first pitch. If a pitcher is constantly throwing you low and away, please hit that ball the other way. Pulling it results in a 3 to 4 hit shut out, and a quick and lifeless game. To the Pitching: For the love of god, if you have a fastball please throw it, stop with the lob league crap. Keep the ball down, and try to pitch ahead. To the defense: If its hit to you, catch it. If you cant throw the guy out at third or home, please hit the cutoff man so we can keep the man on first. So one run doesnt turn into 4. To Joey Cora: Please take note of who is running and who is getting the ball out in the field and where they are getting the ball before doing your wendell kim impersonation. To Ozzie: You can in fact pull the pitcher and rely on your bullpen. And Cotts is not the Cotts of 2005, so he should not be option A out of the pen. Just win!!!!!!

GreatScott82 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Show up offense. Show up Freddy. Show up Ozzie and staff, Step up defense. Step up Pods, step up Thome. Step up White Sox your better than this. Most of us fans still believe. The question is, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock4Life Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Does this game fit the characteristics of a must win game? i think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Even though we need the win and I'm not one for moral victories, I'd be satisfied with a good effort and a strong showing from the offense and the pitching staff...a game that shows me they aren't dead yet. Give me something to cheer about...anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having trouble remembering the last game that wasn't a must-win game, IMO. The problem is we keep losing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I really don't feel very good about this game, and I desperately want Freddy to prove me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beck72 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I think the Sox will break out of their "slump" [facing Santana, Verlander--who threw a lot better than he had previously vs. the Sox--and Rogers will make a lot of hitters look flat and lifeless]. Minor has been off and on, and throws a lot of pitches--barely able to reach the 6th in under 100 pitches. If Freddy can keep the Tigers under 4 runs and go 7 innings, the sox should be able to get the lead to Big Bobby in the 9th. Let's see Bobby throw with a lead in the 9th tonight!

He's just as likely to stink up the place. If he doesn't get up for this game then he doesn't have a heartbeat. I hope the Sox win convincingly, but I'm not expecting victory. This team is in a HUGE funk right now. I do trust that Garland will stop the bleeding tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I don't have a lot of confidence in Freddie Garcia but if he gives up 5 runs as usual and we score 6 what else matters? I'll be watching on ESPN tonight. See you on the television Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have trouble with changeups, not curve balls. QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 03:35 PM) Are you mad at me or at the lineup? I'm asking because I care The lineup Iguchi is hitting .233 this season against lefties and .333 against righties. Cintron hits .286 against lefties and .276 against righties. So naturally, Iguchi plays against the lefty yesterday and Cintron plays against the righty today. (Cintron's #s probably have a bit of a sample size effect, but Iguchi..that's a year-long trend.) And then of course, Rob Mackowiak in CF. I literally want to hurt Mr. Mackowiak, just so Ozzie can no longer put him in Center.

Chisox_fan Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Just out of curiousity, does anyone know the last game our normal line-up (Pods, Gooch, Thome, Konerko, Dye, AJ, Crede, Uribe, Anderson) player? I can't remember the last game that was sub-free. Also, anyone know our record with this lineup as opposed to the sub-one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 This is the probably last Sox game I'll get to watch for a while, so.... LET'S! GO! WHITE SOX! clap, clap clap, clap, clap LET'S! GO! WHITE SOX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
