September 17, 200619 yr Thomas responded to Guillen and his critics by single handedly defeating his former ballclub two straight games. How does our ballclub respond to a must-win series? Lose three straight. Any of which could have been in our favor.
September 17, 200619 yr In a sick way, it's great to see Ozzie get embarrassed by Frank Thomas like he did. Ozzie should have just STFU, and focused on screwing this team up on a day-to-day basis. Joe Crede and Jim Thome: thanks for showing up down the stretch this season.
September 17, 200619 yr Where will Ozzie be in manager of the year voting? It would be great if both Chicago managers won.
September 17, 200619 yr What a sorry showing. They will be lucky to get 90 wins. Damn shame too. Go Bears!
September 17, 200619 yr QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 11:52 PM) Elim # is 12, we both have 14 left. It could happen. 9-5 us, 6-8 them. Or 10-4 & 7-7. It's not likely, but I'll hold onto that yet. I know who they're playing, yes. But the last time they played KC they lost the series 1-2. But the Sox better get on a fishing run. Nevermind... We f***ing suck. 13 left, 4 back, f'n a.
September 17, 200619 yr doesn't the defending world champion automatically get in the playoffs?!!?!11!!?!!?!

Unlike Frank Thomas, who has been huge when it was most important, our hitters were not. I can give Crede some slack because he was big during the stretch last year. Jim Thome on the other hand is the best Spring Training hitter this club has. Forget the stats, the story is who can be CLUTCH.

September 17, 200619 yr BTW, I think Crede's back has really hurt his swing. He looks so stiff and mechanical at the plate again. As soon as we're eliminated, I hope we rest him, and then he gets the minor surgery to get better.

Just have to sweep Detroit. Not difficult. Oh, and of those three games Verlander and Bonderman are pitching. Aside from that bit of urgency, it would be helpful if we didn't lose one game the remainder of the year. Especially in Minnesota the last series of the year. GO SOX!!11 I BELIEVE!!!11 Edited September 17, 200619 yr by Flash Tizzle
September 17, 200619 yr R.I.P. 2006 Thanks for the nausea. I really wish I could cancel my trip to Minny for the last three.....
September 17, 200619 yr we pretty much have to run the table to get anywhere now seasons just about over, unless either the twins or tigers have a monumental collapse
September 17, 200619 yr QUOTE(RMEJICO @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 06:55 PM) He was right when discussing the Wild Card. 4 for the WC. 5 for the Division. AKA Doneso.
September 17, 200619 yr I will say, if the Sox want any glimmer of hope, Detroit cannot leave Chicago with more wins then they have now.
September 17, 200619 yr Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin' anywhere... Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train goin' anywhere... A singer in a smoky room, the smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on and on and on... Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlight people, living just to find emotion Hiding, somewhere in the night Working hard to get my fill, everybody wants a thrill Payin' anything to roll the dice, just one more time Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on Don't stop believin' Hold on to the feelin' Streetlight people Don't stop believin' Hold on to the feelin' Streetlight people Don't stop believin' Hold on to the feelin' Streetlight people
September 17, 200619 yr I don't care about the division anymore, I'm just looking at our closest competition. And this puts us 4 back in the wc, right?
September 17, 200619 yr BBTN is so scripted, and Steve Phillips lost a bet. Because he's still saying that the Sox will get the WC over the Twins.
September 17, 200619 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 05:49 PM) I do believe Frank stuck it right up Ozzie's giggy. He should have stuck it up Cora's too
September 17, 200619 yr This is the most aggravating, confusing and infuriating season any Chicago sports franchise has ever had. When I so much as think about this team, I get sick to my stomach.
September 17, 200619 yr Author --.300 2 HR, 7 RBI --.000, 0 HR, 1 RBI Which two players do this series numbers belong to? Hint -- one player has a base salary of $500,000, another 14million. Another hint --One player has practically carried his team in September, another can barely carry a bat across home plate.
