ANOTHER amazing managing decision by Gardenhire.

Pathetic! It's called a sac fly guys, think about it.

Avoid the DP Crede.

That was 100 pct intentional.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:55 PM) This fan forum is an extension of the ballparks where whitesox fans young & old can get together and hang. We are a part of the attendance that isnt counted....if I am at the game and I see some whitesox guy yelling out how much he hates some players and managers....well quite frankly i would hate to see the response. Personally I live in SD and every chance i get to catch the Sox on the westcoast i represent. I fight the other teams crowds not fellow soxfans! To be honest, I have a complete different mindset at the game compared to being on this site.

A rare gapper! It feels strange having a deep hit against the Twins not get caught. Come on AJ!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:53 PM) I got 100 bucks on a dp here. Careful, whitesoxmanager will criticize you.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:53 PM) I love the way Dye goes right back up the middle. Yep...especially against Brad Lidge.

Whew...I'll take it. Looked like a routine DP off the bat.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:52 PM) Has the "fake to third go to first" ever worked? I'm sure D. Jimenez has been picked off with that play. Sean Lowe says that it works.

Huge break...need to capitalize on it. Avoid the DP Dye.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:50 PM) Pods doing well is a double edged sword.. good right now. but BAD that he's gonna get more PT He's going to play no matter what, so we might as well root for him to do well.

This Jerry Owens guy looks good leading off.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:47 PM) & Im really getting sick of you posting the negative about our players....what mental error has he made to get you so sick? I never said the mental errors. I was referring to his poor ABs he's been having, especially in big at-bats. He's become pretty lazy at the plate and in this field.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:45 PM) You still think Gload is a better option at 1st fathom? Fathom's #1 rule for success is being violated with PK as DH...IMO You can't argue with PK's hitting results since he's been a DH though. I'm going to give Gload the benefit of the doubt....for now.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:43 PM) Look my only beef is that you always find the negative spin on damn near every situation. You even put a tag on yourself as Mr. Pessimism. WTF is that? PK comes up with 1 & 3 with one out and you immediately insinuate PKDP coming....it is just flat out tiring. Man I sit back and say to myself...kill em PK...lets get POSITIVE energy and CONFIDENCE back on our side. You can start to prove to yourself & the rest of us that you are positive by taking down that silly Mr. Pessimism bit about yourself. I bet if I were to walk about this country with Mr. Pessimism on my chest that I wouldnt get to many takers as friends..... I wasn't given the Mr. Pessimism moniker. I think it's stupid, especially as I've been one of the few people who haven't proclaimed our season is over yet. The reason I assumed PK would hit into a DP is because PK is slow as hell, and Silva is a sinker ball pitcher. Good post though...I appreciate the honest paragraph.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:41 PM) Lou Pinella for manager!!! And demote Ozzie to either Bench or 3B coach. I am sick of Cora. Bench or 3b coach? I don't want him anywhere close to a decision-making position with this team.

QUOTE(zenryan @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:41 PM) 3 months ago I dont think I would ever think to myself that Garland is the only pitcher I have confidence in now. Fixed QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:42 PM) fixed Dumb minds think alike.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:41 PM) Me too, and he's like my third-favorite Sox player. I agree, and I think in about 3 months, he'll be one of our favorite ex-Sox players.

Here we go again.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:37 PM) Its nice to see them actually stealing. What ever happend to those days? are they coming back? Eh it doesnt matter, timely hitting doesnt exist for the 2006 White Sox. We're only successful when a bad throwing catcher is behind home plate. Redmond can't throw, and that's why we're being more aggressive today. One of the reasons Pods was so good in the first half of last year was that if there was an average to mediocre catcher behind home, he'd steal every single time. QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:37 PM) Freddy for A-rod in the off season? Freddy for A fishing rod this offseason?

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) I'm not sure what this should mean. Giving up 1 run in the first 2 innings with a 4.88 ERA on the season is bad all the way around. Buehrle's only given up 1 run so far. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that he had allowed 5 runs already. I'm getting really sick of Juan Uribe.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:33 PM) Dear Mr. Pessimism- At least I try to talk strategy. BTW did Punto beat us last night? I would have prefered the lefty lefty match up. Look as long as our guys bust their asses and come ready to play everyday you really just need to find the good in the team and sit back and enjoy the games. I can see you getting frustrated with mental errors...but come on dude you just find the negative about everything and keep posting like a madman about it. Mr. Optimism. Talk strategy? You're the same person who blamed the White Sox losing Game 1 of the ALCS because the crowd wasn't loud enough last year (I'll never forget that one). I try to talk strategy more than 99 pct of the people on this board. You will rarely ever hear me say something without trying to support it with an observation or statistic. Also, I don't believe our guys our busting their asses right now. They've been going through the motions, and even Hawk can see that.

Stay hot AJP.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:29 PM) I'm glad Buehrle showed up ready to win today. He's gone 2 innings, 1 run so far. That's better than his season average. You sure do pick peculiar times to rant.
