QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 08:41 PM) I hope you aren't suggesting we have a good bullpen. Maybe we should just forfeit then. I mean if you are suggesting we cant pull our 7 run hurt pitcher because of fear of the pen, maybe we should just quit, and go home.

How many runs can Count give up before Ozzie gets a clue, stops whatever he is doing besides managing, and pulls the sidearm count.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 08:35 PM) You'd think it was Cy Young with the way they have been getting dominated. The Joe Mays formula for shutting down corpseball lead teams. Throw a fastball down low and away, repeat for until you get to 2 strikes. Then bounce something into the other batters box and let the magic happen. You know for as much as Walker and his cohorts talk about hitting the ball to all fields, every single year with different players we see the same exact approach. Thank God we locked up our coaching staff for years to come. We can get Joey waving everyone and their brother around 3rd, and we can start to see teams employ the shift on every hitter to shut us down. The only guys who are attempting to hit it the other way. Brian, Dye and Crede. Guys who are pretty much pull only AJ and Kong

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 08:31 PM) Its pretty funny that the White Sox approach gets ripped, but when the swing for the fences and it works its considered a great at bat. Its maddening when we have men in scoring position, where all we need is a single up the middle or a duck snort and we have 3 guys trying to hit the dan ryan, falling over and King or doing the corpseball crap. Pods is worthless. He is this years Timo.

So glad we have Mack in there for the "tough" I guess, righty. He is making a difference.

QUOTE(CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 08:29 PM) It was a gapper pure and simple sharply hit . Assuming BA starts in the same position as Mac theres no way he gets it. Sure because Anderson never has caught a liner in the gap. Never this year. Another thing, Anderson positions himself a hell of a lot better. And has natural instincts off the crack of the bat.

QUOTE(shoota @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) I'm guessing he's not healthy. I'm ready to DL him and put McCarthy in his starting spot. This team needs a healthy Contreras and Thome to win another title. Contereras's arm would literally need to fall off before Ozzie puts bmac in the rotation. Ozzie puts Cotts in based on last year, and he keeps Contreras in based on last year. He keeps peter pan in based on last year. On any other team, Cotts is in AAA, Contreras was on the DL about a month ago, and peter pan is a utility guy.

Now they are talking about how the sox are going for the dong only trying to get all the runs back on one swing. Now DJ is talking about how AJ is a better hitter when he sprays it.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 08:25 PM) Hey, the Yankees are beating the Twins almost this badly. yay! Another day of 1/2 game in front of the wild card. I wonder if the A's can catch us. But we are playing the worst team in the AL and they are playing the best. Technically this is when we should be putting some space between us.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 08:22 PM) Wow. This is pure dogs***. I am so f***in pissed that Kansas City continues to beat us around. Was that shot to centerfield catchable? Or did Mack just f*** it up as usual? We need to have our f***ing starters in every game from here on out. God dammit Ozzie. Cintron and Mackowiak should not be playing. Mack took his end around route to it. Anderson plays liners to the gap so well, I have to believe he would of been there.

PFB talks about confidence in the post game show, and now Hawk is talking about intesity. Do they get together before the game, and go over the homer report.

Slop time for Haeger.

Only an Ozzie lead team, is the pitcher in after getting raped.

We can put bmac in the rotation now Ozzie. The count has given up a s***load of runs in 4 starts in a row. Something is wrong.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) its haeger time!!! Take the prancer out of LF, and put Sweeney. He can actually catch the ball, hit the ball and throw the ball. He isnt super fast, but neither is the prancer.

Anderson would of had that one. Nice defense Ozzie.

Ozzie supposedly rested his players for the September run, so he could rest them some more. Meanwhile Cintron and Mack are going to get between 300-350 ABs as part time? players.

95 to 97 on the Count before the DL, he used to throw predominantly overhand, but would drop down from time to time. Now he is 91, and he is sidearm to every righty. How the f*** does this happen without an explanation.

Thank god ozzie decided to give up on defense. Who needs it. f***ing stupid.

The count is a submarine pitcher to righties. Another tinker job at its best.

AJ and Thome were notorious spray hitters who hit a lot of balls to left field. That is until they got to our team. Now its pretty much right field only. Check out AJs hitting chart at the cell, and look at the amount of putouts by the first baseman. He is the Paul Konerko of catchers in the 2nd half. I hate when our teams tinker with things that work. AJ hits great in the first half, then suddenly changes to become a power hitter. His average is crap in the 2nd half and the homers he does get are not enough to state the change. AJ hitting to all fields is worth a lot more than the 250 homer hitting catcher.

Low and Away to every single one of our hitters. Walker and the boys have a great plan tonight. You pitch like this against any other major league team, and they start to hit the ball back up the middle and to right. We keep pulling, and trying to elevate everything. Nice approach for the 7th best offense in scoring runs in the AL in the 2nd half.

This pitcher is a pile of dung, and we are making him look like Cy Young. Keep pulling the baseball guys. Odd we have had different players yet the same approach every year. Pull, Pull and Pull.

QUOTE(beautox @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 07:00 PM) But would it have the Latin passion? I can pack the array to kick out profanity every so often, and the occasional homophobic comment, and I could put variables that include every player and manager in baseball and have ozzie insult it randomly. That should pretty much make the simulation pretty accurate.
