QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:48 PM) BA gave it a ride. You would think that we would have the upper hand in a longer game as far as bullpens go at this point, but I don't feel safe going too long. Everyone wants to be the walk-off hero. Walk off single and walk off homer both count for 1 win, guys. We started swinging for the fences the minute Johan threw the first pitch. Why would we stop now.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:46 PM) Juan's going for the walkoff.... He swings at a pitch level with his neck and pops it up. Nice approach.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:45 PM) Pathetic 3-1 swing. DONT NEED A HOMER Profundo Uribe says you are wrong. he is swinging for the Dan Ryan. He wants to be on sportscenter.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:37 PM) How are all these people still in this thread? Several of you just proclaimed the game and the season over not 10 minutes ago. Control yourself. I know you just put down the pom poms after being thrilled that your wish was granted, but rubbing peoples noses in it over is getting you plenty of good feel here. We all wanted the home run and we all want the sox to win every game. But sitting here and saying that they are going to crush Johan or Nathan because you had a dream, a feeling, or saw signs in your soup is a bit much.

Bobby for the 10th Thorton for the 11th and 12th. Then Mac in the 13th and 14th. Then Riske Then Pablo before Cotts.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:31 PM) I'm really not sure how people really put that much stock in Boof Bonser, Carlos Silva and a 1-armed Brad Radke. I just don't get it. August team ERA Minny with 1 armed Radke, boof bonser and silva 3.71 Sox with full healthy starters 4.27

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:30 PM) This was just before they came to Chicago and almost swept us, when they were on their hottest tear of the season. Is my point hitting home quite yet? Can you explain the anomaly in your logic that is KC against us. They just came in here, and split a series with us.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:29 PM) I don't expect them to win tonight I don't expect them to win tomorrow This does not affect my perception of their playoff chances I do not believe that Boof Bonser, Carlos Silva and a 1-armed Brad Radke are noticably more effective than any of our three starters over the long haul. Sorry. Check the twins team ERA and then take a glance at ours.

Is there lead weights on his legs. How does the fast guy, get thrown out on that play by 3 steps.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) Sox fans, of all people, should know that @Tampa Bay is about a country mile more difficult than vs. Tampa Bay. And KC is the worst road team in baseball, and Runnynose Hernadez is a bum, and they started a guy who is back on the DL.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) it just doesn't make any sense whatsoever to make generalized, idiotic presumptions with over 30 games left in the regular season it is absolutely irrational, there is just no other way to put it baseball is an extremely streaky game, and 30 games is well more than enough for fortunes of an entire division to change ask the tigers how they're feeling about their playoff chances after going 5 for their last 18 You know whats irrational. Watching our pitching over the first 3/4s of a season and then stating remarks like this. I would say that the Tigers feel better about their playoff chances than the 3rd place whitesox. What besides your gut feel and whitesox hat tells you that the crappy pitching over the first 3/4 of a season is an illusion, and our team is just going to flip a switch and poof they will make it. I base my feelings on watching the whitesox over the course of a lifetime, not just reviewing the Comcast WS video from last year. Just because Freddy Garcia stood on the mound in last years game in a 1-0 win, doesnt mean that 88 mph Freddy is the same guy. Contreras is a shadow of last years guy. Politte is gone, Hermy is not here. Eject the DVD and move back into reality with the rest of us. If they win great, however to expect them to win against a guy who has owned them like no other closer has owned them is wishful thinking at best. It defies logic.

The run scores on Uribe's kick. Thanks for nothing Taz.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) Nice shot of Pods there looking totally unprepared for the pitch. Hawk talking about him standing right on the track. With a weak hitting lefty up.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:12 PM) Quitting in the eighth inning of a game in August is honestly beyond belief, even for the Chicken Little fans that populate this website. Thanks for letting us know how to be a fan. Maybe you can hand out literature at soxfest and get a booth on sox fan dos and donts. You can just cross off the cubs logo on the literature they use, and then write in sox.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:10 PM) this attitude is so disgusting and embarrassing. Dont you have a post game show to get ready for.

Swung for the fences, actually fell over and K'd. I thought we traded Carlos Lee. All our team needs is a single, yet another one of our guys swinging for the fences Ks with men on. f*** this.

None of these are protect swings. He is going for the parking lot here. With 2 strikes.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) AJP will be swinging for the fences, when a nice liner will do. Thats our team motto. Swing for the fences, Good deep or go home.

A line drive would be nice, but that goes against our offensive strategy. Pull, Lift presto.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:00 PM) Neshek has given up 3 runs this year, all solo homers from lefties. He doesnt have to give up a run, just fork over the runs that are already on base. I am not greedy. Wait yes I am.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:57 PM) Why in the world do you pinch hit Cintron for Mack?

So we decide to put a guy who has no patience up at the plate. Uribe part II. Nice I bet he swings at the first pitch.

Send Mack up there. Reyes cant throw a strike. Make him take until a strike is thrown.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:52 PM) When Hawk said Uribe is on deck, I just shook my head.... I have visions of last year when KRod walked a few got the bases loaded, then Uribe swung at a pitch over his head pulled it just foul, then Kd on one bounced in the other batters box.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) CF defense really comes into play now. IF ROB MACKOWIAK EVER PLAYS CF AGAIN, OZZIE AND KW SHOULD BE FIRED AND SENT TO THE MENTAL WARD IMMEDIATELY.
