QUOTE(Reddy @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:26 PM) and it shouldnt be our GM, this collapse isnt kenny's fault, we all know it's ozzie and his idiocy... but who will take the fall? who knows Geoff Blum????????

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:23 PM) He just needs to go this offseason. I appreciate his hustle, but he's just not a good overall player. His swing is so long and looping right now he cannot catch up to the fastball. All you have to do on Carl is go up the ladder on him and he will K. The only pitch he can get to is the breaking pitch down and in.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 18, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) no no 2 awful calls. god hates us right now. God didnt cause Konerko to foul off those pitches down the cock. God didnt cause Everett to get under the ball. One bad call(balk) and two stupid half swings by Paulie on a 3-1 slider in the dirt, and then on a 3-2 slider in the dirt. STOP SUCKING SOX OFFENSE>

Baseball tonight had Jeff "I have a gay mullet" Brantley making a bold prediction, the Indians will win the division.

All media outlets are doing a choke watch now. ESPN, Foxsports, etc. So f***ing sad.

f*** YOU OZZIE you have got to be kidding me. If he starts next, I dont know what the f*** I am going to do. This is insane.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:49 PM) If you know so much about baseball, then why aren't you managing? I forgot Our offense is fine. LOL.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:40 PM) What does it say when Uribe can't hit sour apples, goes to Hriniak for a couple of days, and the next thing you know, he's the most dangerous hitter in the line-up? I think it means you need a better hitting coach. I was told many times that the hitting coach doesnt matter at all. However the Indians who couldnt hit the side of the wall fired Eddy Murray. They then started hitting.

The Corpseball 2005 Award for Futility goes to a coach who gets the least of of his talent.

They are going to love this. Here we go with nightly coverage of the white sox choke.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:15 PM) It's not choking to lose a game to Santana. It is choking to lose 2 of 3 in K.C., or to be swept at home by the Angels. It would be choking to lose 2 of 3 in Minnesota when you need wins. Losing a game to Santana is not a problem. Striking out like crazy because you refuse to change your approach. Bases loaded no outs, and no one puts the ball in play. COME ON!!!!!

QUOTE(rangercal @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) and if that last foul ball were a grand slam, half this board (probably you too) would be having an orgasm over him right now. :rolly If my aunt had balls she would be my uncle.

Farmer just said "If the white sox are going to go to the playoffs they will have to earn it" Well the announcers have given up.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:04 PM) Might as well put our lead 1/2 game less than it is now, cause we won't beat Santana next time we face him. Until we get some hitters who dont have long looping swings we will never ever ever beat santana.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) That inning just kind of highlights in big bold letters how we have been playing lately. WE SUCK! Bases loaded and nobody out and then 3 straight K's and we lose. Some real pathetic at bats today. Dye with a hat trick 4 k's in 4 at bats. Crede 3 k's in 3 at bats and Rowand 3 k's in 4. If they closed their eyes and just blindly swung at the ball they have a better chance at hitting the ball. No f***ing chance.

VINTAGE CORPSEBALL, BASES LOADED NO OUTS, AND WE STRIKE OUT A BUNCH OF TIMES, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE f***ING KIDDING ME Almost homer and he K's. This team is heartless.

Bases loaded no outs Here comes the almost rally.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 12:31 PM) Juan Uribe now has 15 extra base hits in September. That's the most extra-base hits in a month by a Sox hitter this season. There are still 13 games left to be played in Sept. Thanks Walt Hrniak and his leg kick hitting trigger.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) Is there anything you don't turn around and try to put a positive spin on?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 12:25 PM) Lots of people are lost against Johan. At least he got our rally going last night. Oddly not everyone gets almost no hit everytime they face him.

2 f***ING HITS, BOOOOYAAAAHHHHH WOOT OUR OFFENSE ROCKS

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) Cmon KC. YOu have to beat Cleveland just once this weekend. Cleveland got the memo, KC is the worst team in baseball. They will sweep them. We however have our number one and number 2 pitches s*** the bed, and our closer give up a bunch of hits. We scored a bunch of runs against the worst pitching staff in baseball and some people on here thought our offense was fixed. Run the Charlotte Knights out there and they will put up a 5-9 spot against the Royals.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) Hat eto say it, but we actually didn't lose that much power in the offseason. We lost Ordonez, but replaced him with Dye, who has put up nearly Identical power numbers. We lost Lee, but replaced him by adding Iguchi and replacing Davis with Pierzynski. We lost Valentin, but replaced him with Uribe. We have a Carl Everett who was actually in shape to start the season...and we added in about 10 dingers from Frank. Seriously...the biggest difference between our power numbers this year and our power numbers last year is people not putting up the numbers they did last year - ARow, Crede, Uribe...all of them are down in power #'s from last year. We were going to lose a few home runs...but by putting Dye in RF and putting AJ behind the plate, we were going to make up the majority of it. We took two 300+ hitters and replaced them with guys who hit 30 points less as their career average.

The funny s*** about this season is that for the last few years we have had plenty of offense but no pitching. You take this years pitching staff and you put it on last years or the 2003 team, and we win over 100 games. But now we have great pitching outside of a few, and no f***ing offense. We get 4 hit or worse than any other team. Our offense is ranked at the bottom of the AL in OBP, singles, doubles, triples, etc. But oddly we will still break 200 homers. Even with losing all that power from last year.

The indians didnt start Timo Perez for all of August. In fact the only team outside of an Ozzieball team that he would play for is the Royals. What team would have Everett as their 3 hole hitter outside of us. Remember all the talk about having a few automatic outs at the end of the lineup was okay because they can throw some leather.
