QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 08:38 PM) we got 3 hits in nine innings. can we suck it up, start over and win this game?? Somebody be a leader and whack a leadoff shot down the line or draw a walk!!! They have been trying to hit solo shots for the entire game. Thats the problem Just string a few hits together. Maybe a single, a bunt and another single.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 08:33 PM) Standing O for Marte.... We're going to need that pitcher down the stretch if we have any playoff aspirations at all. We need a few of the so called hitters putting some ABs together to scratch a run across.

Marte faces two hitters and is now gone. The only one that thinks Marte is a LOOGY is Ozzie.

Take everett out and put in borchard. Take Paulie out and put in Gload. Take I can steal out and put in Anderson. I bet the B team would actually take a better swing that these corpseball fence swinging tards

COME ON CORPSEBALL KIDS. CAN YOU f***ING GET A SINGLE RUN. I WAS AT THAT 16 INNING AFFAIR WHEN YOU BLEW DOG AGAINST GUERRIER. SHORT QUICK LINE DRIVE SWINGS. NOT THE I AM GOING FOR THE FENCE LONG BALL CORPSEBALL SWINGS THAT WILL HAVE US 1-2-3

What this offense would look like with Carlos Lee instead of Pods.

Maybe at some point this organization can find line drive type hitters instead of our guys who seem to love to dip that shoulder and try to golf it over the fence.

corpseball returns. Notice when we stop facing the royals bad pitching staff we stop hitting.

2 pitches one out. Nice line drive swings here tonight.

It might be nice if our hitters would take a pitch and make this kid work. Arow, Uribe and others are swinging at the first pitch. There was an inning earlier where it was 2 pitches and 2 outs.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 03:48 PM) But Bruce Levine said he would never pitch for the White Sox again. Bruuce Levine is as accurate as.....

ITS TIME TO GET ANGRY, TO GET MEAN, AND TO KICK SOME ASS.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 03:40 PM) I was really hoping for Borchard tonight. And no, I'm not joking. Borchard has faced Baker a bunch of times in AAA. He should know what he throws.

Marte supposedly in uniform and in Minnesota. According to George Offerman

According to George Offerman, Marte is in Miny and in uniform. So much for he is never ever going to pitch for the whitesox again. f*** YOU BRUUUCE LEVINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) That's why you play the games...every single game is different. Santana vs El Duque. LOL You dont need to throw darts at the dartboard to figure out who is going to win this.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) If the team misses the playoffs, here would be my plans after the season and I am not joking. Some might refer to this as the Cleveland model for rebuilding. Trade Jose Contreras and Orlando Hernandez for prospects Let Paul Konerko, Frank Thomas and Carl Everett go via free agency Trade Damaso Marte or release him Resign Jon Garland to a long term deal Resign AJ Pierzynski Trade Jermaine Dye for prospects, put Brian Anderson full-time in RF Find a decent third baseman I like it. Play Rogo next year also. Next year get a look at Rogo or Owens in LF.

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 11:53 AM) Was thinking that since Minnesota is a rather weak offensive team, we should pitch McCarthy on Sunday and push our best starter, Jose Contreras, to Monday vs. Tribe. McCarthy gives us the flexibility to do this and should be taken advantage. This is a great idea, however would be thinking outside of the box for Ozzie. McCarthy and Conteras are guys I feel confident to pitch against good teams.

Maybe we can stop Joey from full contracting Wendell Kim disease. Joey Cora's Idol Here is a list of guys that should never be sent from second unless the ball is in the gaps or over the fence. The I have a piano on my back club. AJ Pauly Crede Everett

I have been trying to focus my energy in other places. I use this forum to vent my frustrations and dont let it affect my personal life. I have been going to the gym more and trying to focus on that. I did an 40 minutes on the treadmill last night, and it seemed like 5 minutes. Remember the wisdom of Star Wars, Darth Vader "Hate and anger can make you all powerful" LOL

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 08:35 AM) You've come around on Uribe there Irish? I think that change should have been made quite a while ago, but we can't really say the offense was as much of a problem as earlier in the season too. It's the pitching, hands down. After Hrniak worked with Uribe and got his new trigger working, I am at lot happier with Uribe. I liked Hrniak's approach when he was our hitting coach, and a lot of people hated him because he was more of a line drive guy and didnt help the power game too much. Gooch can give us consistancy in the 3 hole, and I think that with the way Pods is no longer stealing bases it doesnt matter having a guy behind him that can take pitches. I agree with you about the pitching. I made a comment a month ago, that if our hitting would keep us from advancing in the playoffs and that I didnt think our pitching would falter. Now I may have to revise that statement. Ozzie needs to play his best players. Our pitchers need to pitch aggressively. And Bmac needs to be in this rotation. I still think the 6 man rotation would help the most as it would give an extra day of rest to an already tired pitching staff.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 08:09 AM) Mark Buehrle is slowing his arm motion on his change up. It has nothing to do with not being an Ace or being tired. When you know what is coming, the odds are much better that you are going to hit it. He needs to go back to the tape he watch of Santana and figure out what he was doing to tip off that pitch. You mean to tell me with all the scouts we have, video tape review, and the fact that we have a few coaches and a catcher watching all this, they cannot see this and remedy it. If you are tipping this much it should be easy to see then for our staff.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 08:01 AM) He's probably the only guy on this team with the tools to be a #2 hitter. It's just sad that the people below him are not getting it done lately. I know he's much more than a #2 hitter, but will we ever see him bat 3rd, 4th or 5th on the White Sox? I'm leaning towards no. Having a prototypical number 2 hitter doesnt matter any more. We are playing station to station baseball. Pods gets thrown out trying to steal, there is no hit and runs, no bunts. So you could literally put anyone in the 2 hole now. I would put Uribe in the 2 hole, Gooch in the 3, Kong in the 4 hole and Everett in the 5. That would score some runs.

PLAY THE f***ING STARTERS OZZIE, PLAY THEM 4 AND 5 GAMES AT A CLIP. WE NEED TO WIN THIS AND YOU ARE RESTING GUYS WHO HIT GOOD The team needs to get some ...

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 06:59 AM) Sun-Times had a headline and called him Taguchi. What a crappy paper. Anyone think he could be unhappy enough with this situation of constant unnecessary rest, giving up at-bats (while lesser hitters swing for the fences) and generally poor use of his abilities that he may think of staying in Japan. We didn't really trip over ourslves to bring him in and he is the biggest (and only) clutch hitter on this team. Think he could pull a Hasegawa? If so we always have Willie. Not to mention the release of Shingo wasn't handled to well if in fact there was no room made for him with the Knights. I am not even looking at the current state of affairs in the pennant race when I say this. Although he was the only really offensive force in both games, he broke the ice against JP Howell. Stop f***ing resting your horses Ozzie. What are you going to rest them for, the offseason. We need to play our best guys and f***ing win. Gooch needs to play every single day until we clinch. End of f***ing story.
