QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:59 PM) Yes Rickey's name was thrown in there for dramatic effect to show how desperate we are. Dont worry Ozzie will probably think the reason that we didnt hit well tonight is we didnt get enough TIMO. When Timo was our DH last week and we were barely getting hits against the mighty yankees mash unit pitching staff, that was a warning sign. And people wonder why ESPN and other media outlets dont believe in this team. When they look at the boxscore and see 217BA DH TIMO PEREZ NUMBER 7.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:55 PM) man, people need to lay off of walker for our guys not hitting oppo, our # 1 and 2 guys do it probably more than anyone in the league. konerko is a power hitter, and never has gone oppo. carl does on occasion, usually from the leftside tho....AJ does it, tho not as much. but the fact is that compared to other teams, we do it alot more. there are teams out there who id say rarely ever go oppo. Because pulling only is a great way to hit for a high average and not constantly ground out to the left side. But if you think that this approach is working, then by all means keep the kool aid a flowing.

10Ks When crappy pitchers get 6 or more Ks on us night in and night out. What did you think this guy would do.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:52 PM) check that......it took them teh last 2 weeks They hit oppo a bunch of times in the Orioles series. The last time we hit the ball well. Then of course Greg corrected that.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:50 PM) Did you see that? Aaron's Amigos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They still believe. They are drunk.

We get our 2nd hit. How pathetic is this. IT TOOK THEM 7 f***ING INNINGS TO REALIZE THAT YOU NEED TO GO OPPO TO GET ON WITH CHANGEUP PITCHERS.

Yeah we get our first hit tonight in the 7th inning. I predicted we would have 4 hits.

ITS TIME FOR A CLOSE DOORED MEETING KW AND OZZIE NEED TO BEAT THIS TEAM. I THOUGHT THE PURPOSE OF GETTING RID OF CARLOS LEE AND ALL THIS IS SPEED NEVER EVER EVER SLUMPS AND THAT OZZIEBALL WOULDNT HAVE THE OLE 15 RUNS ONE NIGHT AND 1 FOR THE NEXT 4. THIS IS THE SAME f***ING TEAM WITHOUT CARLOS LEE WHO WAS A POWER HITTER(A MEATHEAD AND ALL) BUT A 300 HITTER. AND NO MAGGS, WHO IS ALSO A 300 HITTER WTH POWER. NOW WE ARE A 250 HITTING TEAM WHO HITS THE OCCASIONAL SOLO DONG.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:17 PM) The Sox have been down by 5 runs in each of the last 2 games, and by 4 runs in each of the last 5 games. Well post allstar break the Twins have been hitting 232 as a team. But against the best pitching staff they come alive.

QUOTE(tony72 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:13 PM) I almost hope the lead goes down ...so Kenny and Jerry realize that this team needs help and snaps out of their complacency... Dont worry it will be about 6 to 9 games by next week. And I still remember KW at soxfest after he was explaining why he didnt go and spend money on Clement and others. We will use that money in June/July to GO FOR IT. It flexibility to go for the brass ring. 1917 was a long time ago and I want to win. THATS BULLs***. JR gets money in his pocket for all of these sellouts, Geoff Blum is cheap, and the playoffs will get more money.

4-0 and Ozzie Manuel has no clue.

Well lets just put it this way, if we blow this lead. They better not have Soxfest this year or it will be a f***ing riot.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:07 PM) The Twins put the s***tiest line-up I have seen in the majors this year together and will win. And remember they have been one of the worsts offenses in the second half. They could barely scratch runs together a week ago. The cure for that is our starters.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 07:04 PM) Wow, Rowand looked like s*** up there. I would like to say Greg you have done wonders with this team. You have everyone below their career average all at the same time in hitting. It must be that Charlie Lau hitting style that he says he preaches.

This will be over quick at least. Not like the slow death last night. In the post game. Ozzie will blow his load all over himself praising his hitters and their attempts at hitting the venezuelan god of pitching.

Here comes a series of teases for your pleasure. Classic Corpseball is also a series of warning track power. ALMOST enough to get on the board. But alas not enough.

AUGUST 2005=THE ARRIVAL OF CORPSEBALL 2005 Thank god we have this lead. The only thing that may save us this year in still winning the division.

Well its now 2-0. Now the softball team will try and tie it every single time they get up. Here comes the flood of Ks and popups and lazy grounders to the left side.

I had a pregame prediction of 4 hits and 9 Ks and no runs for Santana. He looks to break double digits with the guys tonight. Changeup pitchers against a pull only softball home run hitting team. We may not get to 4 hits.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 06:45 PM) Don't shoot me or anything, but just possibly, maybe we aren't as good as we thought we were. I still think this is a very good team, but how will we match up against the Red Sox, or the Yankees if they get in? We were as good as our pitching shutting down teams. Boston is a bad matchup. They are a high OBP good hitting team. They work the count(like the As) and are difficult to K. Everyone just comments our pitching will shut them down. I dont see it. So we have to outslug them. The Yanks wont be in the playoffs.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 06:44 PM) Sounds to me like the White Sox circa 2000-2004. Are the White Sox really that much of different team with out Podsednik? This has nothing to do with pods. Ozuna did what Pods usually does. He got to second. It was the popup and K with men in RISP that killed us. We havent been the same team since Thomas went out of the lineup.

The score kept playing over and over Hawks retarded rant last night about how we dont need Griffey and where would he play. The best dumb comment from Hawk was when he stated, Ken Griffey Jr was one of the best hitters for 8 years. But that was a long time ago.

The only good fact that DJ had in the first, is Johan is a guy you try to hit his fastball to right and right center, and if he does surprise you with a change you pull it still fair. However this is the corpseball kids and they pull every freakin thing. They cant help it. So tonight you will be treated to a series of popups, ground outs to the left side, and Ks.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 06:39 PM) one run enough for Santana? Against the corpseball kids, 1 run definately is enough.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 06:38 PM) Dye is going yard here!! If Yard you mean a popup. Then the entire team is going to go yard.
