QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 07:16 PM) If the Sox blow the Division and playoff spot this year, I not only blame the offense, the defense and the bullpen, but I also blame Jeff Cox and especially Ozzie Guillen. His incompetence as a manager becomes more magnified every year, and down the stretch this year he has been a joke. It's almost as if he wants this team to lose. The only thing you didn't blame was the starting pitching. So tell me how Ozzie managing like a genious is going to compensate for a bad offense, defense, coaching and bullpen ?

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 04:50 PM) Nice try, Gavin. You could of given up only 1 run and probably wouldn't of mattered. could have .... wouldn't have

Ok lets get go offense. Is a 2 game winning streak against the Royals asking too much ?

A win like this looks so good. Dotel and Linebrink pitched well . Swish looked good and so did Wise. If the injury to Quentin a has bright side its that Ozzie hopefully has learned that using Wise and Anderson for pinch hitting duties wouldn't be such a bad thing as the season winds down and the post season beckons.

Sox beat Royals ending their 7 game winning streak. Dwayne Wise hits 2 HR's , Alexei Ramirez hit his 3rd Grand Slam of the season making it only the 2nd time in baseball history a rookie has done that. Jim Thome hit the 540th of his career. The Twinkies lose 11-1 to Tampa Bay so the Sox now lead the division by 2.5 games with an 85-68 record. Magic # 7. Mark Buehrle pitched 6 innings giving up 3 runs on 6 hits , K's 2 , 1 BB . He improved to 3-1 lifetime when pitching on short rest. Buehrle is now the only active pitcher to record 10 wins, 30 starts and 200 innings in eight consecutive seasons.

7 is the lucky number for the night . Ending the Royals 7 game winning streak while reducing our magic number to 7. Plus D. Wise number (31) - Alexei Ramirez number(10) = 21 divided by 7 =3 which is the combined number of HR's Wise and Ramirez combined to hit today.

OK Linebrink show me something . Getting you back on track would be sooooo helpful.

WOW Wise goes oppo 2 dingers !!

Javy going to have to just show the fastball against lefties then use the changeup.

Thats why Yanks prefer not to see lefties.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 03:31 PM) Even though Alexei might be losing the Rookie of the Year as we speak, I'll take it. Thanks for bailing out C-Pena Evan Longoria!!! Looks like Perkins might be shaken up a little bit. I'd gladly take Longoria winning ROY if he can hurt the Twins real bad.

One thing we know for sure is Alexei won't walk with the bases loaded.

Way to hustle with the bum knee Paulie

2 pitches up in a row by Mussina. Paulie couldn't do anything with them.

Paulie do some damage.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 07:50 AM) That wasn't the worst, lol...I bought JDS Uniphase at the height of dot.com bubble at around 110 per share...it went up to around 140 when it was added to the S&P 500 Index, and then I rode it all the way down to $2.96 per share. Actually, I don't mind writing it off as a loss...although I will hold onto AIG and maybe something positive will come of it. Maybe Warren Buffett will swoop in and that might help my Berkshire-Hathaway....actually, I think MSDW and Goldman Sachs and many regional banks are getting shorted simply because they are banks, and things will slowly correct over time, although I certainly have little hope for my AIG investment. Thankfully, I don't have more than 100 shares...imagine being a lifetime AIG worker and having your entire retirement tied into that stock and seeing your future eviscerated in a little less than 2 weeks?? I don't think anyone really was out on the forefront and accurately forecasted what was coming with AIG and now the other two Wall Street investment banks. Try Wells Fargo, by far the most stable bank out there.

He is the man.

Moose gives us fits but always hoping for the best.

Greg Hibbard your post was absolutely brilliant.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Sep 17, 2008 -> 08:53 PM) Where is Adam Russell? I mean if we're doing late year tryouts for RH relief lets get him an extended look. Scoreless outings against TB and BOS amidst some clunkers recently. Has a K-rate, if nothing else. Maybe he's become the Brian Anderson of the pitching staff.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 6, 2008 -> 03:49 PM) I have a $50 bet going with my Cub fan friend (who's usually pretty intelligent on baseball and the Sox) that the Sox will finish better than the Royals this year. Have you collected your money yet ?
