Ozzie Montana

All I have to say is GO SOX!!!

Let's start off the month on the right foot. Turn it around at home guys.

Hit it right on the nail. I was disappointed that the only hitter we could get was Blum. Blum is a bandage for this lineup but not a starter. He did not do anything during the deadlines to improve our chances at at the World Series. I understand there was not much in the market but he should have gone all out this year because this is our chance. So I repeat Blum is just a bandage for the defense. This is not a bad article to me and everything he said is legit.

Good news for me is that I got Michael Young on my fantasy roster but I would rather take an 0 for with a White Sox Winner. I guess all I can say is get them tomarrow.

Let's pray we turn it around at home.

The thing I do right now to relax is remember when Hawk said Jay Mariotti and this other guy from Texas are quote "Hinnie Birds". Pretty funny stuff.

props Brandon props.

It seems that most of the time when we got the pitching we got absolutely no offense and when we got the offense we got no defense or pitching. Im gunna be biting my nails off the last 3 weeks of the season when we got Cleveland for 6 games.

Its just a shame today that we score a run in the top half of the inning and then El Duque gets tagged for five runs.

My only question is the status of Neal Cotts. He pitched well in his two innings of work in the first game but it seemed like his back was hurting him and then AJ had to go to the mound and they took him out. Does anyone here know if he's okay and the severity of the problem?

Just keep it they way it is with B Mac making a few spot starts but thats it.

All I got to say is :puke . Anyway, I don't pay attention to these type of articles unless they are logical or funny.

The offense has been playing better and Dye and Rowand have been especially hot.. If we could keep these two hot through September I smell good things for this offense. The only thing was that we got 10 errors in 3 games and they cost us two games but I dont worry too much about that. That isnt like our guys and I'm sure they'll turn it around.

Hey did you guys know Ozzie decided on the 4 man rotation for the first round? Bryan Dolgin just said that.

I can see that I am the first to go against it here in this post. Well, my main reason is that they will be more rested but they will not be sharp as they were and it will be harder for them to adjust to the 3 man rotation that is usually used in the playoffs, especailly for the first round. I can see your guys points though and I made mine.

I used to make fun of the Ozzie/Timo stuff, but all it took was one person to say stop it, and I did. It's not a hard concept. Since a lot of people hate the negative posts that people like myself, Milkman, and SSI make, how about just a running thread for pessimist/negative posts so that we don't upset other posters that don't want to deal with it? I think saying whats on your mind is a good thing and I think you have always been a good poster fathom. Doesn't matter if your posts are pessimistic or optomistic, you always have something insightful to say. And I don't agree with the people that say you are not a true die hard fan when you say somethin negative about the team. Keep posting. QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 02:37 PM) One thing I always respected about this site was that it was soxTALK.com, and not soxCHEERLEADING.com.

Looks like order will be restored on SoxTalk. Thanks for stepping up mods and adm's.

per THESCORE, Crede will be put on the DL tomarrow and Willie Harris will be called up and also B Mac will start September 5's game. Crede will be able to return 10 days later after tomarrow.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) Ozzie wants 3 catchers, and I bet we carry 12 pitchers, but thats a guess. How's Burke doing in the minors? Would Ozzie want him up? We all know how versatile he is.

As of right now Crede is off the DL. Just to let everyone know. So Anderson is not part of the 25 roster as of right now but things can change.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) By the way, even though I'm not a fan of any of those players, it's nice to see a Mexican League Soccer sig and avatar...

So we know now that Adkins was sent down. Not a suprise seeing that he was just not effective and hit pretty bad. Thanks for confirmation. All the luck to Baj and props to making the roster. Glad Pods is officially back.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 01:51 PM) Just an aside note: Bruce Levine has to be the tannest white guy that I've seen in quite awhile.

Omit Timo. Hilarious. Hope Pods is back to his old form of April and May.
