Come on guys! We still have a half game lead in the wild card. Detroit is not a very good team. They will fall because Kenny Rogers is a bad second half pitcher and Verlander has never pitched more than 130 innings. Our team just hasn't hit their stride yet. Wait till we do! Once we get a good outing from a starting pitcher the rest of them will feed off each other. Actually I think they might have just turned the corner. Jose only gave up 2 ER last night. That's a quality start. The bullpen should start improving soon too. Cotts probably has hit rock bottom so there's only 1 way to go from there, up. I also think the Pods will start to turn things around here soon. Once he starts getting on base he will wreak havoc with his speed and set the table for our other hitters. I am sure Greg Walker is working really closely with the hitters to make sure they get out of this funk where they pull all the time. Once he gets that straightened out watch out! Now I know Ozzie hasn't fielded the best defensive lineups out there this year but how can you question him? He won us a World Series last year for crying out loud! He knows what it will take this year to get another title. Offense is more important this year than defense. Let Ozzie be Ozzie. Grab the Rally Crede because we're winning it all again!!! Lets go Sox!!

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 10:23 PM) Yet Joe Crede has 2 crap at bats in his final two including the final pop out. You guys that want to blame Oz for our s***tiness baffle me. I would play Pods over the guys you want playing. Ozzie, you should be doing your postgame interviews, not posting on a message board.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 10:20 PM) Like what, Fathom? Crede pops up to end the game. If he hits a liner in the rc gap, we win the game. Like leaving Jose in too long? Jose is a starter on a big league team. He has to go more than 4 innings and errors contributed to Jose's s***tiness too. Playing Pods? Pods is the best we got in that option. Oz is playing the personnel KW gives him. Wow. What games are you watching? Pods is brutal, Mackowiak is not a CF, and Uribe needs to be out there for the stetch run. That's all Ozzie. He makes the lineup cards.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 10:19 PM) For a manager who preaches pitching and defense. Why in the name of god does Cintron and Mack start a game. Especially together.He doesn't even talk about defense anymore. I don't think he considers it important anymore.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 10:16 PM) As much as everyone loves to b****, whine, and complain about it being the offense and Ozzie's fault, it was once again our s***ty pitching with no help from the defense... Ozzie is to be blamed for the defense.

QUOTE(beautox @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 10:15 PM) I'm going to take the bright spot from this, Haeger and Logan, Montebello! Dye was also 3-4.

Who wants to listen to the PFB's comments about moral victories and the nice comeback?

yay

Sweeney on deck.

Basehit might tie it with Pablo on 2nd.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 10:07 PM) one more ball How about 9 more

Please Pablo at 1st!!!!

Please base hit...no walks! A walk = GIDP

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 10:01 PM) Now its time for the Royals to bring in the ball boy. His name is Timmy and he is 15, but he is left handed and learned how to bounce a slider in the dirt. Thome doesnt have a chance. LMAO That's gold

QUOTE(Drew @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) In that replay, Peter Pan looked like he was slowing down as he was approaching first. I wouldn't put it past him. It seemed that way to me also.

JD can help solidify his MVP chances here.

Our zero tool left fielder ladies and gentlemen.

Nice bunt attempt. Most pitchers in the NL can do better than that.

Haeger's fastball about as fast as Freddy's.

Haeger making a case to replace one of our floundering starters.

It has to be Alex. Pods on deck. The slowest looking swing I've ever seen.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 09:46 PM) Kinda funny that everyone who has gone up there with a good plan this inning has reached, and the two guys who were trying to hit homers made outs. We can all see this but the coaching staff is bewildered.

Now Hawk is standing in a well.

Well that sucked.

That's the AJ I miss!
