QUOTE (ChiSox35 @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 12:09 AM) Laughable. I'm all for Alexei's success and believe he will be great for us, but what he's done has essentially amounted to a Juan Uribe hot streak with home runs being replaced by singles and doubles. Should Alexei be playing right now? Hell yes, you play your hot hand. Give him time to show he can withstand an MLB season. At the moment, it sure looks like he can and will, but funnier things have happened. Juan's regular AB's are most likely over with the Sox. As a fan of his, bummer, but it's nice to see him raise his average 15 points despite this with pinch hit ABs and infrequent starts. But about the regular AB's being over with...thank God, because who the f*** needs a gold glove shortstop who can also bring 20 HRs 80 RBI to the table. The Rise of Alexei Ramirez

QUOTE (Soxpranos @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 06:31 PM) You my man know baseball, Ozzie has no fault here. Players just did not execute. You my man, URGLH BLURG RAH SISS BOOM BAM. SARCASTIC CATCH PHRASE.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 06:03 PM) Then if you want an argument that makes sense, what about sending Dotel in there? I love Ozzie...but I doubt there is another manager in baseball who would sacrifice his cruising pitcher through 85 pitches with a player hitting .200(Don't even bother bringing up that he got a hit, well besides the point). And another person would say that putting in a set up man in a relatively safe set-up role against somone batting .200 would be a decent way to ease a volatile but talented veteran in. Neither person would be wrong or right beforehand. The pitch limit for danks has been talked about before... I think it may be a tad early for it but I also understand trying to save a young pitcher who is pitching like a cy young candidate that hasn't pitched a full season before. I understand easing the burden off of him, it backfired. It made sense. It backfired. Let's not be too shortsighted about this game. We can't really anymore anyways,

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 05:39 PM) Why do you care? The thread is labeled "White Sox Loser" for crying out loud, you should know before entering its gonna be full of a bunch of people arguing on the reasons why we lost the game. Because its a Cubs/Sox series and both rivals hate each other from a baseball point of view I am going to be pissed about losing to the scrubs and will bicker. If it was any other team I could care less if we lost since this is really our only intense rivalry. Missed this one. We care because it's an analysis about the loss thread and not a wild accusation point the finger at things that happened in your mind spout out any horses*** psychoanalysis like a 14 year old on shrooms ranting about baseball thread.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 05:16 PM) Linebrink isn't a f***ing 9th inning pitcher, thats what I meant by atmosphere....bro, he hardly ever comes into the 9th inning to pitch including his entire career. Lets see....who did the Cubs bring in during the ninth inning to pitch? Gee....I believe their closer, perfect situation, and I've watched enough baseball in my life and teams typically bring their closer into the game in the 9th to keep the game going into extras or in the Cubs scenario keep the game tied. Now, were trying to hold them at 3 runs to go into extras, Jenks should be in with the game on the line. This really shouldn't be argued. But whatever, game is over, we blew the game lets hope tomorrow is different. Okay, instead of bashing you on my assumption that you think space aliens were involved and the cosmos weren't aligned and that ozzie should have used his Venezuelan non Harvard instincts. Let's assume that he's a set-up man with a lot of holds, a great whip, and a veteran who on average turned the players against him into Scott Podsednik. ... okay. as for the thing you restated which i already addressed ... okay. ... okay? I didn't even mention the fact that you ignored my initial response(first paragraph should you need a map) to your post completely, the rest were just add-ons once I read past the first ridiculous thing you said. Which could have been summed up mostly by a phrase similar to "by golly gee whiz it shure does look like we did lost today, damnit." Stop blaming god or whoever this mysterious chance event person guy is. edit: sorry a little boozed, this is my second or so edit, re: Lets see....who did the Cubs bring in during the ninth inning to pitch? Gee....I believe their closer, perfect situation, and I've watched enough baseball in my life and teams typically bring their closer into the game in the 9th to keep the game going into extras or in the Cubs scenario keep the game tied. Despite grammatically inducing Hawk's voice in your post, you are correct that the sox too should have brought in a pitcher with an >4 era at the time. Oh wait we don't have any of those. It's really f***ing stupid we went with our best pitcher statistically because of that. f*** U KENNY? SHOULDA KNOWN NOT FORCING OZZIE GUILLEN INTO CREATING ARBITRARY FICTIONAL ROLES FOR OUR PITCHERS BASED ON HOW LONG THEIR PISS STREAM PER DAY TIME VS. NIGHTTIME AVG. WOULD COME BACK TO HAUNT US IN THE MOST FAN INVOLVED SERIES OF THE SEASON. FIRE BUD SELGI!

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 04:50 PM) What erks me most is your in a national league park playing under their rules and have runners on base 8 times this game and don't bunt even once to move a runner over. Also, its the bottom of the ninth, tie game and we bring in someone who has never been in this type of atmosphere in Linebrink. Don't get me wrong I didn't hate the move since he has been outstanding for us. Matter of fact I claimed in the gamethread Ramirez would hit a walkoff anyways so I was getting ready to be disapointed. Getting to the point Jenks should be in, its a tense situation perfect for a closer. Yes lets bunt people over when we have the lead the majority of the game. If only AJ had bunted Cabrera over in the third, we would have f***in killed them. Also, you're right the atmosphere made Linebrink, our best reliever, turn into tee-ball for an at bat. Maybe that's why Alexei Ramirez only went 1-4. He's only been in this American atmosphere for a small time! We should have had Jenks in to prolong the game and then put in Javy Vazquez(FORMER NATIONAL LEAGUE PLAYER. BREATHES NATIONAL LEAGUE AIR AT HOME) in with the instructions to get this game through to the night. Assuming the Sox continued their pattern of not bunting, I doubt they would score any more runs. THEN, we could put in Linebrink. I hear he's a night-person, he woulda k'd the side after giving us the lead with a homerun in the top of the inning. Atmosphere, bro.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 04:41 PM) I'm not one to blame the manager, but today, I think you could chalk it up to Ozzie and bad managing. Of course the pen and offense didn't help, but too many bad decisions and over-managing. So what you're actually saying is that you can't chalk it all up to bad managing?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 11:36 PM) Go ahead and flame my post, drones. We won, so Ozzie is great!! Uhh.... I don't think anyone's saying Ozzie's great as much as they're saying that you're an obnoxious jackass.

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Jul 27, 2007 -> 03:59 AM) That just makes this season seem 10x worse doesn't it? no you're confusing reality with this board

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 26, 2007 -> 12:15 AM) I prefer beer to positing in a White Sox winner thread, but what the hail. Peep the time. I managed to do both!

Another pathetic AB.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 20, 2007 -> 04:10 PM) And how can you say a career AAA pitcher with a double A start to his last name, that has only 1 real pitch and is reverting back to career norms after a career month going against a league that has NEVER seen him shouldn't be even thought of to be sent down. People always seem to forget the new league factor, which is a big part of how Aardsma had been so good IMO (same goes for Lilly with the Cubs). (And i'm not talking to you BearSox, just in general to whoever did say it). Career norms? So he had a 50.00 ERA last year? He's pitched one real season and a 4.00 ERA that year. I'd say if it stuck around 3.66-4.00 for the rest of the year(which seems probable) he probably has little chance of being sent down. Is that great? no, but definitely passable enough considering how shaky other members of the bullpen have been. Each pitcher has a few bad outings in a row, are we supposed to expect the team to predict when those outings are and send them down during that period now? And the "new league factor" has never been a BIGGGG part of anything. It's a small part in the big picture, and you're exaggerating your reasoning.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 20, 2007 -> 04:05 PM) I'm still waiting for a comment about the game and not about something a poster said. He has no one to blame but himself about this pen. there was my brilliant post about the grand slam. besides, i've only had like 3-4 posts in this thread?

QUOTE(premo @ May 20, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) The next time Hawk says ducksnort im going to throw the remote at my tv You mean like earlier in the thread when "darin erstad's hit was only a ducksnort"? Stop cheering against this team.
