I have come to realize podsednik and uribe are the sole reason we are not at least 4 games up in the divison.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 04:26 PM) Thats what I'm saying. I was considering he thought there was less than 2 outs. He really had no reason to stop. Maybe he couldn't see the ball and didn't know where it was. LOLOL. Then look at the f***ing coach. Why did podsednik stop last night jesus this s*** is sad, I don't care what the f*** the score is , this is stiupid baseball!!!!!

I am watching the game via this. Is it junkball fred or is he thowing the hard stuff.

QUOTE(PA32R @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) I agree with this. So, as someone relatively new to the board and who lives in Cali and thus can't follow Chicago news very easily, why does the majority of this board hate the Twins so much? I'm no Pats fan but I like their organization and respect what they've accomplished. Why wouldn't the same hold for the Twins? BTW, though I'm new to the board my childhood hero was Nellie Fox and the first thing I learned to say was Louis Aparicio so I'm not new to the Sox. Envious that they are always competitive. Notice they have no fans yet blame nobody and continue to grow talent and rob teams.

If there is no great deal in the offseason why not open the rotation to all 6 guys for next season with the loser actually BEING USED as a long reliever???? Not the best sceanario but I just think it is great insurance should an injury occur.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 03:25 PM) You mean in 2004, where he had enough power to hit it out to right center? I know Cintron's defense isn't great, but he needs to be playing at least once every series at SS. Uribe is worthless . You were almost right.

This team really has a tough time running hard. At every opportunity to assume there is no need to hussle, they do not hussle. Yet the fearless leader does nothing to call them out but will tell us all about the young guys not being as good as veterans. Guillen is turning into Dusty Baylor.

At what point are uribe and podsednik finally benched. I do not think Gload, Mackowiak and Cintron are starters either but those two are embarassing righ now. We could still have life if we could get an offensive roll going.

Anyone loooking to kill an hour. Look at the righties Anderson has started against. Anyone with a good slider makes him look stupid, kind of like podsednik every game. Please start Mack or Gload in left and Sweeney or Anderson in center. Going running until 9:45 hope to see a lead when I return.

The person that makes these calls for FOX is a southsider and die hard Sox fan FWIW.

You know what. Jenks gave up two grounders throug the infield. It wasn't that bad. The hardest hit ball wa the DP. Great job Hose.

I think my head heart and remote have all exploded. f***ING YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SB tying run on second let's hope we don't get walked off... or not

Here is the difference in 05 and 06. We won close games in 05 and we lose them in 06. I hope I am wrong but the offense needs to be more productive. We have sent 32 men to the plate in 9 innings. That is not good.

Sorry to pop in with a negative thought but it is late and I'm the only one awake. Scott Podsednik is terrible. That's all.

Will bring back memories of late June, 2000 except on the other coast.

Sorry if I offend anyone here; Jenks if he said he was healthy starts the 9th. NO DEBATE AT ALL. If you think not, you do not understand baseball. Now he has a hip thing, after the first two doubles, you pull him for the lefty match up. He was not throwing well. The Sizemore hit was a flare. But here and more importantly, why wasn't Konerko guarding the line for Michaels it was a tie game and the go ahead run was on second so I suppose you want to take away the hit through the infield? Also, why was Anderson playing the second batter in the 9th to pull so much especially with Sweeney in left?

Well Sweeney's average is now below Anderson's. I guess he should start against the three lefties and play center the next three days.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 07:41 PM) He sure looked to be in jog mode at the end there. I wonder how hard he was going down the line. Come on he got his hit. Now he can go 1-6.

QUOTE(beautox @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 07:06 PM) i seen thome leg out a tripple in spring training and score from first. Dinner for all.......

QUOTE(Balance @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 02:46 PM) Ummmm....... Not anymore. Tied at 4, bottom of the 8th, runner on 2d, 2 out. Rain Delay. I suppose we need to root for a rainout at this point. Wouldn't that revert the score to the last complete inning? Yes but I think they will wait all night. It reverts to the end of 7. 4-1 Mariners.

Until he pissed off the Cardinals by aging a few years, Pablo Ozuna was going to replace Edgar Renteria. Why can he not replace Uribe for the next 24 games? Then Sweeney, Gload or Pods can play left? Oh right he and Mackowiak have forgotten how to play any other position because they are playing positions they are incapable of. Do you think it is tough to learn a new position and bat lead-off???

Yesterday's game meant s***! Today when I opened the paper I saw that we caught the biggest break of the year. Dye and Jenks are back. These are our two MVP's. We lost twice because they were hurt. Vazquez was absolutely awesome last night. That was huge maybe not this year but I think he can still be something. I believe we will begin to hit and not stop until the end of October. We could be in a race Monday with three teams all within two games of one another. I think we win tonight and both the Sox and Twins go 3-1 over the weekend. I also think the Twins lose and Tigers win today. Tonight, if we get a leadoff hit to start the game and Contrearas pitches like he can, we will go on a roll. That's all I have got to say about that.

I find it very disheartening that in a must we. (If we lose we 1 1/2 behind the Twins.) We are giving someone that struggles against lefties their major league debut. Mack is not a GG Rf but he will do the job and has at least hit major league pitching before. This is not the time to be testign young players. I hope cooler heads prevail. Our offense is pathetic right now. That last thing it needs is another automatic out. I am not ripping on Sweeney here BTW.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 09:42 PM) i got no problem with anyone calling our team out for just about anything...i got a problem with sox "fans" giving up hope when we are .5 games out of the playoffs The sad thing is...I wish I could give up and walk away say it is over and wait until next year. Instead I am thinking we win one of the next two and let Det and Minny beat each other over the weekend and get on a roll out west. I also get pissed because we were schooled by Julian Taveraz have gone 2-4 in the last 6 against KC and could not finish sweeps against KC, Baltimore or Tampa Bay. God I hate this s***.
