Paulie and Pods 12 LOB. Let's win none the less.

When did Mackowiak get traded to TB. Dye was not moved for his speed...

I would pinch hit for Thome here. A-Rod went hitless in the twin bill. Just saw a Pepsi commercial with him

start f***ing crying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

think pods hooks up guillen with dergen's friends??? that is all I can think

ozzie guillen better be grilled as to why that piece of s*** was allowed to bat

I think we are going to win this game.

The approach at he plate the last two nights is disgusting as it is all fly balls and pods strikeouts. I think we win if we hold them to four runs and do not let podsednik bat.

This is sad how many freebies we have gotten tonight.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) I remember ESPN breaking down Thome's swing with philly last year when he was hurt, and how he was coming up just short of homeruns to right field thats what he has right now Sad how many runs we scored without him when out leadoff hitter didn't completly suck

that ab was f***ing disgusting.

I'd like to see Gload at first Mack in left and Cintron at second tomorrow. Konerko can tie pods for LOB at 5 right here.

I think the problem with bMac is no one is really pitching bad enough to actually be replaced. Right now any one of four guys could be replaced but not one for sure. You run the risk of removing the wrong one. Does this make any sense. The Vazquez Toronto game and Contreras Detroit game keep them in there and Garcia and Buerhle have been decently good.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 11:52 AM) This is what he is talking about, and its his plans for next year not this year. They either want Brian to develop into a power guy or a top of the lineup guy. Guillen likes Brians speed and wants to use it more. BRIAN'S SONG: Guillen has speed in mind for center fielder Brian Anderson's future if Anderson is willing. Guillen would like Anderson to play winter ball after the season with the intent of improving either his power-hitting ability or his speed. ''I told him, 'You have to work this winter on being a power hitter or a speed guy,''' Guillen said. ''I think he's the fastest guy we have. He has to pick because you can't be successful in both.'' Anderson's speed has been a plus defensively, but his hitting woes (.227) have limited his chances to steal bases. He has four in nine attempts. Aren't these the talks you have during your end of the season meeting with the player?? Especially for a young player that has fought to stay in the majors and is in the hunt for a playoff spot. As well doing what he thought was asked.

One thing that really was unsettling was the comments that Anderson either needs to steal bases or hit home runs? This was in the Trib this morning. The guy is far and away the best defensive player on the field and is finally hitting the ball. Now he needs to either start running or swing for the fences. Guillen needs to just let him play.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 03:10 PM) He is having a hell of a second half and has carried this team since the rest starters decided not to show up, but that doesn't mean he's suddenly an ace. What is his record and ERA since the beginning of last season????

Off day Monday so Jon gets the extra rest. Let him toss 120 pitches. The bullpen is that much better off the entire pen can pitch every game. Especially tomorrow.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 03:06 PM) And Cotts could use some confidence. With mauer and Morneau in there lineup it would be nice to have two lefties that we could count on out of our pen. They steal signs at home. Last time they were here they did nothing.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:54 PM) Hawk, feeling strong about the club today, decides it's time to go after Mariotti. I am watching the game via Soxtalk. Helps at least look like work. My question is why is Hawk reading Chciago papers in Detroit. I know he can but I think he would have something better to do it is hard to read this crap unless you really want to. I stopped reading the Times, the Trib is 1000x better. Hawk should do the same.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:48 PM) He sounded like an oldie. The home let's them out for recess. That's when the "oldies" have their fun.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) No, but he did say "he hasn't made a catch like Aaron did so many times last year... " Sigh... Did he have to hang up because recess was over?

Line-up v. lefties Ozuna (LF) - Iguchi (2B) - Dye (RF) - Konerko (1B) - Crede (3B) - Cintron (DH) - Uribe (SS) - Anderson (CF) - Alomar © Line-up v. righties pods (Lf) - Iguchi (2B) - AJ © - Konerko (DH) - Dye (RF) - Crede (3B) - Gload (1B) - Uribe/Cintron (SS) - Anderson/Mack (CF) There really is no thought process in the Ozzie line-up except playing Mack and Ozuna out pf position in the hope they will be effective. Do you think Maggs and I-Rod will play today??????

That Cintron AB was the worst I have EVER seen. He should be pulled from thsi game right now.

QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 08:32 AM) We needed to go 18-3 at one point a couple weeks ago to "get back in it". I came up with that number Assuming that Detroit would continue on its hot pace (you can Never ever assume a team will go on a slump just because "theyre due") 18-3 would have us catching the Tigers by September. For what its worth, the Season will really end for us a week earlier because the Tiggers have a cupcake schedule the last week and a half. The SOX will have to have that wrapped up by then. I basically stopped counting after we lost 4 games barely halfway into that "streak", losing the ground we worked so hard to gain. Now, the SOX have compounded this by losing to the Tigers. The wildcard still gets you in the playoffs right? They play well against good teams so as long as they can get in, I have faith.

He is a better LF than CF and would be a good platoon type guy if we could get a SS or 2B that could lead off. Let go Pods and get someone like Rowand and Pierre and I am fine with this. Let go Ozuna and put Mack in the IF more.
