Paulie4Pres

Wise still sucks.

LOL, way to break his arm Juan!

I never want to see a guy hurt, but it would have been great if that bat had drilled Mauer right in the wrist. X-rays negative TOMORROW, of course.

AJ....we don't need a HR right now. We just need to keep the line moving... Base hits...

LOL. Twins feeling sorry for us????? They've given us this ballgame. MAKE THE BEST OF IT NOW, NO MORE RUNS FOR THE TWINS.

And if we could have done what Paulie did right there, twice last night, we might be trying to take 2/3 from the Twins right now, instead of trying to salvage the series. Thanks God Paulie got it done. All he had to do was not pop it up.

HAHA f***ERS! Way to run into each other. Runners on second and third, less than two outs, YOU HAVE TO GET THE LEAD HERE.

Gavin looks FIRED UP. This team only has like 5 players who even care if we win or lose. The rest of these guys are just going through the motions.

I don't see the Sox getting more than 3 hits tonight, and they will, once again, fail to score with a runner on third and less than 2 outs. Twins, 3-1, with a token HR from Paulie.

You can't win a WS if you don't make it to the playoffs, right?

They hit that way because that's what works in a park like this... Why WOULDN'T you concentrate on where your hits fall, and not how hard they're hit, when you're playing a team with an OF as slow as ours, at a field like that? Alexei gets a lot of hits like that, as does AJ. It's smart baseball, and good hitting. Something the Sox do very little of...

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 07:29 PM) Luckily your not our GM, because Griffey is one of the only damn players on the Sox who has shown up. Its not his fault that the Sox are playing him in CF, they just refuse to sit DYE who has been the real problem. I'm not blaming Griffey. I'm blaming KW/Ozzie. How many other teams would have Griff starting in CF in the major leagues? ZERO. If you want to ride Griff because he's hot, YOU SIT THOME, AND HAVE GRIFF DH, AND THROW BA IN CF. We are beating ourselves.

Why do the Sox hitters take the first two pitches almost EVERY SINGLE at bat? Seriously. The best pitch to hit is almost always the first pitch, and I'd be willing to bet 75% of the first pitch strikes that the Sox take, are fastballs. We take fastballs right down the heart of the plate on the first pitch, when we're supposed to be a good fastball hitting team? Then we chase the offspeed crap after we're down 0-2 every at bat...... Just lol @ this team. They're going nowhere. START SWINGING THE BAT FOR f***'S SAKE. Go out and WIN the game, don't wait for the other team to LOSE the game.

QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 07:25 PM) Jr has all 4 RBIs in the series and the 5th was on his DP...I wouldnt hate on him just yet Four RBIs and he has cost us at least that many runs with his play in CF. I'll take Anderson going 3-12 in the series and playing great defense in CF over Griff and his occassional offensive spurts ANY day of the week. Griff should retire after this year, or just be a DH.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 07:23 PM) Griffey just misplayed it, he turned the wrong way and was 1 step away. If he turns the right way he makes the catch there are 3 outs right now. Hopefully that was the twins cheap run and the Sox can come out swinging. He was not playing deep enough. Should have been back about 15 feet from where he was. He's also way too slow to be in CF, but, everyone in Chicago, aside from Ozzie and KW, already know this. How many runs has Griff cost us in CF this series? 5?

Brian Anderson, or just about any other CF in the league, catches that ball. We should be batting right now. GOOD JOB OZZIE!

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 09:18 PM) If we win tomorrow, everyone that is declaring the season to be over are going to look like fools. Just sayin'. Not really. We get to play Cleveland, who just got off a seven or eight game winning streak. Twins get to play KC, at home. Even if we win tomorrow, we may still get knocked out... Better hope we can win tomorrow, and then take 2/3 from Cleveland, which is going to be tough with the way we're hitting, and how well Cleveland has played lately.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 08:55 PM) But to make up for all this, the Bears suck ass, I hate the NBA, but at least there is always the Blackhawks. Yeah. I'm just waiting for the Blackhawks regular season to start.

OC is one of the very few guys on this team that actually cares. That's coming from someone who really didn't like OC at all several weeks ago. I wouldn't be upset to see half of these guys gone next year. No fire. No intensity. No drive to win. They're just dead out there. Stick a fork in this turkey, it's done for.

Well, it was a good run, but I don't see any way we do this without Paulie AND CQ... Game over.

Man. Watching these guys, they just don't seem to really want it. Noone really steps up in the big situations. Frustrating.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 07:54 PM) That pitch was too close to take with two strikes. Well, he strikes out either way, but yeah, he should have at least given it a defensive swing there... lol Btw, WHAT IS WITH EVERY HITTER TAKING FIRST PITCH FASTBALL RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE? It has been the best pitch to hit in the last 8 at bats.....

Floating curveball and OC moves out of the way? That's what I mean about this guy playing for a paycheck. He'll probably end up walking anyway... but that was a sure first base.

That was a perfect pitch, right on the outside corner. Can't do much about it. TIME TO EARN YOUR MONEY OC!

Did he get knocked silly on that? lol He should have been into third. Eh...maybe not.
