COME ON DAMMIT IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE HAD A WALK OFF!!!

Maybe we should stop f***ing around and make Thornton the closer.

Sigh...

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 14, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Two straight at 98, on 110 and 111. Beautiful game out of Edwin. Let's get him a damn win. Wow... Are there still people on soxtalk that think the Jackson trade was a bad idea?

Wow. This is going to be interesting...

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 04:02 PM) To take that even a step further, I don't even see it as retaliation I see it as setting a tone. It was no accident that the Twins hit our batters 4 times....just as it was no accident when Torii Hunter blasted the s*** out of Jaime Burke at homeplate a couple of seasons ago. Gardenhire does these things to make sure his team is the alpha male in the relationship....it's high time Ozzie quits sititng back complimenting the Twins and instead takes a page out of Gardy's book and has his guys do some tone-setting of their own. Start a brawl! Hit a couple batters! Annihilate a fielder on a slide! Do something to remind the Twins that they're in your park and you're in charge. Yes, I was very disappointed by that Twins series Now THIS is what I'm talking about! Make their pitchers - and every other pitcher - think twice before throwing at one of our guys. Where's the spirit of this ball club when we play the twins? I had a good view of the Sox dugout last night, and they looked as they were just sitting there. It didn't look like they were chatting or cheering or anything. The only thing I saw was Paulie kick something while grabbing his bats after the game was over. And this was after everyone had left. I know this sounds stupid... hell I'll probably read this later and wonder WTF I was thinking, but I want a brawl. I really do. Show each other and fans that you care about winning and don't give a f*** about the twins. Maybe that will inject some spirit into the club. I'm sorry, but that game last night was just awful. If not a brawl, then at least get in somebody's face and let them know that you're alive.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) He's been hit by 3 pitches in 2 days and has been struggling a lot with the bats lately. But we shouldn't retaliate

After last night it's hard to get excited. Section 526 was FULL of twins fans. That was hands down the worst game that I have ever been to. But with that being said, I want a serious ass whuppin tonight. And if one of our batters get hit, I wanna hit 2 of theirs. This s*** has to stop. Let's beat Detroit's ass, then go up to Minny with a chip on our shoulder. This "respect" for the twins and Gardenhire is starting to get out of hand. If a bench clearing brawl is what it'll take to ignite this team, then so be it. I'm tired of the White Sox getting punked out.

I can't understand how he became so brutal at the plate like that all of a sudden. I mean I know the PED thing (which I don't think there's a link), is there, but he was raking in the beginning of the season. What happened? The other day he swung at a pitch that hit the ground a foot before the plate. Why?

Giants got Jose Guillen

Well the Giants just got Jose Guillen. The pickins' are getting slim...

I wonder if it would help if Manny came out and just said that he is only interested in playing for the White Sox, and any other team that tries to claim him is just wasting their time because he won't be happy playing for them? Probably not, but I would think twice about claiming a guy if he said that. I'd be afraid that I would get stuck with the contract of a malcontent.

I hope he doesn't listen to Ozzie again this offseason. Please get us another bat or 2.

Just saw Paulie kick some s*** around in the dugout. That's the first time I've ever seen him show any emotion.

I saw Jenks walking gingerly down the clubhouse stairs. Well, guess it's time foe Linebrink to stretch those neck muscles twisting around watching balls fly outta here.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 08:50 PM) Sounds like a lot of Twins fans in the house tonight. I'm here in sect 526 and there are a LOT of those f***ers here tonight.

Good Lord Carlos...

"The Twins don't beat themselves" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Punk b****es.

Hell yeah!!!!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) That was in the '02 playoffs, and 2003 was pretty much a lost season for him. 2004 was the year he recovered, and he came back to life in 2005. Well maybe this year is Beltran's recover year and he comes back to life next year.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 01:39 PM) I understand what you're saying Sqwert, but Dye was pretty much the perfect example of the Sox picking up a player who was left for dead and resurrecting his career. Dye put up a .231/.305/.397/.702 line in the second half of 2004, and a .200/.246/.385/.631 line in his first 36 games of the 2005 season too. There were quite a few people who thought Dye was done and washed up, and he turned out to be one of the best free agent signings in White Sox history. I think Jermaine Dye works perfectly as an example of a guy people thought was done and the Sox saw something in him. I'm not on board for acquiring Carlos Beltran - mainly because of his inflated salary and absolutely no idea what to expect - but acquiring him isn't the worst idea in the world and it tends to fit Williams' MO of finding players other teams thought were done and over with and getting something out of them. If the Mets were willing to take Linebrink while also eating some salary (and taking back only a couple of mediocre prospects too), then I could most definitely see a move occurring. This. Plus, remember when Dye suffered that awful foul ball broken leg before he made it to the Sox? I know it was earlier than Beltran's injury but it's still a similar situation.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) Have you seen Danks' numbers against the Twins?! NOT GOOD. All I remember is when Danks shut them b****es down in game 163.

No. Please no.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 11:58 AM) vagina? Dude... we're talking about John Danks, not Justin Morneau.
