QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) stupid ozzie had to give up that go ahead run He left Santos in when his stuff was getting shelled. Yes it's on Ozzie. Stop defending him, it's making me ill.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 03:03 PM) I'm still waiting on Floyd and Danks to get iron hardened. I can't explain those two... they show flashes of brilliance and being a mental midget in the same game. Just a shame. The funny thing is, they'll both want to get paid like they are MLB elite. XD

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 03:02 PM) no he didnt, you arent even looking at this objectively, you just want to criticize ozzie. when you give up 2 homers in the 9th and then hit into a dp with the winning run on third, its the players fault plain and simple I see what you did there.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:56 PM) if u want to call bringing in ur closer out managed, i guess lol Closer-in-training He's still learning and he implodes quite a bit. I rather have Sale than Sergio in there on sheer pitching experience. Until Sergio gets iron hardened, he's still learning in my eyes.

We're losing this game. These fuggin' losers have had this mentality all season. They have no bushido, they all should commit seppuku.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:53 PM) I call it "having better players". Rayburn? Seriously? The guy only destroys the SOX. Avilia I'll give you though.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) leyland brought in 3 guys that came through therefore he looks like a genius, ozzie had his 2 best guys out there, they couldnt get the job done so hes the idiot lol That is what we call our textbook "being out managed."

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:46 PM) lol yea its ozzies fault sergio and sale sucked Ozzie is the chess player who moves the pieces. Sale and Sergio are nothing but mere pawns.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 02:40 PM) Ozeroo wanted to do the old 9th inning musical chairs closer scenario one last time before getting canned. The only thing I'm looking forward to this offseason is no more fuggin' Ozzie.

The Tigers... The SOX's new Twins?

I liked this piece except the part about bluffing with a pair of 2's.

Am I the only person who doesn't really give two s***s about the Rios slam on Saturday?

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 12:03 PM) Eh, I don't see the return on the oft-injured, last year of arbitration Q bringing in anything of value. And to maximize the value, he'd have to be having a monster year and traded at the deadline anyway, so there's no point unless you want Vic in AAA again. They have to be "all in" on salary again or gut the entire team. I'd rather see them try again with this roster, subbing Vic for Pierre and yanking Dunn/Rios by May 15th for De Aza/Bridge. If they want to cut Rios and use De Aza, then by all means, but since that won't happen I'd want Q/Vic over Aza/Vic. A middle-of-the-order of Q/PK/Dunn/Vic (assuming Dunn isn't the worst player in the history of the sport again) could be incredible. DEADLY... thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 7, 2011 -> 11:12 AM) It would have been interesting to see those same starts from Phil and Zach against a Detroit or New York team. Humber owned the Yankees earlier this year in the Bronx. 7IP 0R and a few hits.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 3, 2011 -> 05:20 PM) Luckily for them pitching doesn't matter much in the post season IJS, if their offense can keep them in the game they have a chance, I'm not saying they are going to the WS now.

QUOTE (MAX @ Sep 3, 2011 -> 05:18 PM) Detroit really has no chance in the playoffs. Its hard to believe they've won as many games as they have with that rotation. They have a good offense. Their pitching just needs to keep them in the game.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) There's a reason guys spend most of their careers in the minor leagues. The Sox have to win the next 2. It's ova! I even predict them to win the next two but unless they Tigers tank we're floating around 2 or 3rd the rest of the year. Our SP for the past two games s*** themselves when it matter most. Big league pitchers thrive in situations like this. Not our guys. We must start planning for next year. FML f*** DETROIT!

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 07:34 PM) Shocked a Soxtalk approved lineup has 3 total bases against Verlander through 5. That man on the mound is a pitching god.

Well if Danks wants big money, he's facing a guy who should be able to write his own contract. Season is over... boy does this sting.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 05:43 PM) Verlander's gotta be urinating. FTFY BTW I think they should've slide Omar Vizquel in 2B or 3B tonight for his switch hitting abilities. No fuggin' RIOS and DUNN! Today, I didn't even have to use my AK. I got to say today will be a good day!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 11:39 AM) So who will Ozzie bat 4th today? Dunn or Rios? Neither I hope, otherwise the SOX's season will for sure be over.

As soon as someone gets a link to the interview, I'd love to hear it.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 03:55 PM) sigh....the sore will just not heal or become infected...it just sits there for me to pick at and get pissed off at....... Not pitching Verlander today may haunt them......... Even more so if we beat them tomorrow.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 02:59 PM) Go KC!!!! HOLY SHIZNIT, 11-8! Can their bullpen hold to a 3-run lead?

I rather see Lillibridge strike out than Dunn. With Dunn, you already know what's going to happen, with Lilly, you don't know.
