fathom Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 QUOTE(rudylaw @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 03:41 AM) I know I know. But I put my heart and soul into this team as I'm sure the rest of you do and when you see the team and the season falling apart in just rips your heart and soul out. Maybe I'll just donkey punch my wife instead. Trust me, I've put so much time and energy into this team. Then, it hit me about 3 weeks ago that there's no reason to get too worked up about them. We're not talking about a once in a lifetime talented Sox team that if we don't win it all this year, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives. Look at our team...it's a solid bunch of players that have had a lot of pitchers have career years. Hey, we're still 5 games up. In the past, these choke jobs equated to the Sox being about 3 games behind the Twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be willing to bet KW has been the most active GM in free agents/trades in the entire MLB the past 3 years. Yes, thinks haven't worked out perfectly, but he's f***ing trying and give him a break. We could always have a guy like hendry..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermanson32 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 The Royals better play like this when they play the Indians in their next series. No one can beat the Indians. Let's root for the wild card. Hey, it's still the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 shoulda woulda coulda. we just flat out sucked. how the hell do we score 9 runs and bleepin lose? How pathetic. Garcia sucked, our defense sucked, Ozzie's managing skills have fallen out the window and Cleveland is on the verge of taking this division from our grasps. What the hell is it going to take to have these guys wake the hell UP!!!! WAKE UP!!! ITS OFFICIALLY A PENNANT RACE!! WAKE UP- WE ARE IN PANIC MODE!!! If we can't even beat the Royals- what should make us believe that we won't blow this 5 game lead? And we play the Indians 6 more times? Are you kidding me? Were pretty much doomed. And if we don't win tommorow- i am officially throwing in the towel. Seriously. What a freaking joke. I don't know how anyone can remain possitive on a nite like this.

Whatever. If the team doesn't give a s***, why should I? Why is it that we the fans seem to take this much harder than the team? Because we actually care about what happens on the field........unlike so many of the players seem to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) I consider myself a rational, handsome individual, but this is becoming ridiculous. No one can longer assume we're going to the playoffs because "we've owned the central divison," or "we've owned the Cleveland Indians," or my favorite "If we play [winning %] the remainder of the season...." Buehlre needs to establish himself as this teams ace tomorrow afternoon. NO EXCUSES. If you don't win tomorrow, and at the worst win the series in Minnesota, it will become a little more stressful (if possible) in Soxdom.

Ozzie better go in the f***ing locker room and just throw a chair or something and absolutely let everyone have it. GET THEIR ATTENTION OZZIE! They are taking this lead they once had for granted and it's getting pathetic. The Sox owe their fans more than this. I'm waitin for that too...it's bound to happen at some point. He's been fine when it's all been good...but if the Sox blow this lead...I look for Ozzie to EXPLODE!...which he should instead of suckin ass with these guys all the time and bein buddy-buddy.

GreatScott82 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Sep 15, 2005 -> 08:09 AM) Post Of The Year I will be a Sox fan and believe in this team until there isn't a breath left in me. There magic number is 13 and Cleveland's is 23, let's be realistic. Call me crazy- but todays game is a MUST WIN! With the Indians idle tonite, we need to make a strong statement. 5.5 we can breath, if it goes to 4.5 then you'll have Sox fans driving their cars off bridges. Lets break it down. Yes our magic # is 13 and the Indians' is 23. But lets look at the remaining schedules: We have 18 games left- The Indians have 16 games left- 1 @ KC 3 vs KC 3 @ Twins 3 @ Sox 3 vs Indians 4 @ KC 4 vs Twins 3 vs D-Rays 4 @ Tigers 3 vs Sox 3 @ Indians The schedule is clearly in favor of the Indians. Esspecially with 7 games left w/ KC and 3 with the D-Rays. We control our own desitiny with the 6 final games vs Cleveland. And yes it will come down to the final series of the year. Sorry people who wanted the Sox to 'clinch' at home- it wont happen. We have to start worrying about getting to the playoffs before worrying about the playoffs. I am very scared at this moment. BUT i am not giving up on my favorite team in the world. I hope we win today, and i hope we can somehow take 2 of 3 @ Minny, because you know Cleveland will sweep KC. So it will probably down to 4.5 by the time we play Cleveland at home. Talk about BIGGGGGEESST HOME Series of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 In March, we would have all been cheering our asses off to be in the position we are in. We're on top, yes starting to look back, but it's better then Cleveland's position, IMO. We have to have faith... even if the possibility exists that we don't make it.

chisoxfan79 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 WTF is going on? Last night I was at the bar celebrating a friends birthday and I look up and see the Sox are up 9-4 so I say cool another win. We head over to another bar where the only have 1 TV and the Scrubs game was on but I did not care because I figured the Sox had the game won, I ended up getting really drunk came home and passed out. Anyways for some strange reason I woke up at 4:30 this morning so I turned on the TV and the replay was on and it just started the bottom of the ninth and I turn it on right in time to watch Berroa's hit to end the game, I am still sitting here two hours later wondering how the f*** do you blow a five run lead to a AAA team (minus Mike Sweeney). This is it folks the Sox are not going to the playoffs the Indians just wont lose and the Sox just keep getting worse as the season comes to an end. I would feel better about the division lead if they were up more than Six games on Cleveland which is how many more times they play them. I just have that feeling we will be telling our kids and grandkids about the great collapse of 2005 just like my grandpa tells me about the Cubs in 1969.
