Felix Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 That's a relief. Great job by Floyd today. Didn't have his best stuff, but stayed effective and held down a very potent Boston offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I just got back to a computer since Firday and I wan to reiterate my thoughts that the line-up shifting daily is hurting the offense. Konerko seems to be getting hot yet he didn't play last night. I am also tiring on Swisher as he is becomign a guy that gets the bases empty walk but when the pitcher coem safter him he is useless. Thome also has been hitting since early June. Griffey and Swisher really are not adding much to this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claydude14 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Great to see a winner and avoid the sweep. Hopefully we can carry the momentum to Cleveland tomorrow, as I just picked up a pair of tickets 4 rows behind the White Sox dugout for $90 and me and a buddy are road tripping down. Should be a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vance Law Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 03:19 PM) I just got back to a computer since Firday and I wan to reiterate my thoughts that the line-up shifting daily is hurting the offense. So you've managed to determine that it is the shifting of the line-up that is CAUSING the offense to do poorly. It has nothing to do with good pitching, unluck, slumping or randomness. And it wasn't hurting the team when they scored 71 runs in 9 games (almost 8 a game) until these three losses in a row. And though the team has gone 17-11 since acquiring Griffey which has caused the line-up to change more frequently (5.5 runs/game .275 BA and .841 OPS over that stretch), it is the shifting of the line-up that is causing the offense to do poorly.

The Ginger Kid Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 so the odds are we lose to cliff lee tomorrow and then will be tied for the division, having gained nothing on the twins going into the last 3 game series in their "monster" road trip.

whitesoxbrian Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Just got home from work. Another huge start from Gavin when we needed it. This was a big win. Congrats to JT on tying Mantle! Going to be tough vs Lee tomorrow- let's do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 08:17 PM) Gavin is rapidly becoming our stopper. Dare I say, Gavin could make an incredible arguement to be the White Sox MVP right now. It would be a tough choice between him and Carlos... Without either of those guys, this is a third place team... at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
