Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 We can still beat the Royals, I guess. We should sweep this series. But since we suck ass on the road will probably lose 1 of the next 2. Hopefully we can get a win tomorrow with the stopper going and guarantee us a series win.

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 If the Rays do what they did twice more and we play like we should against KC I'll feel a whole hell of a lot more comfortable going into Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) 7 is the lucky number for the night . Ending the Royals 7 game winning streak while reducing our magic number to 7. Plus D. Wise number (31) - Alexei Ramirez number(10) = 21 divided by 7 =3 which is the combined number of HR's Wise and Ramirez combined to hit today.

bschmaranz Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) Man... Did Wise start a new cycle or something? And no, I'm not implying anything, I'm just shocked at his amazing performance lately. Edited September 20, 2008 by bschmaranz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 A win like this looks so good. Dotel and Linebrink pitched well . Swish looked good and so did Wise. If the injury to Quentin a has bright side its that Ozzie hopefully has learned that using Wise and Anderson for pinch hitting duties wouldn't be such a bad thing as the season winds down and the post season beckons.

Even better is that we can potentially go with Wise in left and still make the playoffs. thereby giving Quentin every extra second to get healthy. Although I'd think if he's cleared he should play some regular season just to make sure he's not a total mess and out of sync. i dont see any way they could bring cq back earlier than cleveland, injury status completely aside.

Cali Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I put this in the game thread. Entire Bullpen: Pitched SOLID. Liney looked good as did Dotel. JD: 1-5 with a Double and a Run. Griff: DNP Thome: 2-5 HR 2 Runs. Swish 2-4 Hmmmm Think we gotta start putting more people on notice till the end of the season. Rally Colbert?

greg775 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 It's nice to see us continue to play well against bad teams. It's better than the alternative. This is obvious, but that bomb by Alexei was huge. We were about to get blanked that inning against the soft-throwing Bannister after Paulie's miserable pop up. Alexei fouls off a lot of slow crap then hits the high arching grand slam. We get six that inning which was enough. Mark was quite good enough; Wise was great and our bullpen only gave up one run. We got the good Dotel for consecutive outings and Linebrink looked good. I'll take wins against bad teams; hope we can win Saturday. I mean this is the pennant right here. I'd feel so much better if those games against the Twins were in the Cell. But they ain't and we need to be up four in the loss column entering that series. If we are up four in the loss column, I would think we could muster one win out of the three. If we are up four in the loss column and somehow win the opener there, we win the pennant. At any rate, we could have folded after sucking in NYC, but instead won the opener against the horrid, yet hot Royals. One question: We all get worked up about our team. Is the victory formula just this simple? Hit four homers or more and we're fine?? Don't whack four and we probably lose? Are we simply a slowpitch softball team? We all can sleep well this night.

greg775 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Say what you want about Ozzie, but you have to respect his passion. Read Mark Gonzales' cool game story: By Mark Gonzales Chicago Tribune chicagosports.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The intensity returned Friday night. So did the power. Hours after a team meeting in which manager Ozzie Guillen questioned the White Sox’s passion and lack of swagger, they responded with four home runs to pull away to a 9-4 victory over the Royals. With Minnesota’s 11-1 loss at Tampa Bay, the Sox can feel giddy about their current state as they expanded their lead in the American League Central to 2 1/2 games and reduced their magic number to seven with nine games left. After saying his players were too content with a small division lead and didn’t act like a first-place team, Guillen raised his hands in elation after Alexei Ramirez snapped a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with a two-out grand slam that tied a major league record for rookies with his third of the year. “Everyone yelled at one time,” said winning pitcher Mark Buehrle, who became the first active pitcher to win 10 games, make 30 starts and throw 200 innings for eight consecutive seasons with six innings on three days rest. “It was a huge pick-me-up.” Ramirez now shares the rookie record with the New York Yankees’ Shane Spencer, who accomplished the feat in 1998. “I’m really glad I got to tie the record,” Ramirez said after hitting his 19th homer. “Especially fighting for the (AL) rookie of the year and the way the team is playing, everything has been so great this year.” Guillen, who has challenged the Sox during slumps, was pleased that they heeded his words to play with more zest. “At least they listen,” Guillen joked. “I think this club is about reaction.” Ramirez’s slam barely cleared the left-field wall but capped a sequence of persistent at-bats of the type Guillen stressed in the meeting. For example, A.J. Pierzynski fouled off three consecutive pitches before drawing a walk to load the bases, and Ramirez fouled off five straight before cranking his homer on a 2-2 count. In the fifth, Jim Thome hit his 540th career homer to snap an 0-for-11 slump. Dewayne Wise hit two home runs and Nick Swisher snapped an 0-for-14 rut with two hits. “You win pennant races when you do it yourself,” Guillen said before the game. “The last couple of days I didn’t see the intensity. When you don’t hit well, don’t see many people on base, when you don’t make pitches and when you aren’t winning games, it seems like the intensity is not there. “I don’t say we don’t try. Yes, we play hard. But we have to keep the intensity level up. We’ve been fighting since February and we only have (nine) games left.” Buehrle hopes the Sox can trim the magic number before a three-game series begins Tuesday in Minnesota. “You know how we play there, and how they play at home,” Buehrle said. “We’d like to be at least 2 1/2 games up going in there. And if better things happen, we could clinch there. “But we have to take this one game at a time.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
