Joxer_Daly Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) After the sore disappointment of last night, here's hoping the guys are chomping at the bit to get back on track. Lets get it right f***ing up this mob, White Sox!!!

hogan873 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Alright! It's Friday, and I'm leaving for vacation in the morning. The beer shall flow tonight as I hopefully watch a White Sox winner. Speaking of, what's your beverage of choice, Joxer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyho7476 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I think we can take 2 of 3...let's start by winning tonight, and maybe get a sweep! Go Sox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beer shall flow tonight as I hopefully watch a White Sox winner. Speaking of, what's your beverage of choice, Joxer? Guinness - that would be top of my list. I love to get stuck into large bottles of Guinness, but they're available in a greatly reduced number of boozers nowadays. I also love a nice pint of Guinness draught. I'm fussy about the quality of my pint though, so tend to veer towards old Dublinese establishments renowned for good Guinness. At home, I tend to drink cans of Carlsberg, but recently I've been exploring a wide range of various ales. Spirits - Power's Whiskey (but I'm not overly fussy), various Belarussian vodkas(but again, not overly fussy), Havana Club rum (not exclusively), Hennessy Cognac, Grand Marnier, anything else I can get my hands on. You see, I'm not really into drinking.... Enjoy the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Peavy has to set the tone tonight! And it would be nice if the offense shows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Its time for the offense to WAKE UP!!!!! I know it will be hard vs Verlander, but LETS GO! I believe in this team!!! It looks like we have another central division collision on our hands!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Biggest series since 2008?? Or at least since those brutal Target Field series in 2010? Time for Peavy to stop talking the talk and start walking the walk. Detroit has all the momentum & the best pitcher in baseball on the mound. Time to be an ace JFP!

Chicago White Sox Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 We're going to see what Peavy is made of today. This is a big, big game and a win can totally change the tone of the series. Let's hope Peavy ain't a coward like Thornton and doesn't fold under the immense pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Not sure what stage I'm in since I saw Thornton coming into the game last night, but anger is still probably the first one on my mind. Somewhere between anger and denial. Who would have thought that an unknown kid from Colombia and Axelrod would come in and dominate the Red Sox that series and we'd still somehow manage to lose 3/4? It's pretty clear even if they did trade Viciedo...that there are so many holes in that bullpen it still might not even matter. So I started thinking 2012 is like 2001 was for the Twins and we're possibly one year away with all the rookies on this team... I just never want to see Matt Thornton pitch again for the White Sox after this year. That's all. He folds under pressure every time. Someone will make the excuse about Escobar's mistake and say that Gonzalez was 0 for 7 career-wise before that at-bat, but you just KNEW he wasn't going to be able to retire him, even when it was 0-2. http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/p...nded/order/true The AL AVERAGE for blown saves is only 10. We're at 15, 3 ahead of any other AL team. That's basically one per every 6 games, more than one per week. You just can't have that if you want to make the playoffs, let alone ADVANCE in the playoffs. There's just no reason we shouldn't be 12-14 games over .500. The Tigers wouldn't be breathing down our necks if we just had a decent bullpen. Edited July 20, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much excitement as pre-big match tension (PMT) and the desire for the waiting to be over and the opportunity to get stuck in with the hope of picking ourselves up from last night.

oldsox Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Is the Choker going to start at third again? Robin has to sit him. Escobar still listed as the #3 Prospect on Whites Sox web site. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
