Bmr31 Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 with the way the sox have played lately, we need one. I have expressed my disappointment in this team, but something has changed. I have had one of my "visions" and i believe tonights game will be the turnaround to the season. Let this be the kharma thread that puts that miracle into motion............. GO SOX!!

Chisoxfn Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Yes I do. I think you have to. There has to be something in you every year that says if these things happens, then the team has a shot. Right now I see a lot of reasons why the team has a shot (On Paper), but everytime i watch them play, they show me why they don't have a shot. I still have hope.

Harry Chappas Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I thought yesterday was until A-Rod homered. Now I just don't know. I think they could be tied for first Thursday morning but I could also see them being 5 out. Runelvys Hernandez was sent down so the Royal rotation consists of Paul Abbot, Kevin Appier and Jose Lima. This is just wrong. See what a good manager does for a team.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to wait for a miracle while a team with a real manager would have a safe cushion in first place or at least I feel it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I will keep believing in this team until its statistically impossible for us to win first place. Being tied for second with the Twins worries me, but once again there is a perfect opportunity for the Sox to gain ground on KC; who are facing the Yanks at Yankee Stadium. LIMA TIME returns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIMA TIME returns Look we all know we have been terrible against the West Coast squads the past 3 years or so in their house. We are over that now, and have a 6-game home field difference. Granted, we only play Detroit and Cleveland for one more series each and the rest of the series after these two are against our rival Twins, Royals plus the Yanks and Red Sox, we gotta like the fact that we have some great stretches at the Cell, where we've been virtually unstoppable.

This is just wrong. See what a good manager does for a team.... Let's just all remember what we said about Colon-Buehrle at the beginning of the season, and see that both are pitching sub-.500! My point is that ANYTHING can happen to even a rotation like that of KC. That's why games are played on the field instead of just on paper. I forsee this division being up for grabs until the final weekend of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUGGERNAUT Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I think you should stop dissing CLE. Since the break: 5/7 vs MIN, 2/3 vs SEA, 3/4 vs ANA, 2/3 vs TBD They've won 8/11. gms left: 8 vs MIN, 6 vs KC, 3 vs SOX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of us have pointed out the fact that they're going to play a MAJOR role in the final standings in the division. In addition, mention has been made to the fact that they are playing actual baseball since the break (hugely impacted by the stellar performance of Milton Bradley). Where has Cleveland been dissed recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 We had some wins earlier that should have been turning points. There are no more turning points. We are what we are. A .500 team at best that has had a s***ty season for our talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 What a way to start it. Frank being the leader by example tonight. Looks like they are revved up for a hot streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 You know what I noticed? You can't have a lefty throw against Thomas in the 9th or later at home. The Twins did it with Guardado, and the Angels did it with Washburn. Same result, both times. Fought some pitches off, including one that was, as Hawk would call it, a ball that is "the right size, but the wrong shape", and he then finished it off with a homer. Frank is tough as hell in the 9th against lefties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
