The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
1-1...this game is OVA...

ride him hard and put hit away wet.
FUCK YOU, that's my name!! You know why, Mister? 'Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar BMW. That's my name!!
I'll say it again.
reminding me of the Verlander start.
Hey, you guys remember that game in ‘05 I think it was where it was Twins/Santana v. Buehrle and it was his no-hitter v. Santana’s one-hitter and then so twin got a home in the 8th and we lost 1-0? Worst game ever. I would kill for some more 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 victories this year.
Lisa needs braces ... DENTAL PLAN
yeah, those 9-7 and 5-1 victories just aren't worth as much as the 1-0 and 2-1 variety.
"I was going to take it easy on you and make it fast, but then you had to go and play the fucking hero."
by Toonderstrook on Jul 1, 2008 8:30 PM CDT up reply actions
you know what,
I’m going to go ahead and argue this one. Not saying that they’re worth more. But it’s great to see those kinds of wins (10-0 is great too, obviously) scattered around because it means your pitching staff is bringing it under pressure for multiple innings.
Also, Sox Machine. I don’t know why I’ve been riding this stat so hard this year, because it’s probably stupid and meaningless, but in game where both teams score 2 or fewer runs, we’re 3-9. Those 2-0 losses sting me to the quick. Hate to see stellarly pitched games wasted.
Lisa needs braces ... DENTAL PLAN
isn't your pitching staff bringing it under pressure for multiple innings when you lose 1-0, 2-0, and 2-1 just as much as when they win?
or can a staff only give up 1 run in a game to please you?
"I was going to take it easy on you and make it fast, but then you had to go and play the fucking hero."
by Toonderstrook on Jul 1, 2008 8:40 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah
but they’re not getting rewarded for it.
And to use your argument, you’re okay with our pitching staff giving up 7 runs? You like that, eh?
Lisa needs braces ... DENTAL PLAN
no, i like wins. period.

Take it from Coop

Never trust a big butt and a smile.
Sox Machine
well if you like wins
that 3-9 record shouldn’t sit well with you either.
Lisa needs braces ... DENTAL PLAN
In 2005
the sox were 14-34 when scoring 2 or less from my count.
Its not like they did that well in those games then either.

Well they had a winning record
14-4 or something.
I still think this is a bogus stat. Complete luck.

they were 13-4 in games in which both teams scored 2 or less.
and that includes a 7-1 record during the time they let the division lead shrink from 15 games to the final 6 tally. great indicator of well-played baseball.

hey...
I mentioned above i wasn’t convinced of the stat’s usefulness. At least you aren’t setting up the straw men that toonder seems to favor. Did you know I don’t like wins?
Lisa needs braces ... DENTAL PLAN
i am toonder, gaggerland.
on second thought, i think you’re right. the second best era in the al isn’t enough to show that the pitching staff is doing well in key situations. need more 1-0, 2-0, and 2-1 wins.

in an ideal world
they would’ve been 0-0 because we dropped 10 on every team.
Obvious, any low-scoring game means one half of your team is not getting it done. Again, I never said it was an indication of well-played baseball. Another scarecrow.
Sorry, I know know that I can never again on this board posit that I feel any differently about any single type of win or loss. A loss is a loss.
Lisa needs braces ... DENTAL PLAN
of course you can.
but tying close wins where neither team scores more than two runs to pitching under pressure is a scarecrow itself, isn’t it? a game can be 0-0 for 6,7,8 innings and then a team goes of for a bunch of runs. those first 6, 7, or 8 were all pressure innings with the score tied, weren’t they? or each team can get 3 in the first and the score remain tied until the 9th. the second through ninth all high pressure again, right?
"I was going to take it easy on you and make it fast, but then you had to go and play the fucking hero."

14-34 when scoring 2 or less sounds really, really good to me.
FUCK YOU, that's my name!! You know why, Mister? 'Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar BMW. That's my name!!
teams lose baseball games.
the white sox lost 63 of them in the regular season just prior to winning the world series. not sure if you’ll believe it, but some were of the 0-1, 0-2, and 1-2 variety. i suspect you take a 2-1 loss harder than the pitcher who “should have” gotten the win.

you didn’t say shit about the pitchers’ feelings at not getting a win. you said low-scoring wins were good because they demonstrated good pitching in pressure situations.

No. 1: In the fourth inning, three-run homer that gave the Indians a lead.
No. 2: Another one with a 5-0 lead off Bukvich.
