jim, you're on a roll!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
After today the Twins will have played 9 more at home than the Sox

Home, road...
it doesn’t really matter if your pitching staff gets rocked by the Royals. If that happens, you are going to lose anywhere. Even though these are road games, the Sox should win two out of three against the Royals if they are serious about winning the division.

Shit, I stopped watching that catastrophe...
Didn’t realize it was 19. Well, the Sox still have time to overachieve and give up 20 today.

you're the first driver to slow down
causing the unnecessary logjam in traffic.
He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

But I need a recap of what I just watched in the most negative light possible
With more than occasional fellating of teams and players I’m not particularly concerned about, and with no acknowledgment of their flaws.
I CAN'T STAND IT.

now it's my turn to call bullshit!
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!!
The problem is...
even if the Twins aren’t that good, the Sox will lose the division on their own with this garbage pitching. The way the Sox look right now, the Twins could take the division with 85 wins.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
So you must be assuming that the Sox are going to start pitching better.

Boone Logan sure has turned into a pile of crap on the mound lately.

My only hope is that Ozzie's head literally explodes after the game,
and all the players get patches on their jerseys and win it for him.
Also, never underestimate the power of a disgraceful performance.

The Sox 105 day run in first place run is ova according to Hawk.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."

Hawk must be drunk then...
I could swear that is what he said.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."

pretty sure
That Hawk isn’t drunk. He is just Hawk and is 200 years old and doesn’t have a clue.

farmio:
the sox pitchers don’t get the first pitch over the plate against the royals and then the royals get ahead in the count
the twins pitchers do get the first pitch over the plate against the royals and then the royals are different hitters

that's called a hip and it hurts like a bitch to get hit there.
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!!
He got him right in the hip w/ a 94 MPH fastball
I don’t think there was anything kind about it. Swish is gonna be feeling that one for a week
AIM: SouthSideCheat
How is that annoying?
Getting hit in the hip with a 94 MPH definitely hurts but you aren’t going to get anything broken. Carrasco could have broken Olivo’s hand throwing where he was.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
ARGGHH!
So you’re arguing that Carrasco aimed for Olivo’s hand … and hit it.
Lisa needs braces ... DENTAL PLAN
Carrasco threw three straight high and inside 90 MPH fastballs to Olivo.
I doubt he was aiming for Olivo’s hand but he was definitely trying to hit him. I’d rather get hit by a 94 MPH pitch in the hip than a 90 MPH pitch in the hand, chest, or face.

Pitching, defense and health.
That's because our defense has sucked also. So a lot of unearned runs.

Don't worry. Sox is still on the top but
only for a few more minutes. With this pitching stuff, u still want to win the division. Daydreaming, OZ, KW, and cheep Jerry.
They really come out of the woodwork to chirp, don't they?
I agree. Jerry is a big bird.
AIM: SouthSideCheat
I'll have my own prediciton when 09 is coming.
Even though I like Sox, I have to say this: I was right in 07; I have a good chance to be right this year. As a fan, I have my own judgments, regardless of what OZ or KW say what a great team we’re having. I am not sarcastic. I am just being realistic.
No, you said:
See you 2009. I’ll be back then.

That's fine. I believe u default on ur words sometimes.
No big deal, bro
I saw this posted at SoxTalk...
Bruce Levine thinks the Sox should/will sign Livan Hernandez. He’s got lots of big-game experience, but has been getting hit hard this season. Personally, I don’t think he’s got anything left in the tank.
Yes, Bruce… let’s make the Sox pitching staff even worse than it currently is!

Send Richard, Logan, and Wasserman to AAA...
This is getting ridiculous.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."

Logan has been terrible...
It would be very tough to be worse than him right now.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."

Bullshit
Derek Rodriguez would actually help. If you spent any time researching our farm system instead of shitting all over it you’d actually know that.
by Craig Grebeck on Aug 3, 2008 4:37 PM CDT up reply actions
Just like Wassermann was supposed to help?
And Russell?
And Richard?
The fact is that the Sox farm system sucks so even your boy Derek Rodriguez would likely get shit-bombed if the Sox do end up calling him up. But since guys shouldn’t be able to continue to pitch like shit and keep their job, I wouldn’t mind seeing a replacement.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
Why do you refer to Derek Rodriguez as "my boy"?
Your knowledge of the farm system is embarrassing. The reason I think Rodriguez (who has nothing to do with Russell and Richard by the way) will help is that he has pitched well in AAA—unlike Whisler.
Why don’t you spend your free time educating yourself on our farm system instead of slamming it?
by Craig Grebeck on Aug 3, 2008 7:22 PM CDT up reply actions
Rodriguez is a righty...
I’m sure it wouldn’t make much sense to Kenny or Ozzie to replace Logan with a right-hander
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
i think it would make sense to replace him with someone who can get people out.
there’s little point in keeping a pitcher around who can’t get anyone out just because of his pitching hand, no?
and, just a little hint, when craig said “educate yourself” he probably meant doing something more than just looking at which hand with which he throws the ball. rodriguez is good against lefties. better than against righties. i know, this must go against all you know about baseball.
Sure would...
but I can guarantee that Ozzie wants two lefties in the bullpen, whether it makes sense or not.

when the fight happened
why don’t they all go in? all 25 players and the coaches too? all punching and kicking, they can’t suspend them all, the game was lost anyway so why not. KC would have fought back. You’ve got to protect your team mates, i was very disappointed by the reaction to the batter attacking carasco.
Sox fan from England, marching on together
actually, they can suspend them all.
sweet. let's sign willie mays, too. he’ll suck but it’s willie. fucking. mays.
so they would not be able to field a team?
what’s the point of fighting then? they may as well jsut stand there and laugh, it’s all handbags anyway
Sox fan from England, marching on together
indeed. what is the point of fighting.
sweet. let's sign willie mays, too. he’ll suck but it’s willie. fucking. mays.
Don't worry guys...
Help is on the way! From SoxTalk.com:
Contreras at Charlotte for a rehab start: 5 innings, 5 hits, three walks, 4 runs and gave up a homer.Joe Crede was a scratch from the line up for the second day in a row. Twinges in his back had him lifted early on Friday.
