just thinking about it watching the cubs clinch
what do you think our rotation would be in the playoffs if we make and who wouldnt make the roster?
Cliff Floyd with a solo shot to make it 7-0 Rays in the 7th inning...
I definitely don’t want to face the Rays, haha.

so i ended up bagging surfing this weekend because the crew was headed to a beach with no cell service, and the thought of not knowing what was going on, and the fact that there is so little left to watch...
i just kinda decided to hang back by myself.
so the funny thing is – here i am, boyfriend’s away for the weekend, and i am all sorts of jazzed up to drink beer, eat frozen pizza, and watch baseball.
haha! too awesome. life is choice right now.
haven’t felt this good since i was…..
SIX?
...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.
she gets that from the old man.
and I don’t mean WU.
In two weeks they will win 7 or 8 in a row and you all will have 10 inch boners.
well, the pizza/beer is somthing you KNOW
Will make you happy. Enjoy them and let the Sox be a bonus if they win.
Though it sure looks like a magic number of 6 at least.
Have a good one!
In two weeks they will win 7 or 8 in a row and you all will have 10 inch boners.
It do....but let's not be greedy. And let's not you start talking jinxie shit before the game even starts....

Sucks that if we qualify for post-season most of us
won’t be able to watch Games 1 and 2 in TB…..I’m sure they are day games on a Wednesday-Thursday or Thu-Fri.

don't remember
just remember him being out for a while and playing hurt for a while
"Deserve's got nothin to do with it."
I don't know who I would prefer
just threw out Ellis, with KW’s history of persisting after guys (Everett, Jr.)
he had 12 this year (going into this game)
and is tied for 85th most in baseball. i think there are a lot of other players i would call a machine in that category before aj.
i too am disappointed he hit into one in the first inning though.
brian anderson would've caught that...
DFA Griffey,
immediamente.
Everyone get down on their knees tonight.........

It's laughable,
him being in CF and batting .222. Let Oewns play.

Bougowzee
Fields

Tomorrow they face Liriano but hopefully he doesn’t have his stuff again.

I dont know if a pitch low and away is exactly meatball territory
His velocity is pretty good tonight, his location isnt bad. And his curve has bite. So far so good. Davies is going down. Now if you want to see a meatball, thats what Davies calls his out pitch.

Davies is someone we should crush
He has no movement on his fastball. Throws it quite a bit, and has a bit of zip on it. Now if he was lefty, throwing 87 with a 9 ERA. Then I would agree with you.

Phil Hughes threw a straight 92 MPH fastball and a hanging curveball...
and the Sox scored one run against him.

Hughes had a changeup, and threw a lot more offspeed
Davies is a moron, and obviously hasn’t read the book on the sox. He is challenging them with fastballs. Its going to end badly for that plan.
You keep the ball away from our hitters.
You throw fastballs only when you have to.

love lockdown is the song
the albums name is 808s and heartbreak if thats what you were wondering about
careful when you dl it
the first thing i got wasn’t even close
"Deserve's got nothin to do with it."
i'm gonna buy the cd when it comes out
but i wanna have the song sometime in the next 3 months
i do the same thing with cds, last 3 i bought were “Graduation”, “8 Diagrams”, and “Rising Down”
"Deserve's got nothin to do with it."
love lockdown is the new song
album’s gonna be called 808s and heartbreak

Love Lockdown?
The first version was atrocious (clapping in the chorus wtf??) He cleaned it up and switched drums, much better now. Really excited for his new album and for Blueprint 3 to be dropping in a few months.

I am secretly KW. I opened this account to see how the common man felt about me.
"Deserve's got nothin to do with it."
no
but I hate LSU and would be happy if they lost. unfortunately this would just lead to rants about how good the SEC is that the lower ranked teams can be the higher ranked ones as opposed to how that makes every other conference weaker.

I meant more in terms of
the atmosphere, LSU fans are as annoying as they come. Still have nightmares about the one eyed kid screaming “Tyyyer baiiiiiiit” all night long.
We had some legit receivers at least
Lloyd, Lewis, Morehead… Eugene Wilson and Christian Morton’s only good season on D.
Haven't seen much of Hardeman but
the staff expected him to start right out of the gate. I think he’s been fighting off some injuries. Should be 100% when we take on the spread HD offense.
Fuck Griffey...
He can’t hit and he’s lazy. Start Swisher in CF and Wise in LF.

We rip into you when the Sox lose.
Mainly because you say idiotic stuff in either case.
In fact, the one constant this season has probably been ripping into SSH.
White Sox, that’s baseball.
Our hitters need to forgo their usual bag of tricks
Dipping the back shoulder and going into launch mode doesnt work in large parks like Kaufman. Davies has been in the zone the entire night. If we attempted to hit the ball, instead of crushing it we might have a few more hits, and maybe a run.

It's hard to hit at all when you are constantly 0-2

Yessir.
I will say this: I was all ready to call this one of the bottom 5 losses this year: Bad pitcher the Sox would seem to match up well against, utterly anemic offense, bad defense, tiring out our clutchiest starter down the stretch, blowing a chance to (finally) get up to 3.5 against a bad team, etc.
The late inning comeback (and Richard’s continued impressive performance — particularly in small doses) took away a whole lot of the bad taste.

Haha, he just called him Cy Davies!

rongey.
he’s originally a cardinals fan but he’s ok. usually defends the sox but that’s because a lot of callers are quite unreasonable.
brian anderson would've caught that...
Tonight, he's ripping on the Sox for getting dominated by Cy Davies...
No one around here seems to have a problem with it though.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."

Yes, I'm a Cubs fan because I question a crappy performance by the Sox against a shitty team.

I was visiting my parents with my wife and son...
but it’s a damn shame I wasn’t here for a win against a garbage pitcher in Bannister which I expected from the start.

Prior to last night
the Royals were 8 – 0, about 45 – 12 in runs.
Everyone get down on their knees tonight.........
and say a little (or maybe a medium sized) prayer for the Sox bullpen. Call in some chits.
Excuses...
I don’t care. They are the Royals and the Sox should either sweep them or win two of three from them.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
Afterall, who can you expect the Sox to beat if not the Royals?
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
and the sox can't win 2 out of 3 now
because they only won 1 out of the first 2?
brian anderson would've caught that...
everyone around here
watched, listened to, or otherwise followed the game and disliked the result. most know that the season isn’t over yet and are hoping the sox get into the playoffs.
brian anderson would've caught that...
He's been better the last couple weeks
I think his own frustration with the team has balanced him out lately
What's the sound made when you miss the ball for another strikeout... SWISH!
He is probably feeling the pressure of the upcoming Twins series...
It is especially frustrating when the Sox have a chance to gain ground on the Twins against a crappy team and they fail.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
2.5 doesn't mean much...
when the Sox have to face the Twins at the Twinkiedome and then they get the Royals for three games to finish the season and the Sox get Cliff Lee and the Indians.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
How the Twins are playing against the Indians and Rays means shit after tomorrow...
because they are playing the Sox and the Royals to finish out the season. Neither the Sox nor the Royals are playing as well as the Indians and Rays.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
In other words...
The Sox are definitely not as good as the Rays and I wouldn’t put my money on them being better than the Indians right now.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
Of course you wouldn't. Who are they better than?

In the A.L.?
Orioles
Tigers
Royals
Rangers
Athletics
Mariners

the royals have won 9 of their last 11 games
included in that span was winning 3 of 4 against cleveland. the same cleveland that just took 3 from the twins.
so cleveland is playing better than minnesota, kansas city is playing better than cleveland, therefore kansas city is playing better than minnesota.
brian anderson would've caught that...
The Twins have been better against the Royals than the Sox this year.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
who cares? you just said the royals are not playing as well as the indians
yet the royals just beat the indians 3 out of 4 games and outscored them 34-22.
you also said AJ was a double play machine when there are 84 other players that have hit into more double plays than him.
you should think more before you say things.
brian anderson would've caught that...
i love it when you apply the same logic to the white sox as you do to other teams.
i guess. but i don’t see the red sox catching them. 3 games in the loss column is large at this point.
free brian anderson!

Yeah, three games doesn’t seem like a lot…
but I guess when you look at what record each team has to finish with in these last 23 games, it does look a lot more difficult.

so with 23 games to play, including six against their closest rival, the rays had a three game lead in the loss column and that was large. the white sox currently have nine games to play and a three game lead in the loss column, including three against their closest rival, and the sox’ lead is oh so tenuous. nothing like consistency, eh.

The White Sox are nowhere near as good as the Rays, unfortunately...
Not that the Twins are as good as the Red Sox either. But the White Sox can apparently blow a lot of games against good teams and bad teams right now. Even Buehrle said that he hopes the Sox have a 2.5 game lead headed into the Twins series because they play like shit there.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
doesn't matter. at all. the odds of the red sox overhauling the rays were much higher at that point and were still relatively unlikely. it's now remote for the twins. i realize you just want something to whine about and argue about with other people
but it’s stupid. everyone else, quit taking the bait from this guy.
fight like a cat: paws up. - ozzie
An actual Sox player is worried about the Twins, but we as fans shouldn't be?
But Buehrle’s thoughts were with the task at hand.
With two more games against the Royals and the Twins facing AL East’s first-place Tampa Bay for two more days, the southpaw was doing the math before Tuesday’s showdown in the Metrodome.
"We need to go in at least 2½ up going into Minnesota,‘’ Buehrle said. "Just because you know the way we play there.’’
OK, so maybe sounding like a first-place team is still a work in progress.
The Sox are 1-5 at the Metrodome this season. It seems like Buehrle already expects them to lose the series.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
yep
i’m surprised that hasn’t been done by more posters yet. Sure, there’s no ignore feature, but a quick peak at the avatar/username and just skip the post. Not terribly difficult (although I have certainly faulted this many times, so maybe I shouldn’t be the one saying this).
i'm guilty of taking his fucking bait too
didn’t follow the game last night, but damn…

Hit List Rankings: Chicago, #7; Kansas City, #24
Prospectus: The White Sox haven’t been able to add to their 2½-game lead in the last four days despite Minnesota’s swoon, because they haven’t been playing very well either, losing three of four. Last night it was the light-hitting Royals who turned the tide against the powerful Sox, as Kansas City smashed three home runs in its 5-2 win, one of them the first in the majors for rookie slugger Kila Ka’aihue. The only Chicago offense was provided by a two-run blast from Alexei Ramirez, his 20th homer of the season. Two days ago, Ramirez hit a grand slam in Chicago’s 9-4 win over the Royals, his third slam of the season, which ties the major league record for slams by a rookie, first set by Shane Spencer of the Yankees in 1998. Ramirez is hitting .375/.384/.587 in 113 plate appearances with runners in scoring position, compared with .295/.323/.467 with the bags clear. The White Sox as a team are hitting better with RISP than none on, and much of that is because of their performance with the bases full. Chicago has hit 11 grand slams this year, tying the franchise record. The overall record is 14, set by the 2006 Indians (who were paced by Travis Hafner’s major league-record six) and the 2000 Athletics.
The Royals, on the other hand, have just two grand slams, and more than 100 fewer homers than the total of the league-leading ChiSox. Their team leader, Jose Guillen, has the same number of long balls as Ramirez, which is at least better than the last two seasons, when a total of 18 homers was good enough to lead in Kansas City. Guillen has hit 20 homers and driven in 95 runs, an impressive number given the Royals’ total offensive output, but his OBP only broke above .300 for the first time since July 5 with last night’s 3-for-4 effort, and his .259 EqA makes him a below-average offensive contributor in both left and right field, the two positions he has played this year. Guillen has also grounded into 21 double plays, seventh in the AL and one fewer than teammate Billy Butler; Kansas City is the only team to have two players with more than 20 GIDPs. If Guillen does manage to drive home five more runs while finishing with an OBP below .300, he would become the 10th player in major league history with that curious combo.
