White Sox Season Ends In Terrordome

Technically, the White Sox are still in control of thier own destiny. They can, in theory, sweep the final series of the year at home against the Indians, and with the makeup game with the Tigers, to force the Twins to win out, a scenario that would set up a 1-game playoff on Tuesday at USCF. But this season is over. The Sox have a tougher remaining schedule, and have absolutely played like shit without our beloved Q!

Good point by Sox postgame --
why is Paulie not guarding the line on the Span double?
by The Actual El Guapo on Sep 25, 2008 10:47 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
He was holding Gomez on first and jumped off the bag after the pitch
his momentum was carrying him away from the line and he couldn’t turn himself around in time

Against Pens in Domes
Remember last year we had that 0-for-60-something thing on that one road trip including toronto
This season the Sox are 27-for-156 against relievers in Domes for a collective batting line of .173/.250/.295…. That’s not gonna get it done

For what it's worth
I’m a huge Cubs fan who also doesn’t hate the Sox. I feel genuinely bad that they’re in trouble-I was really looking forward to a post season with both teams in the playoffs. Still, it isn’t over yet-the Sox could still pull it out.
And any Cubs fan who decides to rub this in, is pathetic.

He blasted his teammates before this series, he hit in the first month, he can’t throw anyone out, he calls for too many change ups, and did I mention he is a cancer? It would not surprise me if many of the players on the team agreed. If anything OCAB was right bashing these guys, I have never seen a team quit so much over the past couple of years except the mets, but at least it looks like they try.

I'm not a huge fan of AJ
but our organizational catcher situation is dire. It would cost us plenty just to make a lateral move. You could easily argue that he’s been our most indispensable player. It’s Toby Hall and Paul Phillips/Cole Armstrong/Donny Lucy if he went down.

he said in so many words that
griffey and thome couldn’t shine Barry Bonds’ jock strap. Am I missing something or were those 2 guys mashing long before Bonds took hgh? I think his quote was “they are not even in his league”… now, I realize steroid barry was the most PROLIFIC hitter in baseball history but to call out Thome and Griffey did not seem like the right thing to do. The way he said it seemed like a shot more than what he said.

like i said it was more of the way he said it....
they mentioned that he plays with 2 pretty good players and he shrugged them off like they are garbage (which they are). Just seems like he should have sucked his teammates dicks a little more… My proposed trade for Ichiro may not be that far fetched, he “feared for his safety” in the Mariners clubhouse… So much to the point they had to call a team meeting.

Thome may be the most worthless acquisition Kenny ever made. I would have rather kept the fire and the passion, and carl everett over this bum. He has done nothing since he got here except hit his home runs when we are 7 runs up or 7 runs down.

And there are a couple of other guys who are young yet but show a lot of promise, Young, Gomez, Span and Casilla to name a few.
But I think the main point you are trying to make is correct: the Twins have a lot of role players.
Now Baseball is not hockey, but I played college hockey and I was a role player. Role players are a vital ingredient to a winning team.
When you have a team of super egos like the Sox have, no one is willing to do the little dirty things necessary to win, or to hustle their butts off. They are too busy looking good and trying to prove their worth to themselves and each other. Hell even your catcher thinks he’s a superstar who shouldn’t have to get his jersey dirty.

Big disapointment
On an old team which you knew was going to get worn down, you luck out and find yourself in a pennant race and you needed a young guy in his prime like him turning on the afterburners at the end of the season. Kept waiting all year for him to crank it up. Instead he vanished, like poof… he was gone.
"The little things are always in my mind," he said. "I always like to move the guy over, I like to bunt."

Williams needs
another off season like the last (OK a little less spectacular) for us to be competitive next year.
Pitching and defense win baseball games in September and October.

Ugh...
I don’t mean to be such a bitch, but can you take down that pic?
I can talk about how incredibly unlucky the Sox were… 6-1 lead…. 6-3 lead with Thornton in…. 6-4 lead with Jenks in… 0-2 on Gomez… 0-2 on Span… Span’s ball down the line called fair… Swisher called out… Nathan not having anywhere near his best stuff, falling behind to both Dye and Konerko. Useless, all of the above (my words, not the players).
Reason has no spot in my brain tonight. On Casilla’s at-bat I was basically resigned to the inevitable. I wasn’t even terribly mad at that point. Just needed to see the flat-line for myself, and was it ever so appropriate — Bobby gets ahead in the count and Casilla flips a ball that wouldn’t have broken a glass plate into CF.
What’s the general chatter, besides the obvious ‘season over’ (which I more or less agree with, although I recognize that the Sox still have a somewhat decent statistical shot)? I was surprised to see bitching at Jenks… I don’t see why, really. Did anybody hit the ball hard off of him? The Punto walk should’ve never happened, but I also thought he was squeezed horribly in that at-bat.
And while I try to never get too hostile, Alfonso Marquez can eat my asshole. I should only be so lucky if I could suck at my job as much as he does and still get paid. What a fucking clown.

They got what they deserved on the 0-2 to Gomez
Don’t remember what they threw or the location to Span on 0-2. How were they not in a no doubles set to start off the 8th though? The last time I remember seeing an ump show up a team like that was during the Manuel days in Cleveland. There was some chirping from the bench and the ump rung the hitter on three straight pitches to end the game, two of which weren’t really close. Then he stared into the dugout the whole way into the umpire walkway.

Clown blue
The crowd loved it and wasn’t that special.

It's too bad they couldn't hang on this one,
Hawk’s call of ‘HE THROWS IT AWAY! THROWS IT AWAY! THROWS IT AWAY!’ could’ve had ‘JOOOOE CRREEEDDDEEE’ like staying power
