That sucks.

BTW, especially to Spade, who takes every criticism of a Chicago team as some sort of personal insult worthy of a 10,000 word diatribe in response, I definitely dont hate the White Sox (Ozzie Guillen was awesome when he was a Brave---it was the twilight of his career, but dude was colorful and a joy);


nah, I'm mainly just a Sox, Bulls and Bears fan. Rile on the Cubs and Blackhawks all you want.

Simply put, they can afford this type of stretch, and hopefully this makes them go out and actually get the bat they desperately need.

I just think it's convenient for everyone to say '2001 Mariners". If this team performed as well as the 2001 Mariners did, they would go to the series because there isn't a team as good as the 2001 Yankees.

Everything Livan Hernandez threw was called a strike. I'm not talking about the kind of stuff that Glavine and Maddux used to get, I'm talking about stuff that was blatently 3-4 feet off the plate. The Braves were infuriated and I've heard Leo comment on it fairly recently with such disgust---its like he can't even believe that it happened. I've seen the game replayed on ESPN Classic and its even more painful/obvious than I remember.

Filmed at Milwaukee County Stadium because Hollywood determined MKE was more like Cleveland than Cleveland.

The insult still burns. But they were right.

Cleveland renovated and rejuvenated; MKE still lives in a bygone manufacturing age. (Sure, though, the union labor and wages, and lifestyle, that such afforded were stupendous, but when the unionized vote started to care more about investements that they could never make - not if they also wanted to put their large, Catholic broods thru university (which they fairly well could on their wage) - and abortions that no one was forcing them to have, the worm turned.)

And good riddance for that.

The air-traffic controllers's union so deserves a belated Darwin Award.















People are dumb.

Anyone else here keep misreading the name of this thread...
i.e. replacing the "o" with an "e".

Spade hit it on the head about the 2001 Mariners. The only thing he left out was part of what propelled them to all those wins was playing great defense all year long. Certainly a stat which gets you to the playoffs, but not one which pushes you over the edge.

It was also the second straight year in the post season that Arthur Rhodes gave up crucial series changing home runs in the late innings.

I imagine the White Sox and their fans are pretty relieved to see the Royals coming up with the Indians starting a series with the A's.

I'm just happy to see the Central the rest of the way. We built our lead going 40-14 on them. Now all we need is 8-10 more wins.

'We flat-out stink'

Guillen bemoands another White Sox loss to Royals

Posted: Thursday September 15, 2005 7:10PM; Updated: Thursday September 15, 2005 7:18PM ( si.com )

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- All year long, they could do almost nothing wrong. Now, the Chicago White Sox can hardly do anything right -- and they could be in trouble.

"We're playing lousy baseball on the bases, pitching, everything," manager Ozzie Guillen said Thursday after the Kansas City Royals emerged with a 7-5 win over the mistake-prone White Sox. "There's no doubt about it. We really flat-out stink. It's not the same team I've been watching all year."

The White Sox have lost six of seven, including back-to-back setbacks against a Kansas City team that has the worst record in the majors. Their lead over Cleveland in the AL Central that stood at 9½ games on Sept. 7 has shrunk to 4½.

The White Sox committed two costly baserunning blunders and gave up a season-high eight doubles to the Royals, who lost to Chicago the first 10 times they played this year.

It was also another shaky outing for Mark Buehrle ( 15-8 ), who is 5-5 in the second half of the season.

"Ever since the All-Star break, it seems like I haven't had too many good games. It's frustrating," said Buehrle. "We've still got six games with Cleveland. And the way that they're playing, they could sweep us right now. If we keep on playing like we're playing, we're not going to the playoffs. We'll be home on Oct. 3."

The White Sox held a seemingly commanding 15-game lead as late as Aug. 1. The Indians haven't been this close since April 20.

"If I named all that I'm disappointed about, we might be here all day," Guillen said. "The entire week was disappointing. Even the game we won, I was disappointed. If we continue to play like this, good luck."

John Buck hit a two-run double to key four-run seventh inning for the Royals.

Ambiorix Burgos (2-5) got the victory in relief of starter Zack Greinke, going 1 1-3 innings and giving up two runs.

Buehrle ( 15-8 ) went 6 1-3 innings for the White Sox and was charged with four runs on nine hits, with two walks and three strikeouts.

Chip Ambres opened the Kansas City seventh with his second double. With one out, Emil Brown chased Buehrle with an RBI single that put the Royals on top 3-2. Angel Berroa singled off reliever Luis Vizcaino ahead of Buck's double. A walk and an infield single loaded the bases, and Vizcaino walked in the sixth run.

Tadahito Iguchi's pinch three-run double off Andrew Sisco sliced the Royals' lead to 6-5 in the eighth, but Berroa added an RBI single in the eighth on a cool, rainy day which drew a crowd that seemed much smaller than the announced 9,258.

Mike MacDougal got the final four outs for his 19th save in 22 chances.

Jermaine Dye hit a solo home run in the second inning and Carl Everett had an RBI single for a 2-0 Chicago lead. The Royals tied it the third on Brown's RBI double and a sacrifice fly by Berroa.

In the second inning, A.J. Pierzynski singled after Dye's home run but was easily thrown out while attempting to score on Joe Crede's double.

Carl Everett was hit by a pitch with one out in the sixth and went to third on Dye's double. But he overran the bag and was tagged out trying to get back.

Greinke managed to avoid becoming the major leagues' first 17-game loser.

"I got bailed out by the defense and by bad baserunning," he said. "They're playing for a lot. You can see how pumped-up they are."

We're in serious, serious trouble. Buehrle is a grade-A bitch.

That worked out real well for us.
