I think it's dumb to wear a Sox stuff to any baseball game where the White Sox are not participating in the game. I don't understand the point and its dumb and draws unneeded attention to yourself.

Mine is terrible, I've only been able to get him on the phone one time and that was when he informed me that I'm unable to get the red parking pass. The words useless comes to mind.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 10:58 AM) I see no way we don't pick up his option next year. I see no way you actually thought I was serious

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 10:12 AM) I honestly thought I had read it all on this site....and then I read the last few pages of this thread. He's been our best overall player this season, and he actually seems to be getting better at the plate as he gets older. This is almost the first time in his career he has been healthy for three consecutive seasons. Playing everyday will tend to help you improve at the plate. When JD came up with the Braves the sky was the limit in his talent, IMO injuries are the only thing that held him back. Hes flourishing now. With all this being said, I see no way we pick up his option for next year.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 02:35 PM) There's no way anyone can say it hasn't become a mental issue with him now. It's been almost the exact same situation the last three starts, and the same thing has happened. C'mon Fathom that HR that was hit only went 310 feet. How is that a mental issue?

Vazquez is useless as a starting pitcher right now. If you can only give a team 5 innings every start its almost a hinderance to your pitching staff than it is a help.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) Fish it. I'm gone. You guys enjoy the rest of the game. I've had enough of you people for one day. LMAO...were actually supposed to agree with you when you're trying to make an argument that the distance of the HR is more telling than the actual run being scored? BWAHAAHAHAHAHAAHHAH funniest spiff i've ever read.

QUOTE(BamaDoc @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 02:19 PM) I put Anderson in Mac to left and have someone up in thepen. We don't like proactive managing on the South Side.

Jermaine Dye...yes

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 02:08 PM) Cubs are about to sweep the Cards. I can't wait to hear tomorrow how they're still in the WC race. The Cardinals and the entire National League should be ashamed of themselves.

And Pods strikes out looking. I dont care if the pitch was two feet off the plate, its fishing ridiculous.

Bruce Chen is having a Warren Spahn like performance. And DJ is now starting the campaigning for Pods routine. Oh lord. Its not fair that Ozzie is allowed to use the F word but I'm only allowed to say "fishing"

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 01:57 PM) A soft tossing lefty with a 7 ERA and we are still messing around here. Must be a bunch of lucky SOBs hitting that .339BAA against him. I'm sure somebody is bound to post how he has looked really good today and is in the midst of turning his season around.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 01:55 PM) If Crede could have got to 2nd on his hit, that would have been an RBI single. Yup..and the sad thing is our speedy LFer would have never held anyone to a single on that ball. btw, this lineup is terrible today.

Is our team unable to take extra bases? Are we that slow and tired?

Nice pick by Gload there on a inexcusibly bad throw by Crede.

What is Javy's pitch count? Hes lucky if hes gonna be able to go 5 at this rate.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 01:29 PM) Just walk him gladly obliged...on 4 pitches

Two walks two runs I'm actually shocked he got the out at first.

Well at least having Mack in CF hasn't cost us at all this game.

Another leadoff walk to Roberts..Javier is a moron

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 01:19 PM) Why would we give a sore player a day off? The young CF, who sits every other game anyway, clearly needed the day off more. Everytime Ozzie doesn't play BA, I get legitimately angry. Its incomprehensible to me how he is not playing today. He actually is a CFer, and hes been hitting. Mack can't hit lefties and hes the equivalent of Sammy Sosa is center field.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 01:16 PM) Uribe's playing with a tender lower back? Seems to me like he probably should have been given the day off. Nope..makes too much sense

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 01:14 PM) POSSABILITIES fascinating...que?

Couple of questions... 1. Why the fish is Mackowiak playing in CF today? 2. Why the hell is Mackowiak batting sixth today? 3. Why is outfield defense unimportant against a team that doesn't strike out often and almost always put the ball in play?
