The walkoff was against Goose effn Gossage, and was a slam. But Robin's time is passed.

I would just like to add.... f***.

I think "distraction" might be a better word.

I know we're gonna win the Division, but just in case, and to give you something else to watch... If Minny wins tonight, and we win tonight, and Boston loses to NY and Oakland loses to Texas... We're the wild card team of the moment! I was just surprised that we were even close to the wild card team, because I was thinking Boston was still a few games ahead of us there. Sorry, I didn't see the earlier "Wow" thread when I posted this.

According to today's Prosportsdaily.com, the Newark Star-Ledger reports that the Mets are no longer the front runner for Benson, the Twins are. Registration is required for the NSL, so I have no further info on this.

On wmvp radio they're saying that Herm Schneider says this is nothing to be alarmed about.

Hindsight's 20/20, but any offseason in which you pick up Juan Gonzalez, you didn't have a good offseason.

TCB. Win the game, then worry about the other crap. The second to last thing we need is Freddy kicked out of the game. The last thing we need is anyone injured, unless it's somebody whose name rhymes with Den Bavis.

From Thursday's Southtown: Jon Garland found himself just 8 outs for writing a substantial check Wednesday night. Substantial to the tune of $75,000. He and Mark Buehrle made a "little personal bet" before the season started, stipulating the first one to pitch a no-hitter would take all. "To be honest, I would have been happy to write that check out" Garland said. "That's a bet I would like to lose. As long as I was there to see it happen, I wouldn't have minded at all."

One more thing KW has done that none of his predecessors did - he's brought back White Sox players to the organization, e.g., Greg Walker, Joey Cora, HB, even Kevin Hickey. These guys bleed silver and black.

I like the front page to today's Sun Times - and I don't mean the Sports Section, the real front page - DALEY: FIX WRIGLEY OR I'LL SHUT IT DOWN TRIBUNE CO. ACCUSED OF HUSHING UP OTHER FALLING DEBRIS AT STADIUM THIS YEAR Now that's a headline!

Gotta remember where he's playing half his games. His road split looks like this: 30 for 157, 5 hrs, 18 rbi 34ks 13 w's obp of .259, which is horrible, batting avg of .191, slugging of .363. Outside of Colorado - suck city.

No, who's on first. What's on second.

That was a big win at the time, but he went five and flew, and IIRC he got a ton of popups because he was up in the zone. He doesn't have the stuff to live like that in U.S. Cellular on a consistent basis. Wish him well, but a small price to pay for Carl.

When Frank comes back.... it'll be April!

The ads just keep getting better and better.

In a similar vein, yesterday's Expos-Buccos matchup was Biddle vs. Fogg. Both pitched pretty well, going 5 plus innings, giving up a couple of runs.

What, did it get in your eyes? I've been wondering since 1983!

If you don't think God f***s with our heads, how do you explain Cub fans?

Considering what we traded away, and got some cash too, hell yes.

Dybber, you can't run the bases, but you make a lot of sense as GM. I think you nailed the situation. Jose has really stepped up, and go find a lot of shortstops with 25 homers at the end of the year, and plus range.

Kris Benson being Kris Benson is a helluva lot better than Jaquin Benoit being Jaquin Benoit.

Hey, thanks. Wonder what the tag line will be.

If we were to add Ricky after picking up Carl, I say the hell with everything else, let's just ink Hammerin' Hank Aaron to a 3 year pact. Oh wait, get Minnie suited up!

You're right Steff, I don't know what I was thinking. Oh yeah I do. Carl is a s***ty outfielder, that's what I was thinking.
