QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 09:03 PM) I have tickets for Wednesday. Buehrle vs Santana. I have absolutley no interest in going. I'll take em. SHould be a fun pitching match up to watch.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:51 PM) Well I just did a frame by frame on his fastball and it doesnt move that much from my angle. The two 94 mph fastballs that he threw Carl were down and in. Aka the sweet spot for a lefty. His head came off the ball as he swung hard at the pitch. He wanted to be a hero. Stand at the plate and have Rincon throw it, you'll probably see it move. I've sat behind home plate and have seen it. 96 mph at 60 feet 6 inches, how many frames do you get on your TIVO with that? Like 3?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) And the third pitch was at 96. The other two straight 94 mph fastballs down the cock probably should of be hit. Easier said than done. It's not like Juan Rincon is some kind of slouch. His fastball moves.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) You hear that sound? It's the Joe Crede for Gold Glove bandwagon coming to a screeching halt. How many misplays is that for Crede lately? But he deserves a pass cus he has a bad back, remember?

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:43 PM) So I guess swinging for the fences is the only stragedy they have?? You don't know if they are swinging for the fences or not. When a guy is throwing 96 mph fastballs, you're gonna take hard swings.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) Swing Swing Swing away and will come K K K. ...doesn't sound right but, you guys get me. If they take these pitches from Rincon, they are strikes anyway. Except Kong's 3rd strike.

Konerko swinging at flies.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:37 PM) I don't know how smart that is. That's taking his game a complete 180. He went from #3 slot power hitter in Japan last year to leadoff hitter who's just supposed to get on. Plus while he's good at moving runners over, I don't think he's that great at getting on base for other guys. Give us a better option that Tadahito at lead off. He have nobody with a real good OBP now. May as well put someone there who can swing that bat and have good ABs.

3 ABs and 3 full counts for Uribe tonight. He looks decent as a #2 hitter.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:32 PM) Everett has got to DH. He's still not 100 percent. True, Wasn't sure if ANderson plays RF or LF or both.

QUOTE(WhiteSox311 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 08:32 PM) how did griffey clear waivers when our offense blows this much dong. If we picked up Griffey, we would take his WHOLE contract. If a trade is being negotiated, Cincy is probably being talked into taking some of the money.

My line up tomorrow. Iguchi 2B Uribe SS Everett LF Konerko 1B Dye DH Rowand CF AJ C Anderson RF Crede 3B Mix and match Anderson, Dye, and Everett for OF or DH.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 07:48 PM) f***ing Cora! Why would you send him there? Ford has a fantastic arm, and that was a shot to the outfield. The chances of Crede scoring there were very below average. Yup, ball was hit WAY too hard to send Crede, especially with our #3 and best clutch hitter up next.

I'm amazed how the lead off broken bat single rattled Jose after 3 near flawless innings.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 07:11 PM) Where was that slider? Go figure.

Where was that slider?

Why do we pitch to Lecroy like he is Barry Bonds sometimes?

Contreras pitching at a snails pace now.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 07:04 PM) Mariotti had an article calling Ozzie a hypocrite. Hawk went totally off on him, and crossed the line. He even said something along the lines of Mariotti only have his job still cause he has "pictures" of someone. This is why I hate Hawk. Just call the game, Mariotti has nothing to do with the game at hand. Have a rant about how Crede cost us a run with an awful at bat with Blum on 2nd and no outs.

WHat was Hawk's Mariotti rant about? I was on the phone and just heard Hawk mention his name.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 04:32 PM) Basically, yes. The Stewart plane flew for two hours after the last radio contact, suggesting everybody was dead or incapacittated and the plane was on auto pilot. Also, the preliminary coroner's report suggests some of the passengers in the Greek crash were alive at impact: http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/08/15...1437/index.html ESPN did a piece on the Payne Stewart flight and they said that they had a fighter plane next to it and said he couldn't see in the cockpit because it was frozen.

Isn't that what happened with the plane Payne Stewart died on?

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 01:26 PM) She also has some other things that are huge. Including her love handles. Unless in the past year she lost weight.

Kind of a celebrity. I'm probably too old for her though.

How did that flag get up there?
