Hawk commented on something that I speculated for a month or so now. Freddy doesn't seem to take his bullpen and mound warm ups very seriously. Just plays catch with the catcher between innings instead of getting a feel for the conditions and finding his release point. I think the team as a whole played like a bunch of dummies today.

Lost a heartbreaker in my summer league basketball game, then jumped in the car and heard about this. Loss doesn't hurt as bad now. Can't say the same for Carrie's shoulder.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 06:56 PM) Which pitcher did we get no hit against through 5 and then proceed to score like 7 in the next 3 innings??? Nate Cornejo

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 06:54 PM) And hence why the game threads suck anymore. 3/4s of the posts are b****ing about Konerko, and there isn't one post in this whole thread that actually has what matters most... THE SCORE OF THE GAME! :headshake 2-1 Tigers, going to bottom of 4. Happy?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 06:52 PM) You clearly have not been following baseball if Robertson is crappy. Beat me to it.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) You expect SOME grounders to not be beat out??? Dude expect all grounders to not be beat out...He can't run. Don't expect the unexpected and you won't be dissapointed. Guess myself and others just expect more from a pro athlete getting paid millions of dollars.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 06:45 PM) Did Pauly mislead us?? Were we once told he was fast? The guy is horribly slow...it sucks, but it is what it is. Does there have to be b****ing everytime he hits a groundball?? We know he is slow and I expect some grounders to not be beat out, but stuff like a weak grounder where Guillen is off balance, does a 180 turn and gets set and throws him out is ridiculous.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 06:38 PM) Good grief guys.. what's with all the Konerko hating.. ?? I just find it hard to believe that ANYONE should of gotten thrown out on that weak squibber up the middle that Paulie was thrown out on, except Frank I guess.

Reading the Tribune causes cancer.

WE HAVE PRECIPITATION!!!!

Just for fun, I looked up these Robertson splits. During the day he is 0-3 with and ERA of 4.18, 29 hits in 23.2 innings and 17 R, 11 earned. Away games he is 3-3 with an ERA of 4.20, 46 hits in 49 innings along with 23 earned runs and 21 walks.

It's getting dark and thundering in Lake County!!! Yes!!!! RAIN, damnit!!!

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) Nice job hijacking, jerk. I got nothing else to do these days except that and waiting for the phone to ring.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) You can tell it's back to delay just from listening. The show starts at 5am... which is the same time it starts there.. if we were not on delay it would start at 4am here. He is officially schedule from 6am-10:00 New York time, but he usually goes til 11am New York time. They let him stay in studio as long as we wants sometimes. Just saying what I was told from a guy who ran the control board for him in Chicago. He told me they used to do an hour delay but it was a hassle editing in the commercials or something. Not to mention after I tried to call in, Stern said it was a quarter to 11 and he had to go and here it was quarter to 10.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:18 PM) We get tape delay.. the show was long over by the time you heard that conversation. No we don't. We used to get delay a few years ago, but we get the show as they do it, maybe on 8 sec delay which is normal. Nanny Nanny Boo Boo. Worked with a guy who ran the board last year at WCKG.

Listening to Stern this morning, and Artie was talking about how he was giving advice to Will about placing a bet on the Tigers today because Freddy has won his last 6 starts and is due to lose, along with Robertson having a low ERA. I tried calling in to get on and tell them than Freddy is lights out during the day so I wouldn't place that belt but they were going off the air in a few minutes. There goes my 15 minutes of fame.

I don't like our chances cuz Steff started the game thread. What a jinx!

That whole umpiring crew is a bunch of bitter old men who f***ed up when they tried to resign and force MLB's hand in union negotiations. f*** em.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) Bruce says Orioles are close to getting Burnett, don'put too much into that because he has the same sources for the Orioles that we do: the internet. And every MLB General Manager's phone number in his cell.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 03:19 PM) This is NOT a remake. This is the FIRST adaptation of the book. The other was a hollywood musical. Fun, classic..but not true to the vision of the book. This will be a Family Classic for years to come. Well put. Except for the extra ending, but I was fine with it.

QUOTE(winodj @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) Especially Being Bobby Brown. What a lovely trainwreck of a show that is. It can't be more of a trainwreck than "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic".

Entourage is great. After each episode, I'm pissed that I have to wait a week for a new one. I'd go with Entourage in a second.

How should everyone treat him? I won't boo him, probably just sit on my hands.
