Another reason I hate Cub fans.... Today at work, a guy I know who is a Cubs fans and he knows I am a Sox fan, comes up to me and says "Imagine how big of a star Carlos Quentin would be if he played for the Cubs." And he waited for me to respond like this would be an intelligent baseball conversation. So I replied sarcastically, "Yeah, if he played for the Cubs, he may have made the All Star team, oh wait. If he was with the Cubs, he'd be the leader for the MVP, oh wait." The dude did get me and said that if he was on the Cubs, he would of been voted in the All Star game by the fans, which may have been possible. I just hate when a Cub fan talks down to me like that.

We should probably pitch around Melvin Mora next week in key situations. He is smoking!

There were some funny moments, but not nearly as good as some of the past ones. Mostly they just didn't have very good roasters. It was the lamest collection yet. Go back and look who has been there in the past, its not even close. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_Central_Roast

True his calls aren't that great, but anything's better than when he used to just say "Uh Oh." I love Robin Ventura. Don't get me wrong. But can't we get a decent play by play man? Farmer was much better as color. Now he just annoys me. "Uh oh, OH MY" was so bad it was awesome. The "Going-going-gone" thing seems rehearsed and fake.

I saw this on the news. How ridiculous. They should at least than let people bring their own stuff on the flight.

Its not like Twins fans are tuning out of the games the last few years. (If I remember right, the last time the White Sox and Twins played, FSN had its highest rating ever scoring over a 10.0) Its off to the West Coast to play the Angels for 4. Weird thing about LAA is that they play a night game AT Tampa, then fly back home to play the Twins tommorrow. the Schedulers were not kind to LAA there I actually don't feel bad for LA cuz they do that to other teams. Not schedule afternoon games at Anahiem for the last game of a series when the other team needs to fly out.

If I posted what I did all afternoon on my day off, I would have to burn my "Man Card".

Let's call MLB and tell them we are giving Oakland 6 of our runs today and they need to play the bottom of the 9th.

Alexei makes it look easy

MLBtv doing the scoreboard feed from Metrodome synced up with radio feed. I hate when they do this.

Dickey is on the tracks and the Sox train is coming through.

She has the 100M Hurdles in the bag than hit the 2nd to last hurdle and fell to 6th.

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 09:23 PM) Nice welcome to AL CENTRAL, Shawn Gallagher. What happened to SEAN Gallagher?

We have Dish Network. Just ditched Comcast and proud of it.

Never gotten beat up. One dude took a swing at me but I ducked it and he was grabbed and dragged away. I'm 6'4, 230, so not a lot of people pick fights with me. I'm laid back and quiet as well.

I kinda laughed at Punk putting Y2J over last night in Chicago. Assuming Jericho gets added to the scramble at Unforgiven.

And to think, we could of had Jarrod.

We are hitting change ups off a lefty better than I can ever remember.

How dare they cut away from OC and Swish before the Capt Morgan!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 07:22 PM) It's been a long time since OC had a big hit for the Sox. How about OC comes through tonight? Score!

Alexei all over Washburn and nothing to show for it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 07:13 PM) This is bad...Seattle's on the verge of blowing this game open. Edgar Martinez due up?

Lift and pull mode?

All I know is on the replay, OC is going to the base, Alexei is backing up, and Mark throws it to the bag, slightly to the first base line. If OC keeps going, he has the DP.

God forbid Mark pitch over it at least.
