Controlled Chaos

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 03:01 PM) Hey I got here way late guys--8th inning. How was Contreras? gave up a Granny in the first..then settled down pretty nicely

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 02:58 PM) what is this sudden outburst of offense I see? Erstad is rubbing everyones bats with his grinderism. Man that guy contributes so much!!!!!

YES!!!!!

QUOTE(G&T @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 02:52 PM) Farmer is saying that the stadium gun has him at 97. The guns have been way apart all game.

DA ROCKS!!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 21, 2007 -> 02:32 PM) There is no reason to have Brian on this roster. He should be in AAA getting ABs. Terrero could pinch run, and play the occasional LF in the 9th. You dont want to play him whatever, but this does nothing to develop him. Seems clear to everyone but Ozzie. All I can think is KW told Ozzie, Brian is on this team. He is the CF of the future. So he made Ozzie take him, but Ozzie is like...I don't have to play him. I don't know...there are no signs of this at all...I'm just grasping at straws cause the way he is being handled makes absolutely no sense to me.

I hope Mack does something, but Jesus Christ BA has to feel like he screwed the boss wife or something.

I'm very impressed with Danks. He really has gotten some bad luck over these past few games. I like that he is under heavy influence from Mark. He has the stuff to be a good one. Aardsma, Massett what can I say. These guys have been studs! Aardsma is just sick!!

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 09:20 PM) Funny how Erstad and Konerko, our 2 crappiest hitters right now, got us the W. Erstad got player of the game for a 34 hopper that got thru between first and second(surprise), a 75 hopper up the middle and getting the ball in from the outfield.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 09:07 PM) lol the erstad love continues with dj and hawk. This may not be exact but its close... Darin Erstad is just doing what he does...wins games.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 09:05 PM) Erstad???are you kidding me haha I ws thinking the same thing..I wish i had the exact quote of DJ just now.

This game is OVA!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 02:52 PM) I'm trying to remember the statues, Minoso, Cominsky, Aparicio, and Fisk come to mind. Is there one of Veeck? Anyone else? Nellie Fox. There is no Veeck.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 02:11 PM) I believe the writer assumed central Illinois was the same as southern Il. Bah it is...anything south of I80 is southern Illinois to me.

QUOTE(So ILL @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 01:58 PM) Cotts lives in southern Illinois? how did I miss that? Went to ISU if I remember correctly.

Yeah, I heard Cotts tell that story before. It's really a cool story and shows who Mark really is. He is so down to earth and humble. I think that's why most fans really like him. I mean there's players on the Sox that I root for, but I could really give two s***s about. Mark ain't one of those players. I want him to do good and I feel bad for him when he doesn't. I was so happy for him when he tossed the no no. It's like a friend doing something good except I don't even know the dude.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 11:02 AM) Mack may do that, but his defense is terrible in the center. Fixed that for ya. Mack is adequate in left.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 05:36 PM) I don't know if it was mentioned in this thread, but Cho Seung-Hui was committed to a mental hospital, but it was voluntary. Meaning, he committed himself. And by law, at least in Virginia, that meant he COULD get a gun. People have breakdowns every day, whether it's tragedy, stress or whatever. Shoot, I had situational depression when I got divorced, does that mean I should be on some list somewhere? I don't think so...I'm fine now. *face ticks* I thought a judge ordered him to go, but he didn't order a mandatory stay or anything. I could have heard that wrong though. I know I didn't here that he just decided on his own to go and check himself in to a mental hospital.

QUOTE(soxfan3530 @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 09:29 AM) JIM THOME IS A HUNTER. THIS WEEKEND THE TIGERS ARE THE HUNTED!

How the f*** can I have gone 33 years and never heard of that 4/20 s***. I have hung around with/known a lot of pot heads in my time. Weird.... Anyway...lets give Danks some support and get him his first W!!

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 09:12 AM) I was being a smart ass. DOH....not sure how I didn't catch that!

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 08:33 AM) Leave Erstad alone. He's trying to get into a groove. He's speaking about Anderson, although it should be about Erstad. Anderson hasn't received any AB's to not look lost. Erstad on the other hand...has the second most AB's on the team and if you go back to spring training where he led all of baseball in AB's..he should be even more comfortable.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 03:15 PM) I just screen printed the Mark Buehrle story on the trib.com. The video is paused off to the right of the page. Hmmm, yeah it worked for me there, but for some reason didn't on the MLB feed.

Oh I was watching the video online and trying to do it and it would just come up black...Thanks!

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 02:57 PM) Attached how'd you capture a picture form that?
