Griffey on base for the 4th time (2 walks now)

Nice AJ! I'd stop first pitch swinging up this big though. That can cause some teams to start throwing at you

OCab still in to hit. Hopefully we see Getz the next time through the order. Nevermind

Uribe now hitting .240 (.270 in August). I bet most people would have settled for that at the start of the year out of him, with his 'D' being what it is

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 03:26 PM) How did no team try and trade for Ibanez? Seattle wanted too much

Ibanez is pretty good.

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 03:22 PM) Wise out of the game after that catch, Brian Anderson in. Too bad for him. He finally gets into a game and gets hurt and has to leave early

well he got the run in at least haha

A's strand a runner at 3rd in the 6th

If it's Sunday-Saturday Alexei is well on his way

Jake Woods (who?) in to pitch

Griff's 1st XBH with the Sox is a bomb. Nice. His bat picking up would be a welcome sign too

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 02:40 PM) I'd agree with this...his fastball is about 91, and his slider has significantly less tilt. I think Liriano's benefitted by facing some crappy lineups since he returned. I've also read he isnt using his fastball nearly as much as he did a couple years ago. With his current pitch count, Oakland will probably have 4 innings of the Twinkies pen.

I love Alexei

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Aug 20, 2008 -> 02:22 PM) 2-0 on Thome's single You're really on the ball here arent ya? haha

Good job Griff

Twins lead 2-1 by the way. Mike Redmond RBI

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 10:29 AM) All the above. Bring it on. Among the finalists, there is really only one city that I think will give Chicago a run for their money - Rio. Tokyo tries for it every damn cycle, and Nagano just had a winter Olympics, plus Beijing in the region. Europe goes in 2012, no way they go again in 2016. That leaves Chicago and Rio. South America has NEVER had an olympics, which gives Rio a huge boost. But, Rio also has huge crime problems and other issues that may prevent it. Go Chicago! Also, i dont know if this would factor into the decision or not, but I think it is worth noting that Brazil is hosting the 2014 World Cup. Obviously it would be spread a bit across the country but Rio undoubtedly will be one of the main focus cities.

Anyone know what Lexi's english is like?

QUOTE (thedoctor @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 03:52 PM) i love the fact that "seriesly" has joined the soxtalk lexicon. that in and of itself is evidence that the world of soxtalk is thriving and vibrant. I was just about to mention that. It seems i've seen that a lot the past several days and wasnt sure if it was a joke or "series" in some cases

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) With the Bob Saget roast, the funniest guy was the one who said he wouldn't swear because cheap laughs through dirty language is how Bob got so popular. Can't remember who that guy was though, but his best joke was "in honor of George Carlin, here are seven words you'll never hear on television. And the emmy goes to....Bob Saget". Also, I have a big time guilty pleasure: "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. That song is as outstanding as it is weird. Jeffrey Ross

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) Stay hot Jim Thome and get hot Nick Swisher!! Hey, this prediction isn't too bad though when you consider the bold part is Carlos Quentin. I'll take it. Nicely done!! This is the most impressive post in this thread because those were the only two predictions you made. Daa84 was pretty good with his JD and draft predictions too

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 01:28 PM) I feel like we've done well against knuckle ballers. I cant remember the last time we saw one. I'm guessing it was Wakefield but i cant recall how we did. Plus, this years team is a lot different than the past few years teams

QUOTE (TCQ @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 02:22 PM) R.A. Dickey is starting tomorrow...Hes uh, not good. But he throws a knuckleball. How many of our guys have faced someone like him beofre? I'd say there's about as good of a chance that our offense lays an egg against him as there is they light him up for 10+ runs.

QUOTE (WHITESOXRANDY @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 01:44 PM) It's good enough for me. Where can I get my playoff tickets ? Sox over Angels Red Sox over Rays Sox over Boston Sox over Mets Woo Hoo! 2 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 4 YEARS! WOO HOO! Nice sig
