Whitewashed in '05

Lets go Gavin. Show us your dominant form when we need you tonight. I take these losses as bad as anyone, but there are plently of games left in the season and were not playing good right now. Time to turn it around and get on a roll. Lets go guys!

I will predict a division win, but it's too early to be able to estimate anything beyond. This team has pulled out wins when they're playing bad all season... I'm just waiting for them to get on another roll like they were earlier.

Don't the Yanks need their RP's? Funny to see Kyle back in Detroit. Sox have had success against him IIRC.

There's no damn way they can outslug us. They better get some more runs off Perkins. Complete bulls*** if we get beat by Perkins and Slowey.

I HATE THE TWINS

QUOTE (False Alarm @ Jul 22, 2008 -> 11:57 AM) saw the rock the bells tour in toronto this weekend--tribe called quest, de la soul, rakim & kid capri, nas, the pharcyde, mos def, method man & redman, and the cool kids. showed up too late for murs and some other acts, and the venue wasn't really prepared to deal with that many people, but the sets i saw were mostly fantastic. I saw it on Saturday here in Chicago or Tinley Park to be exact. I've seen it the past 2 years in California. It was pretty good. Nas was good, De La Soul sucked, they didn't even do Rock Co Kane Flow. Mos Def was another disappointment. He keeps doing new stuff and singing that boogie man s***. I wanted to hear Black on Both sides and some Blackstar. Meth and Red were great. I missed the cool kids and others since I didn't get there until about 4. The venue wasn't great, but it was wayy better than San Bernardino CA.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 11:42 PM) Thanks for the program man. Got my songs back. No problem. I manually backed up my songs like you initially did as well. Except the names are all screwed up so now I use iDump.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 04:11 PM) So has anyone mentioned on this board that Jarrod Saltamacchia (or whatever) married a teacher that taught at his high school while he was enrolled there? Shes 14 year older than him. I remember reading that. I don't know if it was here though. 14 years older and married her... I would've just hit and run if she was that good looking...

Can anyone make a video of CQ's 3 run home run showing the replays and stuff? The clips from mlb dont show a damn thing. This is a HUGE win, 05 style.

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 11:14 PM) So, I need some help: My hard drive crashed just the other day. Obviously, lost all of my music on my computer (9000+ songs). On the positive side I have an iPod with basically all the songs I listen to on it. My question is do any of you know a program where I can take music off of my iPod and put it into iTunes free of charge? I know there are programs you can use to do this but the ones I have found require a payment which I'd rather not do. http://www.escsoft.com/ iDump, completely free. Backup all music and playlists. I've used it plenty of times, great program. You can even throw the executable on the hard drive to carry with you.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 05:05 PM) I don't like the fact that the Twins will miss Joba and Pettitte against the Yankees this week. Yeah, they'll get Ponson... feel like throwing up. Even though Joba is wayy better he's only been a 6 inning pitcher.

QUOTE (wcw2323 @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 07:12 PM) Sorry, but Haeger had had only one start, back in May 2006 as a spot replacement for Contreras. All other appearances have been in relief. One start and he wasn't very good. He was good in relief with the exception of a few games. I thought he had two starts.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 04:57 PM) I would love to see Loaiza start on Tuesday against Texas. That would be just too much fun. I hope Ozzie shuffles the rotation with the day off on Thursday. Whoever does start should get a shot next time a spot opens up for Danks or someone else. Unless he gets shelled.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 04:45 PM) Well, I'm not so sure we have that guy in the minors. Richard, Broadway, whoever is going to struggle. Loaiza's coming back! I think Ozzie and KW will probably go with someone whose been here already... so we might see Haeger or Broadway. If Broadway wasn't doing bad I would give him the call. The thing about Haeger is he hasn't had much success starting up here in his limited time. We really have no good options right now.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 04:36 PM) I didn't say Fields was going to hit .300, but Crede isn't a .300 hitter anyway. My point was that Crede is not better than Fields during his rookie season. If Fields improves at all, he'll make up for his defense. Sorry, if it looked like if I was aiming my post at you because I wasn't. I was just stating that just because Crede sucks right now doesn't mean automatically Fields is better. Fields will be exciting to watch, but people must remember he will K a ton.

I have the feeling KW is going to pull the trigger on a trade very soon.

Crede has been pretty bad lately, but you can't take away how clutch he's been in his career for us. This year he isn't fielding anywhere near his best, and he's still better than Fields. While I agree Crede has to go, he's still a very solid 3B. Don't expect Fields to hit .300 consistently either. They actually have similar numbers in their minor league careers. http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=3247 http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=4755 The only reason at this point to take Fields over Crede is because Fields is way cheaper.

This loss really pisses me off. Great job bullpen. Good job coaching staff. PK you've been awesome.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 03:57 PM) 14 straight games our bullpen has allowed a run in. When you couple that with Linebrink obviously having some health issues, I hope KW doesn't overpay for Street. Best in baseball right? It's scary seeing our pitching fall apart and our offense this season.

Game over with Soria coming in. Good job f***ing up a very important game in the standings.

what.the.f***!

They better not claw out another win...

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 03:15 PM) God no. I'd much rather have Nady or Bay. 1-0 Texas heading to the bottom of the 9th. Come on CJ Wilson! He needs to take his game "on another level" like he did with us.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 03:13 PM) Hell of a job by Carrasco today. Props to him for saving the bullpen twice...

Danks has gotten screwed plenty this season. Time for the offense to pick him up. They cannot give up today.
