Haha Lou. No way should he have been thrown out there. I hate the Cubs, but I love Lou.

Come on Joe, got get one in and one over. Do your job here, shorten up the swing and knock it.

Rally Crede Time!

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 07:35 PM) Jim's pitch recognition ability against marshall seems nonexistant Marshall is a good pitcher, but his numbers aren't too good this year. He is a tough dude for lefties to hit.

Anderson you stud, haha. JK

Curveball for strike 3 or for a walk. No more heat.

Thunderstruck by AC/DC = techno music according to Jon Miller. Great.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 07:25 PM) is it possible for the sox to remove that kid with ADD in the green? And he's right next to the microphone, so its even worse because not only do we have to see him, but hear him as well.

Kick save and a beauty. OC was there, though.

Big strike zone tonight. Me likey.

Mark B. = yummy. Did I see 90 MPH?

That kid in green behind the backstop is going to be real annoying this entire game.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 05:44 PM) Uh yeah, so the Buckeyes are now up to 23 commits for 2009. Unbelievable early commit numbers and are sitting pretty as one if not the top class in the country. So far: 4 star DB CJ Barnett 5 star LB Dorian Bell 3 star DT Adam Bellamy 3 star ATH Zach Boren 4 star ATH Corey Brown 3 star WR Duron Carter (chris carter's son) 4 star DB Dominic Clarke 4 star DE Melvin Fellows 4 star WR Chris Fields 3 star TE Reid Fragel 4 star DB Justin Green 4 star ATH Jordan Hall 3 star LB Adam Homan 4 star RB Carlos Hyde 4 star WR James Jackson 4 star ATH Storm Klein 4 star OL Corey Linsley 4 star DB Bradley McDougald 4 star OL Jack Mewhort 4 star DE Jon Newsome 4 star DT John Simon 4 star LB Jordan Whiting 4 star DB Jamie Wood Talk is that Chris Watt is a silent verbal right now. The Bucks could call it a day on next years class within the next month or so. I havent seen that in my lifetime this early thats for sure. it's a great class, but it ain't close to the best. USC is gonna possibly the best ever and for USC to top USC is amazing. They have like 5 5-stars already. Pete Carroll is ridiculous and although some may argue they are a little sketchy about their recruiting, the NCAA hasn't busted them yet (as a team, Reggie Bush is a bit different)

QUOTE (scenario @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 09:40 AM) I like him. I'm very encouraged by his increase in walks this year. IMO it suggests he is improving his plate discipline and batting eye. And with his power, that is a very good thing. The result isn't just a nice bump in OBP (up to .354), it's showing up in a nice increase in doubles (on pace for 40+) and homeruns (on pace for around 25) as well. The combination of increases in both power and OBP is a very good sign. So far, it has translated into a 75pt increase in OPS this year (.894) over last year (.819). He's a young 22 (turned in February). I don't see any reason to write him off as "only a bench player". Way too early to make a determination like that when he's performing well, at an appropriate age, in high A-ball. (He was selected for the Carolina League all-star team.) Next year, at Birmingham, should tell us alot more about his chances. I think the fact that he was picked for the Futures Game this year also suggests other people think he has better than reserve potential. Was he? I thought it was just Richard and Getz.

Thought this would be a fun little task, so go for it... So this is how it goes: has to be a current minor leaguer, recent Sox draft pick or current major leaguer. C - A.J. Pierzynski (He'll be 35, but I think he'll still be the catcher, showing no signs of wearing down yet. Plus, nothing in the Sox organization screams starter at catcher) 1B - Nick Swisher (great D, great personality, he will hit enough and Sox cult hero) 2b - Gordon Beckham (Sexi lexy forces him to second base where he is a all-star) SS - Alexei Ramirez (might never put up MVP numbers, but will be a solid starter for a while) 3B - Juan Silverio (super stud will move to 3B as Alexei is at SS, if he can play SS, he can probably be a third baseman, arm strength no problem here) LF - Carlos Quentin (Stud, no need to say more) CF - Jordan Danks (I am assuming he signs, which is clearly no guarentee, but he has the tools to be a Grady Sizemore-type player if he develops, but still should be a solid starter and great defender) RF - Jose Martinez (probably the best offensive prospect the Sox have, he could be great or dissapear and never be heard of again, but I am guessing he will succeed) DH - Brandon Allen (Debated Dye here, but he will be old, Allen is a DH prospect who will hit for HRs, okay average and strikeout a ton. Ryan Howard developed late, too. Just saying...) SP - Danks (lefty will be the Sox ace for the next decade) SP - Floyd (he is learning to pitch still, but he is still a very good looking youngster) SP - Poreda (Won't develope into an Ace, but his fastball and enough secondary pitches make him a solid mid-rotation starter) SP - Buehrle (still holding down the fort) SP - Harrell (toughest pick for me, no one in 08 draft intriguied me enough, Richard would be the fourth lefty and I don't think he will be a great ML starter and Harrell is still coming back from his surgery, but he is a groundball machine with good stuff.) CL-Jenks (still going strong) Thoughts? Suggestions? Your own 2012 White Sox?

I didn't make a list, but my top 5 would be (in order): 1. Seinfeld 2. Family Guy 3. Late Show with David Letterman (would that count?) 4. Simsons (the middle years) tie 5. the Office tie 5. Scrubs

Thorty gets next inning too. He is amazing.

Thorton time. This inning has me very nervous with A-Ram on deck.

Boone you da man.

Thank god Edmonds has Konerko speed right now.

Boone = dominate Fontenot and Fuk.

That was close, but probably nicked the corner.

Javy's fastball is like high 80s right now.

Pray that he doesn't do some big damage here.

Wow we really want Soto his a bomb before we bring in a reliever.
