I can't even see a bad Frank being worse than what we have right now. I think he'll be a welcomed addition to the '05 lineup.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 27, 2005 -> 10:00 AM) It also seems to me that he regularly visits a kid who wrote to him, who has the same disease as his kid... I can't remember details, but I think it was Pujols... anyone else remember this? Yeah, there was a story on that just last week. He does a lot for kids with down-syndrome.

Happy Birthday Big Hurt! Hope to see you back with the big club ASAP!

Have a good one Jim!

Have a good one!

QUOTE(jamalmanburg @ May 26, 2005 -> 02:33 PM) What's with the late start time? I thought this was supposed to be a getaway day. BRUTAL. It's a 7 pm start in California. Nothing strange about that.

I like this power ranking. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/standings?ty...rder=false&st=2

QUOTE(3E8 @ May 26, 2005 -> 12:45 PM) Are we thinking of the same guy? I think he has a career ERA against us over 6. In 21.2 innings pitched against the ChiSox, Lackey is 1-2 w/ a 6.23 ERA. In 3 innings pitched against LAA, the Count is 0-1 w/ a 21.00 ERA.

Good story. I wish I got hit in the head with a baseball.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 26, 2005 -> 08:10 AM) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?p...powerrank_week8 ESPN proves itself amateurs once again. No reasoning whatsoever, they just jockey people back and forth. Until MLB adopts a BCS system for who makes the playoffs, I wouldn't concern myself with where we are in the power rankings.

We were 19 games over .500 a couple times this season. I want to see us get 20 over tonight.

I really want to see Frank playing back in Chicago, but it wouldn't be horrible if he had to finish his rehab stint. I think it'd be cool to see him play a game or two down in Indy. As it's been said in this thread and the other BMac threads, I agree with Ozzie. BMac needs to be pitching every 5th day and get his starts.

I bet that Gooch/Shingo one will be good.

Have a good one!

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 24, 2005 -> 12:11 PM) We are doing great, but I'm not just going to sit here and say it's okay that we got shutout by Ervin Santana. I think if you just listen to some of what people are saying, a lot of it is true, a lot of it is bulls***, but there are some good points being made in this thread. You've gotta find a healthy balance of not slurping the Sox too much and not ripping too much. Too many posters are on one side or the other. That's what bothers me. I'm not happy with everything that's taken place this season so far. However, when you come to Pale Hose Talk, there's a lot more negative than positive on the board right now. I don't really see how that makes sense, when we have the best record in baseball. People need to realize the season goes well past the month of May, and find that happy medium.

It seems you guys expect wayyyy too much a lot of the time. It's as if you expect that we' should still be batting in the bottom of the 1st of the April 4th Opening Day game. After Buehrle, pitched a 3 pitch 1-2-3 inning, of course.

Like the rest of the 2004 Indians offense, flukes?

This has been in the news for a little bit now. I guess no one posted it, because none of us believed it. It's becoming more and more of a fact. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2064904

I haven't had a pop in like 4 years.

Today's Bartolo's birthday. The Sox need to make sure it's not a happy one.

I can't imagine what you guys would be doing if we were any other team in MLB. We're playing the best ball in the league, and look how apes*** you guys go. It's still only May. Buy some ritalin.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 23, 2005 -> 11:33 PM) The word is out on this team. We will try to pull anything thats on the outer half. All that pitchers are doing to us now is painting the s*** out of the outside corner and its f***ing working. You guys wonder why we can't score? So we should pack it in? Call it a season right?

QUOTE(CubKilla @ May 23, 2005 -> 11:30 PM) 13+ ERA going into tonights game. "Best" team in baseball should be able to do something offensively other than Iguchi and Konerko Nice of you to make an appearance on a night like this.
