QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 10:41 PM) Please enlighten me. Was there a rather infamous thread on this already? If you dont know then dont worry about it. Thats a really sore spot around here.

Even though they're from the north side the Smashing Pumpkins are pretty high up on my list.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) Uh oh. This thread looks very familiar. At least he didn't bump that thread.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 10:29 PM) a nice win, but I didn't gain any satisfaction out of it when I see Javier Vazquez and Freddy Garcia pitching well again is when I'll start feeling good c'mon Javvy, it's time to step it up tomorrow Wins are always satisfying but you're right. Freddy and Javvy need to step up their games a notch or 2.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 10:09 PM) Jon has a great year after many average years, signs a big contract and just comes out of the gate pitching horrible. When that happens you're going to alienate some fans. ^^^^^^^^ DING!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 10:09 PM) I have no faith at all in Vasquez or Garcia.....I think Buehrle will be fine though, and that Garland is now fine, and Jose of course is Jose. I honestly hope we trade Vasquez (or Garcia I guess, but I'd rather dump Javy, who's been bad for a lot longer, as in a few years) for something nice and put B-Mac in the rotation, he's ready and Vasquez could bring something nice in return. The only guy on our staff that Im dead set against right now is Vazquez. He's a headcase just like Zambrano except he can't pitch nearly as good. When you have a guy losing his mind as soon as he makes 1 mistake thats a serious problem.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:56 PM) No one has b****ed about Garland in quite a while and deservedly so, it still doesn't forgive him for being useless in April, horrid in May and pathetic for half of June. Though all in all it's great to see Garland finally comming around after being pretty bad for 2.5 out of 3.5 months this season. Holy s*** Kalapse that is the funniest sig Ive seen in my whole time posting here.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:59 PM) Yes, and hopefully we see 2nd half Kenny Rogers on Thursday. Their staff is very good, but they are not as good as they've pitched this year, no way. They only have 2 starters on that staff that have ever pitched more than 200 innings. It's going to be interesting to see how their arms hold up in the second half and down the stretch. Also, our staff is not nearly as bad as they have been lately.........no way.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:28 PM) LMFAO!!!!!!! I saw that one coming.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:26 PM) I would discourage the use of pictures though, particularly if it is your own fecal matter. I like pushing the envelope here but that's a little much, even for me.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:24 PM) Eat Feces Tigers just does not have the same effect. LOL!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:20 PM) I'd go a step further with that list. Brands to trust/reliable: Toyota/Scion Honda/Acura Nissan Lexus Infiniti Subaru to some extent as well Bad/not very reliable: Ford Ford = Fix Or Repair Daily Id like to submit Chrysler models to the reliable list also. Ive owned 3 different Dodge or Jeep vehicles in my driving days and they all have performed very well.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:11 PM) THANK YOU JON!!! Finally someone acted like a pitcher. JG just gave us the key game to this series. We can't get swept, and we still have 1 of our "aces" coming up to pitch on Thursday. We get a good game out of Jittery Javy tomorrow, and then Detroit starts seeing Jose's forkball. And maybe just as importantly, the guys from Detroit have to hear another night of "Why can't you beat these guys, even when they're losing". Garland has quietly been putting together a nice run lately. Its good to see him return to 2005 form.

I dont think anyone major gets dealt. This is more or less the same team that won it all last year and I think KW is gonna let em make their run at it again without anymore moves. If we somehow fail to make the playoffs or have an early exit though you can look for some offseason moves.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) Friendly neighborhood mod here. 1. We have already discussed that the ethnic spelling/speech on the boards (i.e "Joo know wha?" etc.) is prohibited. 2. The whole concept of "eat s***" is entirely childish and really takes away from legitimate baseball discussion. Please refrain from using it because it is in violation of the policy. It takes a lot to have the mods/admins here come down on anybody. Don't choose the behavior that forces us to come down on posters. Thanks. Read PM. QUOTE(Reddy @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:05 PM) whoa whoa seriously? i thought kap said that the occasional eat s*** was ok... but maybe i misheard that too... I already discussed this with Jas. Its fine.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 05:42 PM) Ya know, I don't know where you go to school, but your posts have New Trier written all over them. I used to throw pennies at people when I was in HS and I went to Bogan.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:02 PM) pssst NUKE, we just lost 5 of 6 to the Bosox and the Yanks... i wouldnt bring this up quite yet! Thats ancient history.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jul 17, 2006 -> 06:36 PM) I don't really fear any other team. The only thing I fear is our pitchers not getting it together. If we play up our abilities, no one can match us. This is the only post I read in this whole thread and it sums up everything perfectly.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:56 PM) Well done all around. We need to sweep these assclowns, we'd only be 1 out (in the loss column, which is what matters) and plus, the Tigers don't scare me.....except when they are playing anybody but us. We need to give these guys as many losses as we can. Great stat brought up in chat...... Tigers are 25-21 against winning teams and 37-9 against sub 500 teams. Notice a pattern emerging here?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:57 PM) And thats a Hell No!

QUOTE(Bonderman38 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:55 PM) Great game by the Sox. Looks like I may be off this board for a week.. I thought that "eat s***" era was supposed to be going away.. Wont be missed.

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:51 PM) JON f***IN GARLAND and if i knew how to do an upsidedown one of these ^ i would do quite a few \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Slashies rule!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) Didn't see any of the game, but it was a great boost to come home and see the final score. Nice to see PK break out of his slump, as KW said the flu was really "kicking his ass" over the wknd. He sure made Robertson and Grilli sick tonight. LOL!

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:42 PM) eat s*** is a tradition man, gotta love it Indeed......and it's not going anywhere.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) :headshake Seriously great game... Garland was amazing... but this phrase needs to die a quick threat... It makes people think your like 12... Not even worthy of a response.
