I'll take Aaron. 1-Dog was a great CF, but Rowand will run through walls to get a ball.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) If you've ever driven out to Colorado on I-80, Nebraska just kinda feels like death. It just doesn't end either. Done that drive many times, and I seriously can't tell the difference between Iowa and Nebraska. The only thing that stands out during that drive is the giant Indian memorial overpass they have in Nebraska. Come to think of it, up until you get to the Quad Cities, the drive through Illinois ain't much different.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 03:27 PM) Hawk said "and Konerko makes the catch for a WS winner", but DJ did say Blum. Didn't hear DJ say it. Guess he's off the hook.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 03:22 PM) You have to wonder how Blum feels about this... Here he is one of the biggest heros of the game and no one notices... On the radio post game show they said Konerko like 3 times... Can't be good for his confidence... He's a utility infielder. I'm sure he's used to it.

Not only did Hawk and DJ fail to realize that it was Geoff Blum playing first in the 9th inning last night, apparently the good folks over at the NYTimes didn't notice this either: New York Times - Yankees Blinded by Flashy Contreras Geoff Blum =

QUOTE(sti3 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 03:09 PM) Did any other series in the AL have SCOTT HARPER or THE PUNCH? I love that chimp.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) For those 3 reasons alone Hawk is being a complete hypocrite for saying this series isn't that big. That was my whole point. We all know it's a big series. In the grand scheme of things, this series ISN'T that big. And Hawk is right. But is it great to beat the Yankees? Hell yes! Was I pacing around my living room and throwing things while watching that 9th inning? I sure was. Close games are exciting, even when they don't matter a whole lot. Cut the guy some slack.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) It also means that Pk won't see anything to hit....... And AJ batting 3rd?? Please. Well, Pauly managed to get 2 hits yesterday while not seeing anything to hit. I'm willing to bet that where Timo bats will have little to no bearing on the outcome tonight...as it did last night.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 08:52 PM) This will be the 1st game all year that i won't be watching. So, if Timo wasn't batting 5th, you'd watch? Don't you think you're going a little overboard?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 02:10 AM) This is what to worry about in the playoffs. El Duque holds the yanks to 3 runs and still loses because we cant hit their pitching. Our margin for error is nill. I would rather have Joe Borchard up instead of Timo in the 5th spot. And that is saying something. Ummm....Timo wasn't the problem tonight. If I remember correctly, he had two hits.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 02:08 AM) Don't forget Sturtze He doesn't count.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 02:08 AM) That was not Hunter, it was Leslie Nielsen. You mean Enrico Palazzo?

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 02:06 AM) Well that was Pathetic............We hold The Yanks to just 3 runs in Yankee Stadium, and we lose I blame Mussina, Gordon and Rivera.

I'd say Mariano is due to suck.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 01:59 AM) You mean you don't want to watch Kurt Kittner at QB? Nope. I'm more of a Ryan Dinwiddie kinda guy. Ryan Dinwiddie

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 01:54 AM) They got mariano in the ninth its over just accept that and go watch the bears game Preseason football... :sleep

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) If Timo hits against Rivera i will be VERY pissed. Ozuna should lead it off. Rivera is lights out against LH's Common. It'll be the 9th inning. Its TIMO TIME!

Well, we've come back on him before. It doesn't look good, but I ain't giving up yet (thats if we can hold them to a 1 run lead).

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 01:47 AM) We should be able to put more than 2 runs up against the Yanks banged up pitching staff. On any other night, I'd agree with you. But tonight we're gonna see Mussina, Gordon and Rivera. Those three are still healthy, and still tough to hit.

QUOTE(MarlinFan84 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 05:25 PM) New here. How is everyone doing? I am from Southern Illinois, am a Marlins fan, and just figured I'd try a new message board out. And Mark Buerhle came to my front door one day when he got his truck stuck down in the bottoms where he and his bud were hunting and we had to pull him out. Welcome aboard! By the way, I'll always hold a soft spot in my heart for the Marlins. Your guys saved me from a lot of grief in 2003.

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 03:58 PM) No you're right it wouldnt be that hard.........it would be IMPOSSIBLE if the Sox ONLY go .500 from here, Detroit would have to go 38-12 the rest of the way. Good luck if they could pull that one off I think you mean Cleveland. Either way, back to the point. The fact of the matter is that having a great regular season does not guarantee national respect. I think that we have a great team, but we have to at least win a playoff series before we can get the same respect as Oakland, Boston, Anaheim, New York, etc. If we win a series or two in the playoffs, I guarantee that we'll be get that respect next year.

This article was in the Sun-Times not too long ago.

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) thread hijacked: My favorite quotes of the movie - You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us. It's science. - Go f*** yourself San Diego "Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel." Anything said by Steve Carrell in that movie was pure gold!

Alan Embree? Hideo Nomo? Al Leiter? Shingo Takatsu? Ain't it funny how the Yankees have become the baseball equivalent to Victory Auto Wreckers? "Do you have old, beatup s*** that you're not using? We'll take it!"

Imagine my surprise after being told that we lost by a Cub fan co-worker. GOOCH!
