BAHAHAAA...a PHOTO FINISH. Who will win.

Does it get any more exciting than this.

He'll begin a rehab assisgnment in Winston Salem tonight and is expected to play.

Koboyashi has came back and tied it up.

Getting closer to the moment where the stamina comes into play. Chestnut was dominating but Kobo is closing in.

"He's the Teamu Selanne of Salami"

OMG...the announcers are great. "I wouldn't be surprised if Chestnut and Kobayashi go at a 10-11 dog a minute early on. They'll attack those dogs early on like Lindsey Lohan attacks a mini-bar."

Javy was absolutely tremendous. About the only bad pitch he made was the one Cust hit out. The pitch hit out by Murphy was not a bad pitch. Elevated fastball and Murphy just swung real hard and hammered it.

Ya, I thought that it worked out pretty cool. Mark pushed for these uni's and he's going to get to throw a shutout while wearing em

Chestnuts entering his prime years of MLE at the ripe age of 24.

I need to buy the MLE (Major League Eating) game for the Wii, LOL.

Only a few minutes away from Chestnut vs Kobayashi the Rematch.

Donald Sterling will have to possibly pay the luxury tax as the Golden State Warriors have now offered Brand a max contract (which will pay him more than the Clippers offer).

Thats a lot of scratch.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 09:40 AM) Frankly, I'm much, much less worried about Gavin Floyd's workload this year than I am Danksy's. Gavin's thrown 170 and 176 innings the last 2 years between the minors and the big leagues, and he's 2 years older than Danks so his arm has been seeing solid workloads for a while now. There's no reason why we need to plan to give him time off like we ought to do for Danks. We'd actually be pretty smart if we tried to push Floyd to get around 200 innings this year, because if we can get him to that point this year then it's entirely possible we'll have his arm readily conditioned to be one of those classic 200 inning per year guys for the next few years. Completely agree with you on Floyd. It appears that he had a bit of a dead arm period which he's pitched through (his velocity was up his last outing) and hopefully we'll be able to get him right around the 200 inning mark. Of course you also have to remember if we hit post-season play you are adding a bit more innings as well (and hopefully we will be )

Fidel lives!!!

Wow...Ridiculous.

Will Smith usually has a certain charisma about him that almost no matter what I'll leave the theatre having enjoyed the flick. Originally I didn't want to see this movie, but the previews were so damn entertaining.

Its a moot point anyway, Brand is gonna be on the Clippers who assuming everyone is healthy will be a pretty damn fun team to watch.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 11:59 PM) except for the $2-3 million you'd have to throw at him I guess the question is, 2-3 million at Garcia or 2-3 million at some international prospects (or maybe some of that slotted towards Kyle Long). I personally could see a need at the starting spot considering how at some point we are going to have to skip some starts from some of the young guys (or at least piggy-back them with someone else). However, the Sox could easily turn things over to Clayton Richard or Lance Broadway and take there chances there (too bad Broadway has been in a funk lately because if he was still cruising I would be all about letting Garcia do his thing elsewhere and just know that worse case scenario we'll rely on Lance for a few starts; I say a few starts, because if someone actually went down, at that point Kenny would probably have to look at the trade market).

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Jul 1, 2008 -> 08:58 PM) Well, the original poster was comparing the two pitchers in their careers, or at least I thought he was. Him pointing out that Garcia's 4.09 ERA wasn't a massive upgrade over Vazquez's 4.29 ERA. I took that to mean that Garcia wasn't all that much better than Vazquez during their career. I disagree with that. Garcia was much better. I said I would take a healthy Garcia (i.e. Garcia of 2004 - 2005) over Vazquez and then added that it was doubtful Garcia was healthy now. As much as people talk about Javy's great stuff, I'll take Garcia in his prime over Javy. The key is Javy has thus far had a longer career so to speak, which you have to give him credit for. You can also say that Javy may have had a better career had he spent the early part of his careers pitching in a pitchers heaven (Safeco) and playing for a good team (as opposed to playing for the Expos). Still, I remember when the Sox first acquired Freddy and just how absolutely nasty his stuff was. Its too bad he never had full confidence in it and let other teams find ways to beat him because had he pounded the zone with that stuff, he'd have been a perennial 20 game winner on a good club. The one terrible thing about Javy, Jose, and Freddy (Gavin & Danks too) is that they can be beat with minimal hits because a single or walk can easily be turned into a runner on 2nd (cause they all suck horribly at holding runners and having shorter deliveries with runners on; you could say the same about Maddux, but he never ever walked guys).

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 05:34 AM) That would explain his dominance out of the windup. I think he had a bunch of Ks pitching out of the windup in his last outing and he struggled once he walked guys (like the first inning). I think you can also look at the fact that for the past 5 to 6 starts he's been living on the outside part of the plate and usually missing and falling behind. He needs to reclaim the inside part and when he does that he'll be back to being one of the better pitchers in the AL.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 2, 2008 -> 05:24 AM) Here's a random question... With Mack no longer on the club, who is this team's emergency catcher? I don't know why, but I somehow thought it was Pablo Ozuna. Paul Konerko was originally a catcher though, LOL.
