They had the move made and than went back against It. I'd of edited it sooner but have training this week and pretty much zero access to a computer. Anyway closed the thread and pulled the story from FS.

He is starting today....100% on that

I'm doubling back. Tuesday is looking like the day again.

ATO: Bobby Jenks and Lubisich to Charlotte; Gio to Winston Salem By Jason Gage June 19, 2005 FutureSox.com The first half of the minor league season came to an end on Sunday. All four of the Sox affiliates failed to make the playoffs in the first half, but will be making moves in the coming days to help regroup and to hopefully give at least some of the teams a better shot at earning a playoff bid during the 2nd half of the season...MORE

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:52 PM) Some did, but not many. I've seen the mass exodus at most Sox games. Most everyone stayed yesterday as well, but that could also be because of the firework show after the game, which I must admit was cool. I was so jacked after AJ's HR.

QUOTE(GASHWOUND @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:56 PM) I was thinking about watching it, but I saw it's all long and s*** and seemed like work to watch it I like thinks like the old west and s***, so maybe I'll catch it on the rebound.. maybe if it had an Egyptian pharaoh in it i would've watched I figured with you liking deadwood and all that you would of been way into this. This blows deadwood away, imo, but it doesn't have all the "cocksuckers" that deadwood has. I watched like 15 minutes of Deadwood and I swear they said cocksucker 100 times

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:53 PM) Shoes. I probably have at least 30 pairs. And I probably only have 5 or 6 pairs in my regular rotation..... But I only buy them on Clearance less than $20. Oh my god....you hit a spot with me. My girlfriend lives with 3 other girls and below their staircase they keep all their shoes. It must be a pad about 10 by 10 stacked 3 rows high. Never in my life have I seen so many damn shoes. I was in shock....could you imagine how high of a shoe building all the women in the world could build if they simply stacked all their shoes on top of one another. Ya, totally random thought, but it just goes great with my 1 pair of shoes (for a suit) my pair of dress shoes (to wear with jeans or slacks...non suit), my pair of sandals (rainbows rule), my pair of basketball shoes, and than my tennis shoes (for everyday wear). All this talk about shoes reminds me of that South Park metrosexual episode. God that was great how pissed off Mr. Garrison gets

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) Little from low-A to AAA? Am I missing something? Organizational move. Or thats my guess.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:48 PM) I'm hoping the best for McCarthy, but unless he's magically developed a servicable changeup, or 3 mph on his fastball, it may be a struggle. He's essentially a two pitch pitcher: plus curveball, straight low 90's fastball. With these soft tossers, if you don't have good location up/down, inside/outside, you will be hit hard. Perhaps a start against the lowly Kansas City Royals will be just what is needed for his confidence. However, both of his starts, most noticeably in Texas, hard hit outs were recording throughout his innings pitched . If Sergio Mitre can string together two quality starts, anyone should be able to. You'd think by accident some pitcher from our minor leagues within 5 years would experience immediate success. And we don't even need a complete game, 10 K shutout--just enough to keep our team in the game. Brandon has more than a serviceable changeup, problem was it wasn't utilized his first time up. The changeup is one of the big reasons he dominated during spring training. In fact his curveball wasn't even working that well in Arizona, so once he gets rolling you'll see him whipping out a good to plus curve and a good to plus changeup along with his FB which is a good pitch (based on his command and the downward plane he gets). I also get the feeling you'll see the changeup a little bit more this time around.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) They should get some live performances in there. They really had the song working during this Dodger series and I think it would be great after every Sox winner. Ya, it was awesome. I told boz at one point in the game that the Song would help spark the comeback against Brazoban (well something along those lines). Lucky for you guys it did, otherwise I'd be blaming you for a loss on Saturday It was cool meeting you and asshat. I did love calling his cell going hey asshat

QUOTE(GASHWOUND @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:43 PM) This was the first ep, but it was a re-run...it premiered last WED I think..the next new one is this WED at 9 central and the Shield finale was last week...season is over..kinda lame season finale though in my opinion I think they're re-airing it tomorrow at 9 central and after that I don't see any re-airings.. Freaking mom must of beat me to watching it and erased it after watching it on DVR. She loves to spite me by going in and erasing stuff I have on there I've been watching Into the West (haven't seen this weeks episode yet) but I loved the 1st episode. Its a pretty badass show/movie, imo.

I have a lot of Sox hats that I buy and rarely wear. I always go back to my fall back hats, old school Sox hat, my Bears hat, and my Barons hat.

Was that the first episode? I've been meaning to catch it. Plus you have the Shield (I think its finale is this week??) and than Rescue Me starts back up.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:30 PM) B.J.'s biggest problem is trusting his stuff he thinks he has to throw his Fastball even harder put more bite on his curve when he does not need to. When he goes and "just pitches" he can strike out the best hitters in the league. Great stuff if he just starts to trust it. Hope that helps Thanks, I always enjoy reading your little tidbits. Its just great stuff, I truly appreciate it

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) I guess we can say so much for that garbage about his physical being the best KW has ever seen? That, or KW doesn't know any healthy people. I think we all know that was spin. It had to be. On 2nd thought, enough negativity from me for one night. I'm an optimist/realist and frankly I'm in such a good mood over the whole series. Seeing two wins while in Chicago and than getting home to see come back and beat the Dodgers. Plus Bmac will be in the rotation, WOOT

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) Yeah and he made a hell of a throw, it had no importance, but the play at 2nd was a closer than it should have been on a tough play. Bogu played a ball off the wall, turned, and fired a strike. I've seen quite a few good plays thus far. Tenn got knocked out and Tulane is looking really good, imo. I'm gonna have to record the finals since I'll be doing training for work.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) Did I call it or did I call it? I think your gonna be right with Diz piggybacking with Broadway as well.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:23 PM) He has been pretty bad. I was at his game on Tuesday when he got shelled. He was alright through the first couple of innings, then he just seemed to fall apart. I don't know if it was that injury he has or just him blowing it, but he didn't seem normal. Well I think he's been awful all season, minus one start. He's been insanely lucky, his WHIP has to be amongst the leagues worse (in terms of guys with the amount of starts he's made). You can't keep getting away with that. He's given up way more hits than IP and on top of that has given up a lot of BB's.

Just do it like it was this series. Frank DH's 2 out of 3 while Everett will spell one of the OF's for one game in each series. Play for pods for one game in one series, than play for Dye in another and in another series for Rowand (With Pods in cf). That way your getting Pods/Rowand/Dye starts in pretty much 8 of 9 games, while Everett and Thomas start 2/3 games. Obviously its not quite that easy, but I think its at least the formation to a plan and you mix in who you go with based on certain matchups. As a whole I think it keeps everyone fresh as well as happy (well everyone but Timo).

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:14 PM) Who's spot would you want him to take when El Duque comes back. Shingo and Viz have been doing well lately. The only way i see Brandon staying up here is if we trade a reliever. Who says Duque comes back. I'll worry about that when it happens. I'm the wrong guy to talk to about Duque, I think he's been insanely lucky and hasn't deserved to be in the rotation the past few starts (I hope I'm wrong and he comes back and kicks butt though). I just have zero faith in him.

Hey Bham...I was looking at Lamura's stats and they are filthy. I guess this question is for both of you, but what do you guys think of him. I've seen him pitch but he never looked like the guy that could put up these numbers (always had the arm though). Always seemed to struggle with his command. Has that been the big difference this year and you guys think he's got a shot? Is his curve/slider looking like a plus pitch and has he gotten more consistent with it?

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 08:08 PM) I'm assuming knucklecurve. I believe that is the only curve he throws?? Ya. His knuckle curve is a true 12/6 pitch with a lot of downward action. Personally I'm just glad the velocity is up. I am hoping his command will be the next thing to show and he should start gaining confidence. I am starting to think he's at least on the path back, although he's got a long way to go and is still a non prospect in my book.

Based on Southsiders™ posts for that week, a modest 40 wpm typing skill, 6 hours of sleep per night, communting to work, etc. it left exactly 3 minutes and 12 seconds for sex was it good for her too? remember I kid because I care™ And that would mean he had approximately 3 minutes to smoke a cigarette
