QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 06:21 PM) OC swung at all balls there. He could of walked 6 times....and why was that pitch to AJ a strike?

why doesnt chip just say..." go Red Sox"

little hope? last time i checked were 1/2 game out.

this is not fun anymore. we have no pitching

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 02:11 PM) Well, I would guess the best we could do is someone who is fatally-flawed, like Joey Gathright. Maybe Rocco Baldelli? We can just be happy that KW wasn't ever very serious about acquiring Andruw Jones or Gary Mathews, Jr. Pitching, pitching, pitching...back in 2000/01, we had "waves and waves" of pitchers on the horizon, and the only ones that "took" were Garland and Buehrle. Think about it...Rauch, Parque, Ginter, Myette, Danny Wright, Brian West, Lorenzo Barcelo, etc. Now we've had two more first rounders (Broadway and McCullough) basically fail to make much of an impact...so it's not a surprise we're in this position, and, no, I don't think Gio Gonzalez was ready to lead us to the playoffs either. Essentially, the White Sox had to have everything break right for them this season...and that was the case for 2/3rd's of the year, with Floyd and Danks pitching better than anyone could have conceived (outside of the front office) and Ramirez and Quentin playing like All-Star/MVP candidates despite both essentially being rookies. While this White Sox line-up remainds dangerous, and has the pitching at the front to make a run in the playoffs if everyone was on fire simultaneously, I just don't see how things can hold up for another 50 games. Over the last two months, I've been looking over my shoulder waiting for the Twins to catch us, yet not believing it was possible, with the losses of Liriano, Hunter, Santana, Cuddyer, etc. It seems they are always better than their statistics...maybe they are due to cool off though, they're batting well over .300 with RISP, which is first in the majors. That's the kind of statistic that doesn't hold up forever. I keep waiting for that young starting rotation to show some cracks in the foundation, but it has been our rotation that has "blinked" first. All that said, we're still only 1/2 game behind and the Twins are about to play the Yankees at home, then go on their longest and most demanding road trip of the year (due to the GOP NC). Rocco was on the team i work for. He was here for about 3 weeks, and trust me we do not want him. He is literally about as slow as Konerko now. He was slower than our first basemen. Hes got a little bit of power, but he runs with a piano on his back. He also doesnt really play the field anymore. He played some games in RF but mostly was our DH. He has a cell disorder, and cant catch his breath. He could do nothing to help us.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:04 AM) Not a chance in hell Second that. Especially with how young Danks and Floyd are.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 02:38 AM) For the love of god people, don't talk about stretching out Carrasco, Russell, MacDougal; searching the waiver wire; throwing Broadway out as the 5th starter; or signing Garcia. Do you want to lose? Poreda. Give him a damn chance, atleast. Three starts, like Richard. That isn't too difficult, is it? I believe he's our best option for replacing Contreras, even if he needs more seasoning. If he fails, then send his ass back down. And I don't even want to hear about ruining him if he does poorly. They dont like rushing top picks...

im not sure if im more mad about losing or that there are more f***ing bandwagon f** red sox fans cheering then sox fans.

we should probably open the 2nd place white sox thread back up asap.

i dont get why he came in the game???? what the f***.... He is the last guy i would of wanted to come in. Tell him to book his flight back to C town

why is boone in?

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 12:18 AM) So, instead of s*** on a cracker once in awhile, you want a whole steaming plate-full huh? Awesome

Lets see if DJ can go 5, could he get a shot at the 5th starter's job?

i hate oc...

Ruptured Achilles Tendon....im guessing season ending

Watching him hit was the funniest thing ive ever seen. Ill always remember him hitting the ball in play and not running it out lol. I love Freedy, and that entire pitching staff from 2005. They were a special group!

Lets do this!!! Bring the A game Javy, no focking walks.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 03:53 PM) White Sox sign Julio Franco to a one year deal. Winner!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 05:25 AM) Well then you're f***ed in the Heads22. And I get the idea of the list... my favorite was AJ Pierzynski. He, however, has been a regular starter for years and a key member of the 05 Championship team, not a backup who never lived up to his hype. Might as well put Joe Borchard... I mean, he even compares him to Aaron Rowand, who had better be #1 on his list if emulating Rowand was worthy of #2 or else it's just stupid. EDIT: This does not mean I dislike Alex, he and I get along great, but BA #2 I had to call that out. This is just a ridiculous post. This isnt the 50 best players in Sox history. If my favorite player was Ron Karkovice becuase i know his son, and know him personally then thats my choice. He wouldnt be my favorite player because of what he does on the field, but regardless would be my favorite player because of our personal connection. Would you roast me? ----That whole story was made up to prove a point.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 03:37 AM) Looking at his imdb pictures, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0188966/ , I'd have to say I'm pretty sure I remember his character and that his scene was one of the best of the film that I actually laughed out loud at. I won't say anymore about his character lest to spoil it, other than I believe he plays a high school student? At least I think that's the guy. There's a ton of characters. Yeap thats him! Thanks dude, cant wait to see it.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 03:14 AM) Saw Pineapple Express and got home in time to catch Bobby close out the 9th. I will admit I'm faster to come on here after a loser than a winner, but that's just to see what people say. I consider myself a positive Sox fan. Let's make it a sweep tomorrow! My buddy is in that movie. He plays a small role i think, in the movie his name is Ack. Do you remember him at all? Im going to see it friday

2 in a row.... Can you feel it calling in the air tonight?

He is a ball of energy for this team and i love it!

One of my old friends had a tiny lisp. So i always made him say Wunsch. It was always a good time lol

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 6, 2008 -> 10:56 PM) How the hell could you not play AJP tonight? 14 inning game
