QUOTE(Yossarian @ Sep 3, 2007 -> 09:30 PM) I can't speak for anyone else, but I live close to Charlotte, and reluctantly concur about the negative assessments of Broadway and Phillips. Broadway underwhelms, has control problems, looks to me like he has a low ceiling. Phillips regressed this year, and is getting "old" as prospects go. We're all Sox fans here, young and old, liberal, conservative and apolitical. No one wants to be the harbinger of gloom, the cupboard just looks awful bare all across the Sox farm system. Very solid post.

I hope your drunk.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Sep 2, 2007 -> 08:51 PM) Winston-Salem won 4-1 in 10 despite 19 Ks for the offense I'm sorry but even though he is not our prospect, David Hernandez (Baltimore spect) really was impressive. 9 IP 3 H 1 R 1 ER 0 BB 18 SO. God damn..

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 2, 2007 -> 12:50 AM) T.I. at the Rave this Thursday, Bone Thugs the following Wednesday and Common a couple Saturdays from today (well, yesterday). I. am. pumped. Cool points went up 20x in my book.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 09:38 PM) There I am, hanging in a dear friend's apartment in Uptown. We're talking about life and relaxing. We'd spoken before about how she needs to see Wrigley Field. (I think it's a beautiful park, the more I go there, and it's a great place to go, IMO, except for the team and fans, but that doesn't bother me too much.) Suddenly I say, "Let's go," and we wound up getting there at the start of the fifth inning. We wound up in the third row, in the club section, right behind the Cubs bullpen. There's Kerry Wood, ten feet in front of me. Ohman. Howry. Dempster. And so we sit there, relaxing, enjoying the day and chit-chatting about baseball. Mocking the Cub fans. Laughing when they chant "Asshole! Asshole!" at Carlos Lee. Cheering Lee for his double and scoring. Enjoying the game though we're losing and I think we're going to lose. And then the eighth starts and I say to D., "I'm going to try and heckle Dempster into a blown save. If I get us kicked out, will you be mad?" Laughter. "No, but, be careful." "Well, I'm not going to threaten his life or anything." So I start when he gets up. First with You Sucks and then Your Team Sucks, First Place or Not and then all sorts of variations on "You Suck." Just screaming at him between pitches for the whole eighth inning and when the Cubs had two outs in the ninth I yelled at him, "It's almost time for you to suck, Dempster. But I guess there's always time to suck when you're Ryan Dempster!" ("That guy's harsh," said a Cub fan behind me.) There were these skinny, so-skinny-they're-somewhat-sickly-IMO girls in front of us and they hated me. So when I'd yell they'd meekly say, "Go Ryan!" and I'd yell louder that he's awful, "I don't care what your save percentage says, you're a fluke." And when he was leaving he shot me a dirty look. Gave me a dirty look a couple of times. I'd like to believe that I heckled Ryan Dempster into giving up a homerun to Carlos Lee that left the park. A friend of mine in Boston says he heckled Billy Koch into blowing a save. That was my inspiration, and I've never been that close to The Enemy's Bullpen at any park (I often sit behind the Sox dugout in the Cell) so I had to seize the dog. I want you to screw me... Right here on the jagged rocks.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 09:32 PM) 5-10, 130.5 Damn your skinny. I'm only 5'7-5'8 but I weigh 165-170. (Alittle chubby but easily could lose if i wasn't lazy ) But I should talk, I weighed only 100 lbs. (5' even) my sophmore year in High School. This is the fattest I've ever been in my life.

I didn't watch this game (work) but it's a shame I saw that we only had 4 hits and Owens had 2 of them. And even Uribe.. wow.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 09:14 PM) He better be. We're going to need it. And I know he is the only prospect your excited about and already giving him your standards for him in the future.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 09:11 PM) Baltimore is freaking pathetic. Losing 30-3 and being no hit in less than 2 weeks is impressive. I wonder what that would say about us considering we have a worse record.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 09:10 PM) Pfft. It's been done before and at a younger age. IMHO, Phillip Hughes would have done it also if he didn't get hurt.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 07:59 PM) DLS Here is our Clay Buchholz.

He has a nasty.... NASTY hook.

He did it.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 09:02 PM) My man Markakis better hit a homer. Sorry bro. I already got dibs on him and Hamels.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 08:45 PM) Buchholz with a no-hitter for Boston through 8... I really hope he doesn't get this. If he does get this, all you will hear on ESPN for the next year is how Clay Buccholz is the best pitcher in baseball and should win the cy young award this season. It's a damn shame we could have had him.

Very nice Knight. But it will always need more Reed.

I sense a man hate from somewhere in the sox brass for Jason Bourgeois.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 31, 2007 -> 04:52 PM) Ozzie Guillen is a Latino LaRussa. Or Billy Martin.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 31, 2007 -> 04:52 PM) Go D-Rays! ^^^^^^^ Yea that.

Scott Moore could be a diamond in a rough. Just two years ago he was considered one of their best spects.

Owens blows and we finally lose.

Not over yet. Mench is up.

It's up to Hart. C'Mon Hart!!
