QUOTE(beautox @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:14 AM) I'm pretty sure Mackowiak can play first, i would think McCarthy would be the odd man out and would go back down to AAA to get starts. Then that begs the next question. Who is going to be the long relief man? IMO, they would option Gload first before they do McCarthy. QUOTE(Thunderin @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) Iguchi is DA MAN!!! If you haven't watched the video yet on chisox.com, please check it out, it does bring a smile to your face seeing it.

QUOTE(whitesoxin @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:08 AM) You my friend are in denial. And that's putting it mildly.

Just went on chisox.com, watch the Iguchi grand slam, and its still makin me excited even though we lost. Jon Miller, for once, made a great call on that homer.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 12:52 AM) It's weird, cause I'm getting the same tingle I got last year. **Won't make joke.... won't make joke....**

QUOTE(zoomzoomK @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 12:42 AM) I think its obvious I'm not a "troll", so please don't treat me like I'm an idiot. Trolls say things like: Sox suck, Thome blows, etc... I'm trying to have fun here, just like y'all From what I've seen from your 5 post, your a "hella" poster. (gotta get use to me saying a Cartman line) I think you and a couple other tiger fans here will enjoy the board, and there's also a Cardinal, Twin, Marlin fans here too. Some posters here have other teams they like from other sports (Football, Basketball) etc., but what everyone has in common is they all like the Whitesox even if some of those posters are living in different areas/countries. (NY, Australia, etc..)

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 12:25 AM) This is not a $12.5 million pitcher. I'll give you this statement since your factoring in the $$$ Now that's just plain ignorant. So I guess the Brew Crew is also a minor league team since KC just swept them? I'm not making any excuses for Javier. He hasn't pitched to his ability yet but since he had a horrid start today, several of you wait till now to bash him? Like I said before if he had a 6+ 0-1R start this thread would be mute. If Garcia would have had a bad start his last game instead of a good one then everyone would have his head. The only starter where I can say deserves any bashing this season is Garland and techincally his last outing, he pitched better than his numbers indicate (bad D behind him) Once Vasquez has his great outing say next time, will this thread be back up? It'll be a back and forth process. Garcia's era before that stellar outing he had was in the 5's. Now it's back to respectable. If your gonna bash someone, be consistant with it.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 12:17 AM) I'd much rather hang onto Vazquez than Garcia or Garland. His stuff is considerably better than the other two, and the money is basically a push when you factor in the money we got from Arizona. His problems are in his head, and you can work with those issues. Contreras was an absolute mess when we got him, and that's turned out great. Give the guy a chance. Until this round through the rotation, he was still pitching considerably better than Freddy and Garland as well. His ERA at the start of the day was 4.46, which is a number we would have killed for from a bottom of the rotation starter 2 years ago. We got a little spoiled last year with all of our starters pitching pretty well most of the year. That doesn't happen very often. For a team that's 49-26 and was 3rd in the AL in runs allowed and 4th in ERA at the start of the day, people sure b**** about our pitching a lot. Excellent post. One of the rare ones that made sense on this thread. QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 12:18 AM) 4.43 actually. Ah even better. Thank you.

QUOTE(drowninginflame @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 12:14 AM) Just got home, great game and free seats too bad we lost You my friend, are a loyal fan.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 12:06 AM) 1 bad start? He's been pretty brutal for a while. For a while ey... And yet you guys waited all this time to finally say that he's awful doesn't speak volumes for itself? Hmmmm QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 12:10 AM) A 5.00 era on June 26th equals one bad start? :lol: Don't give me that s*** cause comming into this game his era was like 4.52 or so. If he have a 6+ 0-1R game this thread wouldn't even be up here. That is my point.

Interesting.....

Boy this is soxtalk for ya. Make one bad start and your in the doghouse. I wonder when Buehrle gives up like 10 runs will people jump him too? I would expect alot of posters here who are jumping on Vasquez (except Aboz who will never bash Buehrle) to do the same with Buehrle.

The water bottle!!! why couldn't he save the water bottle?!

Man.. looking at some of the boards around, they cannot believe what we almost done. We must be feared.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 11:37 PM) Indeed. I thought the loss against Cleveland was the best I'd feel after a loss. Now, it's a tie. I was gonna ask that too. I honestly feel this game was a better loss than Clevelands.

Didn't we have a thread already about this? NEVER count out this team. Don't be an idiot. The fans who stayed=class/loyal.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 06:28 PM) Did anyone else hear Ed FLIP OUT after Jon tried to turn the double play on the grounder from Taveras rather than look the runner back from third? I just remembered that and laughed. Don't know if anyone was paying attention but did you see what happened to Wheeler at the end of the game? When he was walking back to the dugout after he gave up the winning hit to Cintron, someone kinda knocked into him then he just basically started cursing right at him. I found that hilarious also.

You know your lineup isn't good when you have Chris f***ing Burke batting 3rd ahead of Berkman.

Has it been 5 games yet for Anderson of is it after this game? After see Rob out there yesterday made me appreciate how much I miss Brian out there.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 05:54 PM) It's obvious that position by position we will have the better players but what does that prove? Great post. Our 03' Sox EASILY had a better overall team than the Twins. (esp. our line-up) Look who was in the playoffs and who stayed home.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 05:52 PM) Really? It makes me appreciate his sense of humor when looking at your face. I.Hate.You

Someone should pin mine and his since he made his first I'll give way.

ESPN game. Oswalt 6-3, 3.32 VS Vazquez 8-4, 4.43 Sox looking for another sweep since the W.S. and first 10 gamer since... forever. Should be a good pitcher's duel.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 04:30 PM) f*** espn! Looking at your picture makes me appreciate how good-looking I am in this world and what god has blessed me with.

2 more outs.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 24, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) Unbelievable. You suck.
