What a game! Gavin pitched his ass off tonight.

Gavin!! Rios!! Bullpen!! Jenks!! Way to beat the Walgreens Nationals!

The Sox have a handful of guys that love hitting fastballs. Having watched Strasburg, that's how they will have to get hits against him. His curveball is ridiculous. I don't see him going deep into the game either. If the Sox can eek out 2 or 3 runs against him and get to the bullpen by the 7th, there's a chance. Win tonight and it makes a series win much more realistic.

It matters that he sucks. There was some discussion a while back about the fact that Quentin was on pace for 93 RBIs while batting barely .200. That is a hard .200, and he's making it count. But imagine if he was batting .260 and had another 5 or 6 HRs and another 8-10 RBIs. I see the point though regarding his good hitting with RISP. But overall, yeah, he's not doing well.

His moods can affect the phase of the moon.

Paulie will get a hold of one of those fastballs and send it deep.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 11:24 AM) When you suck his dick, it feels like he's sucking your dick. Not sure I've ever heard that one on the radio.

His busines card just says, "I'll call you".

Anyone know anything about this rookie pitcher?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 08:45 AM) Someone posted last night, the SP has like a 2.00 ERA over the last 10 starts or something. That's the reason they're winning, and it has nothing to do with anything else. There has been some timely hitting, and Jenks has been sharp...but yes, the main reason the Sox are winning is the SP.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 07:38 AM) This should end the Jones or Kotsay experiments when Teahen comes back. If he can hit .200 he is doing better than those two... One would hope...but remember who the manager is.

The new banner is awesome!

I don't know. I'm as excited as the next guy about the run as of late, but we are playing some bad NL teams. I hope that the winning ways will be contagious and carry on into the following weeks. However, I do not see an acqusition of a big bat anytime soon, and when Teahen comes back, he'll be patrolling the left side of the infield.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 02:38 PM) Peavy isnt going to the DL. He is pitching tomorrow...they said it. He will pitch tomorrow,its just an arm thingy...no big deal. oaewnpvnqeprvnqienvq Really, man. I'm worried.

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) I'm random ..anything else is BORINGGG!! Any thread I have is going to bounce around from topic to topic ..I don't feel like clogging Soxtalk up with a bunch of different random subjects ..so I just ask my random Q's wherever I want!! LOL I can respect that. Okay...Classic Rock, I've always been a fan of Queen I don't listen to a lot of new music, but I'm a big fan of Rusted Root.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) All signs point to Peavy going to the DL Omninous music or fanfare?

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 01:40 PM) OK ...NOW I am interested to learn more about you guys!!! ...Favorites bands/groups?!?!?! Mine = Guns N Roses!! ..Lately my truck has played nothing but Salt-N-Pepa though ...AND I just noticed that both of those are groups with "N" in the name ..odd!! Sounds like we need a new thread.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 11:56 AM) Mark Buehrle! Oh jeez. I knew that. I was all confused and flustered about the whole Peavy thing.

QUOTE (maggliopipe @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 11:34 AM) The wife and I went to last night's game and are going tonight as well. PNC Park is everything it's made out to be; just a gorgeous ballpark. I've got a lot of sympathy for the poor Buccos fans though. They seem knowledgable and passionate for having stomached 18 straight seasons. Having grown up in Pittsburgh I can tell you that it's a very passionate sports town. The fans there have a lot to be excited about with the Steelers and Penguins, and a lot to be really pissed off about with the Pirates. It amazes me that they get as many fans as they do to their games. You'd think that the luster of the early 90's would have worn off by now...and maybe it has. The ownership of that team hasn't done much good.

Floyd going tonight?

I would predict moderate improvement. BA .253 ERA 4.35

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 09:54 AM) White Sox aren't cutting a major deal to sell right now. Question is...are they cutting a major deal to buy?
