QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 07:13 PM) twins doing this without Hunter and Stewart? impressive. And over the last five years this is a team that has replaced AJ, Ortiz, Mienkie, Rivas, Guzman, Koskie, Jacque Jones, Kielty, Hawkins, Cy Mays, Guardado and others I can't remember. That's impressive, too. pretty strong reminder what two knockout starters, a good pen and a good farm system can do. it probably wont last ... at least this year. they'll be good for years to come, but i think they'll fall back to earth soon.

i love the deal. i'm in the 'they're just prospects' camp and i wanna win. way to go KW, lets finish the puzzle.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:39 PM) Sweeney left his team and joined the White Sox. Its really strange how they do it, but IIRC they do it because of the weather. it's a leftover tradition from when kids were too busy planting farms and such to play baseball, so the season starts later... very outdated, should be changed, but hasnt been.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 21, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) I really like Loyola and UIC. Perhaps DePaul. I don't think I could get it above a 3.0 in time for the application process. I could surely be up by the end of the year, even by January, but applications go out in November/December. This whole things been gnawing at me, and I didn't catch any breaks leading into the June report card. I missed a C in my Math class by .5 percentage points, and the teacher refused to round it up to a C, and that infuriated me, because we were good friends, and, besides that, ".5" difference = ROUND UP. It's simple math, and preached often by math teachers! Besides that, I moved in late May, and on the weekend I moved, she collected a binder worth ten percent of my grade. My mother misplaced iti n a box, and the teacher refused to allow me to turn it in late for a late grade, even after my mom called her to explain the situation. The binder was worth ten percent, and it drastically brought me down. I was furious about it, because I thought it was unnecessarily b****y to take such a hard-line stance on a student who never misbehaved in her class despite the fact that it was a misbehavior class, as she's a soft teacher. Hell, I had a B in the first Semester. I felt she should've been a bit more lenient to me as I've been a consistently good student in her class, and let's not bullspiff ourselves: if a kid handles his work, takes care of business, does well on tests, and behaves, and he happens to be half a point between grades, you give him the better grade. But she didn't do it, and that's really eaten at me. I narrowly missed an A in her class the first time around, by .7 points. I wish she'd rounded up for me then, but I understood it then, and wasn't so upset. A wide variety of unfortunate events brought me down a bit in the second semester of school, and I missed a 3.0 by .1 percent. Bummer. hey man i go to loyola. if you have any questions let me know. (btw LUC is 34k/yr... not much better than 40)

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:07 PM) Guys....I just want to say one thing...lets enjoy this win We had a rough 6 games (losing 5 of em) and its nice to be able to kick back and grab a win, especially against the best team in baseball. amen to that!

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:06 PM) Read PM. I already discussed this with Jas. Its fine. kool kool.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) Friendly neighborhood mod here. 1. We have already discussed that the ethnic spelling/speech on the boards (i.e "Joo know wha?" etc.) is prohibited. 2. The whole concept of "eat s***" is entirely childish and really takes away from legitimate baseball discussion. Please refrain from using it because it is in violation of the policy. It takes a lot to have the mods/admins here come down on anybody. Don't choose the behavior that forces us to come down on posters. Thanks. whoa whoa seriously? i thought kap said that the occasional eat s*** was ok... but maybe i misheard that too...

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 09:00 PM) Great stat brought up in chat...... Tigers are 25-21 against winning teams and 37-9 against sub 500 teams. Notice a pattern emerging here? pssst NUKE, we just lost 5 of 6 to the Bosox and the Yanks... i wouldnt bring this up quite yet!

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:39 PM) Not even worthy of a response. eat s*** is a tradition man, gotta love it

QUOTE(Contreras @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 07:36 PM) Indeed. For Wells, we move Anderson over. We don't move Vernon. Vernon can play CF all he wants. That'd be this lineup, I guess: Iguchi, 2b Crede, 3b Thome, dh Konerko, 1b Wells, cf Dye, rf Pierzynski, c Uribe, ss Anderson, lf Crazy. Never going to happen, but crazy. That would also likely be the best defensive outfield in history. that WHOLE lineup has 20hr potential... wow...

HELL f***IN YEAH!!!

(sorry in advance) EAT s*** TIGGERS!!!!

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:33 PM) What a loser that guy is waving his flag behind homeplate. it's obviously working

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) If McCarthy is going to ever be a starting pitcher you have to let him pitch to batters from both sides of the plate. With two outs and a six run lead, this would have been a pretty good spot to let him refresh his memory that baseball is played from both sides. I am sick of seeing this guy yanked too early. deja vu?

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:27 PM) Ah screw it man. Ozzie has done much to piss me off over the past 4 months. I'm willing to let this pass. BMAC wasn't looking that great out there, he wasn't exactly dominating. three. batters. means. nothing. plus he needs to start having some pressure situations, get used to it againb.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:24 PM) Well, not if the trade happens tomorrow or the next day, for Freddy. He would then be pitching a start in 4 days, on about 4 days rest. no no no my point is how can you expect him to go 5, 6, 7 innings when he hasnt pitched more than 4.1 (his one start discluded) all year?

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:22 PM) Kenny has a trade upcoming to move him into the rotation...? I think anyways. but thats why he should be pitching MORE not less...

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) just leave Mac in...c'mon seriously... dont overthink ozzie f***in A... WHY!????

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) Now we're in trouble.... haha lets roast him!

i feel like scotty almost always strikes out. i know its not really the case... but it feels that way

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 07:42 PM) It was a change. actually you're both wrong. it was a slange.

one more game like tonight (if all continues to go well) and jon is below 5.00 era!

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jul 18, 2006 -> 07:40 PM) THE RALLY CREDE 2005 IS THE RALLY GARLAND OF 2006! perhaps. no. just no. nothing can beat the power of the rally crede (kinda eerie that it still works...)

Big Jon got it going tonight!

RALLY CREDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
