you guys realize the sox have scored 7 runs with only one homerun which was a solo shot by the player of the game.

crede......good job

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:35 PM) Crede, what a season. OBP is a little low, but at the bottom of the order, its acceptable, especially with the higher average and homeruns. Nice. 107 hits 16 walks in 361 ab's (377 if you count walks)

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:34 PM) Wouldn't it be nice if we're the team that hits the big 3 run homer late in the game to break the other team's back? Ortiz did that yesterday....but it was a winner, so it broke the back and cut the head off.

ooh ooh crede's coming up.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 08:17 PM) Well I did not know that "often" equals "all the time" but we'll go with it. He also frequently compliments the umpires on their good and consistent strike zone. But maybe people have the tv sound down and are listening to the radio when he says that. but it's probably inconsistent and bad for the other team. he wouldn't complain then

i would like to be listening to hawk right now.....that would mean i'd be watching the game on television.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 07:33 PM) suck-fest pitchering Yeah....MB has lost something. Velocity or movement or maybe the element of surprise. Has he been figured out....has he become predictable? I dunno, and I hope he can find it and fix it, just for his sake.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 07:33 PM) Catchers had the same catchers as last year too.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 07:31 PM) Sox pitching seems to be somewhat clueless on how to approach hitters this year. cooper???

21 pitches thru one inning.

where'd Mark Buehrle go??? He's been missing for over a month.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 10:06 PM) For the love of God pitch like we know you are capable Mark. he's killed my fantasy team....would love for him to step up and start things off right for the sox.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 09:54 PM) EAT hamburgers ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DONT CARE IF IT'S YOUR HOUSE............YOU AREN'T EVEN FIT TO WASH OUR JOCK STRAPS!!!!!!!! COUNT BATTLES FOR A WIN!!!!!!!!!! CINTRON.....G-LOAD AND CREDE ALL WITH HUGE NIGHTS!!!!!!!!! OUR PLAYOFF RUN STARTS..............NOW GIMMIE A HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hell yeah

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 09:52 PM) DJ read one from Mike Hunt. I think it ended with Mike Hunt.... Yeeesssss!!. wow...fricking hilarious.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 09:42 PM) Dont forget, that Ortiz has Manny hitting behind him. Not too bad for protection. Rolen and Edmonds have been not as good as usual for about a year now. What if you had Pujols hitting behind Papi....or vice versa? Talking about a damn nightmare.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) Pujols close and late: .341/.455/.955 44 AB, 8 HR, 18 RBI Ortiz close and late: .293/.359/.741 58 AB, 8 HR, 20 RBI ummm....pujols

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 01:23 PM) I can't recommend NCAA highly enough. It has entertaining game play, and the Dynasty mode is great to simulate. I've been a fan of the games since they came out and waste hours upon hours on it every damn year. What's great is to get a few guys, start a dynasty and then simulate most of the games except work it out where your teams play once a year. As long as you pick good programs you'll do OK in the simulation, then the head-to-head games hold the key for your season and recruiting Simulate?? I was in a 5 man dynasty with last years NCAA football....We finished eight years from the time it came out until the new one came out.....Played 90% of our games. Fun as hell. only played it once a week...for about 40 weeks or so.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 08:51 PM) This could be the turn around, Oh my goodness Gload you're a hero. EXACTLY

in the games where the sox actually pitch great in the offense falls to spiff....and when the offense does do their job, the pitching falls to spiff...no consistency.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jul 17, 2006 -> 08:13 PM) That would be a HORRIBLE trade for the Sox.

I've tossed both players' first year in the league. Given the fact that Riske has played his entire career in the AL versus the much easier league, and ballpark, that Linebrink has been pitching in, it is hard to make a case that Linebrink is that much better than Riske. He looks like basically the same pitcher to me. They both throw mostly fastballs, with some sliders and change ups. So, if David Riske was available for a AAA LOOGY who wasn't making our team anytime soon, then Linebrink isn't worth that much more. Now that's not to say San Diego would take a LOOGY for him, but he's certainly not worth anything close to the guy who may be the Sox best positional prospect. good point

Saw Munich....Tooooooooo long. It was OK not Oscar Nomination worthy though....maybe because Spielbergo's name was on it. Running Scared....Great violence and action. Thoroughly enjoyable movie. Derailed. Last 10-15 minutes were great.....the rest of the movie sucked. Primer. Excellent concept, liked the movie....i think the science talk could have been toned down a lot though.

QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Jul 15, 2006 -> 05:07 PM) Nice post and I agree on all counts. I second that...trade Garcia or Vazquez for relief pitching and give the kid a shot.

not too worried....Tigers seem to be able to beat everyone except the Whitesox who they are 1-5 against.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:26 PM) Longest movie ever and you just sit and wait and its just horrid. Its like 10 minutes of a movie showed over 15 different ways. Why don't I just walk down the street for about 5 minute and than show everyone else's perspective of me watching and call it a 2hr movie.
