LOL MB picks off Brown @ 1st, to the Sox 4th.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 02:50 PM) On the Joe Randa Watch he is 1-3 with an RBI single, a walk And this is facing Mark Mulder. Aubrey Huff was 1-2 today vs NYY before leaving the game in the 5th inning with an injury (knee area).

Hurt + more help from "T-Long", 2-0

GOOCH!! I luuuuv two out rallies.

HE GAWN! #4, inning

Hawk, "ham and jam" - translation - double play, 6-4-3

PK - oppo field 1B Carl - oppo field 1B 2 on, 0 out

1-2-3, Buehrle just walking through the park

HE GAWN!

A 21 year old rookie who's made 1 good start and 2 poor ones, wow, that's never happened before. Maybe he'll be able to help this year, maybe not, but it should have no bearing on his long term outlook. Either way, it certainly seems like he's gonna get a couple more starts while El Duque's currently on the DL, so for now there's no reason to s*** on him; I'll just hope he can turn it around and make a couple good starts and then all will be fine again with BMAC.

COTTS (and an ERA under 2 LOL) That whole winning games in different ways thing....

25 OVER! 8 up on the LEW FORDS HELL YEAH!

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 18, 2005 -> 04:32 AM) I can't sit quietly by anymore. I know you guys are just having some fun, but is an extremely childish thing to do. And once it gets traced back to Soxtalk, it's going to make us all look like a bunch of juvenile morons. I see your point YAS, but it's all just pointless fun. Keyword being "pointless". If you like dicking around with the polls, it's cool because it's pointless. If you think it's "childish", it's cool because it's pointless. It's more laughing at the Tribune than anything else.

This stretch is definitly shades of Frank at his best and it's beautiful to see. Hitting missiles that get out of the park even though they only get about 20 feet off the ground, LOL, that is vintage Big Hurt. All Sox fans pretty much feel the way you do right now. We love seeing this, especially adding into a season that (at least to this point) is better than could be imagined. The reaction at The Cell when Frank hammers one is like no other reaction any of the other guys get, especially (like the last two games) when they're important to the game. The main thing right now is doing everything possible to keep him healthy, which means giving him rest (even if he's ripping the cover off the ball) and pinch running for him quite often late in games. And about his "attitude problems" or whatever, mehhh, that's mostly been just the media looking for things to be negative about, or Frank making a mistake in something he says to the media, and then having it blown out of proportion. If Frank continues to be a threat his other real value will begin to be seen, and that's the effect he has on how productive the rest of the batting order can be around him. The guys in front of him (usually Podsednik and Iguchi) will begin to get more strikes to hit, because pitchers will be thinking "I have to go right at these guys, I gotta get to Frank with no one base. I can't walk these guys." PODS and Gooch become more aggressive because they know they're going to get more pitches right down the middle. Then you want to see something fun/dangerous? Have Iguchi on first and Pods on second, the pitcher scared that they might steal, and the pitcher scared out of his mind because Frank might make it 3-0 in a heartbeat, or worse yet, might hit a decapitating line drive. And guys hitting behind him benefit too. The pressure on Konerko, Rowand, Dye, etc is lessened, especially when Frank has already driven in runs before them, the rest don't press, don't feel it's all up to them. Look at the 10 run inning from Wed. night, Frank makes something happen, then the guys behind him go nuts. #35

It would be funny to watch both sides cheat, too bad the Cubs fans are simply doing what they're best at, whining about losing and then giving up.

Baj?

Twins to the 10th, might as well just go ahead for about 9 more innings.

Mark B. (just for everything he does) BTW, 2 full days of rest for the Sox pen, that's basically Christmas come early and one more reason to Mark B. Frank missiles off the foul pole PODS and Gooch 1, 2 punch Continue the feeding of excrement tomorrow!!!!

The Suffolk precient has reported.... Who's the first baseman on your All-City team? 9.9% Derrek Lee, Cubs (164 responses) 90.1% Paul Konerko, White Sox (1500 responses) 1664 total responses

Your choices Catcher A.J. Pierzynski, White Sox (2802 responses) Chris Widger, White Sox (1794 responses) Michael Barrett, Cubs (1681 responses) Henry Blanco, Cubs (48 responses)

No need for further scoreboard watching yet, but an interesting note and nothing more. The Injuns (34-30) have won 6 in a row, 9 of their last 10, and are 3 games back of Minny. (8.5 GB of the Sox) That is all.

I voted, AJ was 21% down, but there have been very few votes. edit - less than 5 min. later, AJ now leads

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) who pitched for Norfolk? Jose Santiago started (7 IP, 5 ER) and then Tim LaVigne (2 IP, 4 ER, LP). LaVigne had been quite consistant (ERA

QUOTE(Jimenez4MVP @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) Well to be fair the inning would have been over if Kong gets the ball out of his glove.. Or if Crede can start the DP properly. If either Crede or Konerko makes not easy, but still fairly expected, plays then it's 2-1 Arizona instead of 6-1.
