QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 03:12 PM) It is chilly and extremely windy at night.Dress accordingly cause that ballpark is like a wind tunnel. Oh yeah, it is freezing.

QUOTE (pcullotta @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 02:49 PM) Paulie sucking has definitely gotten more of the fans attention but has anyone really looked at what Swisher has done in July? He is batting an awesome .186 with 4 extra base hits in 70 AB's. An OPS of .662. That's basically Jerry Owens like numbers without the threat of a stolen base. In fact, if you look further, Swisher has only one month this year where he has hit over .213. This month, Paulie actually has a better average (albeit a still sucky .218) and he has 3 extra base hits in 55 AB's. I guess my point is they both suck. I don't disagree with benching Paulie but I want Swisher's sorry a** on the bench too. There's a reason not so many are calling out Swish...Paulie has still been much worse and we only have a replacement for one of them. Swish is still infinity better than having Konerko out there, even if they are both garbage. Unfortunately, a trade seems like an impossibility.

My favorite ballpark. That's all I got for you.

f***

Classic.

Yay Russel Branyan.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 03:26 AM) It's now a normal 3 game series. The Sox need to win 2 of 3, just like they did in Detroit. It can be done, and I expect it. Unfortunately we probably blew our best chance to win tonight, and got killed while doing so. Tomorrow we got Richard going...so yeah, this series isn't exactly setting up well in the least bit, but we shall see

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 02:22 AM) Hawk's the only person in baseball who thinks Gomez is this much of a catalyst. Casilla's been much more instrumental for the Twins success over the past few months. The simple reason for that is because Gomez owns us.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 03:04 AM) Like the game CQ homered against Wilson vs Texas? Or like the 1st 2 games of the Tigers series this weekend. Yeah. You're right. Unfortunately, Joe Nathan is a man god while CJ Wilson and Todd Jones are not.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 02:34 AM) Wow, a guy with 6 career steals whose biggest offensive weapon is a walk. Face it, if Konerko or Thome performed the exact same way Swisher has, the vultures would be calling for their releases. For some reason Swisher gets a huge pass on this board, just like Vazquez, although the tide is starting to turn on Javy. I agree both have been terrible, but Swish has still been much better Kong. Swish has scored a respectable 13 runs this month, so obviously the walks do mean something. Konerko is just epically bad right now.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 02:28 AM) Since Konerko has come off the DL, Paulie is hitting a pathetic .218 coming into tonight. Swisher, during that same time period, is hitting .180. Yeah, he' still hitting alright. Konerko has 2 walks since coming off the DL. Swish has 15 in that time frame.

QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 10:31 AM) Remember when everyone got face time and the awful disembodied voice? What? The old format was awesome, with Kellerman and ESPECIALLY the disembodied voice.

More insane numbers for Batman and the X-Files bombed hard.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 08:19 PM) No way. You know how blindly loyal Ozzie sometimes is to his vets. No way in hell he'd leave Javy out of the playoff rotation. And there's no way he would leave off guys with ERAs in the 3.50s and below. No chance. This is different than Bmac and El Duque. That was for the very last roster spot that was probably going largely unused(it didn't work out that way, but still). Bmac was a guy with 60 MLB innings under his belt, and it wasn't like he was anything spectacular. This would be for the number 2 and 3 starting spot, and be given to guys who simply have been spectacular with full seasons under their belts.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 07:03 PM) Assuming we get there, my playoff rotation would go in this order: Buehrle, Jose, Danks, Javy. We would have to be the first team in history to make the playoffs and then not start our winningest pitcher as well as the guy who is tied for 2nd in ERA. You would have to be nuts not to start Gavin.

This movie would have been so much better if I had never seen Thank You For Smoking.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 04:41 PM) I think some are over-valuing Floyd in this thread. It doesn't get much more valuable than a 25 year old starting pitcher who is having the year he is having.

I bet it's for Jones. It makes sense for the Braves to trade him. Poreda for Chipper straight up, maybe? We'd probably have to throw in another player or two, I guess.

"Ozzie tells his fans that he enjoys watching WNBA games in his free time." Still the best Ozzie quote ever.

I like Baker going nuts after Casilla didn't throw on a potential double. This after Baker f***ed up a double play earlier in the game.

QUOTE (gosox41 @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 02:56 AM) If Marmol is healthy, we will get back on track. Way to blow your cover.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 02:31 AM) Which they aren't. And it probably doesn't matter. His ridiculous RBI rate will probably be enough to win it(assuming it keeps up). Hamilton has gotten so much press this year, it's hard not to notice what he's doing, especially the sports writers who vote for the thing. On the other side of things, there's probably voters out there who barely know who Quentin is.

I love you Carlos.
