fathom

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 01:42 AM) idk he looked pretty impressive when he threw that one hitter against kc a few years ago That complete game against the Twins towards the end of 2005, where the Twins hitters (J. Jones in particular) knew the fork ball was coming and still had no prayer.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 01:39 AM) I'm glad KW, Ozzie, and COop didn't give up on Jose like a lot of people did (including me) What's your thoughts on Beckham so far? At least you've never waivered on your hate for Anderson.

After that 1st inning, Jose is throwing some fantastic fork balls.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 02:33 AM) Hell of an effort by Beckham. He's like a hockey goalie out there who knocks it down but can't field it cleanly. He's almost too quick on some of those plays, and with experience it will get easier for him over there.

Really well done Tony

QUOTE (GO CHI SOX! @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 01:44 AM) Ozzie thinks he was at the Michael Jackson funeral. "I worry about Colon because Colon was a big-time Michael Jackson fan. ... He might see the TV and cry all day long. He may be is in LA at his funeral, because I can't find him. When he gets to Charlotte, Oney [Guillen] will call me to say he's there. "Nobody knows how big of a Michael Jackson fan Colon was. I'm serious. He might be depressed a little bit." http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune....-charlotte.html Funny s*** here

QUOTE (Ron @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 01:18 AM) Pargo is a solid pickup. Always liked him. Gives us another ballhandler and a shooter. I love it...gives the Bulls a 3 point gunner off the bench.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 02:14 AM) In the middle of the game? I dont believe that,it would be strange but maybe you are right. It was to start the top of the 6th. I'd be a lot more worried if it was during the inning.

Wow Pods, feel free to hustle.

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 01:12 AM) Shocking...highly doubtful it was planned. I told you guys before not to count on having him play any type of large role with this team this year. He is not going to be able to keep that foot healthy period. I think it was totally planned after the way they've been handling him.

6-48, and you have to wonder how many of those were grounders to the left side.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 01:09 AM) Please be ok. Considering he lasted through the top of the 5th and then was replaced defensively in the 6th, it seems like it was planned. Maybe he's on a flight to Chicago tonight?

Quentin got pulled from the Charlotte game int he 5th inning after 2 at bats. Hopefully this was planned.

Holy cow, this is unreal. 5 warning track fly outs, including 3 that looked gone off the bat.

Nice situational hitting.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 01:01 AM) Wow, when Q comes back.... this team is clicking The idea of replacing one of the worst hitters in the AL with someone like Quentin is definitely an intriguing thought.

Do your thing Slayer!

I really enjoy our lineup vs LHP now. Alexei is just raking against LHP, and Nix makes some fantastic contact.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 12:53 AM) The warning track power tonight. I've never seen anything like this. I thought Fields' was 10 rows back when he hit it.

Goodness, 4 fly outs to the warning track tonight.

Anderson is now 6-47 vs LHP.

Warning track power on the last 3 outs

Beckham is squaring up so many pitches now.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 9, 2009 -> 12:31 AM) I like listening to Vin Scully, the D-Backs, Rangers and Giants announcers, but yeah, nothing compares to home cooking when it comes to broadcasting. The Dbacks have the best announcer (Sutton)

Contreras' forkball is more like a hanging curve so far.
