QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 08:02 PM) I have been a fan of Zach Galifianakis for years and I hope he has lots of success, but it is going to really bother me to see a bunch of people suddenly jump on his bandwagon and annoint him the funniest guy ever (and he is easily one of the funniest) simply based on The Hangover. You ever see the week he was the guest host on Jimmy Kimmel?

5-2 now after two straight doubles. Biggest batter of the game here for Contreras.

Just like I mentioned Lillibridge/Miller/Fields, if we can get CQ back at even 70 pct, the upgrade from BA to him will be huge as well.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 2, 2009 -> 01:27 AM) So answer the other question then, which is much more important...why does anyone buy into this BS theory of "protecting" a players confidence???? If you are good, you are GOOD. Period! And BTW, wouldn't you rather him bat at least around 6 instead of 8? We need to get him some AB's! I won't disagree with that at all.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 2, 2009 -> 12:31 AM) Fields has been raking the last week. Yes, but from May to about mid-June, we just were not getting a lot of good at bats from those guys when they were in the lineup. I'll be honest, I wanted to see Fields play tonight. Hopefully he'll face Chen tomorrow.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 2, 2009 -> 12:31 AM) Beckham is s***ting fire right now. 2007 baby

What a beast!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 2, 2009 -> 12:28 AM) This team is pretty good right now. Not to get into this again, but isn't it amazing how a lineup looks a lot tougher with Lillibridge and Corky Miller not in it, and Fields on the bench?

Nix really puts a hell of a swing on every pitch he sees from LHP.

CASTRO! Welcome to the White Sox

Filthy swing by PK there. Time for Castro to do something on the offensive end to earn his jersey.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 2, 2009 -> 01:22 AM) I'm probably in the minority, but no I would not. I actually agree with you, I would not either.

We're batting him 8th because our #2 and 3 hitters are on fire. Beckham's spot in the order is such a non-issue right now.

Time to knock Sowers out of the game.

It's surprising every pitch this umpire doesn't call a strike. Nice jump out there BA

Alexei with the 2 out RBI, but we give up another damn out on the bases. No Hawk, when you have the hottest hitter in the AL up next, you don't run into an out.

Crap, Cabrera makes a nice play to save the run. Don't get picked off Pods!

Is it me, or does this umpire have the biggest strike zone ever?

Way too many first pitch swings against someone who has nothing on the mound.

Beckham with a rocket double.

Sox are hitting the ball hard tonight, but the ball isn't jumping at all.

Stoney's absolutely right. Contreras gets hammered by righties when he drops down too much. Sowers is going to give up runs, we have to limit the damage here.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 07:23 PM) The 05 threads are quite entertaining to read when you consider how good that team was and how many people thought we needed some drastic changes to compete. You and I really didn't get along then, did we?

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 04:15 PM) Really-its fun watching again-the enthusiasm and unpredictability of young budding stars I love it It's crazy, I was actually upset that they called the game last night, as we missed out on seeing Beckham bat again. A month ago, I would have been begging the umps to call the game. The second half of 2007 was saved by watching Fields play on a regular basis, as funny as that seems.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 04:36 AM) Why wouldn't we come back with pretty much the same lineup save AJ? Facing another lefty tomorrow. Thome's been huge against Sowers in the past.
