But yeah, Game 163 was the best game I've ever been to. The only other game that could have topped that was Game 2 of the WS.

It was a pretty meaningless game, but the Sox-Yankees game from a while back where Carlos Lee homered off of Rivera and then Valentin won it in the 9th was amazing, as there was a long rain delay and 90 pct of the crowd was wasted by the time it ended.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 01:25 AM) Yea it's decided.. Every Mark Buehrle start you don't get to watch. two hours and 3 minutes of my life I'll find something else to do

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 02:17 AM) Both you and John Danks are no longer allowed to be around when Mark Buehrle pitches. I also missed his first no hitter...but I swear I've missed some games where he got rocked!!

So I missed the game today due to a company picnic. Anything cool happen?

QUOTE (GO CHI SOX! @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 06:20 AM) You guys think they were there to scout Torres? Qualls is probably who KW is interested in. Maybe Doug Davis or Chad Tracy? Max Scherzer would be nice but pricey. Justin Upton? I think I should keep dreaming on that one. Chris Young as 4th outfielder? I don't even know if I'm kidding.

Chacin might have been promoted due to Manny Corpas being injured.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 04:02 AM) He's a real nice guy too. And a HUGE Sox fan

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 06:00 AM) They have this 1b in AAA that i really like. Honestly, i could see us looking into one of their middle relievers, with KW looking to send either Dotel or Linebrink to another team. There's always Garland too. Forgot about Garland. He's throwing the ball pretty well now, but I want nothing to do with him. If KW trades for a starter, it needs to be someone we know is an upgrade over our 5 main guys.

According to tomorrow's Tribune, the Diamondbacks had scouts at our game today. The clubs obviously know a lot about each other. Not sure who KW would be interested in on Arizona (Haren's going nowhere).

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 04:56 AM) They're trading Chacin? No way. Yep..wouldn't shock me if it's for Sherrill and someone else maybe.

Rockies are making a big trade, as they pulled their top pitching prospect from his start tonight (according to MLBTR)

I'd also like to thank Maddon for pulling Shields. I'm going to miss tomorrow's game, and I think my blood pressure will thank me.

HELL YEAH!

I'm all for walking Longoria here.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 03:56 AM) Wow Pods, you have to charge that and prevent him from going to 3rd! Upon further review, the grass just killed that ball.

Wow Pods, you have to charge that and prevent him from going to 3rd!

That pitch is really good against righties looking for the fastball. Nothing inside to Crawford!

Really wish this was Dotel in there, especially with Navarro better against LHP.

Ugh, here we go!

Where did SF1 go? He travel to the Cell to help towel off Torres?

Dotel in the 9th?

Hell of a slider there. AJP's calling for it more from Thornton.

Wow, this match-up is just not good
