Great base running by Swisher. AJP has to avoid the double play here.

QUOTE (Wedge @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 01:44 AM) Twins up 2-0. Adam Everett homer...ugh

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 01:28 AM) Fathom, do you like AJ in the 2 spot? Absolutely not...it should be Alexei or Swisher.

That 3-2 pitch by Danks to Lowell got a "Holy s***" from me.

Beckett's fastball = firm

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 01:07 AM) Isn't he dreamy? Besides Carlos Quentin, I think I'll give my wife permission to leave me for him if he ever came calling. It's better than my ex-girlfriend, who had a crush on Mike Tomczak.

There's an Olympics thread for a reason. Please don't post stuff in this thread about the Phelps race, etc.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 09:37 PM) Or they don't want the catchers to have to deal with trying to catch a knuckleball when, either way, the innings are meaningless. They also probably feel that Broadway atleast has a future on the big league roster whereas they consider Haeger to be an afterthought. Haeger blows, Broadway blows, who really gives a s***? You are arguing about the 27th man and a dude who is pitching garbage innings. WCW has connections to Haeger, so the best thing to say is that you hope Haeger excels in the majors when he gets another chance.

Over/under on Red Sox triples is 1.5

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 09:08 PM) Now, I don't know if I want ARZ or LAD getting the Cubs in the 1st round... Az by far. Webb, Haren, and their nemesis RJ. Dodgers bullpen is awful now.

Carrasco is a finesse pitcher. German is a power pitcher with a fastball/splitter combo. I haven't see him pitch lately, but I would guess his fastball is in the 93-94 mph range. He's the type of pitcher that you better have someone else in the pen getting loose as soon as he steps on the mound.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 03:45 AM) I did the double fist pump from my chair. That was worth staying up for. What a finish and to absolutely blow away the world-record like that is amazing! My wife was a swimmer in high school (not very well, may I add). Anyways, this is her World Series, and she was in tears after the USA won.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 04:02 AM) that's the problem, there really is no real talent in the minors right now Which means Beckham better be signed this week!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 12:14 AM) Tough crowd as usual. Crede's numbers in a season when he's coming back from serious back surgery 255 .323 .474 .797 . He has 17 homers and 54 RBIs. He was on the all-star team. But he's a pop up machine. I get it. It's nice not having an error out of the 3rd base position as frequently as we did with Crede in the field.

Nice surprise coming home to see this!

Great win!

Be careful with the first pitch fastball here.

Everett's such an offensive specialist.

Awesome job by Dotel today!!

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:41 PM) I was thinking the same thing. Powerful set of lungs. I'm going to assume she's 18, and say that she has quite the rack.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:36 PM) that was the best call ever by hawk GROUND BALL, ......... TURN IT LOOSE ALEXEI.. YES! My brother had a funny comment, in retrospect....could you imagine Hawk's voice if Alexei launched that into the 1st base stands?

BTW, how old is that girl who was singing? She does the National Anthem often, and I have a comment to make, but want to make sure she's 18.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:34 PM) nice left handed relief out of the pen the last two days. But hey Kenny, we got junior, so it's all good. Unless you wanted to give up a fortune for Ohman or Sherrill, I don't blame KW for not going after a lefty reliever.

Big double play!!!

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:33 PM) That last pitch looked like it got the plate inside. Aj reaching back to get it didn't help. Those other pitches were outside, but that 3-2 looked like a strike.
