Jereme Richmond

Can someone show me how Dye's numbers rank with people like Aparicio and Fisk during their Sox career?

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 10:39 PM) Who's Adam Greenberg? In 2005, he had one at bat with Cubs, got hit in the head, and missed the rest of the season. He'll likely never make it back to the majors.

Can I vote for Jermaine Dye And BTW, I demand a recount if Adam Greenberg doesn't win the Cubs contest.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 08:49 PM) I'm going to get all Charles Haley and s*** when I see Griffey carted off the field. In all seriousness, let's hope he provides a spark. Hopefully he gets the start tonight due to the first home game as a White Sox, and then he gets a lot of rest against lefties the rest of the way.

So assuming Cubs make the playoffs, who do you think we want them to face in the 1st round? Arizona has the pitching in Webb/Haren/RJ to beat the Cubs, but I worry about Arizona's hitting and their propensity to strike out. I like the Dodgers offense now, but all I see in their rotation is Lowe/Billingsley and shaky bullpen without Saito. The pitcher who's been the best against the Cubs in the past two years has been Cole Hamels, so I wouldn't mind seeing the Phillies get the Cubs in the 1st round.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 07:15 PM) Nope, Johnson was in the bottom of the 10th, when Hernandez caught the tipped bunt attempt by Anderson and got Quentin off on 3rd. Then at the top of the 11th, Hernandez hit a homer off of Linebrink, Sherrill came in Bottom of 11th and Uribe hit a homer. So they are through 11 innings, 3-3 tie. Correct, I had the 10th and 11th innings mixed up.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 06:55 PM) Supposedly Linebrink and Sherrill will be on the mound for their teams(obviously this may or may not change) .. I thought it was in the 8th inning I may be wrong, I forget the score I thought Sherrill was already out of the game. IIRC, it was Johnson who K'd Anderson to end that inning.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 04:42 PM) Sox have a few top guys unsigned. Kinda getting worried about Danks and Beckham. I know Beckham has no reason to go back, but the fact that we haven't heard anything positive makes me worry. Same with Danks. I think Beckham might be waiting for the other guys to sign, especially since it's guys who are looking for huge deals. I'm not too concerned about Beckham not signing. Remember this...if for some reason he doesn't sign, we get the 8th pick compensation again.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 04:22 PM) I hope we get more value then just Sanchez, but yeah its just an example We'd have to give up more than Fields to get Sanchez likely. I still predict that the Giants sign OC to a big deal in the offseason.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 04:10 PM) The Rangers and the Yankees played a great game last night. Real fun to watch. It's just too bad that the Rangers broadcast of the game wasn't on so I could hear Lewin going nuts. And also some possible good news, as Ortiz has wrist issues that possibly could make him miss this wknd's series.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 05:48 AM) Since it's been open the Twins will be 0-1. Keep it open until they start winning. No, we'll just use it as the secret weapon if they take over 1st place again. Think of it as the anti-Brewers thread from last year.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 05:45 AM) I'm going to take great pleasure locking this b****. Won't the Sox be in 1st based on win pct?

So a 10 run inning...very nice

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 04:43 AM) How much does that cost now? .. I guess if i didnt live in chicago I would look into it, I know my uncle in St. Louis has it since hes a sox fan, but I just never felt the need to buy it ... until now ha Watching late night west coast games while the wife is asleep is one of life's many treasures.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 05:41 AM) This thread would be locked if the Twins lose right? Hell yes, I hope it would. Go back and read my very first post...I said I hoped it was a short thread.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 05:41 AM) They only play fundamental baseball in Minny. No one told them they had to do it on the road. Amazing what open air and grass can do. And not having air conditioning keeping the ball in the park?

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 04:40 AM) So ... hows everyone getting this info, watching it or something. Im just doing the gamecast thing nothing to be proud of hah MLB Extra Innings....the greatest invention ever (I'll argue it's better than the NFL package and the college basketball package)

Wait, what? The Twins make a crucial error? 9-6 Mariners.

Mariners up by 1 in the bottom of the 7th!! Time for Morrow and Putz to do their thing.

Mariners with a huge rally, as they're down 6-5 with RISP.

Marlon Byrd with a 2 out walk off slam against Marte.

Twins up 1-0 in the first. They just throw Lamb into the 5th spot, and he delivers with 2 outs.
