Dempster or Volquez will be the NL starter at the All-star game. With the success the Cubs are having at home, I really hope the AL wins.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 01:52 AM) Has a first place team at this stage of the season ever been as streaky? WIns and losses continue in bunches. North for a while; south for a while. Absolutely maddening baseball. Have you seen the Diamondbacks lately?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 01:51 AM) That at least looked pretty lofting in the Chicago air into the leftfielder's mitt. The Sox truly suck during the games I've seen them on TV. Then do us a favor and sacrifice your viewing rights, as that will get them on a good streak again.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 01:50 AM) Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but are you saying the Twins are far superior to the Sox? Seriously, I hope he wasn't.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 01:50 AM) I don't get why we're all worked up. I've been told a loss is fine even if we're still in first and even if it's vs. the Cubs. Just stop, no reason to provoke "them".

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 01:49 AM) After we lose tonight and are 41-34, just pretend that 10 games ago we were 31-34 and are in the midst of 10-game win streak. HAHA. PS the Twins have to be loving this, a Sox team once against pissing on their legs and far superior Twins team creeping up right on their tails waiting to overtake them. Twins are superior?

At least we haven't and don't have to face Zambrano. I'm happy to not deal with his antics. Ozzie needs to pull Vazquez. These starters look very tired.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 01:47 AM) The cub fans at my company haven't been able to purchase tickets on the web for the last 5 years. One crack from a cub fan on Monday, and they wont have gameday either. Wait till the playoffs when the word cubs is in the pornfilter. I love you! BTW, is Greg Walker on your pornfilter also?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 01:47 AM) Wonder how the team will react to this ass kicking this year? Maybe it won't matter and we'll start playing well again. Maybe it's the start of our demise. We'll be good at home, and crappy on the road.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 02:46 AM) Next time A-Ram is up. Throw at his wrist and break it, please. Be careful, I got yelled at for saying I hoped Soriano's hand was broke so he'd miss our series.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 02:43 AM) I will not be able to listen any sports radio until after next weekend's series. Thanks White Sux. It will be a cuppy love affair for the entire week. God please don't let this team and their obnoxious fans win a WS. At least the draft on Thursday will preoccupy things.

Keep pitching Ramirez outside. He's been leaning across the plate all series. Please keep him honest and put one in his ribs.

Funny that gets into the basket after how close we came on Friday. Javy's change-up just sucks.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 01:38 AM) Do some of you guys listen to yourselves. The team is obviously not clicking, but last I checked they are above .500 and still in control of the division. That clearly won't last if they keep playing like they have, but they haven't gotten to this point of the season on accident. How do you figure they're in control of the division? One of the most talented teams in baseball has finally woke up, gotten healthy, and are only 5 games out of first now.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 01:36 AM) If we play like this in the Cell next weekend I wonder if the boobirds will be out. We suck, at least we do this weekend. The boos would be outweighed by the cheering of the Cubs fans.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 01:34 AM) this is the most GIDP i've ever seen. Still a chance for 4 more!

We look like the Tigers offense from the first couple of weeks.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 02:32 AM) DFA Anderson These posts stopped being funny a long time ago (no offense Tommy)

Unreal....nothing like sitting around and hoping for the long ball from our #8 hitter.

That was beautiful by Wise.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 01:27 AM) We're rapidly becoming a lousy road team. Who cares how you classify it, we're on the verge of losing our 9th straight road game. This team lives and dies by the home run, and it's always more difficult to hit homers on the road.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 01:24 AM) I thought the AL was way better than the NL; I hoped that might count for a couple wins this lost weekend. It is, but we're playing one of the two best teams in baseball, but far and away the toughest home team there is.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 01:23 AM) This is really becoming pitiful. We just want to lose. There's just no energy, as everyone seems to be going through the motions. Maybe when we fall out of first place, that will show them that they actually have to play well to win games.

Keep pulling the ball Joe.
