QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 30, 2007 -> 12:56 AM) If Harris played for the White Sox this year, he wouldn't have done half as well as he did this year. Holy cow.....please explain this.

What a shocker...Ben Sheets has a blister problem. And the Cubs got ANOTHER huge break on a play at 3rd base where Soriano was out.

I just wanted to thank Oswalt for returning to face the Cardinals tonight, and the missing the Cubs this wknd.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 03:41 AM) Just another day in the worst baseball season of my life. It's just beginning.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 04:31 AM) Is there one Sox fan out there who thinks MacDougal should be on this team next year? I'd do a poll, but I don't know how. Get rid of that bum. Geez. I think he should be....just never let Toby Hall catch him again.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 03:25 AM) worst team in baseball, and nobody's getting fired I hope they don't feel like overspending on Hunter is going to solve the other 10 holes or so they have.

I wonder if this was the lowest rated game, in terms of audience, the Sox have had in years? Between the game being on CSN Plus, and the Cubs game, doesn't seem like many would want to watch it.

Just DL Pods and call up Sweeney. It's embarassing to this franchise to have 11 healthy bodies on the offensive end.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 03:18 AM) Aren't they paying him next year? They should have just let him have the surgery. Just eat the money, and go find someone who can contribute. It's probably too late for him to have surgery and be ready for ST.

So, if the Cubs make the playoffs, I want to see them play either the Padres or Mets. The Mets seems like a longshot, as either the Braves or Phillies would have to make a big run to make the WC. I just hope that Peavy, Young, and Webb can stay healthy the rest of the way.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 03:14 AM) I hope for his sake its because of his injury. Molina was one of the worst hitters I've ever seen, but at least he could catch a little. Back up White Sox catchers have 2 RBI this year. That is incredible. Molina looked like 5 times the hitter Hall's been this year. I'd rather they just release him this offseason.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 03:11 AM) That's so bad, they will probably score. Has any position player ever had a worse year than Toby Hall, offensively and defensively? He has to be the worst position player in the majors at this time. Nope, he's been absolutely worthless in every possible way.

So, I think I just heard the most depressing comment of the year: the Sox have Gonzalez, Hall, and Erstad to try and tie the game in the 9th.

BTW, Tampa with a huge inning late in the game to win. I'm just saying, it's not the worst thing in the world if we don't pull this game out.

Richar is a groundball machine. Like I've said elsewhere, he's fine at #9 next year as long as there's no Owens in the lineup.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 02:47 AM) Maybe I'll do so, just because. Man, could you imagine a series between the Braves and the Cubs right now, it'd be like the two best teams ever against each other. I'd be a bigger fan of the Braves than Pratt could ever be in that situation.

If someone opens up a "Love for Cardinals" thread, they should be banned.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 02:36 AM) Gavin with a quality start. 6 IP 6 H 3 R 3 ER 2 BB 4 SO Somewhere in Chicago, Greg is estatic. Combine that with the Braves losing, and it was as bad of a night for him as it was for anti-Cubs fans.

That 0-1 pitch to Estrada sure looked high. Estrada is one of my least favorite players in baseball.

Ned Yost (makes me appreciate how well we played after our great start in 2005)

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 02:31 AM) Fake Johan getting destroyed on the road yet again. Easy Money is what he should be called. BTW, no one mentioned the brutal game Beltre had over the wknd. That was atrocious.

Zambrano will definitely be acting like an idiot tomorrow. Hopefully he blows out his elbow. The funny thing is I don't even think the Cubs crowd is that into the game....or maybe it's cause I have it on mute so I don't have to listen to the broadcast.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Aug 29, 2007 -> 02:26 AM) Anybody have any video on an animal getting hit by a semi? That is what this sort of reminds me of. We've been told not to worry, the Cubs have no chance if they make the playoffs....so keep your chin up.

That was one of the most pathetic at-bats you could possibly imagine.

At least Gross didn't get any good pitches to hit.
