fathom

Even if he's right, Anderson needs to STFU. These types of comments are going to do nothing but irritate Ozzie and KW.

Guess I missed a good game to miss. Awesome stuff, this is going on the do not delete ever from my DVR along with GT/Oklahoma St. and Boise St/Oklahoma.

Not going to be able to watch the game live tonight. Go Sox....and someone make sure to keep preaching my #1 rule during this game.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:22 PM) Barons' Team History I'd assume that would be the incident I have seen fathom eluding to in the past. Kemp got hit in the 8th, and that caused the game to end in a forfeit. Yep, Kemp was the player indicated.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:48 PM) It would be nice if Buerhle can get out of the first unscathed for a change. 15 of 18 and 8 in a row I believe

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 06:52 PM) There's a story about Matt Kemp. Fathom's mentioned it, and someone knows. There was a fight in the minors last year. I don't know if this is public knowledge but Kemp was heavily involved in it and did some stupid stuff.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 06:09 PM) I remember that 14 inning very well. I just couldn't go to bed and had to stay up even though I had to get up really early next day. Sometimes I've regretted staying up too late for school or work, but never this one. I have very strong feelings against anyone who calls themself a diehard Sox fan and went to bed before that game was over.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 04:35 AM) So, do people still believe accepting only Floyd and Gonzalez for Garcia was fine because he may never pitch again? The above line appears to indicate his arm is infact attached to his body. What a disgraceful trade.

We should just have Ozuna bat 6th. Thus, we can break up the stretch of 5 straight guys that run slower than the Bears offensive line.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 04:29 AM) SAY HELLO TO YOUR NEW LEADOFF HITTER CHICAGO!!! .171/.239/.244/.483 That's right you are not seeing things, that's a .483 OPS! But who cares!? He'll grind the s*** out of your face. 2 for last 28, and that includes a routine grounder up the middle that C.C. botched for an infield hitter. The scary thing is that he's hit very few baseballs hard during this slump.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 04:16 AM) LOL. PFB is now denying that these hitters are going up to the plate with the "pull-and-lift" approach because "they're good hitters who get extra base hits" this is the first time I've listened to him all year, and it'll probably be the last. Everything about the Score's broadcast of White Sox baseball is disgraceful. QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 04:20 AM) I'm starting to doubt my prediction on 84 wins. The Tigers are just flat out better than the Sox from the manager on down. Hopefully they keep Durbin in the rotation a little longer though.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 04:16 AM) Put it this way -- never have straight fastball down the middle in hitters counts looked so devastating. The team wide struggles have to make you believe that whatever Walker is instructing these hitters to do, it's easily being exploited by opposing pitchers. We're recoginizing their flaws as fastballs and offspeed pitches located on the outside corner. I'm afraid, judging from their offensive output (ranked amongs the worst in the league) other teams have caught on. It could be a LOOONNNGG year ahead of us. What's overlooked in this loss is how Garland failed to exceed 89 mph on his fastball (WCIU didn't even have a radar gun), and Pierzynski's plate calling was horrendous. Is every pitcher's velocity down from where it was 2 years ago? Thornton doesn't seem close to the 97 mph mark he was at last year. MacDougal's slider has been great this year, but his fastball has been in the 91 mph range. It's just weird that other teams seem so much fresher offensively and on the mound.

Garland says he mentally gave up. What in the hell is wrong with this team? As someone pointed out earlier, we've won 39 of our last 89 games. If we're not careful, the Tigers are going to get a huge lead on us.

I thought I heard this from his former roommates on CNN, but they said he was gay or was deeply disturbed by same sex desires (not that this means anything).

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:41 AM) Well I cant wait to hear the excuses from Guillen. it was cold, it was a bad night. The ball was only warm for the Rangers. the hitters are close. whatever The scary thing is that your boyfriend will never get fired during the season.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:37 AM) Which is why I have pretty much stopped caring about the whole Anderson/Ozzie saga. This team has MUCH bigger problems right now. Kind of symbollic of the issues we have though. The Erstad debacle hurts this team, as well as Ozzie needing to have his "speedster" at the top of the order. There was no excuse for us to bring Pods back this year. He's an oft-injured player who can't play well when coming back from injury.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:39 AM) They lost Sandy Alomars cell phone number? I'd take him over Molina.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:37 AM) You know what's sad? Those two are better than two-thirds of our healthy, starting OF. Lofton especially... would've been a perfect choice for LF this year. Lofton will never play for the Sox again. He's told close friends he hated playing for the Sox, as he's a Cubs fan and felt like a traitor.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:37 AM) Well, atleast we know Molina is incapable of judging a strikezone or catching up to a 90 mph fastball. HE HIT .220 IN AA!!!!!!! How in the world does someone make a ML roster with that history.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:36 AM) My point still stands. Nobody cares about everyone's fantasy team. One of the reasons I don't play is because I don't want guys playing against the Sox on my team. That's funny, because that's my justification as well. I don't need something else to be entertained....I have the Sox on 162 times a year.

Any chance Anderson gets a plate appearance? And yes, Gustavo Molina is one of the worst players to ever make the Sox MLB roster.

QUOTE(zenryan @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:35 AM) ok, honest question. who sucks more, this team or Grossman? This team....at least Grossman performed well in the cold vs the Saints.

This team needs as much help as it can get on offense. Calling up Logan makes no sense. As Sunday's game showed, another offensive threat could give Ozzie more flexibility at the end, especially a righty hitter.

QUOTE(zenryan @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 02:30 AM) and we're 5-7 with DJ so I guess we need to call Ventura back and have him and Black Jack do the games. That would be pretty entertaining. I think we had a beastly record with the Pope in the booth during 2005.

I forgot how studly Logan is against MLB pitching. And people really don't want us to trade him if we can get something valuable for him.
