fathom

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:33 AM) Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and thankfully this message board lets others disagree with those opinions. Yeah, I have my issues with Hawk, but I'd rather listen to him than another team's announcers (unless they're Milwaukee's guys...they rule).

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:32 AM) 7 in a row by Buehrle and we're still tied at 2. Let's win this game. Wouldn't it be nice if we're the team that hits the big 3 run homer late in the game to break the other team's back?

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:28 AM) I can't believe anyone would complain about complaints about Hawk in this thread, but not complain about the thread being highjacked to talk about Hulk Hogan. I'm sorry, but a topic where myself, JimH, Dick Allen, balta, GPratt, and Milkman can joke around and get along is more important than this game. This gives me hope for peace in the Middle East.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:29 AM) You know, funny enough, I missed a lot of last year's baseball season (maybe half the games) because I spent all that time with a girl. (Not that she made me stop watching, but I decided to take her out more and follow the Sox-by-recap and read game summaries, sadly.) I loved that girl -- she didn't like sports, but watched the World Series with me, and during Game Three, at a time when I was feeling ill and wound up collapsing in sickness/sleepiness, she was sweet enough to stay up and wake me as soon as Blum homered. You had a girl stay up to watch the end of the game, but you were sleeping? Who wears the pants in that relationship? One of my biggest pet peeves is anyone who says they're a Sox fan, and went to bed before the end of that game. No offese Greg.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:29 AM) I say you should slap your gum into the crowd and then toss your towel over your shoulder to your best man. Don't tempt me. It's always fun to yell out "now you're going to see, the perfectplex".

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:28 AM) I've been trying for "Don't stop believin'", but that hasn't succeeded either. Of course, my first choice would still be the Imperial March. She still doesn't understand what I'm talking about when I tell her the anthem at graduation ceremonies was Macho Man's music. Sadly, the only time I can point Mr. Savage out to her is during Spiderman.

FWIW, I asked my fiance if I could come down the aisle to "Real American", but she said no.

I love that SB attempt.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:24 AM) Gregory, Yes I agree. Kind of like seeing "Animal House". And you've seen that movie, yes? For a guy, I couldn't agree more about knowing the Hogan/Andre situation. For a girl, I was just happy that my fiance knew of Frank Thomas when we started dating.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:23 AM) You can call him Mr. America or Thunderlips, too, if you'd like. How about Mr. Nanny?

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:22 AM) Ozuna is really scuffling, he is not getting the job done at the plate at all. He needs to be working the count better than he has, especially if he's in the leadoff spot. This pitcher has had control problems when I've seen him in the past.

ugh...that hole in LF against lefties keeps getting bigger.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:20 AM) Yes, agree Hulkster. He needs the confidence right now. Hulkster, that's the right nickname, right fathom??? That's quite the mighty nickname though. But sure, why not.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:18 AM) Are you marrying a twelve year old?! How big's the gap in your age and your girlfriend's, tiger? (I just think it's so odd that you'll know something about Hulkamania while she has to watch....VH1...) She's the same age as me....she just wasn't a wrestling fan. To her credit, she had heard of Hulk Hogan though. She just didn't understand the legend of Hulkamania.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:18 AM) Nice. What a year he's having, unreal. I've always liked him, as he's one of the nicest guys in baseball. He was always one of those guys who looked like he should be good, but he just couldn't put it all together. He hit a homer off of Tom Gordon a few years against the Sox that hasn't landed yet.

There we go...lets get some guys on for Dye/PK.

Babe Mathews Jr. with a grand slam to put the Rangers up 7-0.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) is Shealy a good prospect? Seems like some people were interested him during the deadline Big time power prospect.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:14 AM) Fathom was talking about Col. Hogan, Hogan's Heroes. That's before my time, unfortunately. There's no bigger icon in the world than Hulk Hogan. I'm just thankful that the reality show has been playing so that my fiance can witness Hulkamania (just a terrible parent).

QUOTE(hogan873 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:13 AM) Hulk Hogan? Can't be Paul Hogan. Ben, maybe? The Hulkster, of course.

QUOTE(hogan873 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:11 AM) I may sound like a complete fool, but when did the Sox acquire (re-acquire) Sandy? Has he been in their minors? Or was he a signing? You share the name of the greatest living American....please don't ever think you're a fool.

Lets see if Buehrle can hold the opposition after the Sox tie the game.

QUOTE(SadChiSoxFanOptimist @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 12:59 AM) Here's his deal: White Sox | Dye Signs Thu, 9 Dec 2004 09:02:34 -0800 Dye will be paid $4 million in 2005 and $5 million in 2006 with the club holding an option for 2007 at $6 million (with a buyout of $1.15 million). Simple... After this bummer year of homer ball, Kenny will look to improve this team, including getting younger and faster. Although JD hasn't lost much and he's relatively inexpensive, he is on the decline. I'm guessing that the Sox will see his contract as an opportunity to change the profile of this team. If this is serious, I recommend you just stop watching baseball. That's as polite as I can say that.

Crede looks like he's locked in again. Safe to say he was looking first pitch fastball there? Way to go Joe!

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:01 AM) Disagree totally. Listen to Bert Blyleven much? Yeah, I disagree that Hawk's the only announcer that complains. I actually thought it was a typo, and meant to say "not the only". My biggest beef about it is that Hawk make it sounds like the umps are out to get us every game.
