QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:37 AM) Perhaps it's a lead into a New Pen Order. Cheesy, but maybe it will lead to something.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:33 AM) Or give her a taste of the back of fathom's knee for being so ignorant. No, my finisher is Dino Bravo's thunderous side suplex.

David Riske did his best Hulk Hogan impression tonight.

Either he's being sarcastic, or this thread is as pathetic as the Brian Anderson for MVP thread from the wknd.

FWIW, the Durham Bulls sent Elijah Dukes home. He's saying he's going to quit...but that will last about as long as a Mick Foley retirement.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:30 AM) This was the best game thread ever, without a doubt. You all have a great night. I'll be watching some old WWF tapes tonight. I might have to explain to my fiance the power of the Hogan leg drop.

No matter what happens, thanks guys for a great thread tonight. Even if we had lost, I would have still enjoyed the game tonight due to it.

Ok, one more Bobby! It's nice to face Teahen when his run doesn't matter. Please get him out before Mr. Fastball gets up.

Jenks had a lot of success going all fastball earlier in the year until he'd get 2 strikes. Then, he'd get the easy K with his curve. From what I've seen, teams are jumping on his fastball early in the count now.

Wow Bobby. You better get a little movement on that fastball, or keep it above the belt. And here we go.

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:23 AM) you guys realize the sox have scored 7 runs with only one homerun which was a solo shot by the player of the game. Lets hope we don't have to get used to this without PK and Thome.

QUOTE(champ @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:23 AM) Elbow discomfort. Apparantly, nothing to be concerned about. Twins better hope that "nothing to be concerned about" doesn't mean what it means over in Cubbie land. He said he wants to pitch. It's a little different than Mrs. Prior basically running home and locking the door.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:22 AM) Do you save Jenks for another nite and keep Riske in with the 3 run lead? Or do you go with Jenks? I say it's a save situation, go with Jenks. If they tack on another run, go with Riske if he's still available. You go with him for the save, no question about it. Riske has been sitting in the dugout for 2 innings now, and you give Jenks the confidence builder with the 3 run save chance. If they score 3 or 4 runs vs Jenks, we don't deserve to win.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:21 AM) What happened with Liriano? The Cubs traded him for Izturis. BTW, did everyone know that the Padres didn't do that Linebrink deal?

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:21 AM) haha Royals, silly hopes crushed. You trying for the jinx?

I'm really impressed with Anderson's flexibility at the plate now. Earlier in the year, he was so stiff at the plate.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:19 AM) Really all I'm tryin to say is that the yanks and tigers are scary right now and it might be easier to stay with the twins and red sox who both might be having problems(like us) I agree with you. The Red Sox are tied or only up .5 on the Yanks now. If teams would stop letting Ortiz beat them, maybe they'd lose more.

Yes! Brown couldn't have played that lazier if he tried.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:16 AM) Yes I do, and it was pure sarcasm. The Scott Ruffcorn hype made me laugh since it was so obvious he sucked, and I was like 9 years old (if that) when he first came up. Oh trust me, I sensed the sarcasm.

This is a huge save opportunity for Jenks coming up. If he blows it, then you have to start worrying about how he's been giving up a lot of runs.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:14 AM) Scott Ruffcorn disagrees with this comment. It took two batters to realize Ruffcorn sucked. Anyone else remember that early Saturday game in Cleveland?

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:12 AM) Just something to watch, boston has varitek on 15 DL, nixon out 3 weeks, wakefield able to come off 15 DL but they didn't activate him, lester not pitching as well. They still have many weapons but maybe they fall a little here. Also the liriano report today. Some good things today if we pull this out Lester is the greatest pitching prospect in history. He'll be fine.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:12 AM) 1 outta 3 aint bad! Good job Joe joe! Oh my god, are you seriously complaining. I thought you're supposed to have me on ignore?

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 03:10 AM) Yes, 5-4 lead. Now let's win this freakin' game. They have 9-1-2 up next inning. It's going to be challenging for Jenks.

This is the best game I've ever seen Crede have at the plate. He might have more productive games, but he's crushed it every AB.
