fathom

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.

Great play by Iguchi! Two very good defensive plays this inning.

QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 12:56 AM) Long fly out for Konerko to right. He had the right approach. If PK keeps that approach, he'll blast one later in this game.

Perez looks much tougher to hit tonight than Buehrle does. That cutter has been rather impressive.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 12:53 AM) Odalis Perez was a Soxtalk favorite a couple of years ago. He's not having any trouble with the top of the Sox order yet. The only other pitcher to make Dye look this bad this season has been Padilla. And here comes the umpire complaining.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 12:50 AM) I think Buerhle being behind every hitter is a bad sign of things to come. Hopefully he'll start getting ahead of the hitters or he's going to get ripped. We're going to need 6 or 7 runs to win this game.

Yanks up 4-1 now

That will work! Bad base running cost them a run, but it will definitely help. I liked the way that Alomar went inside there.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 12:47 AM) Shaping up to be a Buehrle inning.

Mark just can't do anything good now. Everything is up in the zone. If anything, I think he's working too fast now.

QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 12:44 AM) Shealy is a big man...but he's out. He's got a lot of power. Weren't we rumored to be interested in him over the offseason? QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 12:45 AM) 1/23 in July. Yet some people think we couldn't have used Brady Clark.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 12:43 AM) what a great thing it would be for Brian Anderson to get hot at some point in the next two months. It would be nicer to see him improve on his .158 with RISP.
