QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 03:25 AM) Correct. Although I could see UNC having class and dropping off of Rose since he's going to the highest bidder, however Georgia Tech isn't somebody I'd consider to be a classy school that wouldn't pay Collins. But in that case, guess they took the high road. Paul Hewitt is one of the classiest coaches in all of America. They dropped out of the Collins race very early in the process when the found out what the recruitment consisted of.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:53 AM) I can tell you this as well, UNC is NOT recruiting Derrick Rose right now. For whatever reasons. It's the same reason that Georgia Tech stopped recruiting Sherron Collins last year.

Fields with just a normal day off? Should I start the rumor now...both Griffey Jr. and Fields didn't play tonight!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:37 AM) We haven't gotten many DPs lately.

That's the unclutch Ordonez we know and love.

Ugh...here we go.

Great pitch sequence against one of the hardest guys to K in baseball. We need to get Infante out, so Ordonez is only the tying run.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:32 AM) I realize he got the outs, but did he look good doing it? I wish I got home just a bit earlier so I could have watched. Was he locating his off-speed stuff or was it just the FB? He threw his slider for strikes. However, that's not always the optimal location.

Will Anderson be in CF?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:30 AM) We had THE Boone Logan and a very unimpressive Matt Thornton to start the season in the pen.... I was very worried about Politte coming into the year, as I constantly repeated how he was the luckiest statistical pitcher in baseball. But as you know, I was concerned about almost everyone coming into this season, so I won't pat myself on the back.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:25 AM) Of course he brought in Cotts to get Granderson, did you imagine he wouldn't? I mean, c'mon. How do I get in trouble for giving Ozzie a minor compliment? I figured he would do it, but you never know with Ozzie.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:24 AM) Who else would you rather see from our system? There is not an option available now that would be a gaurentee to be better than Montero and you are going to have to pay out the wazoo to get him. As myself and others have said all season, that's something that should have been addressed in the offseason.

It wasn't particularly pretty by Montero, but he deserves credit for a job well done.

That a boy Neal!!! Thankfully, Ozzie was smart enough to have a LHP face Granderson.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:21 AM) And it sucks... It's inexcusable.

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:20 AM) Alright let's. Are we 2 and 9 against the AL elite? Yes. Doesn't mean we are a bad team per se, just that certain other teams are a little better right now. Face it we're struggling. We're not doing the little things that we did during the stretch where we won 15 of 16. Until we start doing those little things, it's gonna keep going like this no matter who we play. I don't get his trash talking in the 8th inning of a one run ballgame.

Jeez....please get a lefty in.

2 bullets dodged

They have a lefty, righty, lefty....where's Cotts?

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:15 AM) SoxTalk whipping boy Augustin Montero in. A huge spot for him to be in. I'd rather see him than Nelson, but he's being thrown into the fire.

Cotts should be in the game.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:13 AM) NOt even close if he doesn't bobble the ball and makes a good throw. It wouldn't have even required a good throw. He was playing shallow, and Crede hadn't touched 3rd base. Dare I say that Pods could have thrown him out?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:12 AM) Contreras is in line for the win and pitched his ass off today, has a Quality Start and only allowed two earned runs. He wasn't "killed" in any sense of the term. When great pitchers allow 3 runs in a game, and 2 are from walks, and the other was on a solo homer....you can say that's what killed his performance. If Pedro allowed 3 runs, and 2 of them were from walks, he'd say that his controlled let him down.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 02:11 AM) Was crede dead if the lf doesn't bobble ball? Not even close

Who comes in next inning? Cotts? Cora would have been out by 40 feet if Gomez fielded that.
