Kalapse

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 01:19 PM) No no. The NL is more high scoring this year. It doesn't have to do with how many runs the leagues score, it has to do with the comparitive OPSs of the 7,8,9 hitters in the two leagues. The NL is much weaker.

2-0 Royals in the 4th.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) I PMed you this answer as well... How come I'm not on there? Sure you did.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:28 AM) Now it's a three-way battle between me, you, and Kalapse for the greatest tongue-in-cheek Soxtalk sig. My sig is not tongue-in-cheek. Crede has a great swing.

Royals jump on the Twins in the first 2-0... They got this one in the bag.

There's really only a couple things being discussed in the trade thread any. Our lack of offense-who is providing the lack of offense. And do we really need another starting pitcher? I followed every page, I posted heavily for the first 25 pages but it has now lost my interest seeing how it's the same thing being talked about over and over.

I say Crede has a big day tomorrow, just a hunch.

Other than "Bohemian Rhpsody" I'd say "Fat Bottom Girls" is my favorite song by Queen. I don't know why but that song is just damn good.

I don't understand why the Yankees would ever want to make a deal with the Mets and Vice Versa. It's like the Sox making a trade with the Cubs. They're too close to be making deals with eachother.

QUOTE(Carlo Paz @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 01:34 AM) I am truly f***ing baffled at the talk of Konerko as an all-star. Can someone please explain it? Check the stats he's the second best 1st basman in the AL behind Teixiera.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 01:33 AM) Ok, thanks kalapse, I remember he was in a bunch of jams that game and I think he worked around a few of 'em so maybe that's why I thought he had a real good outing. FWIW that was the Rowand 2HR game at Fenway. Ben Davis also had 4 RBI.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 01:29 AM) IIRC he did pitch a pretty good game at fenway for us last year at some point but when he was with NY he definitely got lit up against the Red Sox. Chicago White Sox IP H R ER BB SO HR Contreras W(10-5) 6 4 4 4 5 8 1 He got the win and 8 strikeouts while only allowing 4 hits, the problem is he walked 5 and gave up 4 ERs. Not very encouraging.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 01:20 AM) Except if you listen he says fair ball, not foul ball. He did fine. Your hearing was the only thing botched about that call. Can you say pwn3d

So no Politte or Hermanson. I see Buehrle, Garland and Konerko making it but the outfield is already cloged up enough for Pods to make it. And he's saying that they're going to carry 3 Catchers? Varitek, IROID and AJ? I don't see that happening.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 12:55 AM) God Jeckle just Owned himself right there. He tends to do that.

His wife is god damn smoken.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 12:51 AM) I just rejected a trade of Zambrano for Perez yesterday. Oh well, I think Zambrano is going on the DL soon anyways. Carlos? he pitched an 8 inning shutout today. He was unbelievable. I doubt he goes on the DL.

Done Deal

You're right, we are lucky. We suck badly and should probably be in 3rd place. We'll fade after the All-Star break and miss the playoffs again.

GO BUEHRLE! HE SHOULD START! Anyone who thinks halladay should start is a Blue Jay's fan. Roy Halladay has better stats than Buehrle in almost every f***ing category. Halladay is having he better season and should start the All-Star game. Picking Halladay over Buehrle does not make you any less of a Sox fan and it does not meen you don't love Buehrle.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 11:27 PM) Where's the Crede one you were gonna do? I'm working on it. It's going to be killer.

If you're going to smoke crack can you please not make topics afterwords.

QUOTE(Wolverine31 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 11:38 PM) This game just illustrates how lucky the White Sox have been this year. You have well over 20 one run wins this year. You are bound to come tumbling back to Earth next season because you are not as good as your record indicates, not by a long shot. That lead off triple scores most of the time, but the White Sox lucked out again. Plus, I think it's highly likely your pitchers are having career years rather than having established a new level of performance. This game just stunk. That shot in the 9th should have been out. The sick thing is that as a Tigers fan, I knew after it stayed in Comerica Canyon, that we wouldn't score. That's how little faith I have for hackers like Dmitri Young and Craig Monroe to even hit a sac fly in the clutch. It seems like these guys choke the big one and try for home runs rather than do the small things that win games. It seems like we find a way to lose lately, like the botched double play in Arizona that cost us to lose a game where we gave up no earned runs. BTW, Ordonez is rehabbing in Toledo and is supposed to be back at the end of the week. We will see if it actually was the knee that was bothering him. Hope he can produce. :finger :finger

I downloaded it and have been messing around with it for a while, one of the coolest programs I've ever seen.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) Haven't seen it mentioned, but thanks to Foulke, Timlin gave up 2 ER so his ERA is now 1.64. The problem with that is his manager is the Coach of the AL AS team, so Timlin would get selected over Politte if he was to take a middle reliever.
