It would be nice to have a normal american league offense instead of having to hope that our pitchers outpitch the 2005 Sox. Even on this little run, we have had to pitch our asses off to get some wins.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 05:22 PM) They still didn't really have any clear cut chances. Sure they had lots of shots on goals, but no chances where you thought, oh man they should have scored there. I would have put Fabregas on for Busquets and played Alonso deeper myself. They are obviously taking things slowly with Torres as he was injured at the end of the EPL season. Also so much for my South Africa prediction. Not a big Mexico fan, but after Henry's handball bulls*** to knock out Ireland France can go f*** themselves. Hope Mexico destroys France.

Happy Birthday. Here is a guide just in case you get some birthday fun from your top 100 list. :lolhitting :lolhitting

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:58 PM) Gavin Floyd did not swallow his gum in the first when Herm ran out to the mound. The real reason: Gavin's cup was pinching his balls. Outside of Rios, and maybe Konerko the rest of our hitters might have a hard time locating theirs.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:32 PM) We need the return of Brian Anderson for that game. Basically all they have to do is IBB Rios and Konerko and he can not hit this team.

Strasburg should get a kick out of watching video of our offense as he prepares for Friday. We can't hit mediocre pitchers.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 09:38 PM) If this was AJP's last game, I want to say that his pitch calling this series was absolutely phenomenal. They are not trading him. Kenny is pretty easily fooled into thinking that any teams is a winner just lurking to break out. A nice little run against bad NL teams might get some prospects shipped off for our run that will never appear.

Well congrats to Floyd for pitching his ass off. For a 3 hit, 1 run effort you get an L.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 09:31 PM) I can't stand this f***ing team. What the f*** was Konerko doing swinging at two sliders that f***ing low and away? He was practically begging to hit into a DP. We don't teach or preach fundamental baseball at any part of our organization. No one has a clue on what do do in a situation besides just hit. Until we fix our overall organizational philosophy on how to instruct our players, and how we approach baseball we will have frustrating moments like this.

A flyout to lose it. Nice approach mopes. 2 runs in 2 games. Thank god the NL pitching is here for our offense to feast on.

Amazing how we have the inability to make contact in contact situations. How can we play fundamental baseball if we don't know how fundamentals work.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) Now win this. This. ^^^^^

Who gives a crap about cub fans gloating over no hitting a terrible hitting club. I had some ass hat on Fridays game screaming every time a single was hit. Goooo CUBBBIES, thats ITS thats our RALLY, WOOOOo. Good god, they cheer a flyout like its a home run. They have no clue. I am more pissed off that our pitcher pitched his ass off and he is on the downside of our offense being bad.

Hey look a line drive. Oh wait wrong team. We hit fly balls.

So 2 runs for our sox in their last 16 2/3 inning. Keep popping the ball up goofs. Line drive swings be gone.

Maybe someone should alert the sox that the ball isn't carrying.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) Maybe that is why Gordon Beckham has been a mental headcase because of the changes. We are the kings of tinker tinker. We can't fix hitters that are failing, but good lord we can fix those that are hitting.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 11:53 AM) Sure strikes out a lot though. Maybe he needs more time in the minor leagues before he tries to hit major league pitching. I know it's a novel approach but maybe it makes a little sense rather than trading away AJ for some crap just to save $4M and then watching Flowers flounder away at the big league level. And if scouts from other teams think he's as good as you say, maybe it would be better to re-sign AJ and trade Flowers while his value is so high. Sure lets resign AJ for 3 or 4 years because aging catchers find the fountain of youth and get better post 34 years old. Happens all the time. I think people forget that without magical pharmaceuticals most people age normally and eventually have declining skills due to age progression. It might not happen next year, but eventually age will catch up with all players.

You know. I got to watch Kane from a unique point of view at the Cubs/Sox game. I was on that rooftop with him right behind him. I watched a 21/22 year old kid, having a good time, not out of control, trying to meet girls. He was not out of control, he was not obnoxious, he was not crazed. He spent a lot of the game, scoping out girls, living in the moment taking a breather from a pretty interesting rollercoaster ride over the last 48 hours. I can share some fun things. The rooftop next door tried a few times to lure him over there. They pulled just about every hot chick they could, and when that didnt work. The owner just basically brought two girls up to the edge and told him he wanted him to party over there. Kane said, I am fine where I am at. Thanks though. Kaner eventually picked out some pretty good looking dark haired girl with a blue shirt from the rooftop and had the bodyguard go and get him the intro. Watching him try to pick up this girl was pretty funny. In the end he was making pretty good progress before her friend tried to run a block on it. Kaners wingman didn't do his job. I kind of felt bad for the guy. Lots of people being dbags trying to make sure that Patrick would sign or take a picture with him. Literally people screaming at him. Patrick, Patrick, here, right here. Over here Kaner. Look at me. Some chick started going off on him because she didn't like the fact that he was trying to pick up some other girl. Started with a rant on how none of these people are fans like she is. It was pretty comical. People trying to get based his security was funny as well. I have some pictures I took today that I will post up here. Funniest comment. Some chick that was from another state didn't know who he was. She says, Whats the big deal. I don't care who he is, he has a mullett. LMAO

I would rather have Hahn as the long term GM. But having Guillen with more power than KW is like having a crack addict in charge of the collection plate.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 08:30 PM) There is a lot of frustration for US law enforcement on the border. People running back across the border and taunting insults. People up north thinking you are doing a s***ty job. Most Americans along the border have relatives and friends south of the border. What about the frustration of Mexican troops aiming weapons at our law enforcement agents. Its one thing when you have to deal with the illegal immigrants, but its another issue when you involve the neighbors and their troops.

Used to own one of these. This was a monster of a machine. Lots of power, and super light. Riding is one of the best experiences around. Nothing beats it. Just remember for all of you riders out there. Keep safe and protect yourself. Have seen too many accidents.

Scott Niedermayer in the La Times: Congrats to the Blackhawks.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) Catching up with him I guess. Thornton too This is just part of the learning process for a young reliever. He is a converted SS. This year is about development.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 08:26 PM) Refs miss a trip which leads to a goal. Then Hossa gets pushed into Leighton and that's a penalty. I call BS. What a crock of s***. You need to check betting chits when these types of phantom calls are being called.
