72-53. Season high 19 games over .500. Clayton Richard 1st ML win with 6 shutout innings. Thome, Swisher with HR's. White Sox 5 Mariners 0. Cell magic continues.

I predict Quentin will be a solid candidate for MVP as will Ramirez for ROY. Gavin will shave his head after his 12th win in August. There will be shaving cream pies all over the damn place after wins. Crede will be an All-Star then have a back relapse and Uribe will take over at 3rd and will do a credible enough job not to piss off all of Soxtalk except Dick Allen .

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 07:55 PM) Glad I didn't listen to certain members and went ahead and wathed the game tonight. Nice job Richard and offense. :gosoxretro: You mean you actually take some of these guys seriesly ?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 11:56 AM) There is really no question that Broadway should be starting. I'm not sure why they were so worried about bullpen depth either, everybody knows Oakland can't hit, it's not like we were going to Texas. And I'm also REALLY not sure why we pitched Richard for an inning Sunday with an 11 run lead with him starting today being the plan. But whatever, with King Felix pitching, I don't think it matters who pitches today between the two of them because we are going to lose anyways. Don't quit your day job for a future of prognostications.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 11:27 AM) But he throws a knuckleball. How many of our guys have faced someone like him beofre? I'd say there's about as good of a chance that our offense lays an egg against him as there is they light him up for 10+ runs. Maybe on the road but they won't lay an egg at home against this guy.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 12:55 PM) I'd love to, but I am waiting on a few bios. Bio writers can reference Wikipedia if that helps.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 01:46 AM) lets get #70 today... We did and so did the damn Twins. Granny by Alexei, Quentin #34, Dye and Uribe homer also. Javy shuts down A's . 13-1 laugher.

Never had seen that video with Mel Allen. How rude that Mel calls him Louis. Tex in the bio you also called him Louis.

QUOTE (Felix @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 03:15 PM) ^^ I'm a little bit of both here, but for the most part I'm pretty tired of people being so damned negative over every play. Better avoid the game thread then. Seriesly.

Sox win the 13 run pool.

When you give up 3 HR's to a team with only 88 on the year, that tells you the pitch selection was idiotic. 2 fastballs that Cust hit out is brutal.

Thats 3 outs on the bases tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 09:23 PM) Yep, leave in the fastball pitcher to bat against the fastball hitter. Boone Logan's fall from grace really hurts there. It shouldn't . Ramirez is lefty isn't he ?

D'OH tel.

Decent job Gavin. Thats why you're in my avatar.

Gavin " THe Hills Have Eyes" Floyd.

OK Frank knock it off.

POW !

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 06:46 PM) He needs the ABs, more importantly, because he is one of our best players. That goes without saying.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 03:43 PM) go sox!!! Welcome !

Alexei kills lefties . He should be batting 2nd all 3 games. He needs the AB's to be eligible for the batting title.

7 run 4th inning, Twins 9 Mariners 2.

Alexei having a hard time winning Rookie of the Month. Lost out to Longoria in June and now Chris Davis of Texas in July while batting .355 in June and .341 in July.

I don't generally make predictions about individuals. I did predict the team would need some of the young guys to come through just to reach .500. Well almost all the question marks have come through to this point (Quentin, Ramirez, Danks and Floyd) . I remember advocating trading Konerko also because I thought 1st base might be the only position Fields would be able to play and I wasn't thrilled about Swisher being the CF. Ramirez and Anderson had monster springs and I had hoped both of them would come through.

Yankees up 4-3 ,1st and 3rd nobody out.
