Paulie good. Fire sucks !

Start the Paulie chant now .

4 pitches 3 hits 2 runs 1 in my heart.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2008 -> 05:18 PM) Buehrle can't pitch over the error, and KC has the 1-0 lead. KC's 1st ,last and only run of the game.

Cubs fan would definitely take it better. Cubs fan stardard response: " Oh the party's over ? On to the next party." Sox fan standard response: I can't beileve we lost to the Cubs ! Guillen sucks ! Trade (insert players who had a bad WS) ! We didn't lose we gave it away !

An enlightening article about the behind the scene life of Cuban ballplayers , defecting and life in general in Cuba. Thanks for sharing.

Wow there's some real bad clutch hitting going on for the A.L. This game would've been over had they left Clutch Crede in.

End it Grady.

See it's not just the Sox who are bad at situational hitting.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 09:25 PM) It's destiny for Uggla to f*** up multiple times this game only to come up now in a situation to give the NL the lead. It is ? Better get your crystal ball fixed.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 09:23 PM) too much of a slow loopy toss No stretch towards the throw either.

Maybe Uggla can hit into another DP.

Second time Q had the 2-0 count and then made an out.

American League got hosed twice on the basepaths.

Hamilton won't even have to hit again.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 05:49 PM) Isn't everyone's favorite part of the Josh Hamilton saga when the Cubs dealt him for nothing? HA yes it is !

WOW ! When will he get tired ?

What's he hit about 18 in a row ?

This is so much fun to watch.

All you have to do is bump the where the sox will finish predictions thread to see that most Sox fans should be overjoyed at being in 1st place. I predicted a .500 or worse team based on only 1 or 2 of the young players improving on last season along with career norms for the rest of the team. Almost every young guy has done way better than expected. CQ, Alexei, Danks and Floyd in particular have catapulted this team into a bonafide contender. The bullpen's 1st half numbers far exceed the numbers from last year. I fully expect the young hitters to keep up the pace. It's the pitchers I worry about returning to the mean. But if everyone keeps doing what they're doing we're a playoff bound team and I couldn't be happier about that.

Thome's been very good since I went to the young Mr. Thome avatar .

yep
