QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 01:14 PM) Is anyone else sick and tired of hearing announcers and such talking about Quentin as some no-name non-prospect who came out of no where? I know a lot of people here, including myself, are not completely shocked by the awesome-ness of him. And Dye is red hot. That ball kept carrying! Are we listening to the same announcers? I heard them say he just flew through the D'backs minor league system got injured and maybe lost a little confidence. Nice hit Joe ! Got the lead and we won't give it up.

WOOOOOOOOO !!! To Dye for !

We're at home. Time to get it rolling.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 01:04 PM) I believe Coop has a strained hammy, so Ozzie will probably be making most of the mound visits for the next few weeks. Yes he does but Ozzie also did it on last sundays game too.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 01:00 PM) And starting Wise already costs us a run. What did Wise do ? I saw him mishandle picking up the ball on the Ward base hit but that run was already scoring.

Ozzie seems to make a lot of mound appearances on nationally televised games.

I've had Kane and Toews in my avatar so I think its great.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 06:44 PM) So a TECHNICALITY is something to be happy about when this team is terrible and soon about to LOSE that technicality? LOL. 1st is better than second always.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 06:42 PM) Keep pitching Ramirez outside. He's been leaning across the plate all series. Please keep him honest and put one in his ribs. We need a lttle hate ! Like Valentine mocking the Sosa kiss, knockdown pitch, anything to show some balls if your not gonna hit worth a damn.

It's like watching the Blackhawks on national TV begging please score and stop looking so impotent !

Anyone else think AJ is framing pitches a little bit more than he used to ? I'd see him just grab pitches sometimes I think are close and just fling them back to the pitcher as fast as possible. Nice throw AJ !

Time to stop pretending we can't score runs off Dempster now.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 05:57 PM) Another benefit of not having Hawk/DJ. Every broken bat gives them an excuse to suggest broken bats are dangerous, and how they'd rarely break back in their day. Ha. You don't like that bit of information over and over and over again so much you think you're stuck in Groundhog Day ?

I was hoping Thome would start at 1st. Got the young Mr. Longhair himself in the throwback avatar.

DP's suck nothing drains hope like a DP.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 05:41 PM) but javy's gonna be gone by the 3rd at this rate... which does not bode well Sign sign everywhere a sign. Doesn't bode well doesn't mean its destined to be.

o ye of little faith. I can't be the only one who can see its not over till its over. Its the 1st inning.

I feel better now . We took the lead in the other games and ended up losing . So now it's the Cub's turn to do it.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 05:32 PM) This won't be a first place team for long. Embarrassing. We're doing better so far than most of us predicted at the beginning of the year. Every day we're in the hunt for the playoffs is gravy.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 05:30 PM) Tell me we aren't preparing ourselves for a sweep. Vazquez almost seems resigned to it. Somehow he forgot to pitch. We seem just as resigned to it do we not ?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 05:28 PM) Double play? Triple play ??

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 05:24 PM) Please don't get Heads going about Iowa. I'm convinced he looks for any reason to talk about his irrelevant state, and you're just adding reason for him to go on. Sometimes I like to stir the pot. It sure beats the usual doom and gloom in here. So Heads tell me a lil somthing about those ISU Cyclones. Haven't they been a wrestling powerhouse for a very long time ?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 05:19 PM) I'm an Iowa State Cyclone fan. Being a White Sox fan is still pretty damn easy compared to that. I won't pretend to know anything about Iowa State cept maybe I recall some good wrestling programs ??

That said. C'mon Sox ! !!!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 05:08 PM) Why do I keep coming back to this team? They make me hate them so much sometimes, yet seeing that 05 trophy makes it slightly better. Sure its frustrating . Nothing in life worth having is ever easy. Watch. Enjoy . Keep it in perspective .
