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 .

Awesome shot by ESPN of the double rainbow over Wrigley.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2008 -> 04:13 PM) What, a top young player? If they don't get that then they have no reason to trade Roberts. a year and a half from now he walks as a FA and they get 2 draft picks that have good value because he's a guaranteed type A person, they like him on their team anyway, etc. If they don't get something of real solid value then they'd be stupid to deal him. From our system, that means Danks, Floyd, or Quentin. Poreda, Fields, Broadway, Richar, you name the person, or even a combination of them, just isnt' enough to get him. Normally I have no quarrel with what you say, so let me check my reading comprehension level here . You just said the Orioles wouldn't give up Roberts for any cominbination of the 6 players you mentioned ? You don't think the Orioles would part with Roberts for an offer of Danks and Floyd ? For that matter either one of them + Quentin ? I don't normally overrate the Sox talentpool but Floyd , Danks and Quentin are good young players with a lot of potential and I can't see the Orioles saying no to any 2 of those players ( not that I'd make that trade). So please tell me you didn't say what I think you said.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 04:30 PM) ROFL... And when your done checking out "Wendy" check out the Oz/Piniella rap commercial if you haven't seen it. http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/tag/chicago_white_sox

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2008 -> 11:59 PM) I'm worried about the Thome thing. I mean I have a real premonition he's gonna butcher it at first and give the critics one more thing to bury Oz on as well as cost us any chance of winning. You worry too much. A real premonition huh? Sounds more like your worst fears come true. It's not your problem. Don't worry be happy.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 21, 2008 -> 10:15 PM) Please do not use Jim Thome at 1b! One game isn't worth him possibly getting injured and being out for an extended period. Can't run a team scared. Put him out there and let the chips fall where they may.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 09:26 AM) I am completely surrounded by Cubs fans, and I never have any problems. No offense, but a lot of you guys are meatheads. Just smile and go with the flow.

It's just time to end some streaks. Cub's have won way too many in a row at home and the Sox have lost way too many in a row on the road. Loosen up ,have some fun, and kick ass.

OMFG isn't Edmonds supposed to be washed up ?
