Extra Innings giving the choice tonight of which team you want. Hmmmm Hawk and DJ or Blyleven's babbling ass?!?!?!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 01:40 PM) A reminder of all that is good: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=34...zIIrq4gLrrsmHCA Plus this, tell me this doesn't just choke you up. Scott Podsednik (World Series 2005 Game 2) This is the sort of stuff we're playing for. HEADS.....LOVED IT!!! I'll ALWAYS love Pods for that moment. I know this sounds stupid...but I wonder if Paulie ever sits at home and pops in an '05 ALCS or WS DVD? It's like watchin' a friggin Rocky movie for me!

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 02:33 PM) What if Paulie starts tonight and hits like 3 HR'S?That be kinda wierd with all this drama today. I thought about that...

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 01:22 PM) Jersey # 17. My favorite Sox to ever wear #17.... Carlos May was born May 17, 1948. The back of his White Sox uniform read "May 17." Just a little trivia...

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 02:25 PM) Which is fine. There are some that are saying stupid things. Even keel, for me, is just about right. It gives us options we didn't have... and there's good and bad elements to it. That's how you roll the dice. True...all he is a Rent-a-Bat for a few months anyway.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 02:11 PM) Collect the $50 from him, then take him out to dinner using the money. Will be the best $50 you ever spent. Good idea YAS! I'll probably be flying back there in the next month or two.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 01:41 PM) I must say that (I know his stats aren't the greatest, but...) just having Griffey on the Sox is something I would have never thought I'd see. I bet my dad 50 bucks about 4 years ago that some day Griffey would be in a Sox uni. He's not answering his phone right now!

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 09:56 PM) Loaded for the Tribe, nobody out. and they crap down their leg.....pffffffffffffft.

Tonight was a HUGE game. Gavin came up big. CQ came up big. Lexi with a big hit. It's almost like a huge monkey off everybody's back. You'd never know we were 8-6 against the Twins this year.....

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 08:13 PM) The D-Backs would love that one back. I live in Phx...and hear people b****ing about it on a daily basis. It's GREAT!!!!

What a very enjoyable game so far. Sox scoring runs. Gavin shutting them down. And the Twins announcers microphones have been FUBAR'd the past 2 or 3 innings and I can't hear 'em!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 08:06 PM) What a game by Gavin. He's at 95 pitches now...think he pitches the 8th? With a 7 run lead i'd just assume bring in Carrasco, Wass or Logan I wouldn't.....

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 08:02 PM) Because its absolutely ridiculous around here when we're losing, and the past two days have bordered on hilarity. What's ridiculous is when people take it as gospel and not understand it's just frustrated fans who love this team venting. Yes...FANS!!!

I've never seen that...

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 04:02 PM) He's supposedly been horrible in their clubhouse, and I know they love Inge behind the plate. That's the only logic I can see behind this move, and even with that it's pretty bad. Where'd you hear that?.... from a casual observer...I'd be pissed if I were a Tiger fan...or a pitcher on the Tigers.

Beautiful play OC.......

Good God........

Gotta tell ya...seeing the Twins sleeveless uni's really makes me bitter we canned ours.

COME ON PAULIE...keep this stuff goin.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 05:27 PM) Didn't he botch a semi-errant throw from Alexei about a week ago? It wasn't an easy play, but I remember thinking Paulie probably would've come up with it. These are valid arguments, especially with Paulie's arm going to crap over the past couple of years. Heck, I'd argue that Swish not needing to reach across his body to apply a tag during a pickoff attempt is also a plus. That said, being able to scoop balls out of the dirt and being a large and forgiving target are probably the most important defensive attributes for a 1B. Frank excelled at both, which is why his fat ass and girl-strength arm didn't get in the way of him being an every-day 1B for the first half of his career. Having a 1B with good range and a good arm (e.g., Mark Grace) is always a plus, but there's a reason why guys like Frank, Mark McGwire, and David Ortiz played 1B for years. The best thing about Swisher playing 1B is Anderson playing CF. I've played CF and 3B from Little League through Beer League and have no idea what you're talking about. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I've always played the left side and pitched as well as CF. To me...it always made a big difference on the infield...especially as a pitcher.

Why the hell do they boo AJ?....not like he left them.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 10:51 PM) From what I've seen, Paulie is much better at scooping balls out of the dirt than Swish. And I don't understand how infield enthusiasm differs from outfield enthusiasm. Swish is pretty decent at scooping...plus I think has better range...AND can make the throw to second. As for infield/outfield enthusiasm...have you ever played on the infield or pitched. I have...and once on a team that pretty much had the same deadpan demeanor as Paulie...and it was terrible. Not knocking Paulie for it or anything...but it makes a difference IMO...especially with a young guy next to you like Lexi.

I feel like we're the Buzz and we're going up against Carlos Liston. "Carlos Liston is a religion..."

a broken bat HR?!?

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 08:44 PM) There is a better chance of Porky Pig becoming president than us getting 2 runs off Nathan. Funny...on FSN Minny they just had an Al Franken commercial about him running for congress. I thought it was a joke at first.
