Jake

Yeah, tough road ahead for Indiana. If they win it now, I'll have a ton of respect.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ May 20, 2012 -> 04:47 PM) On my bandwagon I do not accept any of this...Why does this team "deserve" to be 60-60...come on Jake you've been one of my favorite posters this year. I'm not saying that we deserve to be...I'm just saying that even if we did, we could still be a playoff team.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 20, 2012 -> 04:22 PM) You got time? Very far from my area of expertise. I'm completely worthless when you need something other than me running my mouth

QUOTE (flavum @ May 20, 2012 -> 04:39 PM) 70-50 the rest of the way. Let's do this. Yup. Even a team that deserves to be 60-60 can go on a run and be 70-50

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 20, 2012 -> 03:38 PM) FWIW my friend says he met ODawg and said he was an asshole. sounds like your friend is a racist

Reed gave up a couple there that I thought would be out if that mighty wind was so mighty. Lucked out throwing some bad pitches. but all's well that ends well! SWEEP!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 20, 2012 -> 04:08 PM) Rios hit for him. Let Rios pitch then.

Thanks Ian!

I'd leave Crain out there, at least one more hitter. He needs to get some reps so he can get his s*** together when the game is closer than this.

Weird seeing Crain not featuring the slider

I remember when we used to see Thornton sitting at 96-97

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 20, 2012 -> 03:37 PM) Crain warming. We're going to need to see him get back on track soon...no day better than today. A Thornton-ish Thornton and a normal Jesse Crain along with the young guys Jones-Reed makes for a hell of a good back end of bullpen.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 20, 2012 -> 01:47 PM) Except the last month of last year where he crushed it. Then this spring where he started off strong again, only to have a back injury which has obliterated his swing. * I don't know that to be the case. If the back injury really happened within the last week or 2, then okay, he did suck for a month on his own, but it seems that wasn't the case. At this point, I'm just gonna have to chalk it up to competition. The worst part is during that month he still batted .224 (in before OPS omgzors!). I just don't see anything real encouraging as far as production and I don't see him as a particularly high upside player that deserves a bunch of chances. If I'm running the team, he has to put up some impressive numbers in the minors before I'm going to embarrass the two of us by having him on the Sox again. QUOTE (Cali @ May 20, 2012 -> 01:59 PM) Bit of an odd signing if only for the fact that O-Dog seems like one of those "Clubhouse Personalities" that don't mesh in the Sox world. A guy like Swish... I think that is a thing of the Ozzie era

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 20, 2012 -> 03:31 PM) Matt's getting old. He's losing control and velocity. Glad to see he's been using more offspeed the past few outings.

Get ahead of somebody you moron

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 20, 2012 -> 03:29 PM) I was at the game in Anaheim . If you have the DVD during the Pepsi 7th inning stretch you see a Sox fan with a kid on his lap. That's my buddy murph (whitesoxmurph in my sig, though he never posts on here). I was right next to him , not on camera. So close, yet so far away

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 20, 2012 -> 03:28 PM) Looks like Barney fooled the crowd on that one. Not exactly a tough crowd to get something by on

Glad to see Thornton mixing in a breaking ball.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 20, 2012 -> 03:23 PM) Huh, wind didn't catch that. That's what I was thinking

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 20, 2012 -> 03:21 PM) Those are good dogs. Is that message in your sig from 2005?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 20, 2012 -> 03:14 PM) If you don't play that RF regularly, you don't know that. Yep. I just expect him to know it from here on out

Rios: That's how you do it

I can just see ligaments, tendons, and cartilage tearing with every Jake Peavy stride Like the scene in the Forrest Gump when Forrest runs for the first time...except instead of braces exploding, it's Peavy's body

It scares me seeing Peavy run so hard.

Nice job Peavy! Hell of a play by Castro to get one there
