s*** dude...my dad owns a trucking company...I'm not even sure what this means.

Buehrle. He's been here a while, he's a horse, and he's not afraid to be a horse's ass. He's a great face to this team and from my limited knowledge a capable leader.

Yeah, I'm not blaming us losing on anything at all especially not the fans. I'm talking about something completely different, our pessimism.

I think part of our pessimism on this board is because our team wins, yes, but we don't look good on paper. Our lineup on paper looks absolutely flat, and no matter what there's no number for clutch hitting so we can't really know if that is true or not. Our staff looks decent on paper, although some things have inflated lately and our back end doesn't look stellar on paper. Our bullpen on paper actually does look good on paper although I personally don't have too much trust in it at times. But overall, i think its the fact that on paper we appear to be overachieving, and our keys to winning often can't be measured with numbers. No stat for team chemisty, no Ozzie Factor stat, no true stat for clutch hitting, no stat for judgement of fly balls, a lot of our claims to fame this year aren't exactly easy to measure. So yes, my friends, I can understand your pessimism, when our play seems to match our look on paper.

Bajenaru sucks! This BULLs*** is why he isn't in the majors! :finger

It said Griffey's throw was late! f*** that trade!

I made him not nice instead of an a-hole

:headshake EDIT:not nice person. EDIT: Prolly shouldn't say that, but god damn.

Now, that was a good show. Or, how about "Legends of the Hidden Temple"? I think that was what it was called anyway. I used to watch "Are you Afraid of the Dark?"..I remember being 6 and thinking I was a badass because it was rating Y-7 ... Was that temple a like gameshow or am I way off track?

Griffey cleared waivers? Where did this come from? I had no idea! All praise Bruuuuuuuce!

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) Yeah really, from the signs given by the sox Baj will not be given a shot. Why would you give him a shot? You've got Kevin Walker tearing s*** up in AAA.

Come on guys...

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 11:52 AM) I don't know how 'speed' would improve your baseball skills. I can see it helping in football, where there is more reckless abandon. I remember Brian Bozworth wrote that he'd take a handfull of 'no doze' before the game and more at halftime. Baseball, especially hitting, is more about muscle control and timing, so I don't see how being 'wired' would help. It's for when theyre worn out/feel the need for an extra edge over the long season.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) Yep. It's not that far off. Young isn't even considered our best prospect. He's viewed as a guy with some of the most potential in the organization, but it's not even a sure thing he's going to reach it. Potential is a dangerous word.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 11:38 PM) yeah my jessica one was to big of a file. where'd you get that anyway?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 12:43 PM) FWIW, the Score's George Offman is reporting that Griffey Jr. cleared waivers. YAY! Let's get it on!

Take a joke. I got a nice laugh out of it.

BIG football town here in Pontiac. If we dont make it to quarterfinals, we have a disappointed town. If you're wondering how much these people care, two years ago when we played Belleville (next to St. Louis)in the semi-finals we brought 3,000 fans. That's a 3 hour drive for us and 3,000 people out of our 11,000 person town (including inmates) showed up. That's huge. When our team went 6-4 the next year, losing our first conference game in 12 years, the town was in uproar.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 08:33 AM) He's just tired, that's all. The other day he got a really good jump but halfway through he looked like he was running in slow motion. He wasn't able to dig like he was in the first half, he was running more upright. If he gets a little time off he'll be fine. Not only that, some catchers have made great plays on him. Off topic, but your sig = the s***. I wanna be the Widge when I grow up Not even sure if I want that in green..lol

I don't think this will be as bad as we thought.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 01:03 AM) This is an uproar? Wait until Brad Fullmer gets off the DL.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 12, 2005 -> 07:35 AM) B&R's avatar looks like there's a Magical Light emitting from Billy Ocean's penis. I HOPE that's the just the camera flash..... ..... ...... ...... :puke LMAO I was just thinking the same thing...this is just too bizarre..
