I hope my new avvy makes CQ have a good day.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 12:54 PM) I still think Fields should be out there. Yeah Uribe's glove is "fantastic" and what ever else, but it was just pointless in calling up Josh if he was just gonna keep Uribes buffet seat warm. I think Josh's play may have screwed him out of a starting spot next year.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 10:12 AM) Its a running joke. One Mod locks it for his distaste in the thread, the other unlocks it to piss the other mod off Seems like a nice thread to me.

Why is this thread almost always locked?

QUOTE (Karko's Throat Skin @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 08:55 AM) So after this year, who won't be returning to the Sox? Crede, Thome, Griffey Jr, Cabrera? Others? Thome's option vests with about 30 more games.

Hopefully Clayton gets both good defense and good luck this time out. He has pitched a lot better than the stats say. I'd like to see him get his first win and then help us in the pen from here on out. If he does well today, management will really shorten the leash on Contreras's 3-inning beatings.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 10:12 PM) One of the Sox articles on chicagosports. I'm pretty sure PK has sucked against Greinke in his career. So since PK has sucked against Greinke in his career and in general this season, we bench Thome and play PK?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 11:04 PM) Looks like no Thome on Sunday, with Griffey Jr. at DH. per?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 10:15 PM) I find it sort of funny the talk about how the Sox "don't deserve" to be in first right now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Sox are currently on one of their longest road trips of the season right now, while Minny has been getting comfortable at home. They lost today, on the road, to a team better than the Indians. The Twins, already seeing the Sox had lost today, blew a huge game, AT HOME, against the worst team in the Central. However, they apparently are the ones that belong in first. Interesting. ^^^^ People acting like we don't deserve to have won more games than Minnesota. Edit: Lost less.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 08:58 PM) Sox dodged a bullet there....thanks Indians It's nice to stay in first place, but a day out of first place in not the end of our season, contrary to the feeling of some posters on this board. As a matter of fact, the harsh reality of second place could be a nice motivator to get our game in gear.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 09:33 PM) yeah apparently the only way to compete in the league now is getting 3 big pieces to put on the court KG-Allen-Pierce Yao-Artest-McGrady Noah-Deng-Rose ..... eh eh? That makes me feel worse than I already thought we were.

Some players may have been affected but aren't on super close injury watch like Griffey and simply played through a lingering cramp.

QUOTE (Winning Ugly @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 05:51 PM) GREAT F'ING COACHING OZZIE! I can see why Griff and OC had to leave, but why Quentin?? As far as that goes, Quentin's replacement started the rally with a HR.

QUOTE (robin23 @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 04:35 PM) juan was a fighter that at bad but we needed him to get it done This post showed up at least 30 seconds before he struck out on my tv.

QUOTE (Winning Ugly @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 04:33 PM) STAY IN THERE URINE!!! Maybe you should try Flomax.

QUOTE (Winning Ugly @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 04:33 PM) Carlos is out of the game. BA will save us!

Hey that looked like a 2 strike swing.

Uribe not looking good at all here.

Anybody but Uribe in this situation.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 08:26 AM) Wow. In a strange sort of way, I respect someone who shows a little flair and style for their "final exit". The downside is the mess and trauma for those that have to clean up. That is wrong. Yes the truck caused a minor traffic accident and strangely enough it took a while to find the head. The head rolled off to a nearby restaurant that closed not long after the incident. The family was both shocked and humiliated. He seemed to be a happy guy.

Yeah even top athletes are susceptible to cramps in these conditions. He probably didn't even feel any serious cramping, but just a hint of a cramp is good reason to leave the game especially for Griffey. A bad cramp can you leave you sore for days.

Griffey!

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 01:58 PM) Awfulannouncing.com Wow we're hardly even covered, its practically just a local telecast. What's the point of Fox picking up the game?

Reading that really made me want to make the trip up there next year and show you old men how its done.

A man in my town drove a tow truck for a living and at his place of work he took a chain, tied it around his neck, tied it to a nearby pole, and proceeded to floor it in his truck.
