QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 09:24 PM) What is Ozzie doing!!! What if we tie this game and AJ gets hurt in extra innings?!?!? I hate you.

Why is Ozzie pinch hitting AJ?!?!?! When we come back he might get hurt and we won't have a backup catcher!

:uhoh

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 09:12 PM) I just can't wait till we go mono-to-mono 13 more times this year with the Tigers. It will be great baseball and I can imagine we will have a few more board blow-ups during those games ala tonight. I'm gonna need to get me some Prozac this is so depressing.

Adding insult to injury there.

Ozzie needs to take one out of Leyland's book and whip these guys into shape.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 09:02 PM) I can't believe that after the last 180 games or so, anyone would still consider our ace the guy pitching tonight, and not on Sunday. You're probably right, I just like to think Mark will return to form soon. Remember the off-season days of "5 Aces! WOO!" Lest we forget.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 08:58 PM) Rooks are like 1-9 against us this year. We just weren't good tonight. Didn't say it was a trend. As a fan I just don't like seeing a big game come up against a rookie with our ace on the mound and not take advantage of several opportunities against an inexperienced opponent.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) Lester is undefeated this season with a 3.06 ERA and Delcarmen has had ups and downs but a 3.86 ERA overall. Pretty good. Sarcasm without the green, pointing out we got beat by a couple young no-names.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 08:43 PM) Hooray for getting beat by Manny Delcarmen and Jon Lester. Who?

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 08:22 PM) Can I get a quick update on how we've looked? Just got home. Ignorance is bliss.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jul 7, 2006 -> 12:38 PM) Ding, ding, ding! "This guy can go yard, folks. His next one will be his 3rd." Whenever something exciting is happening, you can't even tell on the radio because neither Farmer nor Singleton show any enthusiasm as something is happening. It drives me nuts.

Anyone to get rid of Cliffy.

How many teams have gone 11-1 in the playoffs? Come on, no '05 Sox?

The starters haven't done well lately, and every team has stints during the season where they don't play well. The nice thing is, our team is so good that we aren't playing well and still winning at a championship pace. I believe that it's a safe assumption that our starters will return to form sooner rather than later, with the possible exception of Vasquez, who seems to always underachieve. (However, the Cooper fix took almost a year on Contreras, not that I advocate promoting a season of mediocrity before he does well.)

Wow, those are absolutely huge changes.

I'm only disappointed because I wanted to see Anderson rock some ass again before he serves his suspension.

A lot of pro-life supporters will say abortion is okay in cases of rape, but with our justice system it takes much longer than 9 months to prove someone was or wasn't raped. The abortion couldn't be done with proof of guilt or innocence.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 03:46 PM) Here is a discussion question on that topic... Which would be more effective - creating a viable third party, or having the leaders of one party or the other drag the party back towards the middle? I think if another party was formed, eventually one party would end up falling out of favor and we'd be back to our two party system.

That's crazy, driving 40 miles south to Bloomington-Normal without asking would get my ass kicked at home. I wouldn't even think about trying to pull that kind of stunt.
