After seeing this tonight, the walk off bomb in the recreation of '59 series, I was pretty sure. And now, as I realize I'm drinking an A&W root beer that says "since 1919" I am now positive. Let's go sox! Let's put those bastards (Minnesota and Cleveland) away!! :finger

Well we know that there likely will be a need for a new fifth starter, and BMac struggling, don't you think Neal Cotts might be able to return to a starter's role? He's sure earned a shot in my book. My only concern is does he have enough pitches?

If a ball goes down the 3rd baseline, and hits the umpire in fair territory, is the ball dead? Or is it live?

QUOTE(nvxplorer @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 02:18 PM) Farmer says it's a true forkball. I'm no expert, but I believe the forkball is jammed farther back between the fingers than a splitter. lol...i thought he was talking about canseco

haha ok...im laughing now

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 10:21 AM) Ken Griffey Jr is my favorite baseball player of all time but even I will say...that would be an awful move. ditto...but if he was on our team, itd still make me happy...in a sick stupid way

Hmm...well...I would think to call up Baj and just put Rogo and Jenks in Charlotte. But, if Jenks will be in the majors, let's hope that fat flamethrowing bastard dominates! Can't change Kenny's mind, so might as well cheer on the boy he brings up.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 09:56 PM) No, he had a pretty hot chick with him who just smiled the entire time I was making out with Everett. What???

Hmm...that sparks my curiosity too.

:banghead It won't let me change it! Ahh I'm such a tard.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 12:19 AM) I think Jose Canseco hasn't had a good night in quite sometime. what? EDIT: oh...

I unfortunately don't have WCIU here, so what were the Diamondbacks hitting? Were they hitting his splitter or his fastball or what? I just seem to remember his splitter being hung many a time and being hit out of the ballpark. Bad night for poor Canseco.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 11:04 PM) I always liked Mark Grace as a player... he was so good with the bat... I liked it when he pitched for Arizona that one game!

Hmm.. Jason Grilli Jeff Bajenaru Kevin Walker? Felix Diaz Dustin Hermanson? (how dare I suggest!) Shingo! Lorenzo Barcelo! haha Mark Dalesandro --- 1 game, no at bat, pshhh Alan Embree! He switched colors, that traitor Bill Pulsipher... That's all I've got for now.

I love everything radiohead has done.

i wouldnt mind willie leaving via trade, but sending him down will piss me off big time

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 12, 2005 -> 12:14 PM) So, then, why hasn't Herm Schneider hasn't stepped in and told Ozzie to shut Hermanson down for 15 days? Certainly they all know that there are 100+ games left in the season and that the Sox need everyone healthy to compete. If it was Hermanson's back and he needed rest, Ozzie wouldn't be throwing him out there.. would he? Hermanson might not be saying anything. Or, his arm is just tired/weak and he doesnt even realize how slow his ball is.

I, like many others, might take a couple "hometown heroes" at the end, but for the most part it doesnt affect me. If there are two somewhat equal players and a White Sox is one of them, I'll take the Chicago guy. But no Cubbies! I just can't root for them.

What happened to Donny Lucy? I read he was the backup catcher for Kannapolis but I went to their site and he didn't even have a number. What happened to him? He had tremendous tape coming out of the draft in my opinion.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) Nice to see Frank is back for a week and is already dissing this team. Seriously, why can't he just shut up? He's not dissing this team. He's acknowledging we're a good team, but not quite as great as the '93 team. If you disagree, maybe our team should just go prove that they are better.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 11, 2005 -> 11:03 PM) I agree with Nuke to not jump on Hermy after one bad outing. It had to happen sooner or later. And I agree with whomever said to ride the hot hand. Hopefully Oz will continue doing that. Hermy has been hot as hell, if he blows the next two of three saves or something like that, then it may be Shingo time again. Surely Shingo has been working on something during his demotion time. Or Marte if he's not hurt. I didn't make this topic to b**** about him having a blown save. I made this topic because I can't figure out where his velocity has gone.

I started liking them after I realized I can like Ken Griffey, Jr. and actually like other teams. This came on about 2001 season. That would make it since about the age of 9 or 10. Just about when I started to like the White Sox, they stop making the playoffs. lol

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 11, 2005 -> 10:43 PM) With Shingo and Vizcaino ineffective, and Marte hurting, the bullpen is a little thin right now. Unfortunately true. Shingo/Viz needs to see some time in the minors. Bring up Baj, he's done his time he deserves a shot. I wouldn't rule out Jenks either if he keeps doing well in July/August/September.

I'm less worried about the blown save and more worried about his loss of velocity. I had read that he used to throw in the low to mid 90's? What happened to that? If it's dead arm, let the poor man rest, let's see what our bullpen is made of.

Told you we were gonna pay.
