QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 01:45 PM) I forgot about OSU being the Cowboys, but I didn't want them to pick the Cowboys anyways. I don't like it when sports teams have the same name, like the Giants and Cardinals are both in baseball and football. I was hoping they'd pick something like the Marshalls or along those lines, but that name wasn't even mentioned. Instead they pick the Thunder, which sounds almost as bad as Iowa's new hockey team, the Iowa Chops. At least OKC continued with the lack of plurality such as the Jazz, Magic, and Heat. And in my opinion they should drop the "City" and just be the Oklahoma Thunder. I can think of some bad names from the indoor football league near me. The Bloomington Extreme is so named because of the Extreme Motors dealership that is a big sponsor. Another funny name to me is the Omaha Beef.

Many of you may remember this, I didn't. In 1999, almost all MLB teams hosted a Turn Ahead the Clock Night. According to Baseball Reference, the White Sox played in one of these games. What it was was each team designed a jersey for the year 2021, most of which with no sleeves, strange logo placement, among other things. You can read the Uni Watch to learn more. I wanted to see what the Sox wore that day, but they are just about the only team that I can't find a photo of the jersey they wore that day. So here's the challenge -- can anyone find it? Does anyone remember us wearing them? I'm curious as to what the Sox's rendition of these strange, fun uniforms were.

So we could potentially play a Tigers-Twins doubleheader after the season?

Will he finish the season?

Here in Pontiac last year our town flooded big time. We were declared a natural disaster area, as a matter of fact. We had hundreds of people forced from their homes in town of 10000, and many more still feel the financial effects of the flood still, nearly a year later.

I think that the position players are in the locker room thinking..."4 runs is good enough. We did our job." and the pitchers are thinking "It doesn't matter how many runs we gave up, the offense wasn't going to score until the pressure was off."

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 08:23 PM) 80 pitches or not we have no confidence in our pen to get two shutout innings? Call it a notion but I knew he was going to get hit hard that inning, and we didn't pull him quick enough once again. And yes, the same Angels we beat last week. Odds of us beating them in a 5 or 7 game series? Maybe 20% tops? Where's the half empty thread this team is pathetic I am so sick of watching this nonsense If this team is this pathetic and you don't want to watch him, what are you doing on this message board? If there's no hope in your eyes and you don't like to watch, don't.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 08:20 PM) Toronto should really trade Marcum this offseason for a good offensive player. He's had a lot of arm/elbow issues this season. Yeah, and to the national league preferably.

Appreciate the PBP. Balta just trying to catch Tex in post count.

I didn't think he was this well-liked.

butternut white bread. jif smooth peanut butter. welch's grape jam. cut diagonally. that is all.

What are the other terms? When it says its something other soda, pop, or coke?

Chat has killed this game thread.

All the perspective is in the chat room.

slow game thread.

But hey, Swish is a much better hitter than most of our lineup.

Well my mom got to know Clay Aiken at one point in time in working for his charity, and I believe they spoke on the phone a few times. My mom got to be very good friends with his mother. My mom also appeared on Oprah, and Oprah sent a limo to our house to pick her up for the show. I wouldn't say she knows Oprah though.

QUOTE (Steff @ Sep 10, 2008 -> 08:18 AM) They aren't licensed so the Sox can't sell them. Try Triple Threat Sports. Been seeing you around a lot more often lately. It's nice to have your contributions back at Soxtalk.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 10, 2008 -> 05:48 PM) Vazquez starting Saturday on 3 days rest eliminates the need for a 6th starter, Broadway will be making his start on Sunday as the 5th starter in place of Richard. You're right, so I guess Richard forced our hand to go with the next guy.

I guess our hand is pretty forced to use a 6th starter due to the rain out.

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 07:31 PM) So now i basically f***ed everything up. I hooked up with a girl last night, and i just told her about it. I guess that was pretty wrong to do, but if she didnt really have the feelings i had for her why should she feel so upset about it? But she's just told me that everything is over between us. Wow, just f***. I think you probably made the right choice. You're going on as she suggested you do and the majority of us suggested, and as others said this might make her realize what she's missing. Could be an example of not knowing what she has until it's gone. Don't bank on this though, keep going on with life and if a girl you like comes along, be with her.

Let BA play as a regular, just once. He has never had that opportunity. Even in his "full season," he could hardly string 3 consecutive games together. Let the kid play for a while, you might like what you get with some consistent AB's.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 09:41 PM) OK but wouldnt you rather have Juan pierre getting on base at a better clip? Well I'd like every hitter to walk whenever he doesn't hit. Nick Swisher walks instead of hitting.
