I think Javy wasn't yanked because of his pitch count. Way too much stock is put into pitch count in terms of leaving pitchers in late in the game when in jams.

Damn you!

Does anyone have much experience with jerseys from ebay?

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 10:42 AM) Let me go on record as saying I hate replica jerseys and the t-shirt jerseys. I go with authentics or throwbacks Why not replicas?

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 01:00 PM) His HR call is really weak, but I really hate that he says "YES!" with Hawk when Hawk calls a HR. It sounds terrible. I feel the exact opposite.

1/2 Greek, the other half equal parts french, italian, cherokee native american, and swedish. So I end up with light blonde hair and pretty tan skin. How unlikely.

When Russell went out there, I thought we were dead for sure.

I think the point he is trying to make is that Alexei is tall enough for first base and has a ton of range compared to most first basemen.

"puts the hammer down on a low fastball"

SEXY!

I'm not on the Gio bandwagon like so many Soxtalkers were/are. I think he may do well, but there is no reason to think he is going to be an ace. His stuff isn't unbelievable, his control isn't impeccable. What is it that seems to project so well?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 12:49 PM) The guy with 3 posts since 2006 is giving critique on how we dont have enough posts after a game, well thats rich. And now that one of his rare posts has been criticized, the trend will likely continue.

I think many Soxtalk posters are disillusioned with your first-place White Sox, and many others are upset with the rampant negativity.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:46 PM) Whoops I'm in the wrong thread. Oh wait yea CHW@Oak i'm in the right one.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:40 PM) I'm not a greg775 fan. He sucks. It's all about confidence man, come on.

Let's blow it open Paulie.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:31 PM) Why would you waste your time posting that. Yoou might be right but to post sweeping statements so early in game two of the series is dumb and a waste of your typing. If we did indeed lose both games he could say at least to himself, "See? I was right! I know so much about baseball."

Wow you all are way ahead of me.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:29 PM) Wait, when did Ramirez drop a ball this inning? He dropped a cut, it had no effect.

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:28 PM) Clayton Richard warming up. Interesting...

Damn I wish Toby could run.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:10 PM) However, the problem is that Danks has now thrown 63 pitches...partially thanks to Swisher...and we will have to use our entire bullpen today, as he'll be lucky to make it through five and maybe six innings today. Which means we'll have to use 1-2 relievers that OG would just as soon leave overlooked down in the bullpen. Original Gangsta likes to leave the men in the pen.

close one.
