QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 11:22 PM) Nowhere near as important, obviously you are correct there. But he dropped a popup that most people on this board could have caught, which directly turned what should have been a 1-1 playoff series into a 2-0 series that might be a sweep. How far the Dodgers go will determine how much it's remembered though, I will admit that. And who doesn't remember "Merkle's boner"? Best named play ever. I hope they are, for Thome's sake. If I had seen Merkle's boner, I am sure I would never forget it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 03:14 PM) This article and accompanying photo made me giggle http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/the-hangover...wins-alds-26394 I wonder if any White Sox were responsible?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 08:07 PM) I have a feeling you're going to be disappointed if you want to see this rotation together in 2010. Floyd or Hudson almost assuredly have to go to fill a key hole or two. The question I guess isn't "would you trade ...", it's "what's an appropriate return for ...." Or "would you rather keep Floyd or Hudson?" Gavin Floyd's salary for 2010 is less than $3M. Do you really think he will be moved?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 08:30 PM) He did his job, the game is over and the series tied if Matt Holliday makes a play that would have been easier for a high schooler. But instead, he turned the Cardinals stealing home field advantage into a potential sweep in one fell swoop. That play might not be remembered quite like the Bill Buckner play or Merkle's boner, but it should be. Come on, this game didn't anywhere near the importance of the Bucker game. And nobody remembers Merkle because it was 100 years ago.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 08:44 PM) The Phillies are the only people coming out bad here. Forcing a girl into a room and giving her a 25 dollar piece of crap for the only Ryan Howard 200 Home Run ball on the planet. I promise you that can get more then 25 dollars. I heard they just used a rag soaked with ether.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 08:16 PM) Ryan Franklin=fail Matt Holliday didn't help.

The article says they gave her an autographed ball, not a bat.

Heard on the radio today that Wainwright had 6 losses in which he gave up 2 or fewer earned runs.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 5, 2009 -> 02:19 PM) Is that a pr0n? You wish too, it has your man Christian Bale in it.

MLB Standings How can Detroit and the Dodgers both have a one game lead and the second place teams have different elimination numbers?

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 23, 2009 -> 10:39 PM) Schlafly has some great beers. I'd take it over boulevard. Have you been to either of their bar/restaurants? They have styles on tap that they don't sell in bottles. They have a few that will kick your ass if you're not careful.

It's Pappy's and it's near not far from CWE. There are some small breweries you can check out Schlafly, Square One, Mattingly's. Cicero's in the Delmar Loop has a great beer selection. Built to Spill is at the Pageant on Tuesday night

QUOTE (WCSox @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 11:27 PM) (2) Everett was a declining, mediocre player in '05 who contributed relatively little to the team's success. His outspoken (and controversial) personality didn't help the Sox at all. Having second most RBI on the team is contributing relatively little?

QUOTE (WCSox @ Sep 21, 2009 -> 01:53 PM) I think that there's some truth to that as well. You must be a huge Barry Bonds/Jose Canseco fan. Unlike you, I have principles. Do you mean former White Sox Jose Canseco?

I've lived in St. Louis for about 6 years now and I haven't found any Sox bars. The Tin Can on Morgan Ford has some Bears fans. Where do you live?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:37 PM) The Sox arent trading Rios. 1) If Toronto could have gotten anything for him they would have. 2) The Sox (unlike their fans) generally dont just throw a player away after 1 bad season. They understand that players have good seasons and bad seasons, and not every player is slump proof. Rios is a major part of the Sox future, regardless of how many board experts disagree. Well, supposedly KW tried to acquire him before the deadline, so it seems they could have got something for him.

Any chance Rios gets traded this offseason?

Is anybody else watching on mlb.tv having issues getting a better quality picture?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 11:03 PM) A: The record for most hits by one team while being shut out is 14, set once in the NL and once in the AL. On September 14, 1913, Chicago Cubs ace Larry Cheney threw a complete-game shutout against New York, despite being beaten up by the Giant hitters. The Giants had a hit in every inning, but had only one runner reach third base. Cheney was helped by three New Yorkers getting caught stealing and one being thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double. The Giants’ dubious record was matched on July 10, 1928 by the Cleveland Indians, who somehow could not score against journeyman Washington pitcher Milt Gaston. Gaston, who two years earlier had allowed 12 hits while shutting out the Red Sox, survived six leadoff hits and five Indians reaching third base. per the baseballlibrary.com 14 is correct.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 10:56 PM) So how do we approach this guy we never faced. Do you watch video, do you check scouting reports. ....nope. Here you go. Don't forget to tip your hat.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 10:56 PM) Has to be 10+. Yes

Trivia question: What is the most hits a team has had in a 9 inning game without scoring a run?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 16, 2009 -> 10:48 PM) Way to get the runner home from 3rd with less than 2 outs Rios. He's already got 2 hits, what else do you want?

Was pitch to Ichiro a fastball?
