HE GAWN!!!!

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) They have to change his pre-game routine. This is getting ridiculous. There shouldn't be a problem every game. I say have AJ just slap the hell out of him right before he takes the mound.

Alright Freddy now just get out of this and shut 'em down the rest of the game.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 06:25 PM) What's the over/under for runs allowed by Freddy in the bottom of the 1st? 2 seems like a good number for that.

Ugh, bad first inning. Freddy go get 'em we have no chance tonight offensively

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 06:24 PM) God damn it willie, this is the first time in a while we haven't had a guy on 2nd.

God damn it willie, this is the first time in a while we haven't had a guy on 2nd.

Crede!!!!!

Corpseball.......YES!

That ball aj hit was absolutely tatooed, I'm really surprised it didn't get out.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 06:10 PM) To be honest w/ you i wouldn't be surprised if we get SHO by Greinke, especially after our pathetic performance against Miller on saturday. Both guys are very similar, low 90's heaters, big 12-6 curveballs Good call on that one.

Hawk and DJ are alive.

QUOTE(UofIChiSox @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 05:44 PM) Looking at that lineup, I'm pretty surprised that AJ is still hitting just .245, isn't he a career .300 hitter? I guess I thought that his average would start climbing later in the season but it really hasn't yet. Despite the low average, he has definitely been huge for the team this year though. He's been hitting the ball much better lately, I wouldn't be surprised to see him take off soon.

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) Well now, just cause you asked, here it is: Pods Rowand Everett Konerko AJ Dye Crede Harris Uribe And that's a White Sox winner! Tad's getting far to many days off as of late. Whatever go Willie, GO SOX!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Tadahito15 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) Isnt Wagner off the market now??? QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 03:18 PM) Wagner is off the block. The White Sox would only trade PK for Thome and that won't be happening, I guarentee. I see no deal, even with the Marlins happening. That's been said but that's because the Phillies want to buy and not sell. If they have a chance at Burnett and Wagner has to be part of the deal they'd definitely think of it.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 03:13 PM) I dont think you want to take Politte out of his normal role. That's how I feel. If and only if Hermanson's back really is serious and he might miss some serious time then yes this would be a good series to try and get Bobby's feet wet as a closer. Cliff's been to damn good in the setup role to try and make him a closer.

Houston might be the favorite right now to win the NL wild card.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 02:10 PM) I thought we crushed LH pitching? We do. PK hasn't though.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 01:40 PM) Question time: Is Damaso Marte better, worse, or the same as Eddie Guardado? As for right now he's worse.

That's why numbers lie with Damaso. They probably look at his stats and think he's been awesome this year, which he hasn't. This whole thing sounds like it's close to being done as of right now but these deals do fall apart all the time. Just a few days ago it looked like Baltimore had the Burnett sweepstakes all wrapped up.

There is a story in a Florida paper that says the Marlins have focused their attention soley on the White Sox for AJB.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 01:41 AM) Buehrle throws 89, Burnett 98. If Buehrle is off his game he will give up runs. Burnett can get away with alot more mistakes, and still not give up any runs. I'm not saying Burnett is better than Buehrle right now, but he definitely can be. Burnett has probably THE best stuff in the league, and is entering his prime with a new elbow. I think this guy w/ the right coaching could be the most dominate pitcher in the league, and I'd love to see him do it w/ us. Buehrle/Garland/Garcia/Burnett in the playoffs = WS. IMO AJ has a dynamite arm, nobody and I mean nobody is going to argue that. There are a lot of pitchers who have the "potential" to be better then Mark but very few are better then him. Why? Because he knows what the hell he's doing out there and just flat out knows how to pitch. You say Burnett can get away with more mistakes then Mark well check out the amount of quality starts between the two just because a guy can do something doesn't necessarily always make it true. As of right now AJ isn't even in Mark's league.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 01:36 AM) How 'bout getting some f***in' sleep, eh? I, myself, would go to sleep, but it turns out that my internal clock doesn't want me to go to sleep until like 4:00. That's what happens in the summer. So my choices are Soxtalk, or Jane Eyre for AP English. Tough choice, huh? I don't go to sleep until around 8. Don't ask me why but for some reason I don't get tired until that time. So what else would I do but sit on soxtalk.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 01:26 AM) Your kidding right?? Marte and McCarthy are both expendable. Cotts can get out lefties, and McCarthy, while impressive in spring training, looks like he is at least a year or 2 away from being a legit ML starter. Burnett on the other hand is a very solid ML pitcher right now, who has WAY better stuff than McCarthy, and has the ability to be a legit #1 starter, something we really need. Yes Buehrle is a nice #1, but not someone that scares you in the playoffs. Burnett can shut down anybody's offense, which is why KW is trying to acquire him. Why isn't Buehrle feared in the playoffs but Burnett is?? Buehrle>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Burnett.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 12:20 AM) Only recently......I made this thread ages before that.....read the date of the 1st post :fyou Thanks dude, I had no idea this thread didn't spring 5 pages in less then like 3 minutes. My point was no need to bump this when it's being talked about already in the sub forum.
