GONG!!!! AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!!!!!!1

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 02:11 PM) Was there a gong intro? The last two games I've been to where shingo's come in they still play the entrance music but no gong.

GONG!!!

That a boy Shingo.

GONG!!!

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) 24,544 paid attendance...for those who care That's a pretty solid crowd for a week day game vs. KC.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) I think thats a great idea, he needs some work. Ya, as of right now I'd like to see Shingo get some more work, the last few times out he's started to get his junk over and if he does that he'll be effective again.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 01:42 PM) I think he can finish it, he will throw nothing but strike next inning, he has a lead and he knows it. I personally wouldn't push him, let him pitch the 8th and bring in the gong show to finish it off.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) Who was that poster that had that long ass thread about Buehrle last year... "The declining arm of Mark Buehrle" or something... Whoever that was he can eat some crow crector, don't worry about him he hasn't been around here in ages.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 01:33 PM) get a map! Rowand44 believes that whitesoxmanager was dropped on his head to many times as a baby.

43 straight starts for Mark where he's gone atleast 6, simply amazing.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 02:03 AM) The "caught stealing" stat doesn't include "pickoffs." You're correct, I'm a little out of it right now

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 07:19 PM) I am sorry but podsednik has been caught way too many times on the base paths this year. I am not just talking his caught stealing but all of his pick offs ( 7 or 8 i believe now and not even have way through the season? Sure he is effective but not at a very good rate. Even though this does not seem to be the general concensus i think he ''presence'' has been overated. Btw i know basically no one is gonan agree with me on this. He's still 36 for 45 stealing bases which includes pickoffs so that's still a pretty good rate. I do agree though that's he's been picked off a bit to much for my liking but that's cause he's trying to make things happen. I don't even think you could argue the fact that when he's on base the pitchers seem to focus all their attention on him rather then the batter which has helped Gooch out so much this year.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) Stupid ESPN. Just can't trust them for anything

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 01:43 AM) He's not having his best season, but still splits of .276/.334/.397 aren't the worse, a little bit better than Willie Harris last season, but not as good as Scotty this year. Just goes to show you how good of a year Podsednik is having really. .281/.357/.325. I think you got Scotty's stats from the end of yesterday. He's currently at .289/.363/.332

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 01:39 AM) Kotsay isn't haven't a very good season but then again, no one on the A's is. I was just looking at his stats as well, however with the cubs when you have Neifi Perez and his .307 obp leading off for you Kotsay would be a god send. EDIT: Also with the yanks they have womack hitting 2nd and playing left field, I don't know his stats off the top of my head but I know they aren't pretty.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 01:36 AM) Kotsay would be a perfect fit here if we didn't have Scott Podsednik. Beane loves him though, and was working on an extension for him. If anything, the Yankees are probably going to end up with him or Johnny Damon if they both hit FA. But we do have Scott so he wouldn't be the perfect fit Kotsay would be a very solid pickup for the Cubs but it's not going to be Corey Patterson that gets it done, like has already been said Patterson is basically the anti money ball type player.

If any of you guys missed the game they're replaying it right now on CSN.

Howell was one guy I would have loved to see the Sox draft last year just because I thought he was the most polished guy in the draft outside of Weaver but they definitely rushed him to the bigs. Still the Sox have to be careful because Howell could dominate if the Sox let him get in a groove early.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 12:59 AM) Stop dissagreeing with me. I see what you're saying. But nothing leads me to believe that we won't take atleast half of our remaining games with them. If we're up 10-12 games by the time we play, it's a wrap. I'm just hopin we get homefield to go along with the divison title. Hell, like I said I believe the sox are going to win this thing, I guess I just refuse to write off the Twins cause those guys just kicked our ass when it has counted the last 3 yeras, obviously this is an entirely different team and I expect the Sox to beat up on them this time when it counts but ya I guess they'll always just scare me. Also I'd love to have homefield throughout as well, especially cause it'd be scary as hell to play the Angels in California more times then they'd have to play at the Cell.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 12:42 AM) I don't know man. Our schedule is rather soft the next few weeks. If we get this thing to 11 or 12 games by the break, I think the race is over. I do believe we're going to win the division don't get me wrong there, I'm just saying I don't think you can officially call the race over even if we are 11 or 12 up which is a huge lead no doubt about that but we do play the damn twins 13 more times. Each to their own though
