QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 11:02 PM) We won because of a bad call by the ump (the Podsednik safe call). Your point still has some validity to it though. No, not necessarily, if that call isn't blown the game is still tied, no??

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 09:41 PM) Can't comment on that, but to say the least Brandon didn't enjoy Charlotte and that ballpark. CMON, CMON. Just playing, thanks for the info

If maggs is healthy enough to play in this thing, Ozzie could be managing Maggs. That would be interesting to say the least.

Jas, you said somethings just weren't right with Brandon when he got back down to Charlotte, could you elaborate??

Reading through these game threads can be sickening at times. Jabroni, when the hell are you going to learn this team doesn't play corpseball they're the best team in the league for a reason. The team hits when it counts, period. Anyways, I love this team.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 01:39 PM) the twins are not that good. Yes they are.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) We had some great Buehrle talk the other night after the game. The real focus was whether or not Mark was a true ace. I argued from the point that he was and asked everyone around to name 15 pitchers they'd rather have than Buehrle. There may have been 10 or so, but not very many more. Perhaps there aren't as many true aces around the game these days, but just from a durability and his consecutive streak of starts with 6 innings pitched, I think he qualifies as ace material. Buehrle, to me, is perhaps the most underrated starter in all of baseball. He always will be an underrated pitcher just because he doesn't strike out a ton of guys. Also there is no doubt in my mind anymore Mark is a true ace, period.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 01:11 PM) Javier Ortiz starting today in place of BMac. Well there's your confirmation.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 12:54 PM) I hate the Cubs, but realize that Mark Prior is the best pitcher in Chicago. I used to believe that, not so much anymore.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) Personally I want Brandon to focus more on his changeup. If he does that he'll be rocking and rolling in Chicago and he'll stick in the rotation, imo. I puke everytime Duque pitches so I'm in a good move. Agreed on Brandon. He used that pitch so effectively in Spring Training and just didn't throw it at all while he was up here for his two starts.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 12:38 PM) I don't know why but the twins lost so im fine with it. May is pitching today vs. Santana, it's currently 0-0 in the bottom of the 3rd.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 12:45 PM) I see no one wants to read But it appears that Duque will be headed to the DL (nothing official) and that Garland will start on Monday (thats on normal rest). I just saw Tuesday and didn't even bother to really think that Jon was on normal rest, maybe next time I'll read.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) Report: Brandon McCarthy to Start on Tuesday By Jason Gage FutureSox.com June 19, 2005 FutureSox.com has learned that the White Sox are tentatively planning on promoting Brandon McCarthy from Charlotte at the beginning of the week. McCarthy is expected to start Tuesday’s game vs. the Kansas City Royals. Brandon made his major league debut vs. the Chicago Cubs earlier this year and is 0-1 with a 6.97 ERA in 2 games. MORE I'm confused, why Tuesday?? El duque is scheduled to pitch tomorrow, is something wrong with Jon?

Great thread Jim. It's so true Carl has been absolutely huge for us this year, he's been the most clutch hitter on the roster this year and he just continues to impress me, I know that's why I loved him in 03 because he comes up with absolutely huge hits. Another thing about Carl is a good solid player like him has not complained at all about essentially becoming a bench player with Frank back(though he'll get plenty ab's).

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 12:30 PM) I would take Erstad for next year. Though I'm a pretty big erstad fan I think I'd rather see Ross or Rogo get a shot. I think one of them could do a pretty solid job there, jmo

Phil.

Big bounce back game for Jose tonight, he should be much better considering he got that first start out of the way after pitching in Colorado. GO SOX!!!!!1

Helton>>>>>>Konerko. That being said Todd does make way to much money and he'd handicap the team for a while, not gonna happen.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 03:46 AM) Agreed, and he was almost a Sox. Remember the Konerko for Odalis trade rumors in 2003 when Konerko was hitting like s***? Yup, that was the biggest offseason rumor after the 03 season after the Maggs-Nomar deal.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 03:36 AM) Nope. Brad Penny and Derek Lowe are but thankfully we missed them in the rotation. Odalis Perez is also a much better pitcher then Weaver but Odalis is on the dl.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 01:18 AM) Yep, our commercials are way too damn cheesy. Last season's commercials were so much better. The new ones are definitely cheesy but I thought the first group of commercials this year were awesome.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 12:54 AM) IMO that is the best sig I have ever seen at soxtalk. Believe me , that says a lot. That is a great sig. I've been lucky. The sigs people have made for me have been absolutely fantastic each time.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 02:33 AM) Jeff Weaver is the Dodgers' ace? No.

Tomorrow's lineup won't have as many backups in it as usual on sunday's because it's not a day game after a night game and it's not a travel day either.
