QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) I believe he got s***f***ed in his first start with WS. Ok, maybe I'm a liar then. I have no clue why but I remember him having one decent start there.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 12:27 AM) Just out of curiosity, when was Ray's last decent start? 1994. Wasn't his first start back in Winston Salem decent? Maybe it wasn't but I still think of him as a better spect than Russell, jmo.

QUOTE(PA32R @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 12:24 AM) I'll go out on a limb and say they'll win at least 101 games. If they don't - BOO YA! I wouldn't doubt it but I also think it's very possible that they COULD play a bit under .500 or right at it the rest of the year. I don't want anyone to think that I'm taking anything away from that team because they've been just unreal but I just don't think they're this good. I'll probably be wrong as usual though.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 12:18 AM) Rice has great numbers and 20 is the right age for Kanny. However, he has control concerns. All that said, I find it hard to consider minor league relievers prospects until they succeed in AA. How many times have we seen guys dominate the minors as relievers and then struggle in the bigs? If Rice is going to be a starter, and show success as a starter, he'll find himself on one of our lists soon enough. As of now I would probably rate Whisler ahead of Liotta, but I'm still not sold on Russell being ahead of Liotta. At this point I'm just going to post my own list so I can take my name off the FutureSox one lol. I'd still rate Liotta ahead of Russell too. So you're not alone dan.

QUOTE(PA32R @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 12:17 AM) Man, that's pretty wishful thinking IMHO, that is, that Detroit will play .500 ball. They have shown that they are a solid team. They'll play .600 ball, I'll bet. They're a very solid team but I still don't think they're a 100 win team. That being said if they play 500 ball the rest of the way then they still win 99 games so it's not out of the question for them to play .500 ball the rest of the way because they played at such a ridiculous pace the whole year so far.

Omogrosso will definitely be a fan favorite if he ever makes it to Chicago just cause of his name. I'm interested to see where you guys have Wes on your list considering I know Gage has never liked him.

I love Bush, I'm just hoping he gets enough carries to put up some numbers in the season. He's also on my keeper league fantasy team, so I'm cheering for him big time.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 03:58 PM) We need Crede to keep hitting DP balls to third. It seems to be working nicely this week. The other 3b's are just in awe of Joe so they throw it away. Tomorrow is absolutely huge and it could easily make the difference in this division down the stretch. I'll feel a ton better about our chances if we win tomorrow. I think it's kind of ridiculous to say we'll win the division if we win tomorrow but we'll definitely be much closer than if we lose.

This feels like a playoff game. If we can win this game, we're right back in this darn thing. If not, then we'll have a ton of work to do to have a shot at the division. CMON Freddy. I'd also like to add that Brian Anderson better be in cf.

Nice to see Mark get back into a groove and also nice to see us cashing in on mistakes. I must say that one of my favorite parts of the game is how Ozzie managed the bullpen today. He actually let them win a darn game for us. I was very freakin impressed. Good Job, Oz.

If we have a rookie left fielder next year, I hope to god that it's Sweeney.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 11:15 PM) It has to be. We have one final shot at making the division a race. It may not be the biggest series of the season, but up until this point it is. We'll have plenty more series that loom large as the season gets closer and closer to the end. Basically every series from here on out is the biggest series of the year.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 10:51 PM) It's a good thing Thome hit that meaningless add on homer tonight, just padding his deceptive stats as usual. Dude sucks, I wish we could trade him for Aaron Rowand. He's blue collar and fixes a hole in the outfield. I bet you're being sarcastic. Just a hunch though.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 10:49 PM) Thats why I came home...... Steve and I shall be there as well. Probably give you a call when we get there.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 10:33 PM) Been WAYYYYYY up North for the last week, so havent caught much Sox baseball. Got to watch most of the game tonight, and it looks like we are ready to to make a push for the postseason. I cant wait. You gonna be there tomorrow?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 10:02 PM) You would think Detroit has to go in the tank for a little while. It would be nice if the time is now with a couple of series against them pretty close together, and with a 4 game series with KC coming up. It also looks like Minnesota's crazy run may be coming to an end. The Sox could really do some damage if they got on a serious roll right now. No Liriano=No playoffs for the Twins. I've probably thought the highest of that team out of anyone on this site but if he's down for a while(which I think he's pretty much done for the year) then they're done. As for the Tigers, we've been waiting for them to tank for a while, it'd sure be nice if it finally happened for a nice period of time.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 09:48 PM) Thank you fox for changing tommorow's gametime to 12:15, now I can go to it. And thank you white sox for magically finding 2 tickets for it about 10 minutes ago. If only some one would invite me to go.

Like I said in the game thread, this is the best I've felt about this team in a long while. Jose was absolutely freakin brilliant. Awesome stuff.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 09:37 PM) When I saw the article, I had the urge to yell out "F###" Ya, it was pretty darn obvious. Anywho, this is probably the best I've felt watching a game this year. Get a nice feeling watching this one.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 09:30 PM) Ha, true. I was just wondering if it was me being overly critical of him, or were others seeing it. BTW..did you see my post about the Rivera balk? He always does that but like I said, I'm just greatful when he catches the darn thing. And no sir, I did not.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 09:27 PM) Please don't take this as me complaining, but does it seem like Pods overruns a lot of those plays down the line, and he ends up having to catch it on the side? Hey you know what, just be happy when he catches the ball.

Waiving at his changeup.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 09:20 PM) I literally can't remember the last time we had a starter pitch a game this good. i just can't... Its just great to see it again, I vividly remember these games last year Saturday.

Yankees lose, w00t.

BTW, yanks down 3 in the bottom of the 9th. One out away from an Angels victory.
