That's what you call getting jammed.

BAh.

Alex almost killed Haren.

OMG HAWK

QUOTE(SnB @ May 24, 2006 -> 06:44 PM) not buying alot of food is fine, but c'mon, you gotta have at least one dog at a game. Those dogs with onions are to die for. I was going to say, it's impossible for me to go to a baseball game and not eat there.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 24, 2006 -> 06:13 PM) On paper, you're totally right. But the counterpoint is this; just watching the team, they don't seem like they're firing on every cylinder they could be. Even during the winning streaks, there's still a couple pitchers struggling, some bullpen guy falling apart, guys making silly plays on defense, etc. They just seem like they can play a lot better than this just from watching them. That's basically how I feel. The record might show we're playing as well as we can but it doesn't feel like we are. We might not have a better stretch during the season with games won but I bet there will be a stretch where we play better baseball.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 24, 2006 -> 05:54 PM) Ask about that in a month when Julio is not on the disabled list and Hernandez is out for the year. You always did love duque. I think this trade is meh for both teams to be honest. I think Duque is going to continue to get rocked and I at least think Julio could be decent but I doubt it happens.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 24, 2006 -> 05:38 PM) He looks much older, and needs to see a dentist. He definitely aged a lot since I've last seen him.

Roger Clemens is currently on SC talking about his concerns about playing for the Rangers. :rolly

Everyone loves AJ, they're just all jealous.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 24, 2006 -> 04:39 PM) Why not? We are 1 game behind last year's pace, despite not even playing our best ball, and a thread over our manager wanting to play a guy who's 12 for his last 24 turns into "this is stupid, we need defense in CF". That's just silly IMO. It's possible to disagree with something and not b****. I don't think I'm b****ing here when I say that I don't think it's the right move to basically make Mack a regular.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 24, 2006 -> 04:18 PM) WHy cant we just package someone and the pick to get KG? That would be nice but who the hell knows what it's going to take to get KG.

QUOTE(Allsox @ May 24, 2006 -> 03:44 PM) Having "servicable" defense out in CF in hopes of defending a World Series title isn't acceptable considering the fact Brian's glove is more than that. We hear the Sox pride themselves on defense and pitching so this is a little disappointing to hear. Especially when the Sox are #2 in runs scored. They don't need Mack's bat as much as they need Brian's glove out there for a pitching staff that doesn't get tons of K's. Read my post before that, I said the exact same thing. I was just comparing Mack to Pods in center here.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 24, 2006 -> 03:33 PM) I know Pods is quite mediocre in CF, but Mack is mediocre and slow... Not a good combo. In the few games I have seen him out there, I have seen him just murder a couple of routes, and he lacks the make up speed to do anything about it. To be honest, I put Mack on a Carl Everett type level. Mack hasn't been that bad in center imo. Don't get me wrong, he's nothing special out there but he's servicable, imo scotty wouldn't even be servicable. The few times he was out there last year, he was absolutely horrendous.

QUOTE(rudylaw @ May 24, 2006 -> 03:30 PM) If Ozzie is going to do this than I would like to see Cintron get half of the playing time @ SS. Juan and BA's OBP are almost the same. And I think that BA is better defensively than Juan. So it should go both ways. (insert joke here) Juan is going to dig a hole to China by the end of the season. Brian might be sucking at the plate but he does no bring that into the field. Can we say the same for Uribe? I really despise the idea of giving up defense for offense especially when you've scored the 2nd most runs in baseball.

Mack is hitting well right now but I'd much rather have Anderson in there for defensive purposes. IMO Mack is going to cost us more games with his defense compared to Brian's then Brian would cost with his bat compared to Mack's. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 24, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) To be honest I would rather see them move Pods to CF and let Mack play LF. Disagree completely here.

Eew.

The Cubs were down two runs, big difference.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:49 AM) Ha, that's awesome.

QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:31 AM) actaully Konerko was a catcher in one point during his career. Ya he was a 3b too, it ain't happening now though.

Anyone remember a few years ago when some guy at soxfest asked about Pauly playing 3rd because it worked on his xbox?

Konerko can play center.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:44 AM) f*** that, tomorrow will only be my 2nd game of the year I wanna see Jim Thome damnit. Suck it up James. You suck it up and watch a Thomeless group of world champs.

Ryan Madson had a rough day. He pitched 7 innings of real good relief and took a loss.

Agree with both of you guys, absolutely no reason to play Jim tomorrow.
