QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:41 AM) they lost that game. I believe after that they went on a nine game winning streak which lead to hawk's shaved head i think

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:28 AM) i was at the tigers-sox game the day after the all star game in 03. That's the game that didn't start till 10 and colon got shelled. Even though they played the sox still let us exchange the tickets, pretty cool, considering I left at 9:30. if i remember, the sox scrapped back and nearly won that game....lost like 10-9 after being down 10-0

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:56 AM) I remember a 1/2 price game vs the mets in 2002. So much damn rain for a few hours. I was drenched in rain. We finally left at 9 I think it was. (thinking we would get tickets to a different game) I wake up the next morning to find out they played the game. :banghead same thing happened against teh angels last year i believe....they started at like 9:30

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 10:45 PM) I think Back in Black is a more fitting intro... but Thunderstruck is a great song nonetheless... AC/DC is on a s***load at the cell, and i aint complaining. yeah thunderstruck is a sweet song for sox fans, i think its a pretty good representation of the general sox fans attitude....and ill tell you what, the sweetest time i have ever heard it played was at my college's games. The fireballing closer on the first day of teh year shaved his head and grew out a handlebar mustache, and he came sprinting in from the bullpen to thunderstruck. I swear to go the opposing fans were intimidated as hell...its was glorious

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 08:40 AM) The Indians will be dead and buried by August.....Book it. i dont know about that, the indians aer in the same boat as us....they have had tremendous pitching, and poor offense. wait until that offense starts to click (which is a more potent offense than ours) and they could be good if that pitching keeps up

there is nothing wrong with hecklign the other players, thats part of home field advantage. But chanting the cubs crap when they arent even playing the cubs is ridiculous. but please dont complain about people getting on shannon stewart...he is the opposition and id wanna do anything i could to make him uncomftorable

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 10:26 PM) You know what, if shingo let up a single tonight we'd be hearing about how good he pitched and the thing is the homerun meant the same damn thing for this game, leave the guy alone today, he did fine. yeah i agree, i like hermanson, and he was a solid pick up for the pen, but when he gives up a home run like shingo did tonight, i dont wanna hear about how he should be demoted

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 17, 2005 -> 05:04 AM) Good thoughts in this thread, let's keep em coming. My take on the whole deadline scenario is this, I think we'll be trading for a bullpen guy as well. But it won't be a closer, b/w Shingo who I think will come around again and Hermanson the Sox are very well covered there, a lot better then some other teams in this league. If we trade for someone, it will be a lefty specialist. Cotts is struggling right now, although we all still love his potential, and Marte still looks like he hasn't returned to his dominating form of 2002 and 2003 even though he's been better. A guy like Ron Vilionie (I know I didn't spell that right), Joey Eischen, could help this pen even more. ron villone and joey eichen? 1.) if we get bullpen guys they should be better than that, and 2.) if we make a trade it better be for a bat. I see no reason why the white sox can't make a bid at aubrey huff. everyone knows hes gonna be on the market, the only problem is his price will be high because other teams, notably the cubs, are also interested. huff would be the perfect fit for this team, a lefthanded power bat, who can play multiple positions, including the hot corner over crede

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Apr 17, 2005 -> 10:15 AM) Sox are 3rd in HR and LAST in on base % in AL. I am happy with the 8-3 start but we need to improve on base big time. the obp will naturally increase, and even after that 4 hit game by franklin, the sox have still increased the OBP .017 points in the last 3 games. Its still way too early to say that the teams' obp sucks, i mean even oakland of all teams is second to last and they are built around the entire sabermetric obp stuff

QUOTE(Cali @ Apr 16, 2005 -> 11:06 PM) I guess that record in daytime starts makes Freddy a Reverse Vampire is that some sort of joke?? thats brutal

anyone else notice that we are only tied for 1st with the twins, they have quietly won 5 in a row

QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 16, 2005 -> 06:53 AM) Wasn't it only one or two? I was at the Jon Rauch win over Cleveland, but I don't know if there were any more 5th starter wins. ( I was also at the Josh Stewart pants-crapping against Boston..... :puke ) what about felix diaz on the cubs?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 07:55 PM) Agreed. That fan was the dumbass in the player-fan problem once again. Sheff didn't really touch him. yeah, he certainly tried to hit him tho

QUOTE(kman @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 07:52 PM) omg sheffield just bunched a fan.omg that looked like shaq tryin to hit brad miller, sheff didnt touch him....the other guy hit him first though

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 07:39 PM) Pitiful excuses. :headshake look, im not making an excuse at all. i said he f***ed up.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 07:35 PM) Thanks a lot Cotts you turd. You wait till you give up 3 runs before you start pitching like you mean it. Asshole! jeez man settle down.....he did a s***ty job, no doubt, the walk was the killer. he gave up a base hit that in any other situation is a double play, then a double, which woulda scored 1

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) When was he ever good? Last season? :rolly when was wakler ever good?? spring?? so was cotts

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 07:31 PM) Send Cotts somewhere else. I don't really care. Bring up Kevin Walker. Cotts sucks ass. He can't even get lefties out. interesting call....one bad outing and lets s*** down his neck

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 07:15 PM) I'd agree it's not great, but it still was productive. He raised the stress level of the pitcher. Maybe to such a degree it factored in Uribe's walk. i wont refute that

QUOTE(kman @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 07:12 PM) for joe it was he fought of a whole bunch of fastballs and made bentancourt work. then its a decent AB, certainly not great, i know its nit picky...just a peeve of mine

QUOTE(kman @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 07:09 PM) great ab for crede. i hate when people say that...was it a great AB? certainly not, he got out. for an Ab that he got out in, it was a good AB

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 07:04 PM) Thank you Jose Hernandez. He's stranded 5 runners his last two AB im guessin el duque is done, 92 pitches and he is starting to lose it a bit, maybe 1 more inning and if he gets in trouble ozzie goes to the pen

QUOTE(kman @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 07:02 PM) thnk god for that dumb fan wasnt the fans fault, it went otu of play between teh rail, and that stupid flag brought it back

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 06:59 PM) Our rotation leads the AL in many categories: yeah and that includes the near miss by contreras yesterday for QS

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 06:47 PM) Didn't have too much trouble with Scott Elarton this time around.... if my memory is right, we didnt teh first time either, in fact i think we got him for like 7 runs and he didnt even get out of the 1st inning, but there was an error so only like 1 of them was earned, nonetheless we pounded him in that game....but they were all unearned which that combined with the SHO was why his ERA against us was so low.
