what happens if we get to extras and there's no pitchers left?

Hard to believe that the Sox are 1-5 vs the Twins in the last 6. Their RISP numbers are truly awful.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:10 PM) He is having a hell of a second half and has carried this team since the rest starters decided not to show up, but that doesn't mean he's suddenly an ace. Yes it does.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 01:03 PM) Can we say enought about Jon G?!? He is carrying us like Jose did down the stretch last season. Lets hope the other 4 can eventually catch on. Agreed. He is undoubtedly our #1 if/when we make the playoffs.

we won the World Series..............

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) No personal attacks allowed. I can't believe I had never thought of it before. tease.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 06:32 PM) I thought of such a great acronym for Pods the other day. yes..........?

just tuned in. The Tinky Winky dome?

*sigh*

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 07:18 AM) I know some self-righteous poster will criticize me, but concerning the actual fight, it was quite pathetic. Looked like a couple of women slapping each other. I'm self-righteous, so I'll step up to the plate. Why does it have to be women - why not wimpy men slapping each other?

QUOTE(Soxy @ Aug 15, 2006 -> 08:26 AM) Linkage It is a matter of overwhelming scientific evidence. To maintain a belief in a 6,000-year-old earth requires a denial of essentially all the results of modern physics, chemistry, astronomy, biology and geology. It is to imply that airplanes and automobiles work by divine magic, rather than by empirically testable laws. I believe that airplanes and automobiles work by divine magic, and nothing you can say will convince me otherwise.

Gammons was talking about his short list last year in the WS. He named the 89 A's, the 99 Yanks, and the 05 Sox only behind the 98 Yanks as the most dominant teams in the last 25 years. 11-1 in the postseason pretty much seals this for us.

Let Pods go and sign Carlos Lee. Rectify the mistake that we made two years ago.

5.5 back, a month and a half to go. That road trip will be the tale of the season - 3 in Minnesota and 4 in Detroit. btw - love that Hammer Time sig. somebody should make a Thor/Jenks one.

stupid GBA. no place at a baseball game. It isnt even a holiday.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) Well maybe we can go back to the good old days where you can get your knives and weapons on the plane again. Agreed. Especially with our air marshals, I'll take those odds.

QUOTE(Bonderman38 @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:35 PM) Where did I fault you for being happy? You should be! Cool.

QUOTE(Bonderman38 @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:20 PM) You can't say these games matter to the Tigers more than the Sox. The Sox came out on top, kudos to them, no problem. Tigers win tomorrow, 7.5 up, lose, still 5.5 which is a decent lead. If the Sox got swept it would've been much harder for them to win the division. I'm not saying that just because "the tides are turning" I hear ya, and were the tables turned, no doubt we would be downplaying these games too. But you can't fault us for being happy - division or not, we need wins to get to the playoffs no matter who the opponent is. And bigger collapses have happened - so don't count out the Sox overtaking the division, even though the odds are against us. A month and a half of baseball to go.

not on Extra Innings, huh? That's not cool.

Can't wait til this stupid paranoia is over months from now. BOOKS are now banned in the UK? Because if you rub the pages together, you can start a fire? And all nice Americans can't bring water on your flight - talk about overreacting. This will change in about a month, but until then, what a pain in the ass. I remember immediately following Sept 11, you couldn't even pick someone up at the curb after their flight - what the hell good did that do? None. Now we've gotten smarter and changed that rule and have stupid new ones.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 11:32 AM) Actually, I work for the Boy Scouts. I'm sorry to hear that. (J/K!!!! I'm a recovering Eagle Scout) In all earnestness, I'd like to say that I'm the best poster ever. Seriously though, the ability to agree-to-disagree is a must for good posters. I enjoy the political discussions on this site very much, and appreciate that most arguments never stoop to name-calling. Also, I like swearing.

Talladega Nights is terrific, and I turned Anchorman off halfway through. Best movie of the year so far though is Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny. Saw a preview of it two weeks ago. Amazing.

The term Zionist is itself anti-semitic.

I voted between 5-10 years, but actually I don't anticipate it being DROPPED, just exploded.

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) funny thing about comments like yours is that there is nothing to back it up except "i have a feeling" or "just because" false hope leads to disappointment imo nothing points to anything but us finishing 10 games over .500 for the season. our pitching stinks and we are the 2004 whitesox...homerun or nothing. you know what, who cares? I want to win every game too, but despite the diappointments so far - guess what? We won the world series. Everything is else is gravy. Keep things in perspective.
