Well turn off the damn TV!

C'mon Loaiza. Suck it up and pitch.

Well s***. Corky hit one.

The potential for that is there. The Sox have to go deep into the playoffs before they really get some respect.

Timo has had some success against GM.

All Righty then! We'll take it. Way to hang PK!!!!

How about that s***? Back to back walks. Jose Time!

Advantage: Thomas.

Good job ARow. Let's pick him up Frank.

That looks like a line drive in the box score. Swinging bunt by Rowand.

1 - 2- 3. Let's jump on the old man, now.

One pitch. One out. Good start.

You think it's classless. I think it's good natured tweaking. Whatever.

Maddux vs. Thomas. This should be an interesting matchup. Maddux doesn't walk many hitters, but Thomas is an expert at drawing them.

Here we go. Let's go kick some Cubby ass!!!!!

It all depends on what other irons KW has in the fire.

I like the fact that the Sox are beginning to market the team along the way that Sox fans think. If that includes tweaking the Cubs and Sosa, so be it.

Ya, for sure. Losing Marte would hurt. We're just gonna have to see what the final deal actually is, and make our judgements from there.

I like your thinking here.

Sosa lost all right to "respect" when he made a mockery of the integrity of the game by using the corked bat during a major league game. He's fair game.

This should be an interesting day. No matter what deal KW makes, some people are going to b**** and moan while others will be happy. So you have take all that with a grain of salt.

I had to laugh at this from the Daily Herald. Derrek Lee doesn't like they way Takatsu pitches. Too f***ing bad, crybaby. :fthecubs

You're right, that was huge. However, Garland pitched well enough to overcome his own error in that inning. He got the groundout and made the next guy hit a very catchable popup into short right field.

Remember Paul Konerko last year? His performance was also "declining". Jones is only 27 years old and many many good years ahead of him.

Uribe did exactly what he was supposed to do. Gload never called him off and he kept going, trying to get into position to make the play. That was Gload's ball all the way and Uribe was expecting to get called off. That was Uribe's only mistake.
