Wow, those totals would both be records. How can a team have negative runs?

My prediction for Felix: 8 IP 3 H 1 ER 12K 1 BB How long did it take him to allow a fly ball? More than 9 innings, I know that. That and the fact that he has averaged striking out one batter per inning combine for me to make this prediction. I sure hope I'm wrong, but that's just about how his previous outings have gone. You never know, the Sox could be the first team to hit him well. Here's hoping.

QUOTE(supersuicidedoll @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 10:11 AM) Have you seen this guy pitch? If you didnt know that Felix was a rookie, you wouldnt think it by watching him. He just doesnt get flustered, nor makes mistakes, he keeps all of his pitches down..he has a nasty 12-6 pitch, his fastball is not even his best pitch! Nope, that would be his slider. QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 26, 2005 -> 10:15 AM) I wanna see Felix throw a slider. I think you know that Seattle will not let him throw it until 2007.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 08:25 AM) I love the Colts, but two Hawks are enough. I'd take Hodge or Greenway any day. It would finally rid the team of the MLB problem it has had since 2000 (when Morris was drafted in the 1st round :puke). I may not be a Hawkeye fan, but I'll take their talent.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) This is going to sound bad but... Even though most likely the Sox will not win tomorrow and will most likely be shutout by a rookie, I'm still looking forward to seeing him pitch. This is why I have been looking forward to the game as well. I want to see him pitch. QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) I've seen all of his starts so far this year and I am mesmerised. King Felix is absolutely sick, it will be a pleasure to see him pitch tomorrow. You lucky lucky person. Tommorrow will be the first time I get to see him pitch, and I can't wait.

I've been waiting for this game for a while. Should be a fun one to watch.

Go Boilermakers! Three players I will be watching closely in the hopes that the Colts will draft one, thus FINALLY solving the 5 year problem at MLB: Chad Greenway, A.J. Hawk, and Abdul Hodge.

Didn't the White Sox do good when the B-Mac banner was up too? Just asking.

QUOTE(BMAC3520 @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 01:15 AM) Wait... is that me on the right or on the left? I'm offended if it's me getting my ass kicked. Unfortunately... the rest of the pic is pretty accurate. That's awesome! Good luck on Tuesday BMac! Here's hoping I have something good to post in your AAP thread.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 12:26 AM) Our pitchers have less room for error than Paris Hilton's birth control. QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 12:27 AM) He pitched great, our pitching has been good this month. I feel bad for him and our pitchers. They have pitched well and well enough to win a lot of games. Its hard to throw a 1 hitter and lose. But I remember making comments about our pitching being good but our hitting was going to be our downfall only to have people tell me how bad every other playoff contenders pitching staff was. Medicore pitching can shut us down, great pitching can make our hitters look silly. If these guys get their collective heads out of their asses maybe hit a ball the other way. Maybe not swing at somethng at their mellon or in the dirt. They might have a chance to hit. Hey I'm not saying I don't agree. The offense has been pretty bad for a few games. What I'm saying is that b****ing and whining and complaining about it isn't helping things. Obviously a lot of people don't like it, and all it's doing is making those people not want to come back.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 12:15 AM) Well give us the positive spin tonight. What should we post. Wow Arow nearly hit the ball straight. The ball was round and so is his bat so its not his fault. They want to bring the injuns in closer so they can play games that count in September so it matters. Timo is so clutch, damn that airport inspector that snatched the lucky rally fattypanties. If those hits were a few feet longer they would of been homers, then again if your aunt had balls he would be your uncle. How about the unbelieveable game Freddy had?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 12:07 AM) What else are we supposed to talk about right now? What brand of panties Timo had in the locker? Which Sox players were on roids? Does Timo spit or swallow? So you b**** and whine because you having nothing else to say?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 12:05 AM) Unless the Sox get positive energy, it doesn't mean s*** what is said on soxtalk.com. We can b****/whine all we want, and ask who's in or out, but unless the Sox start winning some games soon, they're going to have their backs against the wall. So why does everyone here keep b****ing/whining if they know that it's not going to help?!

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 12:03 AM) The addition of Pods means a lot, no not that our hitters start hitting with runners in scoring position but he gives the team a different outlook. A lot of people are down right now, im tired of being down, we can sure as hell go on a 9 game winning streak while the twins and tribe go on a 9 game losing streak. A 7 game lead in any division is great but because the way we are playing it sucks, f*** that, 7 games is good for us too. All I am saying is lets get some positive energy around here s*** can turn around very fast. Comon people. Very well said.

QUOTE(Wanne @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 10:06 PM) Yeah...if he gets on base...which seems to be a pretty tall order for any of these dudes anymore. Sure glad we built this team on pitching and defense. One minor oversight....2 or 3 runs a game isn't too much to ask for is it....GODDAMN! Look at the timeline. The decline in offense corresponds with Podsednik's injury. For anyone who says it started a few games before he went on the DL, wasn't his DL stint retroactive?

Okay, because of some of the talk here, I'm confused. IN means you think the White Sox will make the playoffs, and OUT means you don't, right?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 10:00 PM) I think he's talking about Pods, who seemingly has become the greatest player ever since his injury. Not the greatest player ever, just one of the most important players to the 2005 White Sox offense.

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 09:59 PM) Whats so special about Sunday? Scott Podsednik comes off the DL on Sunday.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 09:46 PM) Hey f***er, this was my thread last year!! And actaully it didnt work, so now im really scared. It didn't work because Frank and Mags were out...had nothing to do with the thread. By the way, I would've been OUT last year.

The offense returns Sunday. Hopefully, 3 wins will be had between now & then.

IN

Can it be any more obvious that something was wrong with him when he was called up last time?

Brandon's final line tonight: 7.2 IP 1 R 1 ER 6 H 10 K 1 BB

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 08:10 PM) He's pitching a shutout through 6 innings tonight -- 3 hit, 8Ks, 1BB -- He sucks Nice. How did you obtain this info?

QUOTE(Colorado Sox Fan @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 10:27 AM) He'll get hammered, just like he did last time. He's not ready. Last time, he was having a problem with tipping his change, which caused him to screw up his mechanics. As evidenced by his stats over his starts since going back down, he's fixed those problems. I'd say call him up and give him another shot if none of the regular starters can start that game. I'd also prefer to see him on the playoff roster over Adkins.
