The rumors of Thome's demise...

Man, Hawk is really laying it on thick with the missed balls and strikes calls this year. It happens. a lot - let it go.

Paulie was more idiotic on that play than Juan EDIT: For some reason "half man, half pimp" is flat out hilarious

awesome by mark

The kid is awesome

I wouldve liked to see how PK was received in the dugout after that do you just ignore a guy when he gets an RBI? shake his hand on a GIDP?

We are really taking some cuts this inning. that last pitch and alexeis

cant really assign blame on that one.bad luck. he looked back the exact instant it was in the glove

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 22, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) It's been too long since Jim or Paulie homered. i think i'll actually take The New Jim based on our lineup deficiencies

This is late now, but man, if Paulie had been doubled up on that it woulda been hilarious

buehrle isnt the greatest sox pitcher since i started watching in '87, but is the most entertaining

Paulie Special to left

Unlike past years, we just dont have the ammo to do much Time for healing in the farm system, not continued draining Now if we could somehow pull a lateral deal with a team that feels it needs to take away some of our recently sloppy bullpen arms...

hawk/dj dynamic really weird tonight

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 18, 2008 -> 05:18 PM) why would cubs fans be under sui watch, they've made their entire marketing scheme after being losers (but FUN LOSERS!!) to the real fans of that team, this doesnt matter that much. no matter how your franchise markets the team, you're going to live and die by the team if youre a diehard. if we're just comparing the diehards i know, i think the cubs diehards would fall harder. the buildup of this 100 Years thing can have a disastrous effect for them, too. Plus we already have one under the belt, and can always stick to "we got one first" and "NL pennant is easy to get" One Cubs fan i know is seriously pissed that the first championship in Chicago since all these years was on the southside, and the Cubs would have to win two to completely dislodge that feeling for him. That said, so many Cubs fans dont frame the chase as a historical battle at all. Many are still working on 'face the field of play.'

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 08:07 PM) I love Joe and all he's contributed to this franchise...but's its time to move on. Pretty much the same feelings I have about Paulie too. I guess there is a comparison there In both cases, we have to move on because of price. If Paulie weren't here, I suppose we could just have Crede and Fields at the corners next yr, which would be better than what we're looking at (Fields/PK)

Re: Cox Obviously it's not fun to defend him on something like that But with the way things ended with Thome... and then Konerko being what he is now Your best chance is betting on that bad throw. That way you take a chance and then have another shot at making something happen in the next at-bat. Obviously it played out badly, but that call allows you the most chances at getting a run across.

Masset seems to really step it up a notch for his starts I remember reading on soxmachine that Masset has been worse than his recent ERA in relief appearances. particularly bad in some respects that havent hurt us on the scoreboard..yet.

A. Possibly in buses.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Jul 18, 2008 -> 03:34 PM) I'm going to miss most of the game because I just have to see TDK tonight, but go Sox! It's good to have baseball back. That four-day layoff was torture. between that and eraserhead, it seems you dig exclusively dark movies may also recommend Man Who Wasnt There, Blood Simple, Dead Man

Batman and tape this or..this hm.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 08:57 AM) Since when did he start reading? The running joke was that he never read the papers. I think it was more something he himself said..that he doesnt read 'em While I dont think reading the box scores is too much a waste of time, I think there's something to be said for a president who is completely into his task. You didnt see Clinton much into sports at all. (Joke opportunity for GOPers here, I'm sure) Bush probably should still be owning the Rangers. One reason I like Obama (and disliked Kerry as well) is that the presidency should be more than just the 'next big business to own'

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 12:07 AM) This is Buds worst nightmare. no, in his worst nightmare they unearth how much he knew about roid use

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 16, 2008 -> 12:06 AM) neither team has any that they can use...mccann is the only position player to not be used Kazmir could play a position though
