it's so much more fun when they show the fan hanging his head and/or being led away. they are really letting him off easy here (TV wise)

good old half price night, calling all dopes

wait wait wait i just turned around and then heard cheers no hawk explanation

alexei's reaction sliding into first was hilarious. out by a mile.

at OC's age and production level, it wouldnt be long term demands or crazy money. He's been so solid that i hate to close the door on that possibility. i have seen only a little of Alexei at ss, but the little i saw involved a wild throw. he just seems so good at 2b that i hate to take a chance. My end goal for this year is to see more of Alexei at ss in blowouts (us winning)... and also to have an idea of where Richar's at (which i know is going to be tougher) if Crede and Cabrera both leave, we need to put that savings to some serious, serious use.

Didnt we have a problem around here with anti-islamic avs here kind of recently? neither side of town is perfect in that regard. there are asshat fans on both sides of town. by all means, live and die by this rivalry, but it's kind of embarassing to take it to asshat level. it ends up saying more about you than anything else.

Great to see Buehrle do this against a team that characteristically hits lefties

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 08:23 PM) Mildred is the name of Ramirez's wife? I would have never guessed that. Catholic name so you can see it for hispanics. there was a st. mildred

Cockfighter grabs bench

sexerammmm

Why did someone call him Blond Communism earlier in the thread? is there a reference there i should know about?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 07:14 PM) Alexei should really win the AL Gold Glove for 2b, IMO. There is no better. Ozzie when stalling before giving Alexei the full time job "Playing 2b in Cuba is nothing compared to MLB" My response to that: No. Balls can be hit hard anywhere, not just U.S. Ridiculous how little legwork he did on this. Alexei shouldve had earlier opportunities to prove himself.

Let me be careful how I phrase this. If we had bigtime success this year, I feel it could potentially be more fun than 2005. A big case in point is the dugout celebrations we see. It seems like there is a lot of chemistry here, and while I know that always depends on W/L records.... it seems like the guys here have more fun than 2005's. Stooges

Whoops, I thought I HADNT put on the Josh Hamilton Hour. was expecting a cubs sox game.

thats about the only moment both cubs fans and sox fans would cheer

the expectations for Jose have taken such a roller coaster route. we're back at what we thought we'd get. a #4 or #5 guy.

Wow, Edmonds reacted like that was a pop up

I'll always have to hand it to Cotts for saving us from a fate worse than death: 2005 Damaso Marte.

JD excellent this year Lets see what kind of reception Cotts gets

Is Gary Ward still in the organization? Daryle Ward said last week that his dad is still rooting for Sox over Cubs right now.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Jun 27, 2008 -> 03:35 PM) I love how Hawk was just trying to put it on the offense that they didn't "go for the jugular" by putting more than 8 runs up how about gascan contreras doesn't just give up home run after home run did he necessarily mean the offense though?

also, now that it's 8-0 Alexei can stay home with his wife and not rush back midgame as was hinted might happen

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jun 27, 2008 -> 03:16 PM) You guys know that was Nick's dad's name right? Alot of the "old timers" who were around when his dad was a Cub call Nick that occasionally. i'm aware. and yea, my dad calls me by his brother's name all the time.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 27, 2008 -> 03:12 PM) yea, i caught that too. i was like "huh?" maybe Hawk is entering the Johnny Red Kerr phase a bit here. Red: "You know who Szcerbiak reminds me of as a player?" Tom: "Who?" Red: "..." "Ah... I forgot!"
