QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 07:29 AM) 24,000 for the Yankees .......................fans are sick of tiered pricing, high parking and s*** product on the field. I salute Sox fans for having balls unlike sheep at Wrigley. Down 2000 a game from last year on average as of now, without having had to deal with the August losing streak or September slump yet.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 08:42 AM) If it were really that bad, why weren't there players begging to get out of here at the deadline, instead of wanting to stay? How do we know that they weren't? Hell, Alex Rios seems to be trying pretty hard to get out of here.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 10:18 PM) It looks like a big deal now, but I bet people hardly remember it happened in 5 years. Yeah, they'll be too angry at the fact were still at 9% unemployment.

Apparently te hardest thing for her has been speech recovery, her thought process recovered a while ago. As I said earlier;

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 10:17 PM) Sure glad he gave up first strike trying to bunt. Gmab, that almost worked

Jpmorgan team estimates this deal will knock 1.5 percentage points off of 2012 GDP. Of course, that's a decent argument that it won't do nearly as much damage as I think.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 10:10 PM) He's just too weak of a hitter to get it over the outfielder's head when he hits it that way. There is nothing offensively about the guy that projects as a MLB hitter. Except for his entire minor league career.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:59 PM) In 2007 we went on this little mini-run at the end of the year when draft position probably meant more than the record. Yeah. Because we could have watched Posey's career bust.

No it's actually not a true Nobel, but it gets honored with them at the same event. It really is odd.

Representative Giffords voted on the debt ceiling deal tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:53 PM) Now that we're going with a 5 man rotation, it's just stupid and ignorant to push Peavy like this. If he's got it, then use it. Only way to build up the strength.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:38 PM) Peavy still out there because.... yeah. Why not? Worst that can happen is a solo HR. And maybe peavy can pull off the quality start.

It takes effort to do that more than once in a game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:28 PM) Isn't it only one more year? Isn't he here through 2013 at the least?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:25 PM) So what is different now than the last times this has happened? You expect someone to step in now, where no one really has before? Half the media in this town belongs to Ozzie, including the Sun Times, CSN, and the Score. Nothing is going to change on that front. The fact that the GM has been throwing Ozzie under the bus for weeks and that Ozzie is not going o be here next year? And the fact that there aren't rumors about Teahen like there were about Jenks?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:25 PM) Hmm, maybe the fact that it was only the 5th inning saved us there. Don't push your luck and send him out for the 6th. May as well send him out as long as the pen is ready. Worst that happens is a solo hr.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:24 PM) I wonder if there is something physically wrong with Jake. When you read fastballs at 88 MPH and less that's just not right. Think of him like a pitcher 12 months after Tommy John surgery. They're not going to be all there with velocity or control. Some guys take years to regain where they were.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:21 PM) Yep, sure sounds like White Sox players support anything and everything Teahen said. The usual response here is to be angry at the guy bringig stuff out of the locker room, not to defend him.

Why is no one up already? Sigh.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) Way to go Alexei. BTW, has he ever hit an opposite field homer? He hit one oppo in 2008.

5 pitches seen by Dunn, 4 strikes and 1 in play. I started typing this post with 1 strike.

Is Cervelli doing the splits behind the plate??

Lextacular! Best 2 swings in weeks for Lexi.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 09:01 PM) imagine watching this offense in petco Well, the pads don't exactly have a lot themselves.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2011 -> 08:53 PM) Haha, Hawk advocating playing for one run when you're facing a great offense. At least we can avoid the shutout. Maybe. Has Morel seen more pitches than half our lineup?
