Paul Konerko now has an extra base hit in 9 consecutive games, breaking a franchise mark that had stood since 1936. Someone else can repeat the name of the guy who had the 8 if they heard it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:29 PM) Well, looks like we found there Harrell/Marquez Where's our Godfrey?

Rios staying up the middle.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:26 PM) That seems impossible. Never at a friend's house, bar, or restaurant all these years? I call bulls***. I spent 7 years in California. Saw more games in person than in HD. I think ive seen them on in places before but neer watched more than a few minutes, not enough to notice a difference.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:25 PM) I can hear Konerko drooling. Yup.

QUOTE (aprec32 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:25 PM) Has there been any fact checking into the Pick to Click's........Hawk's 19 seems like a real high number. It's almost impossible for me to keep track across networks.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:24 PM) This pitcher has nothing. Bunch of straight fastballs. I can hear Konerko drooling.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:24 PM) If they REALLY wanted to go 70's, broadcast it in standard-def haha Some of us have never watched a game in hd.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:22 PM) Well, that's the worst bunt we've seen in a long time. Edwin needs to find his hard slider again. I agree, Edwin should stop trying to bunt and resume being a pitcher. Wait....

Terrible placement on that bunt attempt.

Awesome outfit on that African American guy coming out of the break.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 07:25 PM) So how come more Democrats are calling for Wiener to resign than Rangel? Because the only thing the press cares about more than a misbehaving democrats penis is a missing white woman. Corruption? Ha!

Inauspicious start for Edwin. Not extremely wild but wild enough

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 08:06 PM) Are they wearing throwback jerseys? That would be awesome. Sadly, no

Love the effort on the 70's broadcast. The classic on screen graphic are a nice touch. Hawk looks...normal in that getup.

If you're doing it for the fun, just go for the win. Never want the Sox to win and me to be pissed. Strategically, I doubt that the oddsmakers know the Sox and their struggles against rookies as well as we do, so I'd bet that history suggests the Sox would underperform.

Some topical work from Science on early childhood education. Basically...it works. Incredibly well. You can still see it working when the people who received early childhood education are in their 30's.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 05:28 PM) More good stuff from Simmons on the NBA, the Finals and Lebron: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/664910...-lows-today-nba

Anyone who doesn't believe Tim Pawlenty's economic plan and its 5% growth estimates doesn't believe in the American people.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 05:20 PM) Harry Potter and Transformers 3 better not disappoint or this entire year will be considered one of the biggest disasters in the last 15-20 years. Seriously, X-Men is quality.

We agree.

Secretary Gates praised Norway in his speech for being one of the only NATO members to come through with actual assistance in Libya. Less than half a day later, Norway announced that it would begin scaling back its operations in Libya and will fully withdraw its planes by August 1.

Useless = this thread.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 03:39 PM) Im pretty sure there is a moratorium on trades anyway, so if there is any talk it would have to be pretty limited, especially with the CBA. The trade moratorium will obviously end before the lockout starts since the draft happens before the lockout starts. If a team wanted to be aggressive, getting its moves done before the lockout starts is a gamble that might pay off.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 03:31 PM) Eh, we all went through that when this first got posted last week. How did I miss that?
