Whoda thought Gordon Beckham would be no match for Brian Bannister?

There we go.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 07:37 PM) Mark my words on this... If the Sox win this thiung the Ole Hawkeroo will be praising Mark for hos magnificent he was tonight 4 runs, 6 innings, 1 run given up by the defense, not a great performance but he hung in there.

Teahen made an out!

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 07:02 PM) Then why did they wait so long to release this? It's funny how all the stars are aligning so that everything is rosey and now not as bad as we thought only a month ago when we were going to need ANOTHER stimulus. Since then, rosey smelling crap has been generated. Why? Gotta pass that health care. Then reality will come back. Frankly, yeah, it's funny how everything is not as bad as we thought only a month or two ago. Almost as if the government did some sort of stimulative program.

I hate giving runs back right after scoring.

Blast

Come on Carlos...

Let's get it started Gordon.

Excellent timing for the GIDP.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 06:43 PM) When was the last time all three won in a week? People make it seem as if once Peavy is here we won't lose another game. Last I checked our rotation has been up and down all year. Frankly, the combination of inconsistent defense and inconsistent offense has made them all appear worse than they should be. One should be fairly impressed as to the numbers they've put up, all things considered.

Come on MB, hold em here.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 06:35 PM) No way is he a worse hitter than Uribe. No f'in way. Dewayne Wise.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 06:21 PM) Thome's 500th I missed htat one so I didn't think of it.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 06:06 PM) Wow, I didnt know there were "Classics" from the 2007 season. Mark Buehrle pitches a no-hitter, Jenks sets the (at the time) record for longest stretch without a baserunner.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 05:43 PM) Reading this whole thread was quite entertaining. Seriously, that would like break my mind if I tried that in one sitting.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 05:27 PM) oh Yup. And I believe 2011 is Linebrink and Buehrle...although hopefully MB is extended once more if he wants to keep going. Then 2012 is Peavy, unless we pick up his option. It's a good progression of rolling through people, which is sorta how you want it.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 05:31 PM) fair enough it would be really nice to see rios and quentin start hitting starting today. Rios seemed like he was hitting everything either too the wall or right next to the foul pole while in Oakland.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 05:06 PM) yea but shouldnt the sox hold on to some of that money? meaning not commit a lot of money bcuz were going to have to give a lot of raises pretty soon? Even as people are getting raises...the Sox continue to have money coming off the books. Konerko and Pierzynski's contracts, together about $20 million, come off the books after 2010. Yes, you're giving people raises, but if you can win while working in the young guys, you can keep the run going for a long time.

Poop joke inserted here to make everyone else laugh.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 05:08 PM) I think this is going to raise some big issues. I doubt it. Wouldn't we have heard of this before if someone had been genuinely harmed by the move already?

The latest 2009 Federal Deficit prediction is $200 billion smaller than the last one.

By the way, the Tigers gave up Class A right-hander Brett Jacobson to get him. 4th round pick in last year's draft, 22 year old reliever.

About a dozen people were carrying weapons outside of President Obama's event in Phoenix today.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 02:31 PM) What other holes? I really think this team can fill everything else internally. Hudson may be ready for next season. The infield is set, the outfield would be set with the aquisition of Figgins and Thome would be brought back cheap for 1 year. Our bullpen looks to be a trouble spot next year again.
