Bon anniversaire!

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 26, 2009 -> 07:17 AM) For the past 2 weeks they've been talking like they were in the mood to fight no matter who was nominated. Considering the attack campaign against Justice Sotomayer started the moment Souter announced his retirement, I think you're right, and I think that she'll have hte hardest time of any potential nominee. If she doesn't put on a Roberts-like performance in her confirmation hearings, then we're going to get the beautiful spectacle of 40 or so white males lecturing a hispanic woman for hours on end about the evils of abortion on the floor of the Senate. I think this will genuinely be a 58-41 cloture vote.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2009 -> 08:36 PM) Cubs lose! 39 runs scored between their game and our game.

Anderson is 4 for his last 8. Alexei Ramirez thinks that's way too many AB's to take to get 4 hits.

It's fun to watch how confused Gameday gets when a ball goes behind a player.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 25, 2009 -> 08:19 PM) Didn't they used to yank Danks at about 90 pitches, even last year against the Cubs I believe? It was a single to left. Last year, Danks had never thrown over 130 innings in a season. This year he's a year older and they hopefully stretched his arm out more last season. They pulled him last year correctly. This year they ought to give him more room.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 25, 2009 -> 08:18 PM) yes there is. i actually completely agree with both coop and hawk on this one. let the kid finish it, he worked his ass off I'm with Reddy on this one. Nice job Danks, hit the showers.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2009 -> 08:18 PM) No excuse to keep Danks in to go over 110 pitches. Anyways, I missed the hit by Fields. What was it? 1st pitch line drive to LF.

QUOTE (kristofer @ May 25, 2009 -> 08:11 PM) take danks out, cora! there is no need for him to be in anymore. He's thrown under 100 pitches, he went 123 in the 5th, he's got a >10 run lead, our long man in the bullpen has had a lot of work already this season, if we can get him through this inning everyone benefits.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ May 25, 2009 -> 07:59 PM) Wait... I just turned on the Sox game, what happened to Q?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? :-O The tissue in his foot bothering him acted up again, might have felt a pop, was taken out in the 1st inning, currently day to day, he's at least out tomorrow, he's a DL candidate for all we know.

QUOTE (tommy @ May 25, 2009 -> 07:58 PM) Angels wouldn't. But he's hitting .245 on the season with an OPS well below .700. He clearly sucks!

Question...who here would trade Josh Fields straight up for Howie Kendrick?

Wow, quick inning for Danks. He has a legit shot to get a quality start out of this.

Konerko...

One more inning Danksy...

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2009 -> 07:40 PM) No, it was when Lillibridge was playing in CF while Anderson and CQ were out. I think you're missing my point.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 22, 2009 -> 06:40 PM) When was the last day that MLB.com didn't feature the headline "Player X is ___ this hit (usually the triple) short of the cycle" with some suggestion of history involved? Today's fill in the blank: Freddie Sanchez.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2009 -> 07:36 PM) You sure it was send down Alexei? I thought it was more that he should be moved to CF and let Beckham play SS. Ok, sorry..."I can't believe we're still playing Anderson, he sucks, he's had 3 years to develop and done nothing, move Alexei to CF and let Beckham play SS". Adequate?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 25, 2009 -> 07:34 PM) Robin had 1 year in the minors. Bad comparison. He also didn't fan at the alarming rate Fields does. I know it's a bad comparison. I don't care one bit. After 3 years of complaining about Anderson being benched when he's actually starting to learn stuff, of course I' going to be behind Fields, because this obsession with dumping him is absolutely foolish.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ May 25, 2009 -> 07:34 PM) The sox want to score 20 It's the only way to restore our projected record based on win/loss margins.

"I can't believe how bad Alexei looks. Call up Beckham, time for him to take his spot!" - this board, a week ago.

4/4...2 RBI, 3 runs scored...Lexy Luthor.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 25, 2009 -> 07:31 PM) Robin Ventura is in attendance. In fact, he is sitting on the bench. Maybe he can kick Fields in the balls for me. After 166 games, Robin Ventura had a .634 career OPS. Yes, he was younger than Fields. But hell who cares...players never make adjustments or learn.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 25, 2009 -> 07:29 PM) I didn't see, but my bags are packed. Did Fields swing at the first pitch? No, he took the first 4 pitches before striking out.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2009 -> 07:27 PM) Um, no...he'll be playing the next 2 weeks likely. Depends...when does Wise come back?
