QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 05:57 PM) Oh man, Vazquez has the same disease that Garland has (minus last night). If that's the Case, Menchie will be leaving the park here.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 05:55 PM) Javiera Vasquez? Jittable Javy.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 05:54 PM) *SIGHS* this is why i had a bad feeling about Javy today This is why I've had a bad feeling about Javy ever since the first half of 2004.

It's the Tradional "Vazquez collapse inning"©

And then somehow, Hairston finds a way to get on base to lead off.

If anyone does anything with these runners it'll be Thome.

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 03:34 PM) Nope that was my point. So, in that case, you agree 100% with everything Balance said.

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 03:31 PM) Yeah because he only tells lies and liberals only tell the truth um ok. So, can you name a politician who you think genuinely tells the truth most of the time, left or right?

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) You think I am conservative and religious then you ought to spend some time down here after a couple days you will be calling me liberal. Satan? Is that you?

I wonder when the last time the White Sox had 6 lefties in their starting lineup was (counting Absolut of course)

Well, now that this is the game thread, let me just say: Give em Jell, Javy.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:34 PM) I agree, but..... IF Ross Gload makes an error in RF tonight, before anyone starts bashing him, remember Dye & Podsednik last night on the "triple" and "double". Thank you. I promise, I'll only get angry on his 2nd error, ok?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) Meh, no reason to take BA out when he has been getting good at bats. Well, Righties are hitting .201 against Padilla, and lefties are hitting .345 against him.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:02 PM) The NFL has tried to keep steroids out of it's sport, and it doesn't have all the benchmark records baseball does, so that is why they have stayed out of the spotlight. However, I will say there is little doubt that HGH is more rampant in football than even in baseball....there is no urine test for it, and those guys aren't all THAT huge and THAT ripped and able to recover like that on accident. I can't be the only one who's noticed that 300 lb linemen seemed very rare 10 years ago, and now 350 pound linemen are the rare ones.

Well, clearly you bought a hat specifically for that purpose, so why not make it a Sox Hat.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 01:43 PM) Some good players make over 20 errors a season. 5-6 plays? fine with me. Right Now, Scott is on pace to make about 17 errors in 162 games. He has 3x as many errors as any other Left Fielder in the AL. He has as many errors as Soriano and 1 fewer than Adam Dunn.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 01:37 PM) That guy is such a classic DH. Can't run, can't defend, can't catch, has no arm.....but he can hit the s*** out of the ball and draws a TON of walks (which offsets the horrid batting average). And yet, he's stuck in the NL.

A piece I enjoyed on those "create a 3rd party in the middle" suggestions.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 01:09 PM) Like Balta said, the NFL has been in the forefront of this stuff. They have a rigid testing program, and have done so all along. Baseball has drug its feet and fought change at every possible chance. I'm not sure Rigid is the word I'd use, but it's certainly better than what Baseball had until basically this year.

I'm fairly surprised no one else noticed this...Dimitri Young has an arrest warrant out for him after skipping a court date yesterday. Pretrial hearing for a domestic violence charge, he wasn't there.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 11:46 AM) 94 mph slider?!?! So, he's Bobby Jenks?

I can't tell ya how many times I've posted something in the Dems Only thread and then someone's given it a new thread a little while later. Maybe I shouldn't be so squeamish about starting threads here?

If they ever figure out who pulled that off, I think our engineering department here might admit them just for that one.

Exchange this morning between George W. Bush and a legally blind reporter for the LA Times. (The reporter later said he didn't mind, he'd never actually informed the President he was blind)

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 10:06 AM) On Trade Winds I suggested bringing back Jose Vizcaino. Scary in its own right, I understand. But he seems better to me than most of the other options that have been mentioned so far. If we're gonna put a Shortstop into the bullpen, why not use Pablo?
