QUOTE(YASNY @ May 25, 2006 -> 09:19 AM) I agree on all but Pods. He'll get 1-3 games. I'm not sure about Pods...yeah he did a lot, but he was also RIGHT THERE when it happened, it's not like he was coming out of the dugout, AJ was sucker punched right in front of him, what was he supposed to do, nothing?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 25, 2006 -> 09:09 AM) Whats Boyers Email? bboyer at chisox dot com worked for me last time.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 25, 2006 -> 07:45 AM) That's "key" for sure. More federal govt control over us. Not just the illegal immigrants, or the legal immigrants but all of us. If you're not an illegal immigrant, what do you have to hide?

So that's why he was beaned in the head yesterday.

Mr. Skilling, the forecast is for a long time in Jail. Same for you Kenny Boy. Bye bye.

It all depends on Derek Lee.

So, if both he and his wife have it, clearly it's related to something in their environment.

And yet all this page does is give Mariotti more press...exactly as he wants.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 25, 2006 -> 08:43 AM) Without Mackowiak in the starting lineup last night, we don't win the game. And Dye's just as much to blame on the dropped fly ball as Mackowiak is. Also....anyone who thinks that Anderson would have gotten a hit off of Haren last night is nuts. Righties only had 1 hit last night against A's pitching. Slightly off topic...but with Crede scuffling and Mack whacking the ball right now, now might be an ideal time to give Rob a couple of starts at 3rd and let Crede get some extra rest/batting cage work...especially when we don't have the ground ball pitchers (Mark & Jon) on the mound.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 25, 2006 -> 06:54 AM) Barrett should get at least 5 and I think Derek Lee is in line for a suspension for coming onto the field while being on the DL ... not that his suspension will matter. Contreras hit the field while on the DL as well (he didn't come off the DL until the next day.)

QUOTE(samclemens @ May 24, 2006 -> 05:46 PM) i am so f***ing sick of vincente fox and his corrupt government. i am glad to see the senate is growing some semblence of a pair of testicles with the fines for business that hire illegals. His government is still probably the least corrupt government Mexico has had in decades.

The home runs will come AJ, especially when it warms up. Just put the ball in play.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 24, 2006 -> 05:09 PM) Actually, this Congressman has not been indicted for anything yet - but when an investigation is launched, other Congressmen from the Dem side have stepped down from committees where there may seem to be a conflict of interest in the interest of preserving the ethics of the institution. The indictments are probably going to come down in a little over a month, from what I've read. At this point it's basically a foregone conclusion. QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ May 24, 2006 -> 05:55 PM) You can't tell me that you actually believe that. You are not stupid. You may be a liberal, but you are not that stupid. NONE of the politicians do what they do to 'preserve the ethics of the institution', They ALL do what they do with their own best interests in mind, the interests of their party next, and maybe then, some nagging little ethics concern. Those that would put ethics first, from both parties, could probably be counted on one hand, and wouldn't even be in that type of situation for it to matter. Those 10 words have got to be the most insane things I have ever read on this site. Ever. You know the real sad thing IMO? If there was actually a Congressperson or two out there acting with the best interests of the institution first and simply not caring about their own interests or their party's, they wouldn't be recognized because the stench of everyone else up there is so bad that it's just sort of assumed that they're trying to benefit themselves no matter what.

QUOTE(beautox @ May 24, 2006 -> 07:43 PM) is it me or does Jenks now have 4 pitches? i know he was a starter in the Angels organization. It looks like hes got a cutter and a change up along with his fast ball and 12-6 hook. I think that pitch he threw to Ellis was that hard slider he breaks out every now and again. Man was that nasty. Ellis just stood there for like 10 seconds thinking "What the Hell was that?".

Now THAT was a hell of a game. Mark JD Mack Crede JT Pods Thornton Bobby the Giant Yowza That was just a dynamite game to watch. Break out the brooms!

28 pitch inning for MB. That was ooogly. At least it's over unscathed.

Big key batter right here. It'll either wind up being an out or we'll be down at least 3 into the next inning.

QUOTE(BFirebird @ May 24, 2006 -> 05:23 PM) He has lost some velocity...therefore people don't chase his bad pitches anymore. He never really had any control...it is just easier for the hitters to see the bad pitches with the lack of velocity. His mechanics are also really off right now...he's trying to make up for the drop in velocity by overthrowing everything, so hitters wind up able to pick up his arm angle a lot better. He'll improve if he fixes that. No more 20 win seasons probably, but he's not as bad as he looks now.

Good lord, I turn away for like 10 seconds and Buehrle throws 8 pitches.

JD down to .556 average with RISP and 2 outs. 21 pitch first inning for Haren. 9 pitch first inning for Buehrle.

Time for Dye to take care of business.

That's Haren's 10th walk in 10 games.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 24, 2006 -> 05:10 PM) ...and he got you 0 points that inning. Loser. You ever notice how a lot of times guys will make a great defensive play and then have a great offensive play next time up to bat?

QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ May 24, 2006 -> 05:09 PM) good article but why did he knee the giants trainer in the groin? or am I missing something? AJ's denied that ever happened.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 24, 2006 -> 05:07 PM) Dumb question but.... can you DH for another position theoretically? So, the shorter version is..."no".
