QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) For anyone wanting Greg Walker to be fired, I give you this tidbit: Hawk was saying the more he's around Walker, the more he sees how "solid" he is. Since we know Hawk is basically the voice of the Sox front office, it's safe to say Walker's not going anywhere. That's exactly what people speaking for an organization say when a guy is about to be replaced. "We have total confidence in our manager" etc.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 08:29 PM) Timo showing his amazing versatility by swinging at the first pitch he sees. I bet he just wanted to get back into the dugout to finish off what he started with Ozzie. Maybe they realized it's 9:30 in Denver and Ozzie sent him up so that the team could get some sleep.

That's 103 pitches at the end of the 8th. Freddy leading off the 9th.

That's 100 pitches for Garcia. Great Game Freddie...

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 08:22 PM) Cora's been sending a lot of guys today. You don't think Dye had enough time to run through him? Cora's been sending everyone all year. Everyone. I bet we lead the league in guys thrown out at home. Can anyone check that?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 08:09 PM) Damn it, has Freddy looked good or what? 19 in a row retired by him. Another inning or two of this and Freddie's gonna start saying Coors Field is his favorite park to pitch in.

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 08:06 PM) if Shingo or Viz sees tick in this game, a 6 run lead might not be enough in this ballpark... I say Shingo gets the 9th...he needs some work...and Politte should be ready as a backup.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 08:03 PM) They might have. Konerko's homer was with 2 outs, then all those runs in the other inning I think were 2 outs, too. How about that third run after Garcia gave up the 3-run homer? No...That scored on a GIDP by Crede. The rest were with 2 outs.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 07:40 PM) When you find evidence of a person having a rebuttal opinion not being given air time on the network let me know. I already did. Read above. Click links.

QUOTE(kman @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 07:38 PM) jd is really starting to come into his own. He's hitting .368 in June. As bad as he was the first month and a half...the pendulum was bound to swing the other way. I think he'll be hitting .260 or so by the end of June, which is starting to get up to where he should be. If guys like him get their average up to normal, non-terrible numbers, then this team will be very hard to beat. Ever.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 07:23 PM) He also made up a French newspaper out of thin air once too, so... I think that was the funniest MMFA Find ever. I fell on the floor laughing at that one. "Media Matters for America found no evidence of a publication named "The Paris Business Review."

31 steals for Pods.

13 in a row retired now by Garcia I believe. He's a monster today.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) Come on Joe, base hit and bust it open. No reason at all for them to pitch to Joe. Come on Freddie...you're due for a hit.

And A.J. drives in 2...3 runs scored with 2 outs this inning

4-3 sox...somehow Konerko scores from 2nd on a single.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 07:09 PM) If its anything other than his Hammy, then its s***. Its not that hard to run something out. Another 1-2-3 inning after a deep flyout to center. Heck...even if he's feeling fine, the last thing we want is a hurt starter. Or hell, even if he's saving his legs to keep himself fresher on the mound, i'm fine with it. It's not like these guys are exactly accustomed to the air up there.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 07:04 PM) What happened to Pods and his patient approach? He's walked twice in his last 18 games. What happened to Crede and trying to keep his swing plane level and his shoulder closed?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 06:54 PM) I usually tune to Fox for breaking news. I usually like their live coverage better. If the Dems have blundered, I watch Fox to get the worse possible slant. Hey...at least you're not denying it. I don't mind the existence of Fox News. I don't mind the existence of a Republican news channel. But I can't stand 2 things; 1. They lie and say they're "fair and balanced". 2. As a Democrat...I don't have anywhere I can turn for the same thing. No one out there would even consider giving 75%+ of their interview time to the Democrats.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 06:55 PM) even though uribe hit the ball well, he is the most un dispiplione hitter I ahve ever seen. No exaggeration. Why the hell can't harold baines teach him to be patient. Just work on it damn it. Just be patient. Side note what does Harold do anyway? I think he does Ozzie's job when Ozzie gets tossed.

You know what I think the funniest part of this whole post is... It's the fact that Larry Elder is still willing to claim that the U.N. resolution calling on Saddam to Disarm was still justification for the war. I could rant for a couple pages on the distortions above...but I think that the fact he doesn't even bother to pretend that the war was about democracy promotion/freeing those people and still acts like it was about those non-existent WMD's I think should tell you how credible that source is.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 06:38 PM) I agree you need to get the runner in, and that was better than his usual strikeout, but how about gettting a hit. Lets try that next time. we will need 9 runs this game. I'm wondering if we'll have a chance to finally score 5 runs in an inning this series.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) Actually, in that situation, it was very important for Crede to get that runner home. With the pitcher up next, it would have likely put Pods in a situation where he had to get a 2 out hit. I don't like Crede at all, but at least he got the runner in. Now, if we can just get Garcia to stop throwing 3-1 fastballs to lefties with a righty up next, we'll be fine. For once...I almost rather Joe would have hit it in the air.

Man...that didn't take long. You think Paulie will like Coors?
