QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) No one is counting the Twins out. He was responding to Greg's post basically counting us out. It wasn't just him. I've seen quite a few posts talk about how the Twins won't stick around because of their pitching (mainly starters).

I got 178. I only missed three guys from the 2000's (Ozuna, Swisher, and Lofton). The only three I missed and felt like I should have gotten were Fernandez, Cora, and Navarro. There were a few guys who I didn't even know were on the Sox at one point and some guys I flat-out never heard of.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 08:36 AM) All I gotta say is that Kotsay better be DFA'd upon Teahen's retutrn. There is no need for him at that point. Teahen can take his place as the DH lefty platoon with Jones while Viciedo and Vizquez can platoon at 3b. Lillibridge needs to stay on the bench for speed and PHing duties. Totally agreed.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 12:19 PM) Ramon Castro=therapist. I'm not a big fan of the nicknames you see around here often times, but that one really applies and fits for a few reasons. What is the story behind the nickname, though? I assumed it meant Castro, but never saw it before.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:53 PM) I don't think Ozzie is going to give Dayan enough at bats to have him truly make the impact he's capable of. He has to get his boy Kotsay in there for whatever reason. I'd also like to see therapist get more AB's in AJ's place as the catcher until he cools off, but I'm not holding my breath there. What?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) While Id like to improve the offense, KW just doesnt have the bullets this year, unless he wants to give up something that will hurt the Sox in the future (Beckham/Dayan). I am more optimistic than other Sox fans about the current team because I think that Beckham/Dayan can have big second halves and that if the Sox work Teahen, Dayan and Vizquel right that they can overcome some of the worries at DH/3b. That is where I get a ray of hope. There is a chance, IF Ozzie handles it correctly, that we can get by with this rotating DH thing.

QUOTE (Hawk09 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:08 PM) Excuse me? Minny almost swept the Sox? The Sox dominated in game 1,and in game 2 and 3 had the winning run in scoring position with PK at the plate in the 9th. Then Bobby blew a 3 run lead in the 9th of game 4. Sox should and could have very easily swept that seriis in Minny. The Twins are not a strong favorite. They still lack a starter or two. Duesing,Baker,and Slowey are very inconsistent. I really hate seeing people count the Twins out. They are half a game back right now. They are a very serious threat to us.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 12:58 PM) Hey everyone, am I the only one that think the Sox is fine as they are currently constructed? I mean,... the Sox has 58 wins, they had, like, a 13-game win streak, a 8 game win streak, and two 5 game win streaks (forgot the exact lengths of the streaks). I think I'd rather stick to the offense that's been belting out the runs the past couple weeks and not risk disrupting any team chemistry by bringing in another bat. I also think Edwin Jackson will help this team more than a bat can. Jackson makes our rotation air-tight and I think he's gonna surprise a lot of people. Plus, with Threets in our bullpen the bullpen is so much more better at Putz, Thornton, Santos, Pena, Jenks, Threets, Linebrink. I dunno, I'm just feeling VERY VERY confident in this team now, and as long as they keep winning, I don't think they'll need to trade for a DH bat. Wow, no. I hate when people use chemistry as a reason not to strengthen your team. I agree that the pitching staff should be much more than sufficient as it currently stands, but we really need a better hitter at DH (or OF with Quentin moving to DH).

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 08:17 AM) I was surprised that I liked it as well. If you guys like to be surprised by comedies you never thought would be funny, see Hot Rod.

I don't know the answer to the topic, but now I'm even more confused after reading it.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:26 PM) 1st Sox pitcher since Kip Wells in 1999 to win debut. Wow, that's bad.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:51 PM) Dayan needs to be starting at DH every game. Over Kotsay? What are you, stupid?

Thanks for that start. I don't think any of us saw him going six innings while only giving up one run. He gave us all we wanted and more.

It's a thread for bad jokes. No reason to even talk about banning.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:31 AM) What a great performance by the offense last night, really took advantage of some crap pitchers. Kotsay is the biggest rally killer ever. No, Hawk's "Don't stop now, boys" is the biggest rally killer ever.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:54 AM) Yes I thought the Lucy comment made it obvious. I also gotta say Eric Threets is looking pretty impressive. Has anyone ever hit agaisnt a pitcher with all of those tatoos on their arms? If so, are they a distracting? Those specific tattoos?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:00 AM) Don't tell Ozzie these things. Real baseball people don't watch a computer. Babe Ruth didn't watch a computer, Pete Rose didn't watch a computer. With websites such as sportsbook.com, I'm sure he would have if the technology was around.

OK, I had no access to Soxtalk all day, and now I see that this trade is official. Any actual news suggesting that where/for what Jackson would be flipped?

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:08 PM) Ive never understood people's embarrassmennt over taking a loud dump or farting in a public restroom. I mean, that's the proper place to do it, right? That should be true, but it's embarrassing because you'll still draw attention to yourself and likely draw some giggles.

I laughed my ass off at that.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:02 AM) It was a mistaken identity, which happens all the damn time unfortunately. Says who, though? I know the mother was saying that (but the victim's mother always claims that their child was perfect and had nothing to do with gangs). The kid was shot 22 times. I really can't see that being a case of mistaken identity. A drive-by where the person is hit a few times (upwards of 10), yes, but not 22 times.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 05:48 PM) Ever been in your car, stuck in traffic, when suddenly, out of nowhere, you get 'the rumbles'?? You know you have about 5 mins to get on a toliet. One of the worse feelings. Yes, unfortunately.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) I've always had places where I knew I could go and be relatively "safe" if that occurred Count your lucky stars.

I don't know about any of you, but when the temperature is in the 90's and humid, my desire to stab people in the neck increases quite dramatically.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 01:55 PM) If I know I'm going to be gone for a long while I usually take a pre-game one. Rarely have I had to use a public place. You've never been at work or school and had a case of the runs?
