Milkman delivers

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 09:51 AM) I think they felt the black towels were somewhat counterproductive because they really couldnt be seen against the black background I was thinking that maybe the Sox should switch opening themes from "thunderstruck" to "Back in Black". It would be fitting, and Im sure the crowd would react Well, my main problem with switching to white towels is that we won with the black towels. You do not change anything in this type of situation. And switching the opening theme would be the same thing.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 11:36 PM) Nice rack on the left there! Is that what you were showin' us?.... I was just about to say, "look at that set of tits." Apparently they were hard to miss.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 12:31 AM) Saito is awful against the Cubs. Torre might want to remember that if this is close in game 3. Joe Torre is an incredible in-game manager. He assuredly put Saito in there for a reason, and will know what to do with him in the future.

Perhaps get a real pitcher in there.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 12:22 AM) Geez, that Frank C as McCain commercial was the worst one yet, and I didn't think that was possible. His Tony Soprano impersonation seemed to be pretty good.

I'm thinking of buying a camera. It's definitely not something I need, but I have this feeling like I should own one. I really don't want to spend more than $200. Is it even possible to buy a quality camera for that much? Any suggestions?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:56 PM) Its true I am a lawyer, but Im not a criminal lawyer so some times I sue some times I defend, really just depends on who my client is As for defending Javy, Im not. Im just saying that some people are being ridiculous calling for hurt on him, that people are starting to make Javy a scape goat. They are not mutually exclusive, Javy can be at fault and fans can be over reacting. Im just tired of reading about Javy, just like I was tired about reading about Garland, just like I was tired about reading how Floyd sucked. I just dont see the point on ragging on a player constantly, how is that constructive? How is that in any way going to do anything? Maybe I just remember the days when the Sox didnt even win 1 game from their 5th starter and now we have people who are to good for Javy. Does anyone remember the seasons before 2005 and the parade of garbage that used to pitch for the Sox. I guess its not so much defending Javy as it is that Im sick of reading half the posts on these boards. Not to mention, Javy may be with the Sox next year. If he is, Im going to give him a chance just like any other player. That's the thing. Blindly supporting a player also isn't constructive, nor does it help anything. We, as fans, can't do anything to change how the guy pitches. But, we can make known how we feel about the guy, and sometimes we need an outlet to vent our frustrations with players like Vazquez. Many of us see this site as a place to do this.

He would actually have one more run-in with the super buddies. After the game, YASNY happened upon the severely beaten super buddies in an alley, apparently falling victim to someone wielding a poorly-fashioned cane. But, that's a story for another time.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 07:13 PM) Why would the players be mad at Javy? From what I remember Javy has been given some of the most brutal defensive plays over the last 3 years by his team. Today there was a dropped ball on potential double play, a pop up to left field that no one decided to even try for, and 2-3 weak ground balls to the left side of the infield that rolled right through with out the Sox even getting a glove on them. You can all have your scape goat if it makes you feel better at night, but the bases were loaded with 1 out and the Sox couldnt even score 1 run. Since when is giving up 6 runs impossible to come back from? This team is not going to get far if the pitchers have to keep the other team to 4 runs or less, the Sox are not built that way. From what I remember, you are a lawyer. You definitely seem like a defense attorney. I hope you're better at defending your clients than you are at defending Vazquez. Nobody's buying it.

I like the Fall, and you can all just kiss my ass.

And who was with JimH? Why it was Juggernaut, Jabroni, and Redandwhite. As they yelled for the others to stop, everyone ignored them.

It's to the point where I think even his own teammates hate Vazquez. I wouldn't be surprised if his own family, his children, disliked him. I wish nothing but horrible things for that man.

This game will be so much less stressful watching from my bed. I'm totally doing that. Good luck everyone, and try not to get ulcers.

Ah, we don't deserve to win this if we can't make contact on a hit and run.

Uribe swinging for the fences. I hope we don't resort to that for the remainder of this game.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:50 PM) I just don't understand how a guy can go from unhittable to a batting practice pitcher from hitter to hitter like Vazquez. That kills me about him. How can you strikeout 200 batters and have an ERA close to 5.00? There is only 1 other pitcher (Burnett) in the bigs with +200 Ks and an ERA over 3.50. Because he is a loser, plain and simple.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:44 PM) .860 OPS or away from Safeco though. Oh and Brian, Perez is a FA this off-season, and will get a pretty lucrative deal. If he leaves the Mets, then Vazquez to them is a definite possibility. If Vazquez actually only gave up 4ER over 6 innings here, is that a decent enough outing? At least he's given us a chance to win I guess. No, not at all, especially since he gave up all of those runs immediately after we scored ours. It took away all of our momentum.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:40 PM) Im watching the game where Bartlett hit a weak grounder to third for a single. Im watching the game where the Rays went to sacrifice on the next pitch but instead Maddon out manages Ozzie and has Iwamura swinging. Im watching the game where the Sox continue to pitch to Longoria with 2 outs. Could Javy done better? Sure. But the facts are in this case he is not being put in a position to succeed. Outside of what 3 hits no one on the Rays has even come close to hitting the ball hard? God, someone is still defending this pussy? What is wrong with you?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:27 PM) Now would you go that far? If his plane home crashes after the season, I'll have to really work at it to feel bad. I swear I wouldn't feel bad. I hate this man more than anyone I ever knew.

f*** JAVIER VAZQUEZ MOTHERf***ER I WISH I COULD PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE

There are no words to describe my hatred for Javier Vazquez. If terrible, terrible things were to befall him, I would smile.

Why is nobody in there?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 07:35 PM) anderson could've easily uncorked one of those airmail throws to the backstop that we've seen him toss. you act as if his arm strikes fear into opposing teams. Anderson is a legend...on soxtalk. He would've thrown the ball home in order to stop Cuddyer from advancing to 3rd from 2nd earlier in the inning? My point was that Cuddyer wouldn't have advance to 3rd base on the fly out earlier in the inning.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 07:58 PM) Ah, I forgot about that. Let's instead say, his biggest start with the Sox. That'll due. Let's just hope those two starts turn out very differently.

They wouldn't have sent him, as Cuddyer wouldn't have moved into 3rd base on Anderson, as he did with Griffey. And I completely agree with IlliniKrush.
