Milkman delivers

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 05:20 PM) I cant remember his name but if I heard it I would know it.He looked kinda slow in his face,he had big ears brownish reddish hair.This was almost fifteen years ago so its hard to remember but his name is at the tip of my toungue. If the name comes to you, let me know. I'm pretty interested in figuring out who this is. Whoever it is seems to be a few years older than me, but I bet I know him, anyway.

Half Irish, a quarter Italian, and a quarter German. The most offensive way I can put it is that I'm a McNaziWop.

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 07:39 AM) 1995.It wasnt you was it?lol Ha, no, but I bet I know the person who did it. Any chance you remember the name? Or a physical description.

Ahh, again I'm honored to have voted the highest for this man, despite being in the terrible company of B>W. Knight, is there any way you can tell me who I voted #2 and #3? It has slipped my mind.

I'm honored to have voted the highest for him.

I didn't get to see any of this game, but it looks pretty perfect. Now, we need to take the series against Oakland.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 09:20 PM) On a much lighter note, who the hell unpinned this thread. Someone keeps doing it. I'd like to know who and why. I assume it's a joke.

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 12:58 PM) Today I was just thinking back to 7th grade when I got my face punched in.It was during a basketball game for my school,we were playing St.Gabriel and I was standing at the free throw line.This meathead goone said I was chewing my gum like a horse and I said it was from his mothers mouth.It didnt go over so well with him so as we are running back to the other end of the court he punches me on the right side of my face.It was totally a cheap shot but by judging how hard the punch was and the damage it did it wouldnt have made any difference if we were looking at each other face to face.I turned back around and he was gone with both team benches laughing hysterically at what happened.My right eye and cheek swelled up to were it looked like I was growing another head.I stayed in the game and had to swallow my pride the rest of the way.I still hold some hatred towards the douche,I gotta say.But if I seen him I would probably run because my cheek bone still hurts to this day if I press on it.I hope you guys have some funny stories. Ha, I went there. When was this?

Lostfan and fathom, get in the chat...it is dead.

Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 01:11 PM) Back to Chicago, anyone use the word 'front room' to describe the living room?...and the pronunciation sounds like 'french room'? It's more like "frunch room." Also, I've never heard anyone say "Da" as an article in my life, unless they were just doing the skit from SNL.

Hey! Hey! Anyone going to be in there? Eh?!

QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 10:22 PM) I don't care what anyone says, IMO, Javy is our 2nd best pitcher. Before I'd say he is our best, but that title goes to Danks now. That statement has nothing to fall back on.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) I was wrong about Vazquez....I thought he was going to dominate and turns out he is Jon Garland revisted. Except Jon Garland actually pitched well in a season that we were competitive. He was also a huge factor in the White Sox winning the World Series, whereas Vazquez cannot take the slightest amount of pressure.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 12:40 PM) I thought the 4 & 5 guys in the rotation would be absolute garbage. Ha, well you might actually have been right on that one. Perhaps you just had the names of those two pitchers wrong.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 10:17 AM) Linebrink's out until at least September now. Wow, and he's signed to a 4-year deal. He's seemingly been hurt forever.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 01:39 AM) I don't think anyone foresaw Crede's back injury lingering as long as it has nor Contreras blowing out his achilles (but if you did see that, you should have let him know about it...maybe just give him a shove and a nod about not covering first on that particular play). The Twins also played the mighty, mighty Seattle Mariners and proceeded to lose the series and then played the ever so tough Kansas City Royals (who I fully expect the White Sox will sweep, though I obviously can't be certain of that). This is also just the beginning of the Twins roadtripping. A 14 game and 10 game road trip mixed in there while the Sox have 9 of their next 12 at home and like 19 of the next 31 are at home too. My only cause for concern are the injuries that are occurring to this team, but there have been some trades that have been made that look like they'll help the Sox down the stretch. Horacio Ramirez may or may not be a suitable bullpen arm but he's been solid this year and if Carrasco sucks I could very easily envision the Sox either picking up Paul Byrd or calling up Poreda and giving him a shot down the stretch. Otherwise, the rest of everything will work itself out. The offense is generally too inconsistent to go on a long winning streak, but if they keep hitting homers, they'll be a good team down the stretch. I very much doubt it. We always find a way to lose to crappy teams, especially the Royals this year.

I was pretty much wrong on every prediction, whether pessimistic or optimistic. I'll just narrow it down and say the few things I got correct. Vazquez, Danks, and Ramirez.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 09:47 PM) their fans are convinced we are going to win the division it's funny the similarities between us just shows you that both of these teams are massively flawed and not great, the division is a crapshoot at this point Ha, playing to see who gets bounced by the Angels/Rays? It really feels like it. I can definitely see us making the playoffs, but I feel like we'd get dominated by either of those two.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 09:45 PM) Kinda like how they destroyed the worst team in baseball up in Seatle. The Twins are unstopable. Well, they're somehow still in first place.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 09:43 PM) if we can just keep pace with the twins, who have also not played all that great..., once they start playing Oakland, LAA, and Tampa on the road.. i like our chances So, basically we just have to keep playing .500 ball and expect the Twins to play worse than that.

It's painfully obvious we need to add pitchers. Anyone who denies it is just ignoring a gaping, growing hole. The bullpen is entirely hit or miss, and we're going to have a black hole in the 5th starter spot. If KW doesn't add some depth, we go nowhere.

We seem to be settling for playing .500 for the most part. That will not get us into the playoffs.

So, Beckett = Maddux?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 09:24 PM) The Joe Mays attack model. Our lack of offensive execution in games where we dont deposit the ball over the fence is a joke. If we dont hit home runs, we cant win. Honestly, did anyone think "the momentum is going to swing the other way now" after the Crisp catch?
