Milkman delivers

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 08:52 PM) That Lowell AB killed him. He was aiming the ball, and couldn't get it over the plate. He looked like Johan Santana for the first 6 innings of this game though. He still easily deserves to win. This offense has screwed Danks over on a consistent basis this year. It pisses me off to see him screwed time and again by them.

As soon as Crisp robbed Thome, I had a terrible feeling that they were going to take the lead. I hope Danks doesn't get f***ed in the ass by the offense for the 30th time this season.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 04:35 PM) Schoeneweis had an ERA of 3.64 in his first 10 starts in 2004 (April and May, 64.1 innings) From June and beyond, his ERA was 8.14 in 48.1 IP. He was very good in the first two months, and then he was worse than a AA pitcher for 4 months. Sweet, I was pretty much on.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 04:50 PM) It is... and both gender's will love it too. My wife went laugh crazy for like 3 minutes during the movie, she couldn't stop, because a part she thought was hilarious happened, and right as she calmed down, a part that made me go apes*** in turn made her go laugh crazy all over again. It's entirely enjoyable. People trying to take this film too seriously will lose out. What part was that? I recall a similar thing happening when I went.

Are you suggesting that Tampa Bay has the AL East locked up?

I didn't realize Kittle looked like such a dork back then.

Cool, maybe I was wrong and the media will start swinging towards Quentin.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 01:29 PM) His career doesn't sound all that different than DJ Carassco and everyone wants Carassco to start games now. Although German was never released, bought for a dollar and got cut in Japan after 3 appearances. Whose to say German can't turn it around while a little older? Give him a shot. I don't know if he will but who would have thought people would want Carassco to start at this time of the year? What are you talking about? Who wants Carrasco to start?

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 01:03 PM) According to my sister, Estelle Getty was actually the first of the trifecta. That was over three weeks ago. I don't think she fits into this one.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 01:10 PM) He's only one of the most celebrated men of the last sixty years. RIP. Just recently took a class on Russian literature in the Soviet age and he was a prominent figure in the second-to-last half of the class. Be that as it may, he's still not famous enough.

QUOTE (Winning Ugly @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 01:04 PM) He was 6-9 in 19 starts for us in 2004. I think he started out winning first 3 gaes, then just ran out of gas. Yeah, I thought he actually pitched well for like a month to about a month and a half. That was just a guess off the top of my head, though.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 12:34 PM) Come on, it was uner 7 innings and like 6 years ago. That wasn't obvious sarcasm?

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 12:48 PM) As long as it works out better than the Schoenwise experiment i'll be fine with it. The 5th spot has 9 starts the rest of the year, i find it hard to believe that KW isn't going to aqcuire a veteran starter. I might be wrong, but didn't Schoeneweis actually pitch pretty well to start off the season when he started?

No, seriously, why was it unpinned? It is, by far, the biggest thread in this forum. If anything, unpin one of the useless threads.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 12:23 PM) Hopefully the 3rd person was supposed to be Morgan Freeman since he lived, and have no more surprising deaths, but probably not. Well, if recent horror movies have taught me anything, the force that Freeman escaped will keep coming after him until it gets him.

I'd like to think that I'd grab the fire extinguisher (I believe buses are required to have those) and bash the guy unconscious with it while he was focused on the victim. But, who knows what any of us would do?

No offense to the man, and RIP, but I don't think he counts as filling out the "trifecta."

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 11:41 AM) What we need, and what we can get are two different things. Kenny is trying to improve the team, even if it just incrementally. Like it or not, things like budgets and what another team is willing to deal us do come into account here. That's true, but it doesn't change the fact that we will need another starter before September arrives. It is an absolute necessity.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 11:33 AM) I didn't list anyone I didn't see play. That really narrows it down.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 11:35 AM) I wonder who we gave up. I'm sure it's a nobody. And I'm not against making a move like this, but I hope this isn't all that we have in store for us.

I have no idea who this guy is. I agree with DBAHO. It looks like we're just desperately reaching for anyone we can get a hold of. If these are the moves we're going to depend on, then we're screwed. We need a legitimate starter.

QUOTE (TCQ @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 10:08 AM) By no means am i complaining but with how good this guy was he should be much higher on this list. Its just too bad not many on this site actually saw him play. Also you forgot to mention he used to dip like a southern trucker. His last year on the White Sox was 1963. It's really not surprising that he would make very few people's lists. The few older players that I put on my list were guys that I'd heard lots of stories about and knew their stats off hand. If I remember my list, the only players on my list that I didn't see play were Ed Walsh, Luke Appling, and Joe Jackson. I believe everyone else on my list was from the 90's or later.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 12:14 AM) I don't know d*ck about swimming but when I watched Phelps go nuts and the announcer cream all over himself, I knew I saw something special. To get 5th and still break the world record is something else. What does that even mean? What happened?
