Milkman delivers

It's like every starter is guaranteed to go at least 6 (and probably 7) innings against us.

QUOTE(Brian @ May 18, 2007 -> 03:20 PM) That's unfortunate. He has come a long way since the "3 Count" days. You're right, he is not big enough to pull off the tough guy heel image. For me, it's not that he's not big enough. It's that he doesn't have a gimmick. Basically no singles wrestler has a good gimmick anymore. The Hurricane gimmick was easily one of the best in recent years, and they dropped it to put a vest on Helms and make him cocky. Ooh, wow that's cool.

Gregory Helms out for a year with some sort of neck fusion surgery. I'm gonna hope they bring him back as the Hurricane. That was one of the better gimmicks of the last few years, much better than his current gimmick of "man with leather vest."

Yayyyyyyyyyyy

Seems Buehrle's ERA has been rising steadily for a couple weeks now.

Don't like where this is going.

QUOTE(BearSox @ May 18, 2007 -> 01:21 AM) From the years 94-00, the M's were a mediocre team. Had a few playoff seasons, nothing special. Then, all of a sudden, the year ARod leaves, they win 116 games! From the years 01-03, the Rangers were the basement dwellers of the West. Then all of a sudden when he leaves, they win 89 games. Coincidences, I think not. You make me sad to not only be a White Sox fan, but a baseball fan in general.

QUOTE(spiderman @ May 17, 2007 -> 09:41 PM) This was in today's SunTimes, Williams talking about Sweeney: ''That kid's not going anywhere,'' Williams said. ''It takes a long time to get mature -- I'm talking about baseball mature. And he is right now. ''We're going to let him ride that out, let him play and see how far he can take it. It's always a plus when you can develop your own talent. He not only has shown that he can hit at this level but has come up with the big hit. We'll let it ride with him, see where it takes us.'' KW is just about the only guy in the organization that I have unwavering faith in. He is just really good at his job.

I'll give you a billion Stanley nickels if you never talk to me again.

One of those all around feel good games. Jenks has 13 saves already, that's pretty nice.

They must've changed a ruling from the game. DeSalvo's ERA went up without him even pitching the last few innings. I wonder who benefitted from that.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 17, 2007 -> 04:45 PM) Damn. Ryan now at .209. A perfectly acceptable average on this team.

Need more insurance runs.

QUOTE(vandy125 @ May 17, 2007 -> 03:13 PM) He is just trying to develop that home run power I still smile every time I see your sig. Throughout the entire playoff run in 2005, that was the only time I outwardly showed any emotion at all (until the final out of game four, of course).

Since I'm still not able to watch the games, I have to go by gameday. Is Sweeney's luster wearing off already?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 17, 2007 -> 03:08 PM) I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of Luis Vizcaino today. If I recall correctly you were telling people a story about a fight after a ballgame. Yeah, I have a vague recollection of it, but I still wish I remembered the whole thing.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 17, 2007 -> 03:05 PM) Can we also talk about never signing PK to his deal as well? What about locking up Pierzynski? How about Dye? Crede's definitely better than A-Rod defensively, but I don't think anyone said he's better than A-Rod, therefore making this thread pretty damn useless. Hawk?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 17, 2007 -> 03:06 PM) The PFC is extremely powerful. I shudder to think what would happen if we introduced it to the weaker National League. I really wish I could re-read the story that brought us the PFC, but I think it's been deleted.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 17, 2007 -> 03:04 PM) No doubt. No wonder we've been slumping this season. We forgot to take the PFC out of winter storage. American League watch out!!! Or a piece of the PFC. Why do you limit the PFC's power to just one league? As I recall, we'll be playing a National League team this week.

Seems to me that the PFC is coming through for the offense today. Keep it going!

That's nice.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 17, 2007 -> 02:55 PM) I'd take the first one. I thought so, too.

How's this? or

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 17, 2007 -> 02:41 PM) A poorly fashioned cane? You're God damn right.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 17, 2007 -> 02:36 PM) The return of wrestling analogies during the game thread? That could go a long way in helping...but not quite what I was getting at.
