Milkman delivers

That game was something special. Whoo!

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 04:31 PM) It's not the radar gun, that's for sure. I've seen Freddy pitch many times this year, he's sitting at 88-90. If he needs to, he can dial up 91-92 (maybe 93, although that's probably stretching it), but he seems more comfortable in the high-80s range. Whether or not that's a good thing for the Sox/us fans... If it's just his choice, I just can't figure out why he'd do it. He has been a successful pitcher throughout his career with his stuff. Why fix it if it's not broken?

I thought Reyes was a lefty for some reason. I'm glad he's not.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 04:26 PM) Going into the thread like that, what'd you do when the first word you saw was "Pujols"? Ha, luckily I knew what it was the second I saw that name. Or else I would be depressed from being so high and crashing right back down.

Damn, saw just the "Unofficial" part of the title and thought we had made a trade.

I can't remember getting more aggravated with a topic in a shorter length of time.

Today's game can't start soon enough.

If Ozzie actually gets suspended for his remarks about Mariotti, will that be like a first for a columnist to actually have an effect on a team? What I'm getting at is that Jay is no longer content with just irritating the s*** out of every club in Chicago, now he's actually going to screw with the team's management?

The 3 games for Riske should be nothing. Off days count, right? That's pretty good.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 11:39 AM) Well hell: at least you acknowledge one of my points about bashing equally. But is everybody going to keep pretending that he hasn't been a vocal Sox fan the past two years? I concede though that I never watch him on TV and for all I know he comes off like a total a-hole. I only know him from print. It has nothing to do with how he comes off on TV. The other reporters know his writing. They know he prods everyone constantly, flip flops on issues, and is just generally a dickhead.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 11:33 AM) Pfft. Sheep. Right. No, I'm the guy who actually reads him. And again I say: prove that Mariotti is so anti-Sox. If he's full of s***, he's full of s*** and I'll say it when he is (and he is sometimes). But excuse me if I don't get in line to drink to Kool-Aid here. If he were that much of a Sox-bashing jagoff, I would have stopped reading him long ago. Really, Chip? I'm one of the biggest, loyal Sox fans in the world so obviously you don't know what you're talking about. Try coming up with something better than a lame straw man. He bashes everyone equally. We don't hate him just for being against the Sox. He switches sides on a topic at the drop of a hat, and he does it all to get people to read him. I read him for a long time before I stopped. He plays both sides. Hell, if you watched Around the Horn yesterday, you would've seen that even the other reporters think very little of him. They know his game.

If you honestly believe all of that, LV, you're a sheep.

No, but I'll bet it's because we hit his son. Well, jerk, don't hit any of our guys. If you do, we're coming after your family. We're like the mob.

Lowell is another guy whose doubles have gone up and homers decreased in the last few years. Hmm...

At Tuesday's game, they had a stat on the board that said the Cardinals are 11-2 against the NL East this year.

How many homers are we on pace for as a team?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 09:54 PM) I saw the TV interview prior to the game today. He called Moronatti a piece of s*** 4 more times and then challenged him to stand and face Ozzie. LOL! Of course the Mariotti the b**** wont do it. He's such a ***. The fact that you said that made me laugh out loud. You're awesome, Nuke.

I respect no national league team. Or maybe the word "fear" is better. That league is weak.

QUOTE(G&T @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 09:46 PM) How do I manage to take the only guy in the lineup who doesn't get a hit for my Pick to Click. I've got DJ luck going. You suck. I would love to play the Tigers right now. We'd destroy them and absolutely tear their hearts out.

VOWWY? I like the Ozzie-speak usually, but that isn't anything close to what anyone would sound like saying Bobby. Oh, and that was a damn good game.

It just started pouring over the Cell. Not sure how long this will last.

You know, I really want Jay Mariotti to get hit by a bus. I usually don't mean terrible things like this, but I honestly wish that upon Jay.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 01:48 PM) First.. it's dago, not dego ya boneheads.. A dago t is a sleeveless undershirt. I don't know what a "white beater" is, but all my years on this planet all the wops in my family referred to a tank top as a "wife beater". That's the definition I grew up with, and that's how I spell the word, too. I called it a dago T for years before I even found out that it wasn't the actual name or that the word "dago" was derogitory. Now, on to more pressing issues. I will preface this by stating that I am about half Italian, and I will understand if it's deleted. What happens when an Italian guy's tire gets a flat? Dago wop, wop, wop.

If Smoltz's ERA were to increase by a run, as many think happens to NL pitchers that move to the AL, this would be good.
