Milkman delivers

Can the Royals just forfeit the rest of the season? That's an honest question. That team really seems to want to just walk away.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 25, 2006 -> 01:26 PM) I'll agree with that. Saturday I randomly paused in between pitches and focused on the crowd noice. So much chatter going on, and you could just tell very little of it had anything to do with the game. I literally don't talk to people during games and get teased a little for looking overly-focused. Communication should be limited to spontaneous high-fives and incoherent screaming for big plays that your team makes. I'm pretty much the same way, except I'll say random things about players and plays throughout the game. If I have to get something to eat at some point, I always stare at the field while I'm waiting in line and I'm pretty sure it annoys people that I'm not moving fast enough. At Friday's game, there was this short blonde girl that was drunk before the game even started. I swear this b**** never sat down once, and she kept walking up and down the row (not the aisle, but the row where people sit) to talk to people. She would not shut up and I wanted to clothesline her.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 25, 2006 -> 08:02 AM) I completely agree with you. Normally I just roll my eyes when the wave starts but that's because the game is not very close. Last night the wave was in full effect during a critical time in the game. Everyone around us was completely focused on the wave while the tying runner was at the plate in the 8th. You can see everyone's attention turned to their right so they can wait and get ready for the wave to hit our section. They should have been looking straight ahead at the critical at bat. And whenever the wave made a full lap around the park the place went absolutely crazy with cheers louder than for any of the RBIs our guys hit. Was truly pathetic. Additionally, after Thome, Konerko, and Dye were retired in the bottom of the 8th, 15% of the stadium got up and left. Why?!?! It was a 3-2 game. It was still early (9:30). The top of the A's order was going to be coming up in the 9th. I have never felt so embarassed with the fans at our park like I was yesterday. Chicks dig the long ball, and so do bandwagoners. I'm sure they assumed that would be it for the homers for the game with the big bats being retired, so they didn't care to stay. The thing that irritates me the most is that fair-weather fans think you're a psycho if you get upset with their lack of attention for the game or their interfering with your viewing of the game. Fair-weather fans don't equate going to a game with watching and paying close attention to a baseball game. They equate it with socializing, never shutting up, and walking around in the rows to talk to people.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 25, 2006 -> 12:08 PM) Black Ozuna jersey is next for me. I really hope you're serious. If I were to buy a jersey, it would be Ozuna or Iguchi.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 25, 2006 -> 11:54 AM) If everyone who dislikes Marriotti simply stop paying any attention to him, he'll slip into obscurity. He banks on people hating him, if he loses that, he's screwed. Don't get me wrong, I hate Mariotti as much as anyone. I just know he's not going anywhere. There will never be a big enough boycott of the paper to get rid of him.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 25, 2006 -> 11:13 AM) Exactly, if you truly dislike Marriotti, ignore him. He'll disappear in due time. I personally havn't read a column of his in 5 years, this is includes the supposed good article he did on Frank Thomas last year. I refuse to give him my attention and if you don't like him, I suggest you do the same. No way. Mariotti's not going anywhere, even if some people ignore him.

This feels really weird.

WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JENKS IS NASTY!!!!

PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

This is an A's game. This game is over already. You can just tell.

That's fantastic. This f***ing team with the s***ty hits they get off of us.

Ughhhhh, why did Chavez have to single? Nothing is ever easy. I hope Nelson looks better than he did last night. He needs to not walk anyone.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ May 24, 2006 -> 06:27 PM) I am forever a fan of the Duke after the wizardry he pulled of in a Sox uniform. Hocus Pocus says Hernandez.

Have they said anything about Uribe?

Isn't this more than likely just a way to light a fire under BA's ass?

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ May 24, 2006 -> 03:12 PM) I don't know how anyone can be happy with a transient vet, with a career of below average hitting and defense in CF, getting playing time over the highly touted rookie, who--wow--is struggling at the plate in his first full season. However, it has not carried over to his defense, from all accounts, personal and sabr, he's played one of the best CF's in all of baseball. Don't get me wrong, I love Anderson's defense. It's really great. But, he's more than just struggling at the plate. He's batting like .165, and that's horrendous.

Fantastic, I've missed it.

QUOTE(Drew @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:20 PM) ^^^^^ I've said it before and will say it again. I think the best thing that could happen for baseball is if a class act like Pujols hit 74 home runs this year. Of course it'd be better if Jim Thome hits 74, though. I'd settle for Thome finishing second in a homerun race to break that record, but I like the way you think

Hey, how long has the user box at the bottom of the page been back?

Why pitch to Pujols? Because I want to see him break Bonds' record in Barry's last year in baseball.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:54 PM) Get what you want. Not what other people like. Don't listen to him. You ain't cool, unless you pee your pants...I mean, buy an AJ jersey.

Welcome to Soxtalk. I loved your squeeze on Monday night. EDIT: And it's the unearned runs that kill Buehrle, once again.

QUOTE(Drew @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:01 PM) The Bobby Jenks: one fifth of Jack Daniel's garnish with straw. I believe that would be the Neal Cotts. He's the whiskey drinker.

I think a lot of people called that play before it happened. I know I did, and that tells me a lot of people probably did

Unfortunately, Buehrle seems to have the most trouble with them out of all of our pitchers. Am I right in saying that?
