Milkman delivers

We really need to improve the bullpen.

Why does our closer only start half of the 9th innings in which we're winning? He's the f***ing closer, use him.

Didn't Elarton shut us down last time, too? His pitch count is pretty low.

Let's hope Jon stops sucking today.

QUOTE(Hanky Panky @ May 5, 2006 -> 04:56 PM) My friend (initials B.K.) predicted that Clemens would return this season but for the Boston Red Sox. He then went on to predict that the Red Sox would be 2006 World Champions. It's been his preseason prediction from the start. Is your friend Beter Kammons?

Hands down, it's Uribe diving into the stands in the 9th inn... Oh, wait. In that case, I have to go with Iguchi.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 2, 2006 -> 10:54 PM) I read that Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco have signed for 3 movies and thats all they are committed for. the hot rumor is that Jake Gyllenhal is the next spiderman. I didnt say that the series is over, just a new cast I'm gonna get sick of the guy reeeeeal quick.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ May 2, 2006 -> 08:25 AM) Wasn't there a issue last year with Brantley and the Sox? Almost an media agrument between him and Guillen?? I remember something... Ozzie also referred to Brantley (if I remember correctly) as a horse-s*** pitcher when he was asked about what Brantley said.

And maybe Cotts' troubles can be blamed on his lack of a "closer mentality" or something? Saying it makes me feel better.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 1, 2006 -> 02:53 PM) That would be cool. I really like Pujols. He's a god at the plate, but he's very likable IMO. It wouldn't just be cool. It'd be almost poetic justice. For years of cheating, Bonds will see himself fall short of the all-time HR lead, then witness his greatest single-season achievement be broken. Whereas, Pujols would break the record after years of being a great, charitable, clean guy. Man, that's too sweet to ever come true. Or is it...

Does anyone think he actually has a chance to break Bonds' record this year? It's very early, and I certainly don't want to get my hopes up, but wouldn't it be the sweetest thing for Bonds to see his record erased in his retirement year (probably)?

So, what happened with Dye?

Can someone give me a quick overview of what's happened these 2 innings? And did the Angels do something dirty?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 11:14 PM) Yeah Griffey, Mattingly, and maybe one more...can't remember if it is one more or not. The last guy to get 7 was Thome. I remember when Thome did it with the Phillies. I believe the last person to hit a homer in eight straight was Herbert Perry. I may be mistaken, though.

Record's eight games, right?

I'm drunk, but I just wanted to say this. I love the hell out of our middle infielders. Uribe and Iguchi are the s***.

For some reason, I've always liked DJ. I'm probably in the minority, though. Nothing compares to watching the Sox with Hawk and DJ commentating.

Yeah, it was really f***in' sweet.

Does anyone have that avatar of Konerko hitting the homer after being beaned by Kerry Wood? The one that says Konerkowned. I don't even want to use it. I just want to see it again because it's so great. Kinda weird, but I'm bored.

They just showed it on Sportscenter again. I stand by my original feelings. This asshole should be out the whole year.

"It was just a mistake" doesn't fly in the real world. This idiot knows you don't touch the umpire at all, let alone with the bat. I don't care if he threw the bat or tossed it. He did something he knew wasn't allowed to do, and now he's gonna have to pay the price. I don't care if it was a mistake or if he's just immature. f*** him. He'll think twice now before he does something like this again.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 01:24 PM) Most people want him suspended with the key being thrown away. I'm stunned. I think its because he's not a major leaguer and because there aren't any Tampa fans. If he were on the Sawx or the Dodgers then their fanbases would get behind him. I say more than the Roberto Alomar suspension but nothing too ridiculous. 15-20 games will get the message across. Ask yourself, what does a season suspension tell a kid that 20 games doesn't? To me, not much It tells you that you don't throw a f***ing baseball bat at an umpire or else you don't get to play for the whole f***ing season. That's what it tells me, at least. The problem is that most people know that you don't throw bats at people, and they don't need some kind of suspension to know it. Apparently, this s***head didn't realize it wasn't a good thing to throw bats at people.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 10:30 PM) Oh f***. OH f***! 1-2 and he hit 'em. This is not good at all, very very very very very very bad. I might be turning this game off if this keeps up. f***! Jesus Christ. Take it easy, psycho.

This experiment failed miserably. It's definitely time to bring up Lopez. Boone is just too young and inexperienced.

Is this one of those games where it just seems like we can't win to anyone else?
