Milkman delivers

Hey, Marte sucks. What's new?

Great...Marte with an inherited runner.

EVERYBODY LOVES THE GOOCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who was Toronto's all-star?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) You really like the players on this team, dont you? Not when they get picked off of first with a runner at 2nd and are an awful #3 hitter.

Carl is caught off 1st, then he probably hurts himself. Way to go, f***er. I hope we can somehow get Griffey, because we can't have that POS in the #3 hole.

Anyone know how many paid and how many are in attendance?

Remember when Pods' average was over .300? Yeah, I'm starting to forget, too.

Damn, Eric Hinske is an ugly bastard. http://www.baseball-reference.com/c/contrjo01.shtml Ha, read the caption in yellow from the sponsor of the page.

I've only just started watching this game, but I've already seen Contreras throw about 4 pitches right at the knees and it's not getting called a strike.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 12:06 PM) With the money, maybe they can afford to pay some real actors for part 2. Don't you ever talk about Westley like that again!

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) Didn't Julius Peppers get busted recently as well? A few summers ago, I worked with a guy who played (and I assume still plays) for UNC. Apparently, just about everyone on the team knew Peppers was on more than one illegal drug, and I don't just mean steroids.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) We're already 9-3 against them. Hyperbole, eh?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 11:20 AM) Bill Romanowski might be the biggest NFL name who was on the juice...he was on the BALCO program. While he was on it, he attacked and severely injured a teammate during a practice - most likely a fit of "roid rage". Romo supposedly had a little briefcase-type thing filled with pills. He took something like 25 pills a day or some garbage. The guy he punched in the face almost lost vision in that eye, I think.

QUOTE(soxhawks @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 10:42 AM) the dodgers are 11 games under .500 and only four back if the sox were in this division they would be 17.5 up We'd be up more than that because we'd be destroying that division worse that we are destroying the Central. Our record would probably be something like 42-3 against those scrubs.

I don't know if he's ever been caught, but David Boston is clearly on them.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 08:47 AM) They don't have to try very hard to make it better than the first. Exactly, it sucked. I understand why they made the movie, though. The first one made an ass-load of money, so why the hell not?

Eh, Iragi general is tortured and killed. I surprisingly don't care.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:26 PM) Let's see now. Griffey has been injured EVERY YEAR of the last how many years?? Sure he's dodged the bullet this year, SO FAR. Does that mean he even makes it to October?? It seems to me you are betting the farm on a highly risky player. And I think Griffey has negative value in subsequent years because he is absorbing money we could spend on more reliable players. Remember Carlos Lee? Wouldn't you rather have him as the DH? Didn't we get rid of him because he was making $8 million/year? I'm not suggesting we reverse the trade for Pods, just that there may be hitters cheaper, but more reliable and a lot younger than Ken Griffey. But let's also look at the marginal value again. 1995 ALDS SEA NYY W 5 23 9 9 0 0 5 7 2 4 .391 .444 1.043 ALCS SEA CLE L 6 21 2 7 2 0 1 2 4 4 .333 .440 .571 1997 ALDS SEA BAL L 4 15 0 2 0 0 0 2 1 3 .133 .188 .133 In 1995, in the prime of his career 10 years ago, Ken Griffey had a great postseason. Then in 1997, when he was still a superstar, Ken Griffey laid an egg. 2 hits in 15 ABs. Remember what happened to Frank Thomas in 2000? MVP season. He and Maggs and Lee couldn't hit a lick in 3 games against Seattle. Griffey sounds sexy because he's a name. He was once good. But trading for such faded stars on their last legs is not the way to build a winning team year after year. It is certainly not worth giving up one of our top prospects. Baseball America lists Chris Young as our 6th best prospect. But he also rates as our best baserunner and best athlete. I'm willing to take my chances in the postseason with Carl Everett if we can't add a bat that costs a whole lot less risk than Ken Griffey. And I believe the Sox will still be kicking ass in 2008 with Chris Young in the outfield and Brandon McCarthy on the mound.

Welp, it's always fun to watch a terrible effort against a bad pitcher in person. We suck at home, and it's because all they do is swing for the fences. This is getting to be ridiculous. How the f*** can we be this bad at home? And I know the answer, it's just mind-boggling.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 04:03 PM) Talk about buckling under the pressure... Anyways, "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a b****?" was funnier than any you have listed, in my opinion. The show was funny until it got as overrated as it did. It stopped being funny when they stopped showing after South Park. It was still good, but South Park made it better because it got you laughing first. I remember me and my friends getting together to watch those two shows on Wednesdays during school, and that was the only time I regularly watched a TV show all of freshman year. They put Chappelle's Show on Thursday last year, and we didn't even bother watching it because it wasn't nearly as good.

OK, considering he's placed on waivers and such and everyone passes on him, would the trade be likely to happen soon?

QUOTE(S720 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 02:22 PM) If my memory served me correctly, I believe Manny cleared his waiver last year. Noone wanted to touch that humongous contract. Hopefully, Griffey will clear his waiver as well. Even if he's cleared, I doubt their owner would approve the trade this time since they've already rejected once. Griffey would look mighty fine in the White Sox uniform!!! Well, wouldn't KW just ask for less money from the Reds for the contract if he's that serious about getting him?
