Milkman delivers

Haha, eat s***, Gathright.

Hawk and DJ have been blowing Crede ever since he made an out. They're really trying to push the point across that he's valuable for his defense. We get it.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 10:58 PM) i hate when they sing god bless america during the seventh inning, i like the fact that we are trying to remember our country but its just a waste of time ?

That's all the convincing I need. Shingo's back!

Is that true? I heard Jenks is still a little too raw, but I can't say I'm against the move. It gets rid of Walker.

Once again, I despise the stretch call. I love Hawk, but that s*** cuts right through me.

Thank you, Shingo. Maybe he should've started the inning? Oh no, we had to let the Rays back in it. I forgot we adopted the "Kevin Walker Rule." It states that, whenever the Sox have a good chance to end a game early, one must always put in Kevin Walker.

I don't get this. Walker's ERA was over 5 in the minors. Ozzie brings him up because he's lefty, but he can't get lefties out...he can't get righties out for that matter. This absolutely boggles my mind. I honestly don't believe he'd be in the majors if he wasn't on the Sox.

WHY IS KEVIN WALKER ON THIS TEAM?!!!!!!

bnm,mvb ^Me punching the keyboard. I hate you, Kevin Walker.

Iguchi is on a constant decline. The guy looks different than earlier in the year.

41, it's the Scott Pod Show.

10-5. Man, Pods is really clutch. He'd probably be my first pick to hit in the bottom of the 9th in a tie game.

9-5, we might need this with Walker coming in.

Joe Crede and his weak ass sideburns K's. Uribe up.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 10:09 PM) I guess we're supposed to judge him by minor league standards even though he's pitching in the majors at the moment? What are you talking about?

TWO MORE CROSS THE PLATE, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 10:05 PM) You can't just say he sucks right now. He shouldn't even be in the big leagues, he's a AA pitcher in the Majors, WTF do you expect from him. You can say he shouldn't be on the team and that he's not ready, just don't say he sucks. I didn't say he should be in the majors. He does suck as a ML pitcher right now, though.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 09:56 PM) The s*** that has been said tonight about how he sucks and how we should trade him now while some "stupid team might still trade for him" is just pathetic. I clarified that he sucks right now and that it doesn't mean he'll always suck. But it can't be argued, he certainly sucks right now. I'd also trade him, but I would've traded him even before I'd ever seen him pitch. That's because I don't put any stock into prospects because they don't always turn out. Oh f***, Walker is warming. If Ozzie brings him in and he blows it, Ozzie isn't thinking.

Viz gets out of it, and I give him credit for doing so. Still, I don't trust Viz because he puts too many runners on. He's the relief version of El Duque.

Team steal at will off of us, except when Buehrle is on the mound.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 09:42 PM) Actually I think it's been the opposite the past few years. They have taken a ton of guys with great arms who needed to harness their talent and control. Examples include Jason Stumm, Wyatt Allen, Dan Wright, Nicke Lemon, Rylan Reed ... and there are a ton more. Broadway, on the other hand, is noted for his smarts and competitiveness and is more of a pitcher vs. pure stuff as you correctly point out. I think the point remainst that they haven't produced anyone that's good besides Buehrle. We can't produce pitchers, only sluggers.

VIZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sweet deal, now let's hold 'em.

I hope McCarthy enjoyed playing with his hero Frank Thomas. Hopefully he won't get another chance to do that. He sure won't be ready this or next year.

This. Guy. Sucks. Get him out, he's not ready. (And I didn't say he will always suck, but he sure as hell sucks now)
