If we are all saying its no big deal, then why is this kid so dominant?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 10:19 AM) Well, at least the Twins have 3 games AT Cleveland and not at home, if that's any small comfort? With Sabathia, they're not quite as scary. Of course, you don't ever want to face Lee or Carmona when they're dealing. I just don't see any realistic way they can get back in it from where they're at without CC and Byrd in the rotation...not to mention they dealt Blake, too. I dont think anyone is saying that Cleveland is going to make a run. They are going to be spoilers if anything

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 10:32 AM) If they have no desire of getting rid of someone, what's the reason for putting them on waivers in the first place? everyone can be had for a price. Why not find out what other teams are willing to shell out? Plus, waiver non-deals can be revisited in the offseason without as many waiver constrictions

I fell asleep watching a movie called "Johnny Was" the other night, Im gonna try and catch it again when it is on Encore. Strange cast, Vinnie Jones was the main character Johnny Doyle, Lennox Lewis, Roger Daltry, and Eric La Salle are the other characters in the movie. Basically Vinnie was involved in somethign pretty bad and is trying to move on with his life, and then he gets caught up with some bad people

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 08:57 PM) I've been saying it for a month now...Carlos Zambrano's shoulder is not healthy. Everyone is talking about his arm angle nowadays. Not a good thing for him to be dropping down so much. His velocity is down, he doesnt have as much movement. I wouldnt be surprised if he has offseason surgery, but I doubt he goes down during the year

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 08:01 AM) mully and hanley were talking about it....brian hanley sure didnt like jay....mulligan was taking the more PC approach saying he had a good relationship with jay, even though he knew jay ruffled some peoples feathers....hanley seemed more straight forward and was willing to talk about why people hated jay.....seemed like hanley resented the fact that jay got special treatment from the sun times by being able to be a high profile writer without having any accountability and being ya know, at the games and in the clubhouses I agree. Mully came out and said he was friends with jay so he didnt want to partake in the bashing, Hanley definitely seemed like he took exception with Jays' methods and quote clipping. They both talked about how he was good at his job and got people to talk about him

This should probably be merged with the I am drunk thread later tonite. Happy Birthday SF1 :begood

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 08:16 PM) Just got home, what happened to Swish? foul ball off the front of the shin

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 06:52 PM) where did he get hit? elbow it looked like

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 12:16 PM) if we win just 1 game in the twink-dome, we'll have only lost 1 game in the standings to them, which means if we enter that series with a 1 game lead, we could lose two of three and still be tied for first heading into cleveland Isnt the Minnesota series the very last series of the year? edit: my bad, I thought we concluded the season at Minnesota. Why must we always open and close the season with cleveland?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 10:57 AM) The Ranger was interviewing Coop on the pre-game show yesterday and he kind of went off on him, kind of like Ozzie did about Crede, saying something like: I'm kind of sick and tired of talking about Linebrink, there are way more important things going on with our team and pitchers than him, and until hes real close to coming back, which right now he isn't, i dont want to keep talking about him Didn't sound like the best news, might still be a few weeks maybe I heard that too. Coop treats Rongey like crap, I really dont like listening to him when he is talking to Rongey. When he talks to anyone else on the score he is really cordial, but he really talks down to Rongey. I know a lot of people think Rongey is a cheerleader and never talks bad about the Sox and ignores issues, but the guy has a specific job to do and he gets killed by the fans calling in all the time, I feel bad for him a lot.

I think the Red Sox are going to fade more than a lot of people think. If Drew could stay healthy, I wouldnt think that way, but I really dont believe Big Papi can carry the team without Drew AND Manny.

There is no such thing as a great third base coach. They have to make quick decisions and hope that thier players succeed and the opposing players fail. Asking for one to be fired is just dumb, because the guy that replaces him is going to make the same mistakes and have the same sort of success. We dont have a fast team, Cox can only do so much

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 03:53 AM) It was interesting to see Steady Eddie come back and pitch a perfect 8th. Amazing, the M's have handed two blown saves to Nathan at Safeco in the span of 3 weeks. How many times have we come back to beat Joe since he's been the closer? Once? Twice? I remember one game I think we tied it off him but lost it again somehow? Would have been amusing if they had been successful in getting Hawkins, too. As far as Liriano goes, the Indians' offense right now would be a good test for him again. Unfortunately, the Twins schedule from here on out is as bereft of home games as it is quality opponents. I do have hope for this reason, sometimes youngsters coming up in September for doormats can make huge impacts on the race, because they have a lot of motivation to play as well as possible against the best teams in the league...to prove something to their managers for 2009. We've managed to get 3 wins in a row from the fifth starter's spot. I don't think anyone would have predicted that when Jose went down against BOS. The Mariners really made me nervous...Lopez messed up two bunt attempts (he was the one that broke through against Nathan to give MIN the lead previously) and then fouled off about 5 pitches and hit a ball where it should have been a disaster (pulled to left side instead of pushing to 2nd) but Beltre did the ole Bartlett trick and screened Punto from the ball in the hole. Then Clement hit into a DP, but scored the tying run. Worst of all, then HOF announcer Dave Niehaus said "RA Dickey will come in for Putz next inning and I about lost my breakfast (it was morning in Thailand time)!!!" But he got out of the subsequent inning 1-2-3. Two things, Crain's definitely not going to pitch for at least one game (of course, we might have to use Thornton or Dotel as closer tomorrow...or even Carrasco)...and any day when Clayton Richard and Liriano both start and we don't lose ground, that's a net positive, although a QUentin HR to end the first game would have been sweet. Probably would have gone out in Comiskey. Oh, well. Now the only thing we have to worry about is who is going to close tomorrow, if we get into that position. And the Twins have now lost 3 in a row and maybe a few doubts (after losing 3 of their last 4 in Seattle) are starting to creep into their heads. (Of course, I said that after the M's won the first two out there 3 weeks ago and MIN responded with a fury). My internet ADD refuses to let me read all of that

I think Johnsons was more impressive because he stumbled out of the gate and then raced past everyone. Bolts is more dominating start to finish

QUOTE (Tmar @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 06:37 AM) the chest one or the waist one? cause i use both man Thats cuz you are a mountain climber, man

QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 06:44 AM) If you read the article, the complaint has something to do with the sponsor for the league wanting the kid on his team. Thats the most bogus part of the whole thing. The kid went with a different team and sponsor and all the sudden the league doesnt want him anymore. Now it all plays out in the press

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 04:23 PM) Haha people get so mad if you joke about a certain kind of clothes. Relax, I can't dress for s*** and I don't really care. I'd rather be that than spending all kinds of extra money to wear the supposedly cool looking stuff. I laughed at you guys, Im not mad at you. I have given you the gift of two great googles, get to work

I dont understand why they didnt make this earlier. There is always the possibility that this game drags on for a while, you never know

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 02:14 PM) Im not so sure about that. Since Crede is not healthy, and may not completely be healthy ever again, its kind of a moot point

I AM SO INTENSE I EAT BATS FOR BREAKFAST!!!!!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) Not so much a brand hater (I own A&F, American Eagle, whatnot), more or less wondering why you'd dress up for lecture. I wasnt referring to you. I was referring to the "Hollister is s***" crowd. Dressing up for a lecture was only required if you were speaking, IMO. Plus, being in Carbondale meant 95 degree days with 99 percent humidity on syllabus day. So going dressed to the nines was NOT HAPPENING

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 02:57 PM) We all know you're a nerd Kyle. Im rocking the pocket protector as I type

LOL at all the clothes brand haters in this 12 post(now 13) long thread
