QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:19 PM) Your birthday is May 26, too? Sure is. Only heroes are born on May 26th

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) That is incredibly similar to what the Sox did last year against Johnson, last year it was 2-3-4 hitting the HRs with the catcher hitting the 4th HR and it being a 3 run HR. In 96 it was 3-4-5 and the catcher hitting the 4th HR but it was a 2 run HR. The homerun that still sticks out to me was Harold Baines. It was a linedrive to left field, and I swear to god that ball didnt go over 15 feet off the ground. It was just a smash. Kreuters homerun was surprising though, because it was a bomb, about halfway up the RF bleachers.

QUOTE(White Sox Fan For Life @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:11 PM) But why would I have a picture of a person that I do not know as my avatar? LOL, do you ever look at peoples avatars? You are one of the few who use your own picture as their avatar.

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 05:31 PM) did anyone catch the clip on ESPN News today. The Brew Crew hit 5 homeruns in the 4th inning, tying a Major League record 4 off one pitcher I was at a Sox game on May 26, 1996(my birthday) when Thomas, Baines, Ventura went back to back to back, and then Lyle Mouton hit a single, and Chad Kreuter followed with another homerun. I think it was all against Mike Fetters too.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 11:58 AM) Oh he was serious. He's tried to backpedal, saying he thought it was funny. But the video shows he clearly did not find it humorous. The best part is, he is a burgeoning politician. So he's running around the internet trying to get this thing removed to protect his image. I've got the thing saved to my HD, his name plugged into Google alerts, and a stock email already written just waiting to be addressed to his opponent. LMAO!!! That is too funny Cheat

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 11:46 AM) Since we are not typing english here. Cén fáth nach dtuigeann tú? lol, i have no idea what anyone is saying. Thats pretty much what my sentence says, I used a English - Spanish translating program on some website.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 11:39 AM) Should we be expecting a "Ozzie's Sunday Special" line up today? Oh wait, Timo is gone and most of the reserves played yesterday. The Ozzie Sunday Special just doesnt bother me anymore. These reserves are great.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in '05 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 11:35 AM) The nice side of me says that is just wrong.......then I start laughing my ass off. Im curious if that those ladies ended up in court. She has all the evidence she needs, an unprovoked assault.

Yo no tengo la menor idea lo que usted tipos dicen y tuve que utilizar a un traductor en línea para decir esto.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 10:15 AM) Well he is 6 homers away from becoming 2nd in the history of baseball I understand that completely. Its just annoying the crap out of me. We are on alert for every homerun he hits, and even moreso for the games he doesnt hit homeruns. I understand why, I just wish it would be over soon.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 09:28 AM) The last 2 offseasons combined the Astros have added ONE so-so free agent.. and that was Preston Wilson They havent really done much the past few years, its really dissapointing living here and wanting them to actually DO something and they dont sign a damn person worth anything for the second year in a row Well what should they do? They made the world series last year, its not like they had a bad team.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 09:25 AM) Aboz gets the jump on the gamethread! Lets Rip Em! Hasnt 8 games been a high water mark for the White Sox win streaks for quite some time now? I cannot remember them going past 8 games in a row for some time now.

QUOTE(Beltin'Bill @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 01:31 PM) The Astros have been one of the most consistently successful franchises in the Major Leagues over the past ten years. They have made several playoff appearances, advanced to a few LCS and made their first WS appearance last year. They are a well run organization that continues to have success. I would say they are the best run franchise in the majors after the Braves (and possibly the Cardinals). I mean no disrespect to the Yankees and Red Sox, but while their runs of success have been impressive in their own right, the Astros have done it without spending excessive $$$ on multiple superstars and have also done an exceptional job of promoting from within the organization. Their continued success does not surprise me in the least bit. I disagree with that, in the last two years they have had some big contracts for multiple superstars. Clemens, Bagwell, Petitte, Oswalt, Berkman, all have salaries that exceed 11 million a year. I dont remember what Kent was making 2 years ago, but I know he wasnt cheap either. Than you have their second tier of players that make 4 million a year in Preston Wilson, Biggio, Ensberg, Lidge. The team has thrown the money around at their big names, no doubt. The thing they have done well is promote from within, they havent had to go outside of their own organization very much to fortify their roster. And thats the way it should be if you ask me, if your players come up and perform, you pay them.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 07:21 AM) The problem with this article is that the author is taking all the expressions literally. When a coach tells you to keep you eye on the ball while hitting, what he is actually wanting you to do is keep your eye on it as long as possible. When he says 'get under the ball' in the outfield, he wants you get to the general area in time to make necessary adjustments. The expressions get the point across a lot better than the alternative suggested by this guy and therefore are more effective from a coaching standpoint. I also think the author is wrong about coaching little leaguers. You cannot compare keeping your eye on the ball in the major leagues to keeping your eye on the ball in little league Why is that impossible for a child? He is facing lob pitches, I dont think its impossible for a kid to track the ball to his bat.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 08:54 AM) You know it's almost to the point where people take the White Sox winning for granted. This team is playing pretty well right now and should get even better if/once BA and Pods get cruising. I think Pods looks 10X better. Right now I think it is BA and Uribe who need to get going, particularly Uribe because Cintron keeps coming in and killing the ball.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 08:47 AM) There's no way that guy was serious. I certainly hope not, but he looked pissed. I know people like that though, so it wouldnt surprise me. Some people just dont have a sense of humor when they are the butt of a joke, even one as harmless as filling your office with balloons.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 08:40 AM) Twins 0-5 vs the central this year. They have the Royals and Tigers coming up, I think that might change.

I wish it wasnt so interesting to everyone that Bonds hit his first homerun of the year yesterday. Its the lead story on all of the major sports networks(in the MLB sections, of course).

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 10:53 PM) Every other word Garcia says is "you know". It's his transition from one period to another. It's quite comical to listen to if you focus on it. Ozzies transitions are pretty funny too "This kid here...(Dees Keed here)"

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 10:49 PM) I, ah, only asked because my friend, who is from Seattle and a Mariners fan, is always teasing me about how Freddy will "always be a Mariner to me." She told me that she'd curl up with him and make him soup and chat with him for awhile. I said, "He doesn't speak English!" and she said, "Really?" I told her that I know he doesn't speak it well (from what I've heard of him introducing himself in the Opening Ceremonies before each Sox game that he pitches, when they introduce the lineups and stuff) and then I said, "Actually, he might speak some, like Ozzie," and what better place to ask than here? Ummmmmmwhat? Was she hooking up with him?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 10:36 PM) So.....this guy lost his spot on the team after two walks.... he is awful and should be traded. Long live Javy Lopez! ps. This discussion sounds eerily similar to people banging on the drums to get Podsednik outta the lineup after a slow start.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 10:17 PM) I think we can give BLogan a little more time.... Blow-gun?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 10:17 PM) Does that, at least, mean he understands/speaks it reasonably well, all things considered or...? I have no idea how much he comprehends, I guess you would have to ask him. I have only caught a few interviews of his, and I was less than impressed afterwards. But the Sox arent paying him to speak, they are paying him to pitch. As long as he keeps the Sox in games, he can speak a dead language for all I care.

I think he sounds like the spanish version of Ali G when he talks. And I am completely serious too, he throws "Aiieet" in the middle of his sentences and pauses, its really strange. He never seems like he is paying attention when he is getting interviewed either.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Apr 22, 2006 -> 10:04 PM) great game. You better be shaving every day buddy. The Sox are undefeated since you sacrificed that peach fuzz
