Ron Gardenhire begs for Santana to get more respect, because an umpire missed a few pitches: So if a manager disagrees with a umpires strikezone, then the pitcher is being disrespected by the umpire? Give me a break Ron

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) Why all the talk about another closer? What is wrong with Hermanson? If anything we need another middle reliever. Well, if you bring in a great closer, then you acquire a great middle reliever by default with Hermanson sliding to the middle reliever role, right?

Wasnt it reported around here that Guardado is pitching with a torn labrum or severely messed up shoulder?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) Not with his contract situation. It's way too attractive to Houston for them to even consider dealing him. He is making the minimum now, and is eligible for arbitration after this year, right? If the Astros are rebuilding from within, then they probably would look to nab some prospects for someone that they are paying hardly anything, thats just the way I see it. If they can nab some good prospects for Lidge, it seems to be a good deal for them.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 12:59 PM) As long as we're dreaming...Brad Lidge? I dont think that is much of a dream, I think it falls into the realm of possibility the more that Houston loses.

I went to a game on my birthday in 1996 against the Brewers. I think Mike Fetters came in and gave up back to back to back homeruns to Thomas, Baines, and Ventura, a single to Lyle Mouton, and another homerun to Chad Kreuter. Birthday presents dont come wrapped any better than that.

QUOTE(Adam G @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 12:04 PM) It's good natured. He gives me s*** about the Sox when they're not doing well. His son plays with my dog. If its good natured and no malice, then by all means, let him have it. I read the original post and thought that taunting was the idea.

Why the JoeBo hate? I always had a sort of respect for him, he always got by on decent but not great stuff. Its not my style to rip on a journeyman pitcher who was made out to be something that he isnt by the Cub fan-dumb.

Sounds like a Cubs fan who gave up on Corey Patterson. It also sounds like some of virtual GMs I keep running across lately on this site.....

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 09:34 AM) He makes a Gazillion dollars. to be exact, eleventy billion dollars.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 18, 2005 -> 08:54 PM) I thought we were going to extras when AJ popped up into the dugout. Choi had a good shot at that one. AJ threw the bat down because he thought he was out.

Aj kept looking and looking for that pitch, and Brazoban finally grooved him one. Great inning. Im still in disbelief at how that turned out, I thought we were cooked when Konerko flew out. Kudos to Willie ONCE AGAIN for putting himself in scoring position with two outs in the bottom of the ninth.

Hell Mutha f***in Yeah!!!!!!

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) Enlightened by kyyle: LMFAO!!!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 01:09 PM) Game thread is below, bud I told you the boredom is killing me!

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 12:20 PM) Who's the first baseman on your All-City team? 8.8% Derrek Lee, Cubs (126 responses) 91.2% Paul Konerko, White Sox (1311 responses) Domination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Derrek Lee is being Konerkowned.

Ok, this really doesnt have alot to do with the game thread, but my boredom at work is killing me. I was just checking the power rankings on SI.com, and I cannot help but notice that Dan George bears a uncanny resemblance to Paul McCartney. My random thought of the day. On to the game, what kind of an out pitch does Houlton have? I havent heard much about him, other than his last start was pretty good(against the twins?). hopefully the AL Central can continue the domination of the dodgers via the White Sox. I dont expect anything less than a series win.

And while I am in on the conversation, I think that Marissa Miller from the last two SI swimsuit editions is the sexiest woman on the planet. I heard her on an interview with Steve Czaban last year, and she said she has like 3 sisters and they all look alike. Hotness x 4 = hard to beat.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 12:04 PM) Wow, what a difference from your 1 and 1a! From seriously curv-a-licious to stick woman. I didnt notice anything but ample cleavage when she was rollergirl.

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) Padilla hates the Sox, read his crap. He is a bozo. Maddux, next time he pitches watch how often he lifts his cap and wipes his brow. honestly I cannot fault a pitcher for wiping his brow. It is so hot on the field in their uniforms, and they are constantly throwing, alot of sweat builds up on your head. If this is somehow cheating, then they all cheat.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) I hope Mark grills his ass back. Didn't Garland call him recently out on comments he made during ST? Yep, the thread takes yet another turn. STOP CHANGING THE SUBJECT I CANT HANDLE IT ANYMORE! Was it finally Padilla that was identified as the reporter that Garland was talking about? I didnt hear that.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 11:13 AM) Well kind of, I was just mentioning that cause supposidely(sp?) it happened before this interview. didnt you know it is illegal to change the subject? Werent we talking about Major League Movie quotes? I mean Mark Buehrle? I mean, this is serious business, the whole changing of the subject thing. Nowhere on this site do you ever observe anyone changing the subject ever. Dont do it again.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) Wow, that guy is nuts to say Patterson is better than Rowand right now. The only thing Patterson is better at currently is hitting homeruns. He has fewer RBIs, lower batting average, and a thousand more strikeouts. Nice work, tribune. Who and what are you talking about? The All-City team?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) On Silvy and Carmen Bruce Levine is on and said that before the interview Padilla came up to Buehrle and said "I'm rooting for you guys to lose this weekend cause I'm a Dodgers fan." If that's true that's one of the most unprofessional things I've ever heard. Padilla isnt the greatest beat reporter in the world, it wouldnt surprise me if he said something like that

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 10:27 AM) I have one thing to say about Omar Vizquel: O-ver-ra-ted. After last nights performance against the Twins, I will reserve any judgement on Omar Vizquel. He was ball-to-the-wall awesome at the plate last night.
