QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 17, 2006 -> 04:37 PM) Just curious, when was the last time a defending WS champ didn't make the post season the following year? Marlins of '03?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 17, 2006 -> 04:17 PM) How so? Starting pitching for s***, shoddy defense, no speed and a team that tries to outslug you.

*silently looks down at food while picking at it, pretending this argument isn't really happening*

Seeing all these great trade ideas I thought I'd come up with a reasonable trade myself. Widger for Dontrelle and Cabrera.

Heh. Nice sig Kalapse.

The scary thing about Zambrano is that you never know when his arm will fall off. I think Dusty leaves him out there for an average of 164 pitches per game.

BUMP Some of these predictions are funny to read 3 months later.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 17, 2006 -> 09:34 AM) "give Singleton time" WHY? So he can improve to be a below average broadcaster instead of a horrible one? The guy obviously has no clue regarding what the composition of a broadcast should be, he just says stuff when he's called on to do so. On his very best day, the dude is barely, BARELY passable. On his average day, he is an embarrassment to the organization, the fans and this city. That's a little over the top IMO. He has shown signs of improvement and I think he has a pleasant voice, an important factor when listening to a radio crew.

A few weeks back someone compared this team with last year's Red Sox. Looks like they were dead on.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 17, 2006 -> 08:20 AM) "i know he played very good during the playoffs and contributed to the sox winning it all but ive never liked the guy (as a player)" Classic. Heh. Who was that?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 11:51 PM) UP TO THE SECOND SP TRUST LEVELS: 1.) Jose Contreras - I have much faith in the Titan, I truely expect him to kickass every time out. - - 2.) Jon Garland - The tallest of the midgets at this point in time, he's been pitching considerably better than the other 3. - 3.) Mark Buehrle - 22 ER (24 R) over his last 14.1 IP, that's 3 straight horrid starts. I hate him right now. 4.) Javier Vazquez - I have much faith in Javy, faith that 4 out of his 6 IP in each start will be stellar but he'll end up allowing 3 runs per in the other 2 because an opposing hitter looked at him the wrong way. - - - 5.) Freddy Maddux - No real reason for him to be pitching for this team in August. Ahh...remember the days when we used to see polls about how many 20 game winners we would have? *sigh*

Boxscore shows that Frank was pinch hit for in the 4th inning in a scoreless game (at the time). Did Frank hurt himself again?

Tigers with tying run at the plate.

Disgusting. Wild card lead is now 3.

8 LOB for PK.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 03:05 PM) Pretty sure you don't bunt with your 4 hitter in the top of the 9th against the best closer in baseball? 4, maybe 5. That was dripping with sarcasm.

QUOTE(G&T @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) NO DOUPLE PLAYS, PAULIE. And here comes Ozuna for no real reason. A double would tie the game.

Lets see how Paulie bunts.

Yay for solo shots.

Well at least we are keeping the bullpen arms fresh for tomorrow's team laser tag outing.

Detroit's pitching has looked quite mediocre vs the Royals.

If you would have told me that our 1 and 2 hitters reached base 7 times through 7 innings I would think we'd have 6 or 7 runs by now.

LOB: Thome 6 Konerko 7 Dye 5
