Wow. Randy Johnson perfect through 4 and struck out 6 of the 12 hitters.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 06:45 PM) It's rare in my life that I root for the Yankees. I would rather have the Twins win. Keep us sharp if they can stay a bit closer and keep Oakland out of the playoffs.

Thank God Mark is pitching tonight. I'm not used to 3+ hour games. I was losing patience last night....even with all of our hitting.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 11:21 AM) Bring on Oakland. Bring on WHOEVER. Sorry folks, but just winning a playoff series might cut it for some of you, but it doesn't cut it with me. I want a WS appearance, at the very least. This team might be able to do it. It might not. But I wanna know. I wanna know if this team is for real. Bring on whoever is the toughest. Bring em all on. I don't want to pussyfoot around a bad matchup. If we can't beat Oakland, we don't deserve to go the WS. I'm right there with you.

Actually I would want to face Oakland and prove to everyone once and for all that we are the best....just like the Bosox finally got over the hump and beat NY last year.

This is one of those play-off type games that El Duque is supposed to step it for. Lets hope he doesn't let us down. I'll be there in attendance to let him hear it if he chokes.

QUOTE(ChiSoxCE2005 @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) If he can just get his hitting to about .275ish... That would be a miracle.

Boy, our offense can look really bad at times.

Don't worry. Freddy will settle down. He usually does.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 05:10 PM) Since you are trying to gauge interest, I would be interested, with the same restrictions everyone else seems to have. It depends on when. Yeah, what he said.

QUOTE(Winnin Ugly @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 12:40 PM) How perfect would it be if the Yankees&Redsox miss the playoffs It would be a beautiful day.

Good article. I read it today at the A's/Rangers game. I was also checking the web on my phone every few minutes until the Sox got the final out. Good game in Oakland. They are on fire. Hope we don't face them in the post season. I will be trying to go to the Giants/Braves game tommorow night. God I love traveling for work!

Oh well. Twins win and remain 11 behind the Sox.

Dodgers

QUOTE(tony72 @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 04:11 PM) I was at the clincher in 1993 ! and everyone was waving White Socks... I was there too. What great memories especially Bo's HR. I forgot who pitched that night. Was it Kirk McKaskill?

Where's that Diamondback prospect? I'll take him right now.

I don't see Mark losing 3 games in a row. No way. And it's offical the Twins are no longer the wild card leaders. Their ship is sinking fast.

Lowell may be part of a Burnett trade July 16 Baltimore Sun: "The Orioles remain in the running to acquire pitcher A.J. Burnett from the Florida Marlins, according to an industry source, with the package expanding to possibly include third baseman Mike Lowell. One source said the discussions have heated up, though some insiders believe the Chicago White Sox remain the favorites to land Burnett." Hmm....Lowell?? Crede is hurt.

Ozuna rox!!!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 08:36 PM) God our offense...:headshake Yeah. Only 7 runs. Sad. :banghead

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 08:34 PM) Lol. WTF was Rowand walking for like he hit a HR. He could have had a Trip. Maybe Ozzie will bench him?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 08:32 PM) J. Damon has the most quiet 27 game hit streak I can remember in a long time. The Red Sox lineup is scary.

This game is boring. I think I'll switch it over to the Bosox/Yanks pitcher's duel.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) I just can't stop laughing at that Avatar. Heh. It is pretty funny. Angels up 2-1 Paul Byrd throwing a 1 hitter

Farmer and his patriotic rants. Just talk about the game.
