QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 07:57 PM) The Rockies DID win 21 of 22 - they won 14 of 15 to take the Wild Card - then won their first 7 playoff games before being swept by PEDSox. Yeah but the question proposed was if there was another team that came back from such a large deficit in the first half of the season and get into first place by the all star break.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 04:37 PM) The 2007 Rockies won 14 of their final 15 games and made the playoffs. I think they made it as a wild card though. *cough*

How about replacing "Green Balloons" with "Chopper 2 Hopper".

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 04:26 PM) I think it was the Astros or the Rockies who had some sort of ridiculous run like ours a few years ago. I'm pretty sure they came back from their deficits late in the season. And didn't even wind up in 1st.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 11:35 AM) Ozzie got it right. http://twitter.com/MDGonzales/status/18282486622 After the break: 1. Danks 2. Floyd 3. Buehrle 4. Garcia 5. Hudson Have the Twins announced their rotation after the break?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 03:46 PM) I am damn sure that we are better than the Padres and Braves (I really don't have to explain why on this one). Oh yeah. Forgot about the Braves series.

Will there be a PTC thread for the All Star Game?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 03:27 PM) White Sox are ranked 7th in MLB power rankings by ESPN (we were 16th last week). Looks like we're starting to get noticed a little bit. Although if this was done by almost any other team, they'd be first or second. http://espn.go.com/mlb/powerrankings Sure we're red hot but are we really better than any of the 6 above us in that list? I would have said Texas but with Lee they are pretty dangerous.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) Man I wish Andruw Jones was still mashing like he was in the beginning of the year. Think about that outfield defense if he stayed in RF with TCQ DHing.. Last 7 days: .333/.444/.619/1.063

QUOTE (Hawk09 @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 03:01 PM) Gonna be a 3 way dogfight to the end, I suspect. Healthiest team wins. He have the best pitching staff of the 3 so I'll say we win out. Sure Peavy going down hurts but our top 4 starters beat out theirs. And our bullpen is lights out.

I'd still like to see a Stone Pony/DJ pairing some day.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 12:37 PM) How did he die? Did the lymphoma come back?

TitoMB will continue to show up in game threads only when the Sox give up a lead.

I'm not the biggest fan of Hawk but I would miss him if he were replaced. And my wife enjoys watching the games with me because she likes Hawk.

Once Teahen comes back you have to get rid of Kotsay. Lillibridge is showing he can be the valuable pinch hitter that we need.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 10:04 AM) Jake has said that he will be at every home game in his uniform cheering the guys on and I believe he said he wants to travel with the guys too. Saw him interviewed a few days ago and that was what he was saying. Well if that's the case start the wooing!

But they do things the right way according to Thome.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 09:59 AM) Aren't Peavy & Oswalt best friends or very good friends? I thought I read that somewhere. But won't it be hard for Jake to convince him to come here if Jake most likely won't even be around much as he'll be rehabbing?

Are there ever trades made during the ASB?
