Keep that pitch count climbing for Verlander. Loving this.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 12:42 PM) Awful touchy about D Wise... are you related to him?? He's my batting instructor.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 12:40 PM) Blind squirrel meet nut..... My bad. I forgot you have years of experience as a major league manager.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 12:38 PM) Wow I get wanting to reward Wise for a nice catch but that is just stupid to let one of your worst hitters lead off.... What's that?

QUOTE (Jimmywins1 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 12:34 PM) Jose's got some nasty stuff today, that last fastball was at 96. Gameday has more accurate numbers on the radar gun. Has him up to 93.

QUOTE (NIUSox @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 12:35 PM) I forgot Opening Day 2006 with the raising of the Banner, just enjoying the game with my dad, long rain delay, and a Thome blast in the rain. Yeah that was a good one.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 11:32 AM) Wise should get the day off for that glorious catch. I'm starting to think that you and some others were wishing he botched that catch just so you can rip him even more and I say "I told you he sucks".

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 11:26 AM) Kind of a crazy trade idea - but would you of traded Buerhle and Dye for Wallace and Rasmus? I know it doesnt make sense now that we are in contention, but would you have done it? /thread

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 11:08 AM) I think its pretty conclusive that W's claim of never having left the country prior to his presidency was accurate.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 10:59 AM) Is DeRosa still injured? Nope

I think it was highly likely that a poor white girl from Kansas flew all the way to Kenya to give birth to a child and then immediately fly back afterward, have a fake birth certificate created and then wait over 40 years for this child to win the Presidential election so that he can bring down the USA.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 10:39 AM) Just split the doubleheader today and split the 4 game series. If we get out of the war zone that is Detroit tied for first place and with all of our players in tact, I will be happy. I'd rather be up heading into Minnesota.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 10:30 AM) and the first game back (Monday nighter, I think) after the Sox had that great road trip in 2000. At the time, it was the most electric game I'd ever been to (obviously surpassed by some of the amazing stuff the last 5-6 years). yeah that's the same one I referenced. Kip Wells pitched that night if I recall correctly. Only bad thing was the wave. EDIT: Here's the game we're referring to. Attendance of 43K plus. Frank with a 1.026 OPS on Milkman with a monster game.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 10:18 AM) It all started with just one van... That was just a goofy response. No need for everyone to keep harping on how much he sucks and won't be playing much longer. I'm just waiting for someone to recommend that Mark gets him a nice health insurance plan because they hope he gets a career ending injury soon.

This thread is taking a classy turn.

Happy Birthday and please change your avatar so I could stop dry heaving when you post.

I always go to the MLB Network if I want to see highlights and game statuses around the league.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 09:35 AM) A conversion fan? Whoops...van

A 70s conversion van and a bag of candy.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:20 AM) GO SOX! There's no better team in baseball to follow. I was thinking, what better time than today to make a huge deal for a front line pitcher? They'd surely waive a NTC to come to this team after seeing us jump into first place.

wise8, alexei6, jd9, thome dh, pk3, aj2, q7, getz4, beckham5. Contreras pitching.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 08:36 AM) IIRC, #4 ended on a walk off bunt by Pablo Ozuna. Good times. Indeed. And I also misstated that game 4 of the WS was my only post season game. I did attend the unmemorable game 1 of the ALCS in '93.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 12:49 AM) Twins lose in 10. Truly a perfect day in baseball.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 10:27 PM) He's a bad baseball player. I don't hate him, but I don't want to see him in a White Sox uni for much longer. Also, no one wants to seem him fail, but people have come to expect him to fail, because guess what, he's a bad baseball player. I'm glad he made that catch today, and I give him a big thumbs up. But, other than that, he was just the right player at the right time. Yes they do. A ton of people were saying just that when BA was sent down. Some were even rooting for injury.
