Dye 0 for 10 since we put up the voting widget on this site.

I wasn't following the game thread but did anyone else laugh when Hawk mentioned that minor league ball girl scaled the wall and catch a foul ball? Hilarious. Too bad DJ called him out on it and let him know it was a hoax. He would have been telling that story for years.

QUOTE (Benchwarmerjim @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 04:07 PM) that was ugly Well at least you know the Twins will get a lot of help at the trade deadline.....oh wait, they never do. Sorry. I had to.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 01:22 PM) Was that a rumor or did Linebrink really say "I stink" after the game? If he did, it shows some balls and it might be worth giving him the ball one more time. I personally prefer results from my closer over attitude.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 01:30 PM) I wouldn't mind seeing Dotel as the Closer, but I would just go with the hot hand. And that isn't Linebrink right now.

Nice to see the Twins on their way to getting swept. *knock on wood*

I'm 100% with you on this one GH. It can be maddening at times trying to figure out wtf is going on when you tune in mid-game.

Russian mail order bride.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 12:17 AM) I don't think I am, but I really think Harden is the "throw-in," if you will, in this deal. Gaudin will stay healthy and become a middle of the rotation starter for the Cubs while Harden is a huge wildcard in the entire deal; if he's healthy for 80 more innings this season, it's a steal for the Cubs, but if he breaks down and makes 3 more starts all season - and with the Cubs history with injury prone starters, I think that's the more likely route - it's a great deal for Oakland. I'm sure Beane figures Harden is due for one or two more starts and then he's DL bound again and only god knows when he'll start again, and going to the Cubs will only hurt him further. I'd say go ahead and pencil Harden in as the next talented Cubs pitcher to have his career as a starter ruined due to injury. You don't think you're the throw-in?

Why didn't you guys list my name, Runelvys?

All I can say is that the only Sox player I went out of my way to see every at bat was Frank Thomas. Granted that was in his heyday.

What an awesome night. Watching the game on crappy non-HD DirecTv, Jose sucks, and the Tigers and Twins will most likely win.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 07:19 PM) when its all said and done the extension to jose may go down as KWs worst move as a GM, its certainly up there at least ryan dempster just walked 4 guys to force in a run Didn't KW trade for Todd Ritchie?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) Contreras looks like horses*** now....I can't believe some people actually said he's be the one they want starting in the playoffs. ^^^^

I don't think it's possible to find a more perfect example of irony.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 08:57 AM) The 2005 team was one of the best in baseball history. 2008, no matter what we do from here, won't be that. Even if we play .750 the rest of the way?

I wouldn't even take Burnett for Contreras straight up.

Only time will tell.
