QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 03:47 PM) It is officially June and we have this s*** weather. I am destined for California and I am getting closer by the day to taking that plunge. 75 degrees gets SO boring, though...

And of course the weather cools off for the start of the homestand.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 12:39 PM) Pods7, Missle 6, JD9, Thome, PK3, AJ2, Betemit5, Wise8 and NIx 4. Colon pitching has ozzie made it official that Wise has his job back?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 12:19 PM) Adrian Gonzalez's swing is right up at the top. And don't forget Bonds. Why is it that it's always LH hitters who sport that fluid motion? I don't recall seeing that from the right side.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 03:46 PM) It's not just a baseball rule, guys lose their spots all the time in the NFL if they aren't that good and the guy that replaces them is clearly better. Biggest example, probably Tom Brady over Drew Bledsoe (and at that point Bledsoe was still pretty damn good). at the time i thought New England was making a huge mistake.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 03:15 PM) the old baseball idea of "can't lose your job to injury" is very stupid. if Ozzie just puts Wise back into the starting lineup day in and day out i'll be surprised and pissed. It is a dumb rule. And I don't know how old of an idea it is either. Just ask Wally Pipp.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 01:12 PM) Yep, BA being platooned it's only going to get worse when Q returns. Pods will then be taking his playing time. And Wise...I have no idea what's going to happen with him. But if BA gets sent to Charlotte, I will tune in for the soxtalk nuclear meltdown.

Orlando Cabrera makes his return tonight. I for one hope he gets a nice round of applause his first AB. All the clubhouse stuff aside, he helped the Sox win a division last year and always, always played very hard. But I don't think it's going to go that way - maybe a fifty-fifty thing.

us against the world!

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ May 31, 2009 -> 10:36 PM) The Royals always have had a thing for the White Sox since those moron jumped on the field and attacked Gamboa. They bring it up in any instance. They claim our fans are white trash, however, one of my pasttimes at Royals games was playing "Count the Mullets". Rock on KC tiger fans have sort of jumped on that as well, which is pretty frickin hilarious when you consider the dump that is the city of detroit.

One week from now: how close will the Sox be going into a 5 game series with the division leading tigers?

BBTN is going to focus on Greinke's bad outing, not the suddenly resurgent white sox O.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 31, 2009 -> 02:16 PM) Yeah I realized that after I posted it. sorry about that.
