No, that was in response to the Cubs screwing their fans by using brokers to sell tickets and get huge profits off of it, duh There's the revenge for that stupid video "north side vs south side". That white sox newsletter just got sent to a bunch of cub fans

I like how with 2 on and no out, he didnt have Marte or Takatsu warming up yet, only Politte. Your closer needs to start tossing in that situation. Bad, bad planning on Ozzie's part. Terrible.

Doubtful at best.

With all due respect, i hope he gets the living crap beat out of him

The super bowls, and the hull "no goal" come to mind immediately.

They both contributed. But once the Bartman thing was over, you have to move on and forget about it like it never happened. That's when Gonzalez costed em.

"But guys, the only thing that matters is the save/save opp stat!!!!!" Signed, Idiots who actually think that.

Man that is just foul, that had to be terrible to clean up.

Wow, i really LMAO at that fault, sympton, action thing texsox, nice

So i can then assume Ronnie Woo Woo is alright in your book? It got EXTREMELY annoying after the first game i endured listening to him

He's annoying as hell while watching the game on TV

And a possible injury concern...

80+ temperatures and a half-price Tuesday? If that doesn't spell fights, i don't know what does. Hopefully the Cubs fans stay at Wrigley, if they realize their team even has a game.

Until he comes up with something as good as the "line shot" commercials (or whatever they were called) featuring Thomas, Ventura, Karchner, etc, i don't want him anywhere near the Sox marketing department....

I think everyone is going a bit far with this. Both are fine with me. You know why? If you have a 2 run lead going into the 8th inning, you need someone to pitch the 8th and someone to pitch the 9th. Now, as long as Koch isn't pitching one of those innings, i'm fine with it. I don't care if it goes Takatsu/Marte or Marte/Takatsu in the 8th/9th. Both innings are important; you could do it based on matchups perhaps. I hate to say the word "committee", but you get the idea. The main problem has been solved (or so i hope) - Koch doesn't pitch the 8th or 9th in a close game.

Cubs games have a much higher percentage of clueless yuppies than Sox games...i realize there are plenty of knowledgeable cubs fans. The fair weather type fans are so high in number on the North side that it overshadows the good Cubs fans.

Spending a game in the bleachers at wrigley is a must for any Sox fan. It provides endless amounts of ammunition and ridiculous stories to tell Cubs fans. It's an experience that will further your Cub fan hate by leaps and bounds. I've been to probly 3-4 games in the bleachers over the past few years, and every time i "learn" something new about Cubs fans. You don' know how stupid they are until you've spent a game or two in the bleachers.

I believe this is also Madson's first start of the year, so it's a huge adjustment for him. Hope that bodes well for our lineup

There is a risk that MLB batters will eventually catch onto Takatsu's motion and pitches, yes, so i could go either way with this move. As long as Koch is gone i'm fine. My one worry is, who gets lefties out in the 7th, 8th innings? I'm not too confident in Cotts right now late in ball games...the Sox only real good lefty is now used in the 9th

Quite simply because i think Marte is a better pitcher. I have more confidence in him getting the job done, especially in pressure situations. I don't think Jackson is closer material anymore.

I've played the other 2, but what's moose? And how does this Sox drinking game work? Here's the Dick Vitale game, for those interested: http://www.geocities.com/macjunk9/vitale.html

That's just plain hilarious

I wouldn't take Jackson over Marte at this point

First off, i don't think 95% of questions are used to create controversy This issue is bigger than Hawkins now, we are just talking about players in general. Yes, i'm not gonna lose sleep if LaTroy doesn't talk. We're just talking about a general issue here. Pretend it's Mark Buerhle not talking to the media then... I don't think bringing up the money issue is a can of worms, i just think it's pretty obvious why athletes are paid so much money.
