Balance

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 14, 2006 -> 11:20 AM) My co worker was at yesterday's game and said Anderson threw a ball into the CF stands and that a Tiger's fan caught it and threw it back at BA, barely missing him. I guess a few Sox fans pounded this guy until security arrived and kicked him out. Anyone see this? I saw it. The yogurt-for-brains Tigers fan was in section 101 (I think) to the right and down from where I was sitting. Brian was coming back out to CF after coming through with his RBI single in the bottom of the eighth. The crowd in right center was giving him quite an ovation. After warm-ups, Brian threw the ball into the stands where the cheering was loudest. Unfortunately, a Tiger fan caught the ball. He threw it right back onto the field, missing Brian by a few feet. He turned around and was showing off his Tigers shirt like Dee Brown in the NCAAs. The whole section turned on the guy. There was no violence that I could see, however. They just shouted the guy down. Security arrived about 5 minutes later and escorted the yogurt-for-brains from the park. Most of right center field was chanting “nah-nah, hey hey, goodbye!” after him.

Verlander and Count tonight. What are the pitching matchups for Saturday and Sunday?

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 11:49 AM) this joke was funny back when the yankees called wang up....ya know...like a year and a half ago Hey, some jokes have staying power....

Ok, someone has to say it- Anyone else think the Yankees' rotation sounds like something out of a porn flick? We have faced their Wang and triumphed. We must now defeat their Johnson!

Dammit! Steve9347 beat me to my joke!

Not the best way to start this crucial stretch.

Anybody know what Crede's status is? I was a bit worried when he came out of yesterday's game.

Regardless of the pitching troubles Detroit may be having (and I'm not convinced that it's that serious), they aren't slowing down one bit.

Official record for that 15-game stretch? 3-12.

I feel much the same way as you do, Ginger. This hurts a lot, and I feel stupid for investing this much of myself into a group of strangers playing a game. Of course, I felt this way last August....

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 03:46 PM) no, put your head back in the oven. We'll call when it's over.

Is it over yet? Can I open my eyes?

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 03:05 PM) I honestly don't think it'll matter. I think he has ruined his ability to freak out like that and have it have an effect on the team. He freaks out too much...It's lost it's luster. This team is going to have to get out of this funk on their own. Maybe some of our clubhouse leaders will call a players' only meeting and see what they, themselves, can do to break out of this death spiral. Paulie? Jermaine? AJ?

The Sox seem to be lifelessly circling the drain....

Just when you think it can't get any worse, today's game happens.

Could you please post the score? And be more specific as to what just happened? I don't have the game available right now.

Only slipping to #4 is pretty mild, if you ask me.

QUOTE(POPPY_HIDALGO @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 01:08 PM) Santana is due for a bad outing. It's a good thing we're getting him tonight. Look for the Sox to jump all over him early and often. This one should be a laugher and hopefully by the end of the night when Soriano officially becomes a member of the White Sox there will be alot less whiners around here. Sox - 16 (7 HR's) Twins - 0 Contrerras complete game shut out.

I'm in agreement. I thought I'd be able to be happy with last year's result, but I can't be happy with how the team has been playing for about a month now. It's too depressing.

We're in deep yogurt. We need something good to happen, and fast.

QUOTE(stretchstretch @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 07:59 PM) July 2006, August 2005 What he said!

That's a move that seems to make too much sense not to try.

Our offense is this sad and tired-
