QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 05:19 PM) Good call on that one. I didn't say he would, but wouldn't have been surprised if he did.

PK carrying that piano on his back. 1-0 Sox!!

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 05:03 PM) Grienke has been on his past few starts. Can't wait for all the panic buttons to be pushed if we struggle offensively! To be honest w/ you i wouldn't be surprised if we get SHO by Greinke, especially after our pathetic performance against Miller on saturday. Both guys are very similar, low 90's heaters, big 12-6 curveballs

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 05:29 AM) Burnett throwing 98 and having pitching mistakes is like Contreras throwing 98 or Jenks throwing 98 and having pitching mistakes. The ball just travels farther than if it was thrown 89. But Burnett can get his breaking ball over more consistently than those guys, which as you should know makes a big difference

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 12:54 AM) AJ has a dynamite arm, nobody and I mean nobody is going to argue that. There are a lot of pitchers who have the "potential" to be better then Mark but very few are better then him. Why? Because he knows what the hell he's doing out there and just flat out knows how to pitch. You say Burnett can get away with more mistakes then Mark well check out the amount of quality starts between the two just because a guy can do something doesn't necessarily always make it true. As of right now AJ isn't even in Mark's league. I never said Burnett was better than Buehrle right now, but in the playoffs if Burnett is on his game, NOBODY will touch him. The same can't necessarily be said about Buehrle, if he makes 1 or 2 mistakes, which every pitcher does, that could be the game. Burnett can get away with those mistakes. I'm not saying we should go w/ Burnett in game 1, but he is the kinda pitcher who can shut down ANYONE's Offense, and when your facing teams like Boston, the YAnkees or Anaheim that's important.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 12:30 AM) Why isn't Buehrle feared in the playoffs but Burnett is?? Buehrle>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Burnett. Buehrle throws 89, Burnett 98. If Buehrle is off his game he will give up runs. Burnett can get away with alot more mistakes, and still not give up any runs. I'm not saying Burnett is better than Buehrle right now, but he definitely can be. Burnett has probably THE best stuff in the league, and is entering his prime with a new elbow. I think this guy w/ the right coaching could be the most dominate pitcher in the league, and I'd love to see him do it w/ us. Buehrle/Garland/Garcia/Burnett in the playoffs = WS. IMO

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 09:06 PM) Marte+McArthy is almost too much Your kidding right?? Marte and McCarthy are both expendable. Cotts can get out lefties, and McCarthy, while impressive in spring training, looks like he is at least a year or 2 away from being a legit ML starter. Burnett on the other hand is a very solid ML pitcher right now, who has WAY better stuff than McCarthy, and has the ability to be a legit #1 starter, something we really need. Yes Buehrle is a nice #1, but not someone that scares you in the playoffs. Burnett can shut down anybody's offense, which is why KW is trying to acquire him.

HE GAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great game, nice to see them rebound. WOOHOO!!!

Hermie got away with 1 there..........PHEW!!! 1 more to go

Great

Great slider!!! K him!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:14 PM) Ok Marte can go for Burnett At this point Marte is a situational lefty, and he can't even do that!!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) DO NOT WALK HIM FOR MANNY!!!! UNf***INGBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DON"T WALK ORTIZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:08 PM) FL 3 games behind in loss column...they won't be sellers here? You are kidding right? They've been trying to trade him for the last 2 months.

2 more to go

Line for Burnett today.......7 ip, 5 h, 0 er, 1 bb, 4 K's . I'll take it

another run or 2 here would be nice

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) f***ing A, Politte. Now will Hermanson pitch the 9th? No matter who's out there, they're gonna have to see at least Ortiz. Hermansen has looked like s*** of late against lefties. So Marte should get Damon and/or Ortiz if necessary

Nice work Cliff!! bottom 8, 6-3 ChiSox

Where was that pitch?????
