Get back to me if and when Anderson ever hits 35 HRs or drives in 95 runs in a season.....hell get back to me when he drives in 40

What if that? What if this? It didn't happen. And you can't compare him to Swisher, because Swisher has done something in this league

Dude, it's Budweiser

Hey, we got some suckers to take Freddy Garcia off our hands, now didn't we? And the word value was never used. I just said something. A bag of balls, a rosin bag, whatever.

Yeah, everytime the Cubs come up to bat. All their fans behind them blow real hard and push the ball over the fences. It's unfair I know, but what can we do about it?

The difference is, I have nothing invested in him. I'm not hanging on to the tiny shread of hope that this kid may, MAY, just one day get it. I have the easy job. I can just wash my hands of him because I have nothing to lose. That's the difference, smart guy!

I never gloated to my Cub friends about 2005. I just kept all the enjoyment to myself, and killed them with kindness. You could tell they were jealous anyway.

That's the whole thing. I don't think anyone here hate the "Cubs". It's the fans that is fueling the hatred. And them getting a ring would only make them more arrogant and cocky, and make us hate them even more.

He's never going to amount to anything, they should cut ties now while they could still get something for him. Sure he's great in the field, I'll give him that, but I would almost rather let them DH for him and give our pitchers a chance to hit.

Yeah, that'll happen. Switch the WHOLE rotation just to beat the Cubs.

It's blatantly obvious. Every time they start to have a good year, these morons get excited and chant the same thing. "This is the year", only to watch October skip right past them again and again

I like that thought! Now all we need is the law of averages to catch up with the Flubs, so I start to hear that wonderful chant again.... OH WELL, WE'LL GET EM NEXT YEAR

$1000 you want some?

They wet the bed, and I mean a big one. One you just cant throw a towel over either.

HERE HERE!

Well I'm pretty sure he wasn't when Alexei couldn't leave the country, and they still elected to bring up Wise instead.

OUCH

That was weird

I'd say the fact that they brought up Wise instead of Owens is pretty much an indictment on what they think of him. I hope KW has something up his sleeve cause the future isn't looking very bright right now.

I'll admit, they STILL aren't going to win the World Series. I'll put money on that.

Don't get me wrong, I too was upset with the call by the ump at 3B, I didn't feel AJ went around. But then I went back and looked at the pitch again and thought to myself, "why the hell is he even taking that pitch with 2 strikes?" He has to offer at it. I remember back in pee-wee league coaches saying a swinging strike out is far better than leaving the bat on your shoulder.

None of this matters!! All everyone is doing is making nitpicky excuses as to why the Sox lost this game. None of these plays caused them to lose the game. Their complete lack of fundamentals caused them to lose the game. Inability to advance runners BA not stretching the 2B into a 3B when he should have Thome failing to drive in an important run Crede GIDP with the leadoff man on multiple runners left on base these are LEGITIMATE reasons for losing the game, not a missed call down the line, or a phantom strike out. You want to talk about logic where's the logic in not owning up to the fact that the Sox plain threw up all over themselves in this game, like we've seen them do in plenty games this year.

Doesn't matter if he went or not the home plate ump blew the initial call. That was a good strike and AJ should have been rung up to begin with.

There is no excuse for this loss. The Flubs didn't win this game, we handed it to them. Silver platter and all.

Then I'd like to formally request that Thome play 1B for the rest of the series!!
