QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 19, 2011 -> 09:17 AM) Saw the game on WGN. PK, Alexei and Rios looked great. That almost catch by Lillibridge was another big Lill highlight and I don't care if he caught it or not. That kid gives his all when out there. He saved the game most likely. Danks is pitching great and recovered nicely from that hard hit ball off his noggin. What a scary moment What pitcher takes a line drive off his head and stays in the game? John Danks! That was crazy how he hardly seemed affected at all.

R.I.P. Larry "Wild Man" Fischer Wild Man Fischer was a cultish singer-songwriter whose unconventional music and actions could be attributed to mental illness. He’s been called severely paranoid schizophrenic, manic depressive, and an acid casualty. Fischer was kicked out of high school for singing in class, and at 16 was institutionalized after attacking his mother with a knife. Upon his release the following year, he landed on the streets of Los Angeles where he continued to sing his outlandish songs to pedestrians at just 10 cents each. Another venue he enjoyed was Dodger Stadium where he serenaded fans while selling peanuts. He also entered area talent shows, and it was at one of these that he caught the attention of Solomon Burke who took him on tour with him. By the late ’60s, Fischer was hanging out along West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip where he opened for the likes of Iron Butterfly and Bo Diddley. He was soon spotted by Frank Zappa who recorded his first album, "An Evening With Wild Man Fischer," in 1968. He went on to perform with Art and Artie Barnes and recorded additional albums on his own through the ’80s. His 1975 Go To Rhino Records was the first album ever released by the esteemed Rhino label. Throughout his career, Fischer worked with such luminaries as Linda Ronstadt, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Tom Waits, and oddly enough, Rosemary Clooney, with whom he dueted on 1986′s “It’s A Hard Business.” In recent years he has performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, while making other random appearances. He is also the subject of a recent documentary, Derailroaded: Inside The Mind Of Wild Man Fischer. Wild Man Fischer was 66 when he passed away on June 15, 2011. Cause of death was not immediately released, but he was reportedly suffering from heart issues.

GO SOX!!!

Good win. When Danks got out of the runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out situation in the 7th that was huge. Showed some balls! I think what I liked best was AJ not batting 5th. Hooray!!!!

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 02:32 PM) I actually like this lineup. Morel makes contact so that should be good if Lilli can get on in front of him. Also putting Lexi in an RBI slot should help. And no Pierre is a nice change as well. I like this lineup too. Let's hope they do well today....they should.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 11:47 AM) Thanks for Boggs' minor league stats. I stand corrected on his age -- 24, not 26. And only two yrs in AAA. It does seem like they kept in low minors a bit long, likely due to lack of power. I don't remember who he replaced at third for Boston. I hope we don't overlook Kuhn for same reason. Boggs certainly worked hard at his craft. When criticized for lack of speed, he hired his own speed coach to help his baserunning. I loved watching him hit. He got a lot of walks, too. He won a bunch of consecutive batting championships.. On the coincidence side, did you notice Boggs spent time at both Bristol and Winston-Salem?? Did Boggs replace Carney Lansford?

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 08:52 AM) I'd like to see Christian Marrero at AAA soon. Would like to see what else he could provide. James Gallagher........I would like to see him in the bigs and see if he can be a fourth outfielder/bench player for the Sox. Yay! Glad to see someone mention Gallagher. I'd love to see him come up even if it's only as a Sept. callup. He's been in our system for awhile and while he's never had outstanding numbers, he's been very steady and serviceable. He hit pretty well this past spring training, yeah, I know...who cares about spring training? I'm just saying, he can maybe hit a little.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 08:11 AM) As a fellow 2005 joiner...well done. Now just multiply that by what, 20? Yeah. By the time I get to 66,000 posts I oughta be about 110 yrs old. Think by then the Cubs will have won a world series? Nah.
