Can anyone find me the picture of Big Hurt lifting Ventura over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes after Ventura hit a walk-off grannie at home in the early to mid 90s? I think they were playing Seattle...ring a bell?

Pods and AJ are hitting over .300. Buehrle threw a perfect game. Danks and Floyd don't suck. We have Peavy. We will do this.

White Sox will finish 14-6 Tigers will finish 9-13 Twins lose enough to disappear... We had a setback tonight, but will take the next to from LA. Meanwhile, the Tigers and Twins continue to keep us in it. Yes. O is for Optimism. O is for Ozzie.

We will win this game. Who is with me?

DET and MIN lose. Sox need to come back and win this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All we gotta do is when series. Ozzie's all about winning series. 14-7 the rest of the way = winning series

Anaheim is the last tough team we play. We have 3 @ LAA, 3 @ SEA and then the entire awful AL Central the rest of the year. Si se puede.

Positive thinking. Freddy is back. Pods is back. It's like 2005. Peavy will provide the spark. Yes We Can.

QUOTE (north side chi sox fan @ Sep 9, 2009 -> 09:27 PM) Detriot 9-15 = .500 rest of way for them + 2 x getting swept by Sox Whitesox 14-7 = sweep Detriot X 2 + 8-7 rest of way It's doable. We won the World Series in 2005. We have Ozzie. It's doable.

Think about this. Detroit's lost two in a row (to Kansas City). The Sox win in the bottom of the 13th tonight. Momentum... If Detroit goes 9-15 the rest of the year and we win each of our last seven series -- meaning we go at least 14-7, we both finish 6 over. Then, we play them in a one-game playoff (with which we have experience) and rip it up. Believe.

All, I believe this is my first Soxtalk post since the '05 season. It's good to be back. Does anyone have a photo of what this Dewayne Wise "The Catch" graphic looks like? I'm intrigued and can't find one on the net.

After seeing Big Hurt getting doused with bubbly post-ALDS clinch, I got to thinking...if the A's go all the way, which is not unrealistic, I think Hurt should get another standing O when he comes back to Sox Park. Not only should he get a standing O, but he should be introduced as two-time World Champion FRAAAAAAANK THOMAS. Not only would it give Hurt his due, but I think Sox fans could use the PR. We don't have the best reputation in the class department. Essentially, my biggest fear is that Hurt stays with the A's for a few more years, wins a championship (or two...who knows?...not impossible...) and pulls a Carlton Fisk on us by going to the Hall as an Athletic. Does anyone think this could ever happen? Again, probably not totally likely but some food for thought. Go A's. Go Tigers. Go Dodgers.

...we won the World Series last year. That was awesome. If you're pissed about tonight's game against KC, watch 1) Konerko slam 2) Pod's walk-off 3) Uribe crowd catch and 4) final out. It makes me so happy.

looks like the tigers are gonna win too

Today's Sox game made me angrier than any Sox game ever has in my life except every other Sox game BEFORE WE RAISED THE WORLD SERIES BANNER. Hello McFly.

QUOTE(MinnesotaSoxFan @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 03:03 PM) I forgot how to do that, but thanks for the reminder! I just voted about 25 times. I really think we gotta chance at this. I'm thinking Verlander might be the guy to beat though. I think that we definitely have the largest fan base compared to CLE, BAL, and MIN. DET fans are coming outta the woodworks lately. I know that walking around Chicago...and especially at that Cubs-Tigers series, there were a ton of DET fans. Even in NY this weekend, I'm seein' lots of DET hats...but also lots of ChiSox hats too. I say Verlander is the guy to beat. Liriano deserves it but doesn't have the support. We can do this. I can't wait to see America cringe when A.J. wins!

I mean, sometimes I really don't know whose side Hawk is on. AJ gets drilled in the same spot not once but twice and all Hawk can do is sit back and talk about how much he luuuuvs e-mail from Aurora (Aurora...YES.) I was at least hoping that he would reference how one of his good ol' boys from the golden age of baseball would have retaliated to similar beanings. No mention of Burt Campaewriosnfnick. No mention of "Yaz." Worst of all, he was absolutely silent when it came to criticizing the home plate umpire for warning both benches. Maybe it's time to get a play-by-play guy who at least is on our side.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 10, 2006 -> 08:59 PM) I dont get it. Why take out Cotts? I don't think it's such a bad move. It's just Ozzie being Ozzie. Let's wait 'n see.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 10, 2006 -> 08:57 PM) His arm's probably not ready for it. Put him on a pitch count...Better than Haeger throwing his junk in a dome.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 10, 2006 -> 08:55 PM) What to do you think....does he get the start on Monday? They better start B-Mac Monday...That gives him the proper rest too,

Just joined in...who's up for us next inning? The box score seems to indicate 8-9-1, correct?

I don't know if you guys mentioned this one yet, but on the broadcast last night Hawk and DJ read an e-mail (I LUUUUV e-mail) from some guy from Aurora (Aurora, YES!) who had a great nickname for Thome: Jim "Sock it" Thome
