QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 03:25 PM) 2 weeks is my guess, or 14 games. And sure, what do you have in mind? lets keep it simple with some type of sig bet, though I'd hate to see you lose yours... its pretty much one of my favorites on the board ever since it debuted last year.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 03:20 PM) Im just glad they started Wedman (sp?) Rock Raines made a sweet cameo in that flick. care to wager on your sig, since youre so sure he wont last a week in CF?

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 12:10 PM) I bet Swisher gives up #30. I'll take that bet... I don't think he does.

Ian Kinsler?? yes please.

My ticket rep confirmed they will be in fact broadcating the game on the scoreboard tonight.

Will be there tonight... though don't know how early I'll get down there. What time is this supossed to last until? It would also be nice of them to throw the game on from Detroit on the jumbotron Mitsubishi

QUOTE (robin23 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 12:17 PM) have you watched contreras pitch the last 5 outings? Were you here when he won 16 straight starts?? How about striking out 10 against the Angels? And this kid is better with 1 inning?? Please. 2 trends that will never die... Ralph Lauren Polo clothing and ripping on Contreras on Soxtalk.

QUOTE (robin23 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 01:10 PM) Overall the kid is already better than Contreras we would be down 4-0 if Jose was pitching.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 11:37 AM) ozzie needs to pull his head out of his ass and give wise a start - sit konerko I think the ice is thinning as every game goes by, the BOO birds are starting to come out at the Cell replacing the ever-popular "Paulie" chant. I'm not ready to give up on him quite yet, but if its like this a month from now, then its past concerned. I want to say he's ready to bust out in a big way, and then he goes into his old GIDP self like last night.

Just win. PLEASE.

Very surpised by all the hate Maggie Gylenhall is getting here for her performance of Rachel Dawes. Acting wise, I thought she ran circles around Katie Holmes in "Begins" and as long as Maggie doesn't have the crooked awful looking smile that Holmes loves to flaunt, I don't see how you could think of this as a downgrade. I thouhgt she did a very admirable job, and judging by most of the reviews, I'd say most tend to agree. I havent seen more Maggie Gylenhall bashing anywhere more but here??

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 09:13 AM) She lost two different trophies, one to Candace Parker, one to the softball girls, and she was pissed both times. It was hilarious. That was good tv, no doubt. She seemed bitter the second they announced it wasn't her that won. The moment only got better when Candace Parker showed her ego-maniac side in accepting the "Best Female Athlete" "This is the 5th time I've been to the ESPY's but the first time I actually won one of these things.... " Candace, were happy for ya!!!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 21, 2008 -> 11:27 AM) Remember last year when people said the Brewers wouldn't trade Weeks straight up for Buehrle. Well, I bet you could offer two solid prospects for Weeks right now. In fact, If I were the Sox, I'd try to buy low on Weeks and put him in as one of the many guys battling it out for the 2nd base position next year (With Ramirez moving to SS). Big fan of this idea, and I'm thinking we could even over-value some of our relief because they need it so bad. This would make a lot of sense for us to do.

80's night!!! anybody know if we are breaking out our '83 unis at someppoint this weekend?

QUOTE (Socal Cid @ Jul 17, 2008 -> 01:15 PM) Sunday night. Let me guess.... Red Sox team of the year?

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 02:49 PM) You guys should check out the post in my baseball history thread. It's a pretty cool video of Mantle and Mays. I remember ESPN used to play these in syndication after the morning repeated Sportscenter's... of course this was well before Classic. Awesome shows... thanks for posting. There is no way in hell this would ever fly in today's game.

Here are the odds... some decent darkhorses in the field. Braun looks intriguing to me for some reason... Utley 9-2 Uggla 8-1 Longaria 10-1 Sizemore 11-2 Hamilton 5-2 Morneau 9-2 Berkman 4-1 Braun 7-1

QUOTE (TCQ @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 10:58 AM) Goose Gossage over Jenks, and i find it hard to believe jermaine dye would ever start on any teams all time roster. unless of course Jermaine Dye was the World Series MVP for the team in which he was named to their "all-time roster" I'd put Dye on there far ahead of Magglio.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 02:36 PM) Boone Logan hates the press? No, just the fans...

The polls have now officially closed. We'd better seal this deal after the reputation we gave oursleves. Dye deserves it more this year than Pods and A.J. put together in our past winnings. I just hope that if he does get in, clowndick Francona will actually play him. I still think he deserves the nod over J.D. Drew.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 03:55 PM) it's now crazy slow... but got in about 1000. Nice work! For some reason, it is still letting me vote right now?

Half hour left kids!!! Lets get our MVP in!!!

trick question... the team that scares me the most is the white sox. We have a weird kooky bunch this year, and where chemistry is not a problem right now, it is most important this team stays loose and continues to have fun with playing every day. This team's alter-ego will beat itself, and weve seen it first hand on many occasions early on in the season. I cannot stress enough how important it is for this team to keep their confidence and swagger right where it is.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 10:21 AM) On top of all this, did Contreras even really speak out to the media? Did he get himself quoted?? Not from what I can tell. Cowley, pretty much a sniveling pud from what he writes in his Twitters, ran this thing for NO APPARENT REASON. Newsflash, guy gets fired, his coworkers feel bad. It's happening in 250 offices downtown right now, and it should be no shock and no front page news when it happens in the White Sox office. Couldn't agree more, but it's a bigger story here because it is "popular" to bash Contreras on Soxtalk with every smalll opportunity. He is the new Scott Podsednik of Soxtalk. He can do NO right. I'm surprised someone hasn't mentioned that we shouldn't have DFA'd him instead.
