Well that was quick DJ. It is amazing how much better he is in a blow out versus a close game.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) Too bad the Reds didn't want to take his contract. Homer Bailey would have been great with the Sox. Or Tampa Bay when we offered him for Edwin Jackson...

Thank God for JD this year. The rest of the team can start pounding the ball anyday now and help him out, I wouldn't be upset with that.

QUOTE (DanksFan @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 02:27 PM) i wonder how demoralizing it is to go to any of these games except game 1 agaoinst Oakland and game 2 against Cleveland... people aren't gonna keep showin up for this s***... Dewayne Wise.. Give Me a f***ing Break. He is not a ML player. The thing is, we would be fine if the hitters with big names were hitting when it mattered, no matter what DW was doing.

Well half way home 3-1 Tigers. We have got to get the bats going!

Let's hope that DJ doesn't do his usual disappearing act when it comes to inherited runners. We still have a chance, but a basehit pretty much closes that book.

Great innning by Clayton! We need a few more of those!

32 pitch first inning for Galaraga, and Nate Robinson was up and throwing. That is a nice start, even if we only got one run.

I really hope he asks for it and sticks to his guns, because that might be the straw that breaks this stupid draft system's back finally. I would LOVE to see the draft done the way the NBA does it with very strict and tight price ranges based on where a player is picked.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 12:56 PM) According to Ozzie at his press conference yesterday, Colon isn't leaving the rotation. The DL isn't leaving the rotation technically, because starters don't lose jobs because of injury in Ozzie's world.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) I think they are waiting til game 2 to announce it, thats why Richard is pitching game 1, so they can have the extra arm in the bullpen, then make a move in between games If Richard doesn't pitch well, someone like Whisler or Gobble is going to get a bunch of innings and be the sacrificial lamb who goes 4-5 innings and gets sent to Charlotte.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 12:40 PM) But has there been in talk of an injury to Bart? Not yet, but I am suspciious on my own. He is still throwing 86-88 and he is throwing NOTHING off speed at all. Once in while he mixed in an overhand curve, but that is about it. For a guy that used to throw 96+, it makes me wonder if that shoulder is still hurting him.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 11:01 AM) I dont even consider Carlos a member of the 2009 White Sox at this point. Seems like he's back to his oft-injured ways of pre-2008... An interesting thought. For as long as we have been without Carlos, it will be almost like trading for a superstar if he can come back healthy.

QUOTE (everafan @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 11:00 AM) Anyone know who has been reassigned to make room for Contreras? After watching his last few starts, I wonder if there is going to be a DL trip for Colon? He has been by far the worst starter lately, and the Sox need the guys in the pen right now.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 10:00 AM) Give a bunch of stump speeches and interviews? Sure. Run a few commericals, take a couple of callers, and that stuff turns into a four hour radio show.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:44 AM) TV, maybe, if he wanted to give up the Senate. And he would be orders of magnitude less successful than Rush if he did, but I don't see it because he's a career politician (he'd made it a goal to be president when he was in the IL senate 10 years ago). My point being that in order to keep a radio audience captive, you have to be good at talking constantly and coherently. That's Rush's unique skill set. Maybe is just me, but didn't Obama do exactly that for about two years on the campaign trail?

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:44 AM) What about for tonights weather? Which even the afternoon showers will effect my evening cause the game start time will be pushed up. I dont think I am going to go, I need some rest anyways. The married German chicks eating sausages(Brats,Brauts,Brawts,Brots,Bruats) will have to wait. They said a 60% chance of storms tonight as well. Two rain outs would be a big time mess.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:47 AM) Seriously. It's all happening exactly on cue. I GOT YOU BABE!!!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:34 AM) Clockwork I feel like I am living Groundhogs Day.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:36 AM) What's the latest update? I am at least hoping to get to watch on TV since it appears WGN is carrying game one There is a storm to the South and West which is producing golf ball sized hail. They are talking about early afternoon storms with damaging potential up here.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 08:58 AM) Really now? Do you see Obama hosting a liberal talk radio show and making all the millions Limbaugh has doing the same thing, and being as mainstream? I don't. Hosting a radio show and keeping a transient audience's attention is not at all the same thing as public speaking. If he had lost the election, I could have totally seen him getting into the media if he wanted to. He would be perfect for it.

It looks like it could be an interesting day weather wise. I wonder if they will be able to get these in?

QUOTE (Texsox @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 07:49 AM) It may be to a local audience, but it is followed internationally. The President cannot make a remark that is not immediately translated into 100 languages and studied around the world. How many people are ready to pounce? About half as many people as would interpret what he said to be some profound greatness?

So we are a day from the big draft... Who will the Sox put on the board with the 23rd pick in the 2009 draft? Let's see your predicitons!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 12:44 AM) It's scary how poorly we match up with Galarraga, Bonderman, Verlander, and Jackson. All four guys have nasty slider/curves against a team with a bunch of pull-happy righties. We're going to need just a monster week from Thome and AJP. If memory serves me right, we have a decent to good history against three of those four guys.
