QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 08:58 AM) Uh, this is going to sound really stupid, but why are we looking for another starter for that game? edit: Oh ok I see now. It is a doubleheader so they want to retain the same number of off days for the other starters. I guess it really was a stupid question "There are no stupid questions, just stupid people."

I have about a dozen or so White Sox hats, and if we lose, I won't wear the same hat the next day.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 07:34 AM) But the $$ goes to charity so that's a good thing. It's not so bad.. more of a joke I think. Have fun with it guys. Exactly. If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? Have some fun with it.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 08:20 AM) If you add Contreras' sunday start against the Yankees, this is the line for the 3 starters 24 IP, 3 ER, 18 H, 2 BB, 14 K Thats some great numbers. Averaging 8 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, .66 BB, and 4 Ks. And a One Hitter with a loss. :banghead Thanks for going back and adding those in. The other nice thing is that the pen has been on virtual vacation after being worked like dogs for a while. That can only help as well.

QUOTE(heirdog @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 03:02 AM) Roster spot = Young or Owens who are not on the 40 man. .340 hitter with speed or 30-30 man (granted its all at Bham) but would be nice in September. Young is going to the AZ fall league, so cross him off of the list as a call up for right now.

Just want to get some luv out to the pitchers for the last two starts. Check out this stat line 16 IP, 2 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 9 K Severe ownage alert!!! We all raved about Garcia, but how about Mark Buehrle being the student of the game. He sits there and watches Johan Santana absolutely punish hitters with the best change in the game, and something suddenly clicks... He goes back and watches tape of Johan pitching and realizes that he has been easing up on his change up and tipping it off to hitters. Its not a deadarm, its mechanics. Mark makes sure to finish his change like a fastball, and nobody could get a solid read on him all night. He gives up one run in 8 innings to LeCroy, but couples that with 4 double plays turned, and no walks to go with his 6 strikeouts. Look out MLB, if Garcia and Buehrle pitch like this in October, you are all in some trouble.

QUOTE(BMAC3520 @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 01:15 AM) Wait... is that me on the right or on the left? I'm offended if it's me getting my ass kicked. Unfortunately... the rest of the pic is pretty accurate. Good to see again Brandon, too bad I was in bed Anyways, go get em Tuesday and stick around for a while, will ya? That and tell Baj he is getting screwed!!!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 07:43 AM) Wow! I could be sharing a room with Steff. Depends on if you pony up for the Ultra Deluxe Soxtalk Fantasy package, or just the Ultra...

I put this in the game thread after the game.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) Barnaby's is east of downtown as well as over in Mishawaka on Grape Road near the mall. Bruno's is south of downtown and other places throughout SB/Mish. Rocco's is up by ND. Pollito's is pretty darn good as well. They make a NY style, a Chicago style and a BrickOven style. Michigan City is not that redeeming either, I've been there a few times. No it isn't redeeming, but at least the property is cheap

You guys should spend a summer on a trading floor. This stuff happens all of the time when people with money get bored. I remember seeing someone try to eat 20 Big Macs in an hour, 60 recies cups in an hour, this same milk stunt, hold a CBOE rules and regs book over their head for 45 minutes, and many many people getting tails.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 02:00 PM) I have a question though, doesnt insurance cover when a player goes on the DL for a long time. I have no idea of if it does or doesnt, just asking the question. Some players contracts are not insurable. For others the cost of the insurance isn't worth it.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) 888-HotFlaChixx $2.00 a minute? Hmmmph no wonder you don't have any friends

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) Yeah, I'm joking. Actually, I have my iSight camera set up on my desk and everything. See, sad me because nobody calls... vvv vvv vvv vvv What's your number?

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) this is my first thoughts after hearing about this today. how fast is he going to claim liberal bias in the media taking his comments out of context Pretty darned fast. http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/24/robertson.chavez/index.html

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) Where has this board gone when Joe Borchard goes from whipping boy to savior? I believe a smilie would best answer that....

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) HOW THICK are your glasses? Cool stuff. We soooo need a nerd's catch all thread. Tex get to work!

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) Which was sooooo not deserved. Someone help.. didn't Garland start a few times for the Cubs at the major level..? He never got above A ball with the Cubs.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 11:17 AM) I'm gonna drop my 2 cents in here. This Timo blowing Ozzie s*** is something I'd expect out of some 13 year old kids. It's offensive. It's insulting to the intelligence of Soxtalk posters and it's been going on for entirely too long. Why the hell don't some of you people grow up or, at the very least, challenge yourself to see if you can possibly come up with something new and halfway intelligent. And, for the record, I am not the only one who feels this way about pre-teen caliber s*** you are slinging around here. QUOTE(Yossarian @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) I made a similar post a while back and it got axed. I was almost afraid to continue posting thinking maybe I'd get banned. I agree 100%. Its has been miserable here lately. This specific board has looked worse than the perseption of the Sox offense is.

This ought to be fun...

QUOTE(mreye @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) Hog manure. Always reminds me of riding my bike to the outskirts of town past the hog farm. That explains why I won't sit next to you on the train... :puke

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 09:57 AM) would that be the grass, the hotdogs, the person sitting next to you, the cigarette smoke, ?? I don't that I can identify one thing. There is some unique mix of smells in the summer at a ballpark, that just screams perfect day to me.

The ballpark. Still is my favorite smell today.

Are you all kidding me? You there are more "in's" and "out's" on here than in a Hokey-Pokey Dance marathon.
