QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 03:15 PM) Ha, I don't blame you one bit. I don't think anybody in their right mind would blame you. This kind of makes me giddy. It almost seems like a desperation move... Its a lottery ticket. If it hits, you got a winner. If not, you throw it away and start over again.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) The point about him giving up outs to Pods is a very good one. Either way, he looks way better than willie harris ever did... I was just noticing a downward trend. You are looking too much at the numbers and not enough at the games in front of you. I would be willing to bet that there is a direct inverse correlation between Pods OBP% and Tadahito's BA. The more often that Pods is on base, the more often that Tads gives up an AB to move him over. Ever since Pods average has climbed closer and closer to .300 it seems like Tads is giving up at least an AB a game to move him over. If their were justice in MLB these would be deemed SACs just like a bunt would, as it has the same affect, but it is not, and counts as an out, just like when Willie failed to get Pods over. The difference being that Tads moved him over, and gave the middle of the order two chances to gets Pods in from 3rd. For Iguchi the least important stat out of everyone you can give me is his batting average, and it is just for the reason that I just outlined.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 11:46 PM) Getting drunk and cursing about the White Sox. So basically a game thread with music

Thanks for the nice post Jim. The biggest compliment you can ever give to an opposing fan who posts on their rivals board is that you never knew they were a fan of that team, and I can't say how many times I have seen that exact comment made about you. You hold yourself with a ton of class, and are always welcome around these parts.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 02:06 PM) I think people will be gobbling up a lot of tickets...2.5 would be awesome and I think possible! Like I said in another thread averaging 2.4 million would be near impossible. 2.4 mil people would be 30k a night. In order to that we would near to average 33,5k to balance out the 26.5k we have averaged at the halfway mark. It is possible, but difficult when you factor in the most we can get into a game now is about 39k. I think about 2.25 million is where we will end up for the season.

57-29, 9 GA of Minnesota, best record in baseball.

$2.25 again. It went from 2.25 on Thursday to 2.49 on Friday right back to 2.25 on Sunday. And honestly I don't know how gas isn't closer to $3.00 a gallon with the way that crude has gone up in the last month.

It was awesome to see Sox fans come together and work so hard to win that.

Excellent post Kid. I think people who have ripped on the WOTW ending aren't appreciative of the history that it came out of.

Bandwagon.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 11:27 AM) We need to get that average up to 28,000-30,000 by the end of the year 28K is a pretty likely number... 30k would be difficult as we would have to average about 34k in the second half to do it.

Another note from the weekend, the Sox drew over 7800 people as walk ups for Sunday's game alone.

I dispise cab drivers and just about every ignorant driving method they use. They were all complaining they didn't make enough and needed a fare hike, what they needed to do was yank about 5000 cabbie medalions and make the rest of them actually follow the rules of the road!

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) Stupidity is the inability to learn. Ignorance simply means that you simply don't know something. Its possible to be both stupid AND ignorant but you can be ignorant without being stupid. Ignorance is willful lack of knowledge, that has always bugged me waaaaaaaaaaay more than people who just can't learn.

My favorite part Who is Greg Maddux?

Just to update... This was from Saturday's Trib The attendance average is up to 26,505 after the Sox drew 105k to the park for the weekend series with the A's.

More ammo for the anti-China crowd... http://finance.myway.com/jsp/nw/nwdt_rt.js...8&date=20050711

Fat and slow people who have to get up before everyone to get off of the trains first, only have practically have a heartattack while going up the stairs and slow everyone else down. What is the difference if you get off the train first or not, it is going to take you a half hour to get up the stairs anyway, let people who actually can walk the stairs get off ahead of you.

Luckily Dennis lost some intensity in the last few hours before making landfall. This area was just battered last year by Ivan, and hadn't really recovered from that. It will be interesting for us to see if we get some of the rain and storms from the remnants of Dennis. It looks like it might happen, as supposedly there isn't much of a jetstream to push this to the east.

QUOTE(Yossarian @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 08:45 AM) The same thing a lot of fans criticized Lee for. No I'm not criticizing the trade in any way, just making an observation. There is no doubt that Pods is a terrible LFer who is blessed with terrific speed to make up for some of his mistakes. People have ripped Everett's ability to play D, but I think he has more ability to make plays out there than Pods does.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 08:32 AM) We'd have Pablo... Not if he is playing 3rd for Crede...
