Statistics cannot do justice for the contribution that Tadahito Iguchi has made to this team this year. I wish someone had a statistic for how many times that Tads has moved Pods to 3rd with one or no outs in an inning this year. He ALWAYS seems to get the job done. He has been incredible. I also wonder how many ABs he has given up by moving Pods along with a groundball to the rightside. I would be willing to bet he would still be at .300 if you gave him back all of those chances.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 09:54 AM) http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/attendance We're averaging 25,922 right now. I only see that going up. They are already 1500 per game ahead of last years full season numbers, and that is with a ton of big attendance games still to be played. This team could come in at 28-29K per game if things keep up.

One more thought on oil prices, independant of China and everyone else... What do the last two major price spikes in the price of oil have in common? (early 90's and now)

From NBC5Chicago http://www.nbc5.com/news/4682492/detail.ht...994&dppid=65172

Both Japan and China have huge major faults in their economic system. Japan would still be a huge world economic power, if their banking system weren't utter trash. They refuse to write off bad debts that have no hope of being collected, so those numbers sit on their books perpetually and that money can't used as new loans to stimulate spending. They also have an incredibly low spending rate, which means almost all of their growth comes from investment, which can't happen because the banking system is handicapped. China's big downfall is going to be their own rules. They refuse foreign ownership, which severely limits their capital pool for investment growth. They also still are subject to the whims of the communtist party, and all of the ineffeciencies that go with that. Their sheer numbers are something to be afraid of though, IF they can raise thier standard of living nationwide. Right now such a chunk of China is poor peasants that their growth is limited to the part of the population that is upwardly moble and has access to money.

QUOTE(IndplsSoxFan @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) Does anyone know tonight's lineup? ...or where I can find it posted. They won't be up until about an hour before the first pitch.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 03:22 AM) SS or Dbaho can one of you guys change benchwarmer to : "President of The Big Hurt Fan Club" or something to that nature . I am not clever enough to come up with something smaller. Thanks in advance. You're all set

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 10:03 AM) Yep, not to mention Cubs fans, Twins fans, Tigers fans, and Indians fans. SFF There are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more fans that hate the Yankees, vs hate the Sox. Pods might just win this thing.

A sore back makes sense for Crede, his swing has looked awkward for a week or so now.

Is Gload throwing the ball yet? That is the important thing.

Sorry in advance for the cut and paste, but I wanted to make sure people who did not read the whole long Vote for Pods thread could see this...

Good for Mark. What an awesome month

But I thought no one went to Sox games???

QUOTE(winodj @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 09:04 AM) I was gonna slip em a 10 spot to make Michigan City the host town for the Summer Olympics. I figure they could use the pothole by first base at Ames Field for the torch fire. Think of the possibilities... -100 meter dash down Michigan Blvd. -200 meter butterfly in Lake Michigan during undertows. -Steeple chase down Mt Baldy -Cycle races down the country roads Why isn't Oberlie all over this???

QUOTE(winodj @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 08:41 AM) Paris tried to do it on the cheap. The World Cup stadium built a few years ago was going to be the Olympic Stadium too.... Flashy new stadiums seem to be the thing for the IOC I think. Or cash works

Pinella is doing everything he can to get fired. Too bad Tampa's management is too cheap for that.

QUOTE(Randar68 @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) Jenks has 2 pitches better than anything Baj throws and has a much higher potential to help both now and in the future. Are the Sox interested in winning or just "promote this guy because he's next in line and is a great guy"???? People need to take a step back and look at the big picture for 2 seconds. Jenks has the potential to be a K-Rod type impact player now. Baj has the chance to be a middle releiver now. I like Baj, but the love for him around here because he is a great guy goes beyond the realm of reason. People need to separate being a great guy from being "the right move for the major league club"... If the arguement is potential over ability, why is Kevin Walker up here over Arnie Munoz?

Guys this thread is awesome. It is so cool to see all Sox fans pull together in one pursuit instead of bickering with each other over meaningless details. Its really heartwarming, and makes me remember what this site is all about... Sox fans coming together to enjoy the White Sox. Now let's go get Scotty on this team!!!! *REMEMBER* -Vote the real way, the cheat methods DO NOT WORK -You DO NOT need to change email addresses, you are allowed unlimited votes from any email addy, and this is per White Sox VP Reifert.

DJs home run call is soooooo bad, its almost cute.

Happy Birthday Wite-boy
