QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 21, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) Can Timo hit that much better than him? I hate Timo, but what are your choices at that point. Jose looked horrible swinging up there. Pinch hitting for him was the right move. I think they were saving Dye and Iguchi for double switches, and Widger as an emergency thing, so that leaves us with Timo.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 21, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) Outstanding effort by Contreras. AJ behind the plate again, no walks. There is no way you can convince me that his resurgence is not directly due to the Sox signing one AJ Pierzynski.

QUOTE(Reddy @ May 21, 2005 -> 03:37 PM) outta curiosity why'd they take out contreras at 78 pitches? He would have had to hit leading off the 8th, and at the time we were trailing 1-0 and needed base runners. It was the right move, no doubt.

Since when did Hermanson try to make things interesting? Oh well, we got the W, that's all that matters :cheers

Series Win. That's all that matters.

I want to take the place of honor for this game thread and welcome Soxtalk's own Brandon McCarthy to the big leagues with the Chicago White Sox, for his major league debut. GO GET 'EM BIG GUY, we're all so proud of you!!!!

3 outs to a series win Dustin... Come on dude.

Damn that would have been nice to have the hit after the WP, but the extra run will be nice for the 9th inning. Sox lead 5-3

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 21, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) Guillen should have Willie drop a bunt next inning. He might get on base, and Zambo will be pissed off enough to throw at someone. That's a damn good idea. Zambrano is pitching an incredible game, nothing is straight or over the plate. Try to get into his head. I liked what AJ did when he got his, because he was trying to do exactly that.

Damn that was a close call. Nice to get it.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 21, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) Jiminez is a dog. Please don't insult dogs that way.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 21, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) New question, anyone know how to get around a national blackout, LOL. Live in Chicago?

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 21, 2005 -> 06:15 AM) About seventeen years ago I created a self propelled lawn mower operator. It took about 14 years of changing diapers, middle of the night feedings, and other events too numerous to list, but it finally works, intermittently, when it is out of it major source of sustenance ($$) or needs an alternative, internal combustion form of transportation, the family car. No, I don't cut my own grass. Grass can live down there? Its not just tumbleweeds? And yes I mow my own lawn.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 20, 2005 -> 07:39 PM) They put it in their "What's the Score" forum for some reason. That's where they b**** about Mariotti and hate on the Cubs. That is funny. They all dismissed the idea until they got our confirmation. Then all of the people who were saying "no way" either disappeared or really softened up their tune.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ May 20, 2005 -> 07:03 PM) HA, and WSI just madet heir 1st post about it now. Soxtalk is the ownage. We are soooo 75 posts ahead of them... But I guess that is what happens when the biggest pitching prospect in baseball is a member at your site.

Soxtalk pwns. We were all over that s***. f*** Bruce Levine, you want breaking Sox news, you point your browser right here

Wow, this is finally happening. Let's go get em Brandon .

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 20, 2005 -> 06:07 PM) Is it true that BMac is being held out of his start tonight? There are rumors that he's not starting tonight, and pitching Sunday instead of El Duque. If that is the case, there is no doubt he is making his major league debut on Sunday, and El Duque is hitting El disabled list.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ May 20, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) Hurray! Going to a minor league game today. I am not kidding--this is the best day ever. Ever. Is Ross Gload on a rehab... and lonely?

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 20, 2005 -> 05:50 PM) This thread is not as gay as you think it is... And normally I wouldn't be defending this, but Bruce Levine just said there are rumors floating around that McCarthy may be up for Sunday's game.... TIFWIW To start? Is Hernandez hurt? That would explain the last outing.

Singleton I feel bad for as he is a genuinely nice guy. Jimenez? Well f*** him. He gets what he deserves.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 20, 2005 -> 04:07 PM) I'm pretty sure that Zambrano is going to peg someone tomorrow, but that might work in our favor with Contreras on the mound. The Count is a big SOB and he can throw a baseball pretty hard. If one of our guys gets hit, the Cubs might be afraid of some retaliation. Timid Cubs are a good thing. It'll be Rowand. Watch.

That was awesome, even when the Cubs were better than the Sox, we never let them out chant us. Everytime they would start something, we would drown them out.
