Ah the good old days...

The "old" days they didn't throw the way they do now in between starts, and they didn't have the variety of off speed stuff that they do now. Pitchers are putting way more strain on their elbows and shoulders than they ever used to do.

just over 20K

Gee do you think this comes from the fact that he, Wood and Zambrano are all in the top 5 or so in pitches per start in the NL? http://espn.go.com/mlb/news/2003/0720/1583188.html

We have, Michigan City aka "The Region" basically.

Portland and Dallas could only offer the minimum. If he was going to take the $5 mil from the Bulls they could only offer $1.8 mil. They tried to convince him to come, but there is no point in making an offer if there is that Pippen was pretty sure about Chicago.

He could get it tommorrow with Terry Mullholand starting for the Tribe...

The overall level of play hasn't changed that much, IMO. Heck they just had first round draft picks in back to back years with Jeffries and Zack Randolph. Plus they have turned out guys like Bonzi Wells and others who have been contributing.

He has raised his average almost 35 points, since he bottomed out at .181

They are also a team in turmoil. I imagine that clubhouse just sucks right now.

We CAN, but can we sustain the recent offensive revival, while keeping our pitching?

This is what we should have been doing all year against f***ing Detroit.

Gary Glover comes on to pitch the 8th. Good, we need to get him and Sanders regular work, if they are going to be worth a damn down the stretch.

Crede is the only starter without a hit.

Loiaza through 7 innings. 93 pitches, 7k's, 1BB, 5 hits, and just the one ER, a 345 foot HR that just barely stayed fair by Munson.

Dude, if we lose this game...

???? San Antonio and Dallas wanted him. Portland also talked about bringing him back, but couldn't afford it.

How could you help but notice? They went from having 35-40 K at some state finals to not even filling the building at Conseco for the A/AA games and some years just making it for AAA/AAAA.

KONERKO DOES YARD WORK!!!! 8-1 Sox!!!

You are right, it isn't the same anymore. :fyou IHSAA and whiney small schools.

Halfway home White Sox lead the Tigers 7-1.

6--4--3 DP, a beaut.

Big West baseball is what its about. Fullerton and Long Beach State. Give it up! You might have an argument if you wanna bring up Big 12 baseball. I'm just saying its one of the best baseball conferences out their and it gets no credit. UC RIverside is building a pretty good program too. And Mark my words, UC Irvine will become a powerhouse baseball program. Either way Fullerton and Beach have two of the best programs in the country. Your right though, SEC is the best. I'd take the Big West over the Pac10 though. I won't argue with there. The Big West does play great baseball. There are several great conferences out west. The thing that makes the Big 12 and especially the SEC different is the support they get from the fans. Not all of the teams draw real well (there is Kentucky and Vandy), but despite those teams they average over 3,000 fans a game, including non-conference games. LSU averages a hearty 7,478 and Mississippi State averages 6,472. Baseball is huge and fans travel every weekend in RV's following the teams around. The SEC Baseball Tournament is held here in Birmingham at the Barons stadium and every year they draw 100,000-125,000 fans for the 5 day tournament. This year, they sold out an RV lot of 250 spaces over a month before the tournament. It's a pretty cool event. I have been to a few games. Try as they may, they will never be Indiana High School basketball

I'd say around 450 or so, it was a bomb. Good thing I have it on TiVo so I can watch over and over and over... I was thinking 450 too, but I was curious if they said it on the radio, because they did not say it on TV. I just emailed the booth, we will see if they ask my question or not.

Nice piece of hitting there. Hopefully his swing is coming back. If the whole middle of this line up is getting hot at the sametime, look out AL!
