Ha, this is going to be funny. I can post 10 stupid facebook statuses an hour from people I know. Here's one: Person: "Had so much fun at the Cubs game." And if you play Mafia Wars, f***ing friend me...

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 05:43 PM) I hope the set works out well for you dude. I am a golfer but my skill level changes from year to year for some reason. Some summers I think I finally figured it out to a certain extent and other summers like this one I feel I would spend my money better just going to Haunted Trails and playing putt-putt. Ha, I know how you feel. I just got into golf within the past year thanks to my roommate. He's got a nice set of Cobra woods and irons and a Ping putter that I pretty much learned from so now I've taken the next step up. There something about golf that hooks me. It's one of the only games where you can relax and still be really competitive. I've seen my game improve a ton just since this Spring. My friend and I bought a net that we hit into and it really helps your game a ton. It's helps so much with consistency of your swing and getting good contact. I can't wait to put this set to the test and see what happens. I'm probably going to play a few rounds and go back to get the shafts extended an inch, mainly the irons and putter.

So I FINALLY got a set of clubs today. Went to Golf Galaxy in Orland Park. I'm really happy with my selections. They had some great sales. Taylormade Driver, 3 Wood and Hybrid. Nike iron set and an Odyssey putter. Put me back quite a bit, but I'm set for a while when it comes to clubs. Any other golfers out there at SoxTalk?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 10:57 PM) p.s. Joe Crede doesn't suck. His sub .300 OBP and .750 OPS would suggest otherwise.

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 10:07 PM) I would trade Gavin for Halladay in a heartbeat. I think we have a tendency to overvalue our own players. Two aces on the staff and you give yourself a legitimate WS contender for the next three years-- and that's worth it. Here's the flaw in your argument...Buehrle's contract runs out in 2012 and he seems to be strongly considering retirement and Halladay would be ours for 1 season and 2 months. No thanks on Gavin for Halladay.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 09:37 PM) I officially have another gray hair thanks to this game. The last 2 games have probably taken at least 8-10 months off of my life expectancy.

Very rarely do I let out boisterous sounds of relief after a victory, tonight I did. I threw my hands up and finally took a breath. Jesus H. Christ.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 09:34 PM) I'd love to know what your blood pressure was after Morales' hit. It was non-existant.

OMFG! A MurderDome victory! Take the series tomorrow!

omfgwow

Don't forget about the runners Bobby.

Just win the f***ing game.

SIT THE f*** DOWN MEATHEAD!

Hawk said "hammered" in his best Batman voice.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 08:45 PM) Wow, you see a Crede opposite field homer about as frequently as you'll see Haley's Comet "Hey...you guys know when the next Haley's Comet is?"

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 08:40 PM) Tigers lose 5-4! Money.

Beckham > You.

My favorite Jim Thome quote ever came yesterday: "Jim Thome runs like he's wearing storm trooper boots."

Brad Radke? I didn't know a .500 record and a 4.22 career ERA was that good.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 09:51 PM) I would REALLY prefer to close this thread and move on. Thoughts? Anyone....

I would REALLY prefer to close this thread and move on. Thoughts?

First, f*** this stadium. Second, f*** the Twins. Third, f*** this umpire. Ridiculous.

Yes.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) cuz our pen was abused yesterday and jenks should still be able to get outs even if its a non save situation Except you, I, Ozzie, and everyone else in the world know that Jenks is not good in non-save situations.
