QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 01:00 AM) They allowed 19 sacks in 2007. Good for 3rd in the NFL. They also had a pretty potent running game during the season. I would say that is pretty good and the line had just a little to do with that. Umm, the Packers had one of the worst rushing attacks in the NFL up until about week 12.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 12:08 AM) 4 each? Total.

Over/Under on the number of Contreras/Konerko threads before the deadline is 4...

What good is he for a late August return? Do we trust him to make 4 or 5 September starts? I'll pass on Freddy G.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 10:38 PM) I'm not going to lie, Wrigley could be a pretty cool place for an all star game (the HR derby could be cool, ie, would we see a rooftop shot). There would only be 2 reasons to watch a HR Derby at Wrigley. Seeing a possibly roof shot across the street, and seeing someone hit the CF scoreboard, or possibly over it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 10:18 PM) But don't you remember the derby where Sosa went off or say McGwire (98 was an amazing season). I'd honestly say that was the single greatest season of baseball in my memor (obviously 05 was special cause of the Sox winning it all, but in terms of pure baseball, 98 was as special as it got). I remember exactly where I was when the record was broken and the fact that I was with my dad and grandpa (my grandpa, who was a Cards fan his whole life and a HUGE Big Mac fan and has since passed away) makes it even more special to me. In fact, I think more than anythin else, what makes me love baseball is that its one of the things that has been the glue of my relationship with my old man. I remember going to game after game with him and taking road trip after road trip with him as a kid to see new stadiums and various things (going to Cooperstown was one of the most amazing things I'll ever remember). Man I love baseball (from all the joys of playing it, to all the great memories I've had watching it). The most memorable HR derby performances in recent memory for me was Big Mac in Boston, Sosa in Atlanta/Milwaukee, and the entire HR Derby at the Cell. I think Hamilton's will be one I don't forget though.

QUOTE (The Bones @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 10:11 PM) Haha...they already said this is one of the things that people will remember about Yankee Stadium after it's torn down. Bulls***. People forget about the HR Derby around oh...Friday when actual baseball games start up again. To be honest, I completely forgot Abreu's 24 HR round when they brought it up again.

Hamilton showing love for JC. I like it. I also like how they didn't even interview he winner. Probably the biggest disappointment in a HR Derby.

Effin' a. Who wanted to see Morneau win? No one!

Morneau with 5. I'd think Hamilton's got it.

Braun made it close. Hamilton vs Morneau in the finals. Will Hamilton hit in the 2nd round?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 09:05 PM) So it is grand total of HRs, not round by round elimination due to round totals? Top 2 1st and 2nd round totals combined make the finals. So rounds 1 and 2 are running totals, and then in the finals they start from 0.

Let's do this Braun.

Hamilton has 27 through the 1st round. The other 7 guys have like 35.

I don't see anyone ever topping this performance.

Hamilton ties the single round record at 24. Holy s***.

Oh. My. God.

Ok, Reilly needs to shut the f*** up.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 08:29 PM) Josh Hamilton is launching some baseballs right now. As of right now, Hamilton in NYY > Sosa in ATL.

He comes back after going like 0-5 and Braun makes it to the 2nd round. Mah boy.

Braun's pitcher blows.

Waldo Cooney's, any of your South Siders ever had it? It's f***ing incredibly delicious. Their thin crust is so good.

Waldo Cooney's thin crust pizza own all.

Holy hell the catch on Berkmans shot to CF.
