FYI... CQ up 5th in the 9th...

1. Gavin almost pitching a no hitter vs. the Twins... I thought he was going to get it. (Great game to be at) 2 BA walk-off. I was there as well, and I honestly felt proud because when everyone wanted BA gone, I always wanted him to get another chance, and for him to come up with the big hit was awesome! 3. CQ walk-off vs. the Angels 4. Every 5th day, John Danks, nuff said 5. Final out to sweep the Cubs. This really isn't a "moment", but after all the b****ing everyone here has done, myself included, here we sit on July 14th, at the all-star break, in first place!!! I'll take it!

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 05:52 PM) Love Swish at first base and Wise/Anderson in CF. The team has more speed and is a joy to watch. I'm with ya, were a better team with Swish at 1st, and the combo of Wise and BA in CF.

How much better would this team be this year if we didn't have the "captain"?

QUOTE (Jim Spencer @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 06:39 PM) Something for Paulie to think about during the break: Juan has a higher batting average than he does Thats not good!!! Don't get me wrong, I love what PK did for us in his time with us, and what he did for 2005. But this is 2008, its time for him to start to hit.

I am so sick of Konerko, he f***ing sucks!!!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 05:23 PM) I'm convinced this team is better without both Swisher and PK in the lineup against LHP. Swisher is just terrible against lefties, and that hurts because CQ and Crede suck against them also. Agreed... I'm also convinced this team is better without Konerko on it.

WOW Paulie... ANOTHER GREAT GAME!!!

WOW... So, Paulie still f***ing blows...

I have all the faith in the world when either Danks or Buehrle is on the mound this year, so go get em Johny! Plus it's my Birthday and I would love a win from the Sox!!!

WOW.... this all f***ing s*** started because Paul Konerko is on the team...

WOW... THANKS PAULIE!!!! f***!!!!!!!!

Paul Konerko sucks at baseball...WOW

What did Alexei do? I am at work.

Congratulations Mark! With the bad start he got off to, his ERA is now 4.04

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 12:13 PM) Can I let you guys know sometime early next week (Mon or Tues)? I would love to play and meet some people from the site. I'm sorry to say that I will not be able to make it this year

I like the way you think! June 23rd, and the Sox are in first. If someone would have told me that in March, I would have taken that in a second.

s*** happens... Yea, this weekend sucked, and yea we got embarassed this weekend, but its a long season, there going to be ups and downs. Right now were down, hopefully we get back up starting Tuesday! All I have to say, is if someone told me on the morning of June 23rd, the White Sox would be in first place, I would take that, no questions asked. Go Sox!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 21, 2008 -> 12:27 PM) Just fire Ozzie now, this is absolutely inexcusable. Agreed 100%

I can not remember the last time I did one of these, lets hope it brings some luck to the Sox! I have a good feeling about today! Go Sox!

FYI here is another view. I don't know what to think. Watching it live, I thought it was foul. I didn't even think twice about it until I saw this thread! http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=c...reduced2st4.png

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 01:39 PM) Fair enough...but whenever a player goes into a slump, there's always people who want to run him out of town (myself included). I know what you mean, and sometimes I am guilty of that as well. With Quentin, and what he did the first two months, you know he was going to go into a slump, but I think he should get the benifit of the doubt. He will be fine. Now for Thome... thats another story

Can I let you guys know sometime early next week (Mon or Tues)? I would love to play and meet some people from the site.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 01:00 PM) And there's a reason you'd get blasted. QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 01:03 PM) :o Sorry guys, I should have used green for my post, I thought it was obvious. I love Quentin, and there isn't that much I would trade him for. I think he is going to be a yearly all-star, and the Sox 3 hitter for years to come. There is a reason I have a Quentin jersey, and it wasn't to trade him for a light hitting 2B

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 10:47 AM) I think frankly you're dramatically underestimating what it will take for this team to get Roberts from the Orioles. The price someone quoted a few days ago was one of Danks/Floyd, plus Alexei, plus another player, which is probably closer to true. If I'm in the Orioles' GM's seat, Here's who the Sox have that would interest me, in order. Quentin (I'd do Roberts straight up for him). Danks Floyd Alexei Poreda Swisher Broadway Richar Anderson Potential throw-ins like Cook. If I'm not getting 2 of the top 5 on that list (Unless you're willing to trade that Quentin guy, he seems pretty good), then you're not getting Roberts. I know I might get blasted for this, but I would do Quentin for Roberts straight up in a second.
