QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 11:32 AM) Seriously, the team has won 9 f***ing games in a row and 13 of 14. Are you ever positive, Sqwert? It has been a fun ride, but it will end. It always does. When that happens, the hole in the DH slot needs to get better in order to maintain a normal competitive pace and have a shot at the end of the season. Not necessarily being negative as much as grounded and realistic. No matter how invincible they look, no team can keep up a pace like this for an extended stretch of the season.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) 6-5 tigers bullpen blows They got the out they needed in the 7th and squeaked by with a win in NYC.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 04:08 PM) f*** 10, put up 15 or 20 I think we are looking at a minimum Eight-peat when all is said and done.

QUOTE (AJUribe @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:59 PM) great quote here by chipper jones, "That team right there is the best we've played this month," Chipper Jones said. "They're swinging the bats. And the back of their bullpen is dynamite. They're the first team I've seen that can shorten a game to six innings." Funny. I was thinking last night that if MB can get through the 6th with the lead, the bullpen would take care of the rest.

QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:58 PM) ^^^^THIS^^^^^ Yep. That one blown run in game 4 may have been enough to get the Sox into the series that year. Hoyt was so on at the time but Baltimore was a great squad as well. Lot of fond memories from that season. It was back when ABC had Monday Night baseball and the Sox played the Brewers of Gorman Thomas fame. They won an exciting game and really were rounding into form after the trade for Julio Cruz. We can only hope this season comes close to being as memorable a second half.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:20 PM) omgggg bobby you fatass motherf***er we should have traded...oh wait, now we'll all cheer for him right? you are going to get a friend request from greg any minute now.

Mariners are up 6-1 on Cubs with 10 hits, 3 of which are infield singles, 6 shallow singles to the OF and one bloop double. Lee seems to be putting them to sleep.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:58 PM) I haven't made it to Citi Field yet (even though I work for Citi!). I've been to both old and new Yankees Stadium, when the Sox have been in town and for a couple of other games. And actually, I didn't find the Yanks fans to be as bad as previously advertised, but I will tell you that the old Yankees Stadium was a complete dump. Horrible structure from which to watch a game, and I don't care how many World Series Championships occurred there. As for the Metropolitans, well, I've always cut them a little slack, even before I moved here. For reasons I don't know, I seem to understand their so-called plight as the 2nd team in a 2-team city. : ) Funny you say that. I kind of always saw the Mets as NY's version of the White Sox.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:53 PM) That's hilarious. I LOLed

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:49 PM) As someone who lives on the East Coast these days, let me just say: you ARE correct, Sir! I mean, I live in New York, but even the Bronx Bomber and Mets fans aren't as annoying as the BoSox fans. Can't stand 'em! : ) Are Mets fans even that bad in general?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:49 PM) Agreed, thought that when they were setting up inside the pitches prior to the bomb. On the shot last night, you could see the catcher setup inside. As the ball was missing right over the heart of the plate, I thought, "this could be going a long way." Amazing how hard he hits mistakes when he is on.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:47 PM) Yes, this is the first. That's because he hasn't faced an offense like the White Sox until now.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:46 PM) man i love quentin when he gets hot...he definitely has the potential to end the season with 25 HR Just in October?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:42 PM) Wow, Giambi with a walkoff against Papelboner My kid periodically asks "Daddy, if the Cubs were playing the ______, who do you want to win?" The other day he asked about the Red Sox and I actually said I'd cheer for the Cubs. I think Red Sox fans are the most obnoxious lot in baseball.

but a little further in the zone and he gets him with a biter. Excellent sequence.

fish weren't biting there.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:40 PM) Where would Heyward play? Can he ph as well as Kotsay?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:38 PM) Thornton for Heyward? trade or pitching change?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:32 PM) Have I mentioned how much I love Omar Vizquel and just how happy I am that he's succeeding? He really has been a pleasure to watch and provides balance to the infield and the lineup. I really like him in the 2 hole and thought it was a gamble they should have tried early on in the season when the parade of the inept was running though that slot. He won't hit for power but he knows how to make contact, advance runners and get on base. The defense obviously needs no comment and I really believe he is helping Alexei take his game to another level at SS. Would love to keep him in the organization next year somehow even if not as a player.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:32 PM) Who goes in for the 7th? I'd put in Thornton and hope he can perform well for 5 hitters. I'd go Putz or Santos with the number of righties they have stacked in their lineup tonight.

Ballgame in Milwaukee. 4 back pending outcome of this game. Morneau Ks to end it. What an unreal OBP for that guy against RHP, .467 as of his last AB.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) lol. that would be great. Well, his English is actually decent. Maybe he is just Oney.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 10:25 PM) Do not criticize Ozzie. - Love greg greg is ozzie g.

Wish they would have pulled the plug on this outing by now. Seems someone should have been warming up by now.

Are they really doing this? Please stop.
