QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 03:55 PM) Jim swings at ball 3 Not with this umpire.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 03:50 PM) Were Jenks and Vazquez the only pitchers on our roster to not allow runs this wknd? You're preaching to the choir about PK's swings lately. The bat speed is lacking. I don't think Thornton did, either, and the ones charged to Cotts weren't actually allowed by Cotts.

I wonder if they'll send Javy out, THEN Papelbon. But Francona isn't a Larussa, is he?

Anderson, Iguchi and Pods are going to have to step it up next inning, 'cause we won't be able to count on Thome with Lopez coming out to face him.

QUOTE(stretchstretch @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 03:12 PM) 3-4-5 doing their best to make the national audience watching this series how the f*** they ever got in the all-star game....... Oh, two homeruns for Thome and three for Dye -- yeah, people see that and say, "THEY DON'T BELONG!"

QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 03:11 PM) The Red Sox will win by at least 4 runs today, you can bank on it. What's wrong with you? What kind of fan "banks" on his team losing by "at least four runs" in a one-run ballgame?

I hate this umpire.

I wish that that ball had broken Schilling.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 10:09 AM) Imagine if Dusty didn't get his hands on Prior and Wood... things would be very different. It's a shame. Yeah, to a point I feel for Mark Prior. But I also wonder, only half-seriously, if he's psychosomatic. That team is full of unintentional humor.

Thanks, everyone.

Didn't Zito say he wouldn't sign with the New York Yankees?

I guess I'm not a pretty enough girl to be added by BMAC.

I think that the title is funny. His old form? You mean, what he had in Seattle?!? Poor word choice by the author, I think. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws

Thanks.

Well, my statements still apply about Kim Il Sung before he invaded the South. He'd been talking about it forever, and no one took him serious. There is precedent for North Korea making public threats and doing good on them. Hell, that precedent is in Kim Jung Il's family.

Hitler made real threats in public. So did China before the Korean War. And so did North Korea, pre-invasion. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I don't think Kim Jung Il is a Kim Il Sung, Hitler or a Chairman Mao, but it's important not to absolutely dismiss them.

We're going to win this game. f*** Curt Schilling. Dear Admins: when you pin this, could you edit out the "game thr" (supposed to be thread) and put it in the subtitle, instead?

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:23 AM) It never sounds good. But I can pretty much guarantee it means nothing. Yeah, that's about right. It's important not to COMPLETELY disregard the threats, but it's highly doubtful that anything will come of them.

Son of a b****. I expected Felix Hernandez to battle the Tigers tonight, but they took him out so as to limit his innings. Fuuuuuuuuuck.

Excuse me, but Conker's Bad Fur Day was the best N64 game. Ah, how I loved that.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 01:40 PM) So, where is the outrage over the NY Daily News publishing this story about an investigation in progress? I, for one, am furious.

Papelbon, oh my.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:24 PM) Have Papi and Manny ever come up with the bases loaded and nobody out and fail to get the damn ball out of the infield? Never.

QUOTE(stretchstretch @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:17 PM) thome hits big shots, but every single time it's clutch time, when they don't have the lead, he whiffs......THATS why Papi gets all the love on ESPN The Cardinals and Johan Santana say hello.

QUOTE(MinnesotaSoxFan @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:07 PM) I find these new guys funny since they have no idea who i am. Having Jim Thome in your signature is clearly the mark of a Twins fan. I'll bet you just like homeruns, and being a Twin fan, you haven't seen more from any other batter beside Thome! A slam here puts us up by 1.
