I LOVE Ozuna.

f*** this.

I told a friend who's moved to Michigan that I'd tape the Contreras game today, and I intended to but turns out my VCR is broken! She's an incredible Randy Johnson fan, and I've been telling her how good Contreras is, as she's a pitching nut. She never got to watch him since 2005, only when he was a Yankee, and she couldn't believe the change in him. So, yeah. If you're in Chicago, can you tape it for me and we can arrange for me to pick it up somewhere at some time? Someone help me out here.

Jose Contreras, yeeeeeees!

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ May 27, 2006 -> 01:05 PM) White Sox vs. Tigers ALCS? It would be better than facing the Red Sox or Yankees. I am oh-so-sick of those two.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ May 27, 2006 -> 12:50 PM) How bad are the cubs? Well, yesterday, the cubs actually managed to walk Jeff Francoeur... thats bad With the bases loaded!

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ May 26, 2006 -> 11:24 PM) I was under the impression that Garland wanted to play on the west coast. Couldn't he waive his no-trade clause to go to a team like the angels? Theoritically, he could, but Kalapse is right: Garland got a no-trade clause because he wanted to be in Chicago.

Contreras pitches tomorrow. There's my consolation.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 26, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) I mean this respectfully, but thankfully we didn't give Politte something dumb like a 3 yr extension after last season. But don't you appreciate what he did for us? Give him TIME!

NUKE DETROIT

I think we should use Fields as trade bait, then use him to pick up some relievers or whatever other spots we need help at. I'd keep Crede.

I really, really like Thornton.

Thankfully they didn't take action against Lee or Contreras for running on the field.

Maybe more people would rather watch them than listen to them now, what with Singleton and Farmer? Great news. And I love their marketing blitz all over Chicago.

She'll be in my thoughts and prayers, as will you.

I find that film to be the most paranoid piece of bulls*** on this Earth since Richard Nixon died.

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ May 25, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) Except for when they play the Sox, I am pulling for Toronto all the way. It would be great if neither NY or BOS made the playoffs. I picked Toronto to win it all -- err...to win the East. God damned injuries!

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ May 25, 2006 -> 08:04 PM) The White Sox just have to take care of business and win at least 93 games. 90% of the time, that will make the playoffs. And in the playoffs, anything can happen. I think the Sox are good enough to win it all, and I think they're very well suited to a playoff series against anyone. But it isn't good that the Tigers are so good. Although I'd be happy to have two Central teams in the Playoffs and watch either Boston or New York sit the playoffs out.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 25, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) I find it incredibly hard to believe that the Royals are last. Well, they are.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ May 25, 2006 -> 07:25 PM) The Tigers are now 33-14 through 47 games. They have 115 games remaining. If the Tigers go 58-57 in those games - 1 game over .500 - they will win 91 games. That's close to the playoffs right there, ESPECIALLY with the Blue Jays being improved and sucking wins away from the Red Sox and Yankees. The Tigers aren't going ANYWHERE folks. Barring a collapse of Titanic or Hindenburg proportions, the Tigers will be in the race deep into September. I think this absurd start of theirs nearly guarantees that they will hit 94 wins. That's only 61-54 the rest of the way. With a good rotation (probably 2nd best to Sox in the division with the Twins' rotation imploding), a good bullpen (probably better than the Sox right now) and a good hitting lineup (a bit behind the Sox with Thome, but probably better than the '05 Sox), it's hard to see the Tigers not hitting 95+ wins. The good news is that the Sox are 31-15 through 46 games. They have 116 games remaining. If they go 63-53, they hit 94 wins as well. My guess is that we see the AL Central with two 95+ win teams. Perhaps one team with 100-104 wins and the other with 98-100 wins....I just don't know which one will be which right now. PS, last year the Tigers were 22-25 through 47 games, and went 49-66 the rest of the way. If they did that this year, they STILL hit 82-80. That's not playoff contention, but just shows you how bad they have to play the rest of the year to fade away. Oh my. I hadn't done the Math before. That is not good, not good at all.
