Is it too much to expect even just ONE hit off a lefty?????

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 29, 2011 -> 03:25 PM) That'd be kinda hard considering he hasn't been around a few seasons. This board would've shutdown if we had traded Gordon after '09. But it's still too bad we didn't.

It's too bad we didn't trade Beckham a few years ago, when people thought he was good

QUOTE (OilCan @ May 29, 2011 -> 01:48 PM) That ship has sailed, my friend. Ah, already posted you mean?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 29, 2011 -> 01:47 PM) Lilli is our starting 2B for the time being. I don't care when Gordon is ready. Brent is tattooing that damn baseball. And Gordon is awful, so..

Ozzie on the brink of implosion? http://bit.ly/jYJc0P

2 pitches, 1 out.

Man, we had so much promise with this lineup. Beckham - Bust. Dunn - Bust (so far). Rios - Bust Danks - Bust

Batted around. 6 hits, 1 walk, 2 homers... awesome Danks, awesome.

44 pitches for Danks, through 2 outs. Lmao.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 29, 2011 -> 01:34 PM) wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow John Danks. Thanks again for not taking that extension.. Seriously, he saved us millions by declining. Too bad. He had so much promise. Is his brother still an epic fail too?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 29, 2011 -> 01:34 PM) His stuff is so mediocre this year. Everything is up in the zone. I'm not going to be sad if we get swept in Boston if it results in Danks being traded and Ozzie/Walker fired. Do you really think a sweep by Boston would result in either of those outcomes?

I am SUPER glad Danks declined that extension! He has nothing.

So... is Beckham really done?

CARLOS QUENTIN! ARE YOU NUTS?!

It's really that bad out there?

CQ!!!

I haven't been able to see a game in a while, but they are FINALLY showing life! HELL YES!

Seriously, has a team ever gotten this much value out of a converted SS who pitched for a few months before making a team? Now he's started this season with 19.0 IP and NO ER. DAMN SON!

Santos! Love this kid! What a story he is.

ouch.

Alright Humber. You got yourself into this, let's see how well you get out. Doooo it!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 13, 2011 -> 11:40 PM) If Humber can get through this inning without allowing another hit, he will be the 1st pitcher in Sox history to have 4 straight starts of 7+ IP w/ 3 hits or less. Billy Pierce/Humber are tied with 3 starts. Blah, who cares. He's kicking ass, and that's all that matters.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 13, 2011 -> 11:39 PM) We could get into a political argument, but there's no point. Baseball has always been protected by the anti-trust exemption and Congress, and Congress is basically run by corporate interests, and among those elites are the owners of 30 major league baseball teams. The "average" baseball fan (with a family of 4) will never enter into their considerations, any more than Congress will care about the effects of cutbacks on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, Head Start, WIC, etc. That's one of those things lost from the Bill Veeck era. While he could hardly balance his checkbook, one of his primary concerns was always about entertainment and the fan experience. Things have obviously changed...for both the good and bad. In many ways, we're lucky the team is still in Chicago, and once again you can give credit (or blame, for those against public funding of sports facilities) to government for that. But you did anyways! I agree with you 100%, though.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ May 13, 2011 -> 11:29 PM) I don't have any color problems, but I want to choke my tv. Every time the Sox are on WGN, the crowd mics are louder than the announcers. I don't know if it's a local thing (Cox AZ) or if other peopl;e have the same problem. I didn't mind it so much when DJ was in the booth, but I don't like missing out on Stone or Wimpy. Oh, I consider that a blessing. Not having to hear Hawk is fantastic! "HOT DOGS" guy is more entertaining.
