QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 12:13 PM) All the Konerko ripping yet none for Swisher who is now down to .229. April, May and July his combined average is .196. But he sure is one funny, funny guy. Did you know that? Swish is funny. Funny, funny, funny. Funny guy.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 02:05 PM) Well he was getting tossed immediately, umpires don't listen to base coaches or put up with their s***, ever. Sinatro is Piniella's lackey. Kinda like all the Chicago writers who refuse to ask Lou a tough question for fear that he'll yell at them.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 01:57 PM) Damn Lou just won't go away! Side replay made it appear DeRosa was out.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 04:03 PM) Nah, Wood and Prior has elite stuff, Samadjanasdja has a good fastball with pretty pedestrian breaking stuff, and only projects as a pen guy. Those two were both Aces at one time or another. No, I meant with respect to the media riding the guy's nut sack.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 03:32 PM) i already had the HOF induction ready Latest in the line of Wood and Prior -- the Chicago media, in concert with Jim Hendry, has been pumping this guy up for more than a year.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 03:52 PM) Wow we are bad all of a sudden. This seems strangely kinda accurate. We've looked like a bad club for the last few series.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 03:51 PM) This is one of the worst managed/coached games you'll ever see. Cox has done a good job over there this year, but that was poor.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 03:39 PM) I have a feeling Linebrink didn't feel 100 pct when warming up today. DL him. If he can't pitch, DL him. I feel like Guillen is managing knowing he can't use him, and it's affecting his handling of every pitcher all the way back to his starters. If he can't pitch, don't have him on the roster.

QUOTE (Maxwell @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 05:42 AM) Dumpster looked like such an idiot hitting the water cooler. I feel like I could kick the s*** out of him with my right arm tied behind my back after watching that. These guys all like to put on a show -- for the fans, the cameras or both -- at Wrigley. That's about 50% of Zambrano's act. That's why Soriano does his hop. Dempster -- "character" that he is -- isn't any different. It's really something to watch.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 05:13 PM) Konerko = horrible. He blows, we are a much better all-around team with Swish at 1st and rotating Wise and Anderson in CF. Konerko's D costs us two games now in the 6 he's been back. Not to mention his bat sucks. Plus, he sucks big-time.

Jermaine takes 1/2 hour to get to the ball.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd like to hear Hawk talk more about the ballpark.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 04:10 PM) nice blanket ozzie It would be cool if Coop came over and snuggled up into it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 04:10 PM) Damn....PK's defense costs us 3 runs. And then there was Kansas City. Liability.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 04:07 PM) well that kind of happened It was the kind of walk where you hit the guy.

Hawk is very focused on his story and can't remember how many strikes Russell had on Vasquez or how many outs there are. Here comes the crappy story . . .

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 04:01 PM) That airline commercial always makes me realize that I have never been on a flight with a real hot stewardess. Yeah, there have been near-misses. They look like they might have been hot, at one time. But there's definitely a feeling of loss. Yeah.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 03:59 PM) Geez Alexi misplayed that pop up... Hawk with the major league excuse-making. Logan with the nothing slider located nowhere near the strike zone. Solid.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 03:57 PM) It's mind boggling how bad him and Crede have been on defense. They have absolutely no confidence out there. Fortunately, Paulie will easily shake it off. He just lets these things roll off his back, allowing him to rebound quickly. He's not at all apt to take this into his next 30 games.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 03:54 PM) Must have been pitching too well. Good job, Konerko. Easy pick off and he F's it up. Let's just get to the break healthy. Little League mistake. He is TERRIBLE out there. MISERABLE. AWFUL.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 08:42 PM) No doubt. I was scratching my head wondering why he was still pitching the 9th in that one. Maybe Ozzie was shocked that Javy was actually effective, and just decided he would let him keep going. I mean, I was certainly shocked that Javy decided to pitch with a nutsack. Maybe Ozzie fainted when he saw the same thing. He passed out, hit his head, and the next thing you know, Javy's throwing a complete game.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 08:28 PM) The gap in right-center was about 8 miles long. Teahen kept chugging all the way, and when Swish got Alexei the ball in short-center, Alexei put his head down and jogged it it. When he finally realized Teahen was heading home, the throw was off/late. Swish - slow. Dye - slow. Ramirez - sleepy.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 08:26 PM) how did they get an inside the park home run? someone dive for the ball? No. That would've required focus.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 08:24 PM) Sorry to say this but watching them play today they kind of deserve to loose this one. They've had their heads up their behinds for 3 days. Finally caught up with them.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 08:19 PM) As long as Paulie is on this team and not on the DL, he is going to start at 1st and Swish will be in CF. Gonna have to deal with it. Simple to say, Paulie cost us the game. Ten days. After the All-Star break, that's what I'd give him. If he's still not hitting, he's a spot player the rest of the way.
