QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 09:44 PM) Could Dye have caught that? Unreal, what awful managing. I'm wondering if Jermaine could be any slower. Just not sure.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 08:47 PM) ATTENTION NL CENTRAL: Throw INSIDE to the Cubs. ATTENTION AL CENTRAL: Don't f*** with us at home. It's so funny that you say this. I mean, for years -- seriously, years -- I've watched that piece of garbage Aramis Ramirez make stacks of money because pitchers don't pitch him on the inner half. I seriously wonder what these advance scouts do at the park.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 08:45 PM) I'm betting that Lou's press conferences aren't going to be all cute and funny for awhile. Press is terrified of him. And when the Cubs lose, he's just a total bully with them.

Surprising development, gang: Sox mystified by soft-tossing lefty.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 07:44 PM) Well, that was freaking awful. Not only that, if Cubs go on to win, they'll credit Lou for firing up the team. Well, he did get tossed on purpose. He's been managing for about 100 years; he knows you can't argue balls and strikes.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 07:43 PM) Jeezus, great situational hitting. We should have two runs if not for poor batting. Be a hero Alexei. Tired of watching these guys squeeze it too hard in these situations.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 04:17 PM) lol it's not like NOBODY here didnt see that coming from Lee right there javy had us all fooled, he had a couple good innings but overall he sh** the bed once again, what's that 3 bad starts in a row, 4? This is the pattern of his career. A couple of good months. A couple of lousy months. And rarely a good game when people are watching.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 04:15 PM) Just terrible by Javy...get someone up in the f***ing pen, this guy has no balls. Guys tend to revert to what they are. This is Javy. A nutless wonder.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 03:04 PM) I Javy pitching like a f***ing pussy again? Yes. Yes, he is.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 02:58 PM) What the hell is wrong with him lately? Reverting to his very average, career .500, basically incapable of winning games you'd really like to have -- pitcher.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 12:29 PM) Its f***ing 130 and its already over.Dammit! Not if we take a good approach at the dish and peck away. Actually, this is a pretty good test of whether our guys can do that and not try to get it all back with their big overswings.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 12:28 PM) Gavin is crashing back down to earth. Some meatball-type pitches this inning. Hit real hard, by the way.

Gavin now folding up.

Wait. Are you telling me that the book on Dye is to go with slow stuff?

First hitter: Fuentes gets behind, into a hitter's count. So the next 2 guys swing at the first pitch. Worst offensive team in baseball -- and paid rather well.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:55 PM) AJ on. C'mon Q. Give 'em a thrill. I like his approach right now. Solid stuff.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:53 PM) AJP is having a horrible game offensively and defensively. Not totally sure whey no Toby Hall today, with the lefty. Maybe because Anderson and Uribe were in? I'm not sure.

Little League team.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) He is a sucking player and no amount of dinners or drinks to you is going to change that. He isnt the reason they are losing tonight, but I would rather play the guy who is hitting .287. When was the last time that uribe had that BA, 2004. "D.J. Juan carried us that year for a long time. Mercy."

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:45 PM) Its in response to all the b****ing about Uribe playing 2 games in a row. He actually did have a big hit last night, but according to some, he's the reason the Sox haven't scored tonight. Well, he's 1 of 9 reasons, I guess.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:43 PM) Again, pathetic, to the highest degree Imagine where he would've hit it if he hadn't been trying to shoot it to right field.

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) I just got home...what record would he be going for? 31 stolen bases in one game.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:33 PM) Boone shaved his powerful beard. That's why he gave up that hit. I believe that a lot.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 14, 2008 -> 07:19 PM) I wonder if opposing pitchers openly laugh when they chart our team. I'd imagine there's only one dot on that chart: low and away, for 25 guys.
