QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 28, 2007 -> 03:27 PM) The bullpen combined makes less than 1/3 of what Vazquez gets. Going cheap on the bullpen is stupid. Justin Speier would have been a far more valuable player for the White Sox than Pods. I hate Javier Vazquez. I just think it's important to point that out.

QUOTE(Brian @ May 28, 2007 -> 03:20 PM) Wait til the Twins get a real ball park. I never enjoy something quite as much as when the Twins blow up in the playoffs. The reason is simple: a team that doesn't play in a baseball stadium doesn't deserve to win the most important games in baseball. Whatever that piece of garbage is, it ain't that. It serves their organization, fan base, and Punto/Tyner slap-down-at-the-ball-3rd-graders right. They deserve to win nothing. I'm glad they've won NOTHING in the playoffs in 15 years. I wish it were longer. I wish they hadn't beaten the Cardinals in '87 and the Braves in '91. I wish that Harmon Killebrew would have to play centerfield for them -- today. There. I feel much better. Of course, if they want to give us Santana, Morneau, Mauer, Hunter, Cuddyer, Punto, Castillo and Nathan -- well, I'd be alright with that, too.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ May 18, 2007 -> 04:01 PM) making Demster look like Rivera You mean FunnyMan Ryan Dempster, right? Cuz that's what our lovely Chicago media would have you believe. Dude's like the John Salley of baseball -- not really funny, but he's an athlete and he makes lousy jokes, so he's HILARIOUS.

QUOTE(Brian @ May 18, 2007 -> 03:52 PM) Ask Cub fans about yesterday. Happy that we can get them back on the right track.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ May 18, 2007 -> 03:50 PM) I am so pissed off I just yelled at my Paperboy for riding his bike through my grass That's fairly pissed.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ May 18, 2007 -> 03:45 PM) Dempster is warming, so there is hope That's funny man Ryan Dempster to you. That guy is a real jokester. God Bless the Cubs and their funny guys.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 18, 2007 -> 03:39 PM) Look at my sig the day after the last regular season game. !!!!!!!!!

DJ is just babbling right now. Making little to no sense. Hawk encourages him.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 16, 2007 -> 10:01 PM) This is the best offensive team Hawk has seen to be in this big of a slump? He must have a different perception of our current talent level than I do. And last year's team had more talent than any team Hawk had ever been around. Poor Hawk.

Sure wish that Damon was out there in center. We'd have moved up runners a couple of times tonight.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 16, 2007 -> 09:41 PM) The commercial makes no sense. They show a guy with an OBP sub 300. At least Pods could claim injury last year when he was sub 300 OBP. Grinderstad is healthy I guess. You're on to something here. They should do one with Pods, but have those little arrows point to different parts of his groin: "Pulled left abductor" -- "Strained right abductor" -- "Hernia" Then flash to: "Groin on 'em on. Groin 'em over. Groin 'em in. Sox." This would be a good ad.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 16, 2007 -> 09:39 PM) Aren't the Sox pretty much the worst team in baseball at Getting 'em on, Getting 'em over and Getting 'em in? Sometimes irony -- is pretty ironic.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 16, 2007 -> 09:37 PM) Why is Joe Crede so slow? He appears to be fairly athletic, why does he move at such a slow pace when putting one leg in front of the other? Crede's alpha gets in the way of his beta. He's working on it.

2 on, no out. No one advances. Sox offense baby, it's magic!

QUOTE(vandy125 @ May 16, 2007 -> 09:23 PM) Every mistake Erstad makes right now is magnified for some reason. Didn't he also save at least 2 runs earlier in the game with a nice catch at the wall? I LIKE Erstad. Speaking for myself, I'm just tired of Hawk's Erstad-related blather. And the fact that Williams made no other acquisitions to shore up the 3 spots in the order that flat-out blew last year.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 16, 2007 -> 09:20 PM) So, that drops his OBP below .300 as well, right? That's the grindiest 30% YOU'll ever see.

QUOTE(beautox @ May 10, 2007 -> 01:18 PM) bye gardy! I'm almost certain that Gardenhire asked the ump to toss him. During the argument, he was waving his arms and doing all the things you do that get you tossed, but the ump wouldn't do it. Finally, as the crowd was getting into it, Gardenhire leaned into the umpire's ear and then pulled back. A few seconds later, he got tossed. I think that's why Konerko was laughing.

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ May 8, 2007 -> 10:28 PM) Getting tired of bad managing Getting tired of watching the same game in the Metrodome for the last 6 years. By the way, it struck me again tonight what a piece of garbage that place is. They had a shot toward right-handed hitters, and behind them, the Twins players and coaches were sitting in the "dugout" or whatever they call it. And just to the side of the "dugout" was like some sort of sidecar pen or something, where 2 or 3 coaches or players could stand. Stupid. Just another reason to conclude that funds for blowing up the Metrodome should be included in the federal budget. I intend to write Congress about this. Soon.

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ May 3, 2007 -> 09:34 PM) The best we could probably do right now is Emil Brown. In the outfield, 'Ol Emil makes Pods look like Willie Mays.

I don't regret the trade -- thought it was a fair one at the time and still do now. I do, however, miss the one guy who didn't try to hit the ball a mile every time up. I'll say that for Gload: he hit it where it was pitched. Maybe he could be our batting instructor.

Beauty!

Important to stop that Tiger 9th inning crap from last year. Let's go, Bobby.

I'm glad that's a big ballpark.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 08:54 PM) Oh man....Uribe has struggled at times in that situation. Not Juan's best night with the fundamentals.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 07:31 PM) Al Kaline would have made that play. Al Kaline, in his current state, would've made that play.
