QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) Amazing throw by Gary Matthews Jr. to get Maggs at home and end the inning. Imagine how fired up I'd be if I didn't have to watch Javier Vazquez.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 02:45 PM) We've seen Thome foul off way too many meatballs lately. I think he's hurt more than they're letting on.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 02:29 PM) Evidently if you may want a guy to join your coaching staff next season, its a requirement to have him on the roster this season. Oh, that's why Javy's on the roster. Next year's bullpen catcher. So long, Man Soo Lee.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 02:27 PM) Give me a guy with "stuff" and no brain ANY day than a guy with 86 MPH junk and is a total douche. Hopefully Javy can rebound next seaon. Based on his track record of being a .500 pitcher, I think we can expect Javy to bounce back to about .500.

QUOTE(kwolf68 @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 02:21 PM) Texas has just jumped into the lead on Detroit...down 6-0, now up 7-6....we had a golden chance today, but Javy is not capable of pitching around errors, not capable of not throwing meatballs, not capable of getting thru more than the lineup 3 times, not capable of helping this team win a title... He needs to be dealt...for anything we can get. How about Todd Ritchie?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 02:14 PM) As someone else on this site has noted, Vazquez is the momentum killer. Hey Javy, when you come out of the game, throw your mitt against the wall and act real upset. Like always. Because you were trash. Like always.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 08:22 PM) Shocker! Garcia can't get off this team soon enough. I think the key was the concentration that Freddy showed going back out there.

Tough stuff, Boof.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) Hawk seems very pissed off tonight. Must have been a bad day on the back nine.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 07:57 PM) Terrible swing by Iguchi. He looked like he was swinging with an 0-2 count. Ridiculously crappy at-bat. Just silly. HOWEVER, Boof looked hittable. Repeat: Boof looked hittable.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 07:52 PM) Wow, nice at bat BA Brian was on a nice little streak until Ozzie iced him on Wednesday.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 07:45 PM) Garcia is hard to watch. But easy to love.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 07:40 PM) freddy is throwing a lot of fastballs tonight You have to go with your bread and butter. And Freddy's bread and butter is eating bread and butter.

Another good thing about F. Garcia is how he works at such a quick pace.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) Pods has to be closing in on a record for leadoff hitters taking a 3rd strike. Nice to see Freddy get out of the inning only giving up 1. Its ridiculous he's never ready to pitch in the first inning. He's fat and kind of lazy. My goodness, I've never seen Konerko pop up in the Metrodome. (Every game, actually.)

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 07:25 PM) EVERYTHING IS RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE That's called pinpoint location. Thank goodness Freddy has it.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 07:50 PM) Vazquez is the skidder. He starts losing streaks. I hate him. But I digress.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 11:49 PM) I hate games that go to 1 AM that aren't in the playoffs. I like them less when we lose. C'mon, Bobby!

I liked how we handled Proctor.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 11:47 PM) AJ swung at ball five Well, considering that he was totally handcuffed by two near-misses earlier in the at-bat, I guess it evened out.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 11:46 PM) My point was moreso.....Jeter in 2004 had an 0 for 37 slump, and the fans in NY STILL loved him. Can you imagine what they'd do to A-Rod if he had that kind of slump? Boo him more than now?

Yankee game plan is upstairs with the heat.

43 on the mound for the Yankees. Ah, memories of Jeff Nelson.

Ahem.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 10, 2006 -> 11:38 PM) Did you see how quick Abreu got down to first on that easy out? That's what the Sox lack. That's what the Phillies lacked, too. Having been traded to the Yankees, Abreu now has decided that he wants to play.
