Jermaine Dye, what speed? What grace?

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 03:38 PM) Johnson spent 3 years in rookie ball, has never even made it to AAA, and had a 4.13 ERA in AA. We better rock him. but they don't just bring up guys for fun... he must have showed some promise his last couple outings... or something...

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) With other teams paying parts of his salary, Javy's contract is affordable. Instead of overpaying on the FA market for guys like Loaiza, Burnett, Washburn [all guys available after 2005], Javy's not doing that poorly in comparison, and has a better upside than them. could you imagine if he got Kenny Rogers instead? That would have been a coup de gras... get a really strong lefty and at the same time deprive the Tigers of the man who has been there heart and soul... meh... hindsight is 20/20

QUOTE(SadChiSoxFanOptimist @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 11:50 AM) Nice. Exxxxxxxxxxxxcuuuuuuuuuussssssseeee meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I was merely evaluatiing what I believe is holding this team back -- lack of speed and rally-killing double plays -- thinking about how to fix it. BTW, hope there are no typos here -- it's friggin dark in this damn closet. Rock, can I come out now? come on... whats holding this team back is good pitchers pitching poorly... if that changes... whitesox start winning.

I'm excited everytime Garland takes the bump... should be a good game

this team just destroys closers... before today Ray had saved 8 straight.

and this is why they play 9 innings... more deep breaths folks... not over yet.

deep breaths people... this game ain't over and there are a lot of games left... (and you can save the sarcastice responses, I won't be reading them)

I wonder if they could start using steroids?

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 11:14 PM) Blind optimism and rah-rah cheerleading will lead to NOTHING! Open your eyes and be a smart fan. what does being a smart fan lead to? just curious...

is aj hitting for juan... or are you saying aj is in the batting circle for sandy?

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:34 PM) fat fingers you've been reported

MMac... finger slipped

Time to get JMac his first W in a sox uni.

well the sox have hit papelbom, Rivera, and ryan... maybe they can hit Nathan

Please God... PLEASE!!! Chase johan this inning... Lets get contreras the win here...

Ya mang, Contreras secures the AL cy young tonight, fo sho.

Torre will get... its bull spiff though

QUOTE(G&T @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 11:21 PM) ...they've given him tons of run support this year and he enjoys giving it up. Furthermore, when did the Twins become an offensive juggernaut? 4 runs can beat the Twins if there's a good pitcher out there. when morneau started hitting well... they became a much better team... It took more then pitching to get out fo the hole they dug themself at the start of the season.

so is Javy coming back out?

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 08:29 PM) Yankees up 6-2 you mean they are close enough to warrant score updates... it really has been a terrible weak.

did the bat break on the homerun swing? Which I don't recall ever seeing before Or did he break his bat get a new bat and then hit a homerun (ala the natural)

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 08:05 PM) Pierzynski, Crede, Paulie and Dye are sooo slow, they look like they're stuck in mud. We've got to have the slowest team in baseball. bah, dye isn't that slow.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 08:01 PM) Because Torii Hunter's on the DL. Otherwise he'd be 6th. no, they moved him up to 5 while Torii was still healthy
