QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) It was that way 50-60 years ago. Never changes. Years ago, Ernie Banks would take a big swing and pop the ball up. Crowd would cheer wildly in anticipation. The the SS or CF would catch the ball, and the crowd would groan. Routine. There is a genetic strain that runs through that ball park that is scary. Those people have jobs, vote, and breed. Scary. That's because there are a ton of seats in the lower deck that are obstructed view. Even if you can see most of the field, the people can't see the ball in the air.

Jaramilloball.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) Well, and this is even when he's hitting...he offers nothing defensively and has no speed whatsoever. So yeah, .168 and a 43%+ k-rate puts him right in the discussion. He's probably the worst bang for you buck player in MLB. Even the guys who are getting paid to sit at home aren't hurting you.

It looks like the last 2 went around the plate.

Now would be a good time for Dunn to hit the HR I guaranteed earlier.

Garza is about to unravel

You can cancel the postgame show.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 04:36 PM) Yes I would. For some reason I think I remember hearing that it's technically not a no hitter in the record books if that happens. Someone please correct me or add to this because I thought Bud Selig changed it for some reason. It would be . When Hawkins did it to the Sox they didn't have to bat in the 9th.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 04:20 PM) Just tuning in (had to assemble a damn Gazeebo for fireworks day). Has Dunn looked clueless? Decent at bats? He looked decent his first AB, his second he look like he had spent the early part of the day drinking 40s with you.

I doubt they would have been able to get Byrd though.

Cmon Brent.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 04:12 PM) Karros is right. Being too nice to Byrd here. Either that or they think he'll be bailing or too worried about pitches inside, and won't be able to cover the outside corner.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 04:08 PM) Do you think a no hitter would send the team reeling? Absolutely. Luckily it won't happen today.

Just setting up another DP.

QUOTE (MAX @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 04:04 PM) Have you tried moving the dish or resolving the issue somehow? That seems awfully high. I'm in a muti unit dwelling. They have been out probably 50 times and the same thing happens. Like was stated earlier, the standard def usually is OK, but its hard to watch standard def when you are used to the HD, and as I stated, I can't believe HD quality could be higher than DirecTV's.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) Ohhhhh. You guys were talking about literal rain! I thought the first dude was being metaphorical. Well, that's good news then. I live in El Paso. It rained yesterday for about thirty minutes, and that was the first time I've seen the stuff in four months. That's good. I can't imagine DirecTV customer satisfaction being very high in Seattle.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 03:59 PM) This is almost Walker-like. Its Rudy Jaramillo. Its only the hitting coach's fault when its the White Sox.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 03:58 PM) It'll go out for me during the rain 2, maybe 3 times a year. Has to be really, really bad rain with thick clouds and usually seems like high winds (getting debris in the air and trees moving). Cable would go out once, maybe twice a year when I had cable. I usually have a little bit of stuff on the DVR just for whenever that happens. Mine goes out about 80 percent of the time it rains.

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 03:49 PM) DirecTV, my place, MONDAY! God, I'm more excited than Anthony Weiner in a sex chatroom. You're not going to happy when it rains. When the weather is nice, DirecTV has the best HD picture, but when it rains, at least at my place, you lose the picture at least half the time.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 03:47 PM) Do intentional walks count towards WHIP? yes

Thank God for Jaramilloball.

I hate Fox games. Hawk is the only guy I know who works "equidistant" into every telecast. When baseball season ends, I don't hear that word for almost 6 months.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) I'm more worried about 4 K suckfest. I don't think Dunn has a prayer against Garza's good slider. He's going to put one on the board today. Guaranteed.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 01:18 PM) (mis)Adventures in RF today. RF in Wrigley is a tough RF to play.

Did the Sox already clinch the BP Cup? Was that tie goes to the winner of the last game just for the first season? If today is the clincher, I may have to go.
