Floyd has wiggled out of bigger jams recently. We need a K or a pop up.

When this crap happens it seems their best hitters then come to the plate everytime. I like Butler.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 16, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) Really, you have a problem with how much praise he's put on Frank? He's been flat out right. I really don't think Hawk needs to stroke Frank's ego 20 times a game. Its fine to call him the greatest hitter in White Sox history a couple of times a telecast, but I think even the most novice of White Sox fans gets it. Frank Thomas is the poster child for sports heroes you would be udderly dissappointed in if you knew him in person.

What has happened more often these telecasts, Frank saying no doubt about it, or Hawk sucking the Big Hurt off?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 16, 2010 -> 01:31 PM) Don't underestimate our starters ability to give runs back. Doesn't matter. The Sox are getting at least 6 today.

At least they are hitting the ball today. This is a win. Its a lock.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 16, 2010 -> 01:27 PM) If they ever had a conversation with Simeon Rice, it would go "without a doubt" followed by "most definitely". No doubt about it.

Joey Cora says "without a doubt" all the time. A conversion between Joey and Frank leaves little doubt.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 16, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) He went, Hawk and Frank No doubt about it, but I really don't understand why home plate umpires don't ask for help anyway on all checks or semi-checks.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 16, 2010 -> 01:17 PM) It's all about health. And he's been showing signs with a back and neck injury the past couple of weeks. Hopefully they can keep it at bay, but you have to figure he probably is going to go down sometime.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 16, 2010 -> 01:14 PM) Who ends up with the higher batting average this season, Beckham or Andruw Jones? Beckham. I was reading something yesterday. This is the AB total when Jones just fell apart last season. His numbers after 110 or so AB are about the same as last season, except he has a couple more homers. I don't think he can keep it up, but hopefully he won't fall totally apart.

Frank with his first no doubt about it today.

No doubt about it.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 16, 2010 -> 11:35 AM) Hopefully the fact that most people will be watching the Hawks game will take the pressure of these guys and maybe they can win another series!!!! Yeah, I'm sure they think about all the people in Chicago tuning into Comcast and it makes them nervous.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 16, 2010 -> 12:53 PM) Well, between the fact that he's dealing with the same stuff on the radio that is being posted here and the fact that he's legitimately working daily on post-game shows, and doing promotional appearances elsewhere, I think he has other stuff to do. Plus he's dating Ginger Zee. Why the hell is he ever on here in the first place?

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 16, 2010 -> 11:13 AM) I keep hearing "LeBron has no heart" because he had an absolutely terrible Game 5 that he deserves to get ripped a new one for. But it's like all these people forgot about the 2008 Finals where Kobe played below-average to poor basketball for pretty much the whole series, and of course the Celtics won that series pretty convincingly. Now, I enjoy ripping on LeBron (and Kobe too for that matter) but it gets to a point where I would just be denying their actual ability... does anyone say Kobe lacks heart? Hopefully not, or at least not anyone halfway intelligent... Kobe's team just got beat by a better team that year, and the Lakers went on to win next year. The only real criticism you can make of Kobe's 4 rings is how Shaq is why they won the first 3. Keep in mind the naysayers were saying the same types ofthings about Jordan until the Bulls finally won. He was a great talent, didn't make the others better, a ballhog, etc. James is only a year older than Taj Gibson. If the Bulls get LeBron and they stay healthy, they will be in the finals every year for the foreseeable future. I was LMAO at the NY Post this morning. In one article they were saying LeBron doesn't need a good point guard that Chandler and Gallinari would be more attractive to LBJ. Then in another article were talking about the Knicks acquiring Tony Parker and giving him a huge extension. He can't hang with Rose on a basketball court.

It was sad to find out the reason DJ is away is because his mom died. Condolences DJ.

Hopefully Thornton's elbow won't be an issue.

He was still grimacing. I am very concerned.

Take him out.

Thornton hurt his elbow.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 15, 2010 -> 09:39 PM) Mark Teahen...he has no purpose on this team. I don't understand why Vizquel is on the team if you don't put him in defensively with a 1 run lead.

Jake's a little hot about being lifted.

Maybe Jenks isn't coming in. He was still standing in the bullpen when they went to commercial. Usually he throws a hard one and starts marching in.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 15, 2010 -> 09:25 PM) Pierre is so taking Farnsworth deep. Do you think Pierre could hit one over the wall in Williamsport?
