The other board has something about Gload being recalled to replace an injured Frank Thomas. Can anyone confirm?

The starting pitcher picks which uniform the Sox wear.

If you're making minimum payments on your credit card, you have no business owning one.

How about the White Sox use Contreras as a closer? I don't know how long it would take him to warm up and such, but if he's focused and attacking hitters he would be hard to touch in one inning stints.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) I don't buy revisionism. It sucks. Every situation would've been different, including the way the pitches were called and how the defense was set for each batter. Farnsworth doesn't have a 1 run lead vs. 5 run lead style. They could have played the defense anyway they wanted, the 2 walks to start the inning would have still occurred. Dye most likely would have attempted to bunt. How that turned out and how the rest of the inning would have turned out is anybody's guess. But I'm confident at least 1 run would have scored, meaning the game would still be going on.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) Oh no... Harris running for Crede... I swear if he gets picked off.. it aint gonna be pretty for Willie tomorrow night. Is he talking on his cell phone?

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) you guys are the ones who are uneffing real. you really think this would be the same pitched bottom of the ninth with just a two run lead? come on you revisionists Farnsworth would have come in with a 1 run lead, and he gets a little tight if you know what I mean. He would have given up at least 1 run.

Are they bringing in the dope that got clobbered Monday night?

Farnsworth-he gone

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) Uribe is not a good matchup against Farnsworth. Hopefully, he can walk. What did I tell you?

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 04:02 PM) After seeing this team play the past few weeks, I'm convinced we'd better add a stick in the middle of this lineup somewhere, or we are dead come playoff time. The heart of your order cannot be batting .230-265 in the playoffs like they have been all year...that's a death knell. Rowand's got to start hitting with some authority. He is usually pretty good in the second half, even before last season's breakout.

Back to back dreaded leadoff walks. If Dye gets on base this will get interesting.

Its a shame they put 4 runs on the board in the 9th. Farnsworth would have blown this game if it still were a 1 run game.

Where's Shingo when you need him?

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) I actually like our chances against those 4. None of them have ERA's under 4, and Miller's has been crap. And Clement's ERA is over 9.00 this month in 3 starts.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:38 PM) well i don't like our chances against Clement tomorrow, hopefully Buehrle brings his A game. Clement hasn't been that effective lately. He may be entering his fade a little earlier this season. They go against Clement, Wakefield, Miller and Arroyo. They can win 3 of these games.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:33 PM) We are going to get a good shot of how this will work when we face the Bosox with two cubans. Yes. The White Sox are going to have to get more than 3 or 4 hits a game.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:28 PM) Garcia is STILL pitching...??? WTF...?? Nepotism. Trying to get Freddy a win.

You know, if Frank started talking like he invented the game of baseball, and he started building benches out of baseball bats and bases, you wouldn't be able to tell him apart from Ron Kittle.

Leave Freddy in until his arm falls off.

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) How long before Paulie's completely bald? Paulie's going to get some plugs before that happens. I saw him out on the street last summer, I think he uses that spray paint stuff on his bald spot when he's not playing.

Konerko just said Jacque Jones is the best player he ever played against, period.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) LMAO.. that's gotta suck for all those people. 15K rain delay leaves little room to move on the concourse.. 35K has got to be comical. I bet the concourse is a steam bath with all those people there. I loooooooooove the club level.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) I still don't get it. Dave Littlefield is the GM of the Pirates. I believe Detroit acquired Shelton from the Pirates in the Rule 5 draft.
