AHAHAHAHAHA!

Scotty!

Damnit, I went away to do homework (shudder) when the Sox got up 7-0. WTF happened?

I use this place to get all my books, usually Amazon 3rd party ends up being the cheapest. You have to watch for "international editions" though, because you can't sell those back. The one time it happened to me (thermo book) it ended working out because I need it this semester anyway. http://www.krammin.com/

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 02:57 PM) It's not? Then what is? It is since the birth of the wild card. You don't have anything else to compare it to. Give me a better example then. I'm not saying that you're intentionally leaving out data. But you're acting like a team with 95 wins will never miss the playoffs because it hasn't happened in 10 tries yet.

You're only talking about 10 seasons. Thats not exactly a large sample size.

QUOTE(Wealz @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 12:26 PM) Well that would count as a PLUS for having Mackowiak in center. Anderson is the position player jewel of the farm system for the moment and is incredibly important to the team's future. That's why he should be handled with care. As far as Mackowiak goes, he's either good enough to play center or he isn't. It's that simple. He's not. Anderson clearly is. Its that simple.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) I read it as Brian needs to start hitting bombs now. Mea culpa. Chicks dig the long ball, man. Anyone want to figure out how many times Minn. and Det. have started their starting lineup?

Gas continues to fall. Down to 2.75 in Urbana.

QUOTE(Wealz @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 07:33 PM) Guillen's handling of Anderson, choosing which pitchers he faces, is a big reason why he has blossomed. Sure, it sucks to have Mackowiak in center at times, but that's the price you pay to make sure Anderson develops properly. You could blame Williams for not furnishing Guillen with a better alternative than Mackowiak in center. BS. Greg Walker correcting his swing is why he's hitting better. It still makes no sense to sit BA nearly as often as he does.

Great (unexpected) performances by both Mark and Pods. I think Pods' throw from LF to get the out at 2nd was a huge momentum-turning moment, and not just for this game. It just looked like everything was starting to click, and that the team really came out to play today.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 03:56 PM) Or for that matter, on terrorism? Seriously, declaring war on abstract thoughts, inanimate objects, or biological diseases is just dumb.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) I'm glad Buehrle is having a quickie. Not only is it good for him and the sox and us as fans, it gives me some more time to play madden Gives me time to drive my ass back down to school

Buerhle continues to cruise.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:44 PM) I hope he isn't pulling a contreras. I hope he's pulling an August '05 - May '06 Contreras

Well, it does appear that Podsednik gunning out the runner at 2nd has been a huge momentum shifting play. That, and Silva sucking.

Good thing BA was rested for todays game!

I'm kinda pissed when Uribe hits solo shots because its just going to encourage him to keep swinging for the fences.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:33 PM) Good thing he didn't show up today.

Whew! 6IP, 1 ER so far. go Buerhle go!

Jooooeeeee Creeeedddeeeee!

AJP! Nice HR call by DJ, too.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:14 PM) hell yes! that was huge! Momentum shifting huge?

Pods with hussle in the field, guns someone out?!?!?! My world is collapsing around me. this team came to play today.

1 pitch, 1 out. Nice to see it happen in favor of the Sox for once. Buerhle pitching well so far *knock on wood
