I can't believe the lack of national attention to this guy. He is absolutely dominant. 16 wins now and and ERA under 2.30. Considering he is only giving up a mere handful of hits a game these days, I think you have to consider him the best in the game right now. One more reason I don't want to see St. Louis if we make it that far. SFF

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 09:47 AM) It's kinda like the big 10 logo. It's hard to see the 11, but when you do, it's the first thing you see from then on. Similar, though different. In the Brewers logo, the same foreground item represents different things. The Big 10 logo, however, uses the background or "negative space". In psychology, I think it is called "figure/ground ambiguity". It is like the Chicago "C" on my avatar. If you look closely at the negative space, you will see a sock. SFF

You know, we can take it to this level if you want, but you are going to have to hear about the time when my wallet fell out of my pants at work...into the toilet...while I was sitting during a dump...and yes, I was just about finished when it happened :puke absolutely true SFF

Haha, I wonder if he is responsible for the rise of "batgirl" too, lol...

QUOTE(nvxplorer @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) The Twins are not going to catch the Sox. If the Sox go .500 the rest of the way, the Twins would have to go 44-14 to tie. Ironically that is quite similar to the record Oakland has built since they got hot I say let Oakland win. Let them win 45 or 50 of their remaining games and strut into Chicago thinking its a mere formality. Just let them... SFF

A game thread with ice cream, diarreah, male enhancement, and with a White Sox winner at the end. What more could you ask?

Yes, AJ! Way to go with the run scoring play!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) Dude, it would be horrible if we had Jenks hit someone. That would be a sight. He hit someone a couple appearances ago, didn't he. I didn't see it on TV so I don't know what kind of pitch it was, but IIRC it was the day he didn't have the 100mph heater going.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) Apparently. So if that's the case you all can stop giving me s*** about my opinion on this matter. I can see your point too. By the way, do you think there will be any tension if the boys on both teams wind up at the same Dairy Queen when they go for after-game treats?

In his remarks today, he says he could not explain how the steroids got into his body. WTF? Did aliens abduct him in his sleep or what?

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) because your going to get the cardinals :puke Does anyone want to tell a Sox fan from downstate why he is supposed to appreciate the Cardinals? Good mercy everyone down here is wearing red shirts over their erections and my game is pre-empted by one of their games 3 HOURS LATER? I am going to faint. Mods feel free to move this to a more appropriate forum if you need to. I don't feel that congenial right now

What the hell? Anyone else from downstate able to answer this. Why is our Fox affiliate not carrying the game this afternoon? ARGHHHHH!!!! SFF

Stark's comments are odd. I was watching BBTN around that time and there was no mention of the White Sox at all during the trade rumor talk. I mean none. SFF

If they get Wagner, he will only be around for the rest of the year, but that's acceptable. Wagner would be the "bridge" to Jenks in 2006. Meanwhile, there is a World Series trophy to win before that.

Hello, Red Sox management, this is Kenny Williams. In return for Manny Ramirez, I am prepared to offer you the Charlotte and Birmingham rosters; and your grandson may have Scott Podsednik and Lisa Dergan's future daughter's hand in marriage. SFF

I hate to say it, but I am resigned to the fact his career is effectively finished. With his injury history and the weight that ankle has to support, even if he did come back he might as well be walking on a light bulb

Such irony. There was talk in another thread saying the post all star break malaise this year doesn't compare to 2000 because we had to deal with injuries then. I was wondering, rather then buying out his contract, could the Sox simply "convert" him from a rostered player to the highest paid bench coach in major league history? SFF

Yep, many of their games are against international teams and others are against American teams who are not officially part of the league. I know there is one opponent who isn't part of the league and plays a partial season but will play a full time schedule and join the league next year. I think if you go to the home page of the league itself there is a place that describes how that works (that's how I found out anyway). And I must add, Jennie Finch pitches for the Chicago Bandits! SFF

Well in the time since these rumors began, BMac has pitched two stellar games in Charlotte. Not only is the idea of this trade getting old, but it is losing its attraction as well... SFF

If I were KW, I guess I could always make an offer. I would have to require that Boston pick up 30% of his contract, that we give up no more than two full time starters and two top level propsects, and that Manny sign a clause that he must wear a uniform that fits him. SFF
