At some point Jon and Cy Young have to be talked about. He's tied for second in wins, but his ERA will probably keep discussion to a minimum unless something magical happens between now and the end of the season

Last batter for Jon.

Get the next one, anyone warming up?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 03:06 PM) And Cotts could use some confidence. With mauer and Morneau in there lineup it would be nice to have two lefties that we could count on out of our pen. Not into complete game shut outs?

QUOTE(dagotony06 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 03:02 PM) The media make me sick. They just try to bait ozzie just to say something controversial. I like that Ozzie says what's on his mind, and doesn't hold back. There is nothing wrong with that. I understand that the world we live in now is all about political correctness, but that doesn't mean it's right. I have no problem at all with what Ozzie says, it's his opinion and he is entitled to it. If people don't like it, oh well. When he is speaking as the Manager of the White Sox and also represents the MLB, he has to live by the rules that they have in place. Also, there is probably some language in his contract about conduct detrimental to the team, etc. All of which could, and IMHO, will, get him in a jam his sense of humor and success will not get him out of.

QUOTE(mu mu @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 03:01 PM) It's not obvious to those of us at work and not watching the game. Usually when a player starts a game, he doesn't get pulled out. 10-0 lead, pitcher cruising, player that logs a lot of innings = pull him and let him rest.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:57 PM) Wow, awesome outing for Jon. I'd probably go to Cotts for the 9th considering we have this one wrapped up. That or Bmac. I figure both could use the work. 98 pitches so far. I'd leave him in. Give him the SHO

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:59 PM) Yeah but we're talking about P.A. guys. The Astros P.A. guy at the ballpark is annoying as hell. Oh, in that case, you are right. But I really hate the juice box. Almost everything about it.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:56 PM) Was there even a delay? I left for class around noon and just got back now. Short one.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:54 PM) He's HORRIBLE. Him and then the Astros guys are the 2 worst by far. And wow does Brian make it look easy. Covers 1/3 the earth indeed. After I got past the creepiness of Milo Hamilton, I've emjoyed the Astros broadcasts, but they are my ":home team".

I can't believe we had the only team in baseball without a single guy juicing, and any team that has hit as many homer runs as the Sox over the past 6 seaons, should be under suspicion. But I don't see who was as obvious as Sosa, Mac, I-Rod, Giambi

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 12:00 PM) Am I the only who would root for pretty much anyone besides Detroit? I think after all of the years of Tigers/Pistons/RedWings/Lions/Vipers hating, I couldn't ever root FOR a Detroit team, even if it were against someone like the Yankees or Red Sox... I think the only exception I could make would be against the Cubs, and since that could only happen in the World Series, I don't have to worry about that one... The Tigers are the only ones out of the group I could. I think they had vision, a multi-year plan, took some risks, and have a great season to show for it. I applaud that. I love their history. I'd rather kick their sorry ass out of the playoffs, but I'd cheer for them over all the other AL teams and every NL except the Astros

As much as I wanted to disagree, Oz will, at some point, say something to end his career. LOL

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:45 PM) Anyone know how many pitches JG is at after 7? 85/59

Nice day JD, enjoy the rest of the day off. 3 for 3 / 4 runs scored

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 02:37 PM) Uh.. save some for tomorrow please. Brings back those bad memories of 2004 Score 13 then 1, 0, 3, 15, 0, 1

Nice

It's not an intentional in the scorebook, but it should be

Was the battle to be allowed to sit anywhere on the bus, or was it to sit always at the front of the bus? If the driver had a request for younger children to sit up front where the driver could keep an eye on them, and fufilled that request, has she been unfairly labeled a racist? In other words, if she had assigned other kids to those seats, would it have made national news? Now, if there were empty seats they were not allowed to sit in, then by all means she's a racist idiot and should bever come in contact with humans again, but I would like to hear from her.

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 11:57 AM) better start printing up those new science textbooks That's what I was thinking. I'll bet Kansas will insist on versions with nine planets like God intended.

Play what?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 10:30 AM) yeah, $5.50 gets you a half chicken, a side, and a pita bread. In downtown Chicago that is a steal. Wow. He must be running some great volume through there to survive on $5.50 plates, or drinks are also $5.50??

QUOTE(juddling @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 10:57 AM) ...and in other news today...it was announced that the ACLU has filed suit in federal court on Pluto's behalf to keep it's 'planet' status. In a statement issued today the ACLU stated that it can't believe that in this day and age that size still matters.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 10:03 AM) wait wait wait... There is a place called Chicken Planet? QUOTE(mreye @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 10:05 AM) It's taking Pluto's place.
