Ponson in trouble against twinkies....2 on no one out

http://www.rotoworld.com/display1.asp?spor...t=MLB&page=news ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sidney Ponson - S - Baltimore Orioles Jul 30 With contract talks going nowhere, Sidney Ponson is very much available going into the trade deadline. The Orioles want to make sure they'll get enough in return for Ponson to make it worth giving up the extra draft picks should he leave as a free agent. The White Sox reportedly turned down a deal that centered around Joe Crede. The Braves appear to be the favorites to land Ponson, but the Orioles aren't as interested in Wilson Betemit as they should be and may continue to insist on Johnny Estrada. Source: Baltimore Sun

You can take red ore green for Sox games....red is closer to the park

If it s an odd day, take the express purple line to downtown and then change to green line (total will not take more than 45-50 mins) If it is a weekend, the express does not work so it takes much more time (~1.5 hrs given you have to change)

whoa...

We better scorte some freaking runs in the first 3 innings or I am going to blow up here

That is what most prospects turn out .... mediocre.....think Kip Wells, Garland, Wright etc If only we had traded some of those when we needed one front line pitcher (and Schilling was available at the right price) in 2000, we might have gone to the series that year

If we get swept in these 4 games by the tribe, the Tribe will tie us with a 43-51 record..... Oh wait, they will win the tie breaker since they will be up 10-4 in the series this year

Does he even go back and read what he says? How can a man be so full of himself? I am not a big Sosa hater, but this is hilarious. ============================== Alfonseca has given up at least one run in seven of his last eight appearances, recording an 18.91 ERA since June 25. He has allowed 15 runs on 19 hits in 72/3 innings, which prompted loud booing from the crowd of 38,756 upon Alfonseca's arrival and exit. "No one can handle booing but me," Sosa said. "You have to be strong physically and mentally. Some guys it's going to affect more than others. He deserves an opportunity." http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines

I bet the dichotomy must be staggering....can anyone get that stat? # of wins by Sox by one # of wins by Sox by two # of losses by Sox by one # of losses by Sox by two

I know they are playing the world champs but it can only help us Hopefully the Rangers sweep those f***ing twinkies today too

:fyou Mark Buerhle....send that son of a b**** packing to St Louis too so he can enjoy beating the Sox in the world series like he wants the cards to do

GIDP still alive to end our misery

Oops, it is everett now...but once he pops up, then Maggs can end our misery with a GIDP

Thomas gets on base for overpaid Mr GIDP Magglio :fyou

At least we have our 3,4,5 coming up

He got an infield single Which means we are now open to the GIDP...f***

Oh f*** we are letting Olivo bat....YUCK I am sure he will hit a RBI now ... ha ha

With Valentin on 2nd can we please pinch hit for Olivo...he sucks with the bat Or should we keep the pinch hitter for the 9th inning with 2 outs?

At least we got 4 hits today

Man we suck at scoring right now ....jeesh swept by the freaking tigers....they better win this one ....ugh

Alomar walked

Have we played Cornejo before? If we have, we may be able to get 3 runs off him

Buehrle confesses Cardinals allegiance, but watches his words July 10, 2003 BY DOUG PADILLA STAFF REPORTER Advertisement DETROIT--The St. Louis Cardinals-Mark Buehrle connection just won't go away, as the White Sox left-hander went on a St. Louis sports-talk radio show this week. Buehrle, a native of suburban St. Louis, twice in the last two years has "joked'' during offseason banquets that he wanted to play for the Cardinals. Talk about being a huge fan. Twice during an interview Tuesday on KFNS 590-AM, Buehrle used the word "we'' when referring to the Cardinals. "That kills me whenever we get out of the playoffs or if we don't make it,'' Buehrle said on the air when asked how it feels when he sees the Cardinals eliminated from the postseason. "When I come [home] I get four tickets or eight tickets to go to the Cardinals during the postseason. Of course, I want to see the World Series come to St. Louis and they win. So it's not too good when they lose.'' Hosts Frank Cusumano and Tim McKernan laughed about trying to get Buehrle into more trouble, but to his credit, Buehrle did not take the bait. Buehrle was asked if while scoreboard watching, he is more concerned with the Cardinals result or the results of teams in his own division. He also was asked if it would be a bigger thrill to pitch in St. Louis' Busch Stadium or to pitch in the World Series. "I would say World Series,'' he said. "It's always been a lifetime dream to go to the World Series. But if I got a chance to pitch in St.Louis, either for them or against them, I think it would be a thrill, especially for my family, just to be able to watch me play.'' When asked about scoreboard watching, Buehrle sensed danger. "You're going to try and get me in trouble aren't you?'' he said. "I'm rooting on the Cardinals. I've always been a Cardinals fan. Any time I look up there on the American League side, I'm looking at the teams in front of us, and when I'm looking at the National League, I'm rooting on the Cardinals to win.'' A popular rumor in St. Louis is that the Sox would make an improbable deal of sending Buehrle to the Cardinals for outfielder J.D. Drew. Buehrle quashed that thought. "It's one of those things where I don't think the White Sox are going to get rid of me right now, especially since we went out and got Carl Everett to play center field,'' he said. Buehrle is arbitration-eligible after this season and is looking at a substantial raise from the $445,000 he is making this season. The Sox have Buehrle's rights for at least two more seasons. Buehrle (7-10, 4.34 ERA), whose next start is in Game 1 of a day-night doubleheader Saturday at Cleveland, has won his last five starts since ending a 12-start string without recording a victory. FLASHY OUTING: Tom Gordon kept things close in an eventual Sox defeat Tuesday when he shut down the Tigers in a bases-loaded, no-out situation in the eighth inning. He came on in relief of Damaso Marte to get back-to-back strikeouts, followed by a ground out. Gordon got out of a similar situation June 27 against the Cubs when he escaped a bases-loaded, one-out situation with a strikeout and a ground out. "I credit John Smoltz, I credit [Eric] Gagne, I credit all those guys who have [saved games] every day, day in and day out,'' Gordon said. "But I think some of the guys that should get most credit are the guys that set that up for them because they have the toughest time sometimes, and a save can be in the seventh inning.''
