QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 09:36 PM) Walkoff grand slam for Hafner. They're going to be tough. I think it's either the Twins or Indians. DET has too many issues with Porcello and Scherzer, and who knows how long Penny and Verlander can stand up to the wear and tear. DET also has a ton of bullpen/relief issues to deal with. Minnesota looks to head into the 2nd half with a ton of momentum.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 09:28 PM) Santiago's fastball looks a lot like the Johan Santana fastball of old. We might have the next member of our rotation for 2012. Who would have predicted Hector Santiago and not Sale? Did anyone even have this guy for AAP? No more Morel or Omar at #2. Dunn and Rios should never again be higher than 6-7-8.

Ramirez 4 for his last 37. I can't remember a line-up so collectively cold in recent memory. Just AJ and Pierre are alive. Even Paulie's in a mini-slump. Mark Teahen sighting. Pavano slams down the rosin bag, visions of blowing a 7-0 lead the last time out (well, he left down 7-4 and then the bullpen further imploded). Lousy swing by Beckham. That's a line drive in the box score, Gordon.

Official greg don't jump off a ledge until Sunday thread
caulfield12 replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
For some reason, I just had a vision of Greg as Leonardo DiCaprio in Inception urging his wife not to jump. Blackburn against Floyd, that's not exactly confidence-inspiring. On paper, it's the worst match-up of the series for the Sox. -
QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 08:29 PM) Huh? In no way was I saying the bad F word. It was me trying to say Fire Ozzie Guillen without breaking the "no fire" streak in the thread. Sorry if any confusion. I was joking. Well, this still isn't worse than the game Freddy Garcia started early in the 2009 season that we gave up 20+. Let's go, Royals. In the process of cheering for teams playing CLE and DET, we just might get passed by the Twins. It's kind of funny since they were 20 games below .500 this season.

Humber now over a 3.00 ERA. And out of the ballgame. And the deluge continues. With 28 losses out of 35, you'd almost be tempted to bet against the White Sox tmrw. 8 wins in a row for the Twins. But I could never, ever do that. It would be the game the White Sox win and you'd end up kicking yourself for weeks.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 08:21 PM) I dislike Ozzie as much as anyone, but this just isn't the Sox year so far. No manager in baseball could have this group of players playing hard. Something that's interesting to think of is that maybe the Sox need to go away from bringing in guys with a reputation of not being "winning" players. Dunn and Rios definitely had that reputation coming into the year. Javy too. Interestingly, Swisher and Cabrera were the players with the consistent "winning traditions" in their backgrounds (and have continued to be). We did bring in Crain, and he's been as good (or better) than expected. Oops, I guess things can get worse. Teahen, what the hell was up with that freaking lollipop throw???? Konerko falling apart. Pathetic. Beckham wasn't paying attention on that play, either.
