if JD is gonna win this game, he's gonna have to hit the slider

it's up to JD or if he gets walked, Thome.. wonder if they'll bring in Zumaya to face Thome

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 10:22 PM) How about another homer to right field like he did vs Marmol? farnsworth pitching him outside, he needs to just put it in right field

you can just feel the momentum changing in this one guys.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 10:15 PM) priceless reaction from BA in the dugout

" I don't believe....what I just saw.." wow

figured carlos would get on, let's put this one away bobby... righty/righty matchup no meatballs..

this umpire is flipping coins tonight

alexei is a f***ing stud

QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 10:01 PM) speaking of rings... how awesome would it be if we could get Griffey and Thome, two of the best players (on and off the field) to play the game in the past 20 years, their first ever world series rings in the same year? tell me about it, it's all i think about everyday, and i'm serious about that griffey and thome are two of my alltime favorite players, especially thome being that i'm about 10 minutes away from where he grew up, he's a big part of rural central IL "baseball lore" you could say imagine the storylines if we made the playoffs, imagine them again if we somehow make the WS, it would be ridiculous. it would be second only to the cubs IMO

Carrasco pitching like he wants a ring, maybe the desire will spread to everyone else on our pitching staff seriously he's pitched great since we've brought him up, if he can maintain this the rest of the year I would love to see him on the club next year i understand he's a career high-4 ERA guy, but he's pitching himself into a job IMO

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 09:52 PM) Don't you hate it when a team claws back into the game after trailing 6-1. wanna know what I hate? when our pitchers f***ing suck

hey guys, thank god we're at home lolz!! nice outing, gavin.

Joel Zumaya just named, officially, Detroit Tigers closer. http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic...1129/SPORTS0104

can't believe Konerko is playing 1st with Swisher on the bench, well I guess I CAN believe it, it's just ridiculous IMO

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 04:26 PM) Only 37.1 innings in AAA. a broadcaster on.... one of the channels, i don't remember which, said they had recalled him from single-A im guessing that was misinformation

man the crowd is going to be deafening when Griffey takes the field, i wish i lived closer to chicago

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 02:04 PM) I would agree. Whisler just doesn't have major league stuff (look at K numbers, he just doesn't miss bats) and that is a recipe for disaster. Poreda is the best bet for Sox minor leaguer performing well in the majors and that is a long shot right now too because he is still young and raw and never pitched above AA as well his lack of secondary pitches. neither had Samardja for the cubs, had he?

Adam Russel recalled from Charlotte, guess he's replacing Richard

curious what the reason was to why Ozzie was suspended, was it his admission for 'protecting his players', or was it because he got into an arguement with the umpires?

4-0 in the 3rd, twins thank god they're on the road

i'm hearing 5 game suspension for guillen, for admitting he threw at hitters? i wonder if this is true or just some twins fan starting a rumor, i cant find any details on any suspensions

QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 09:23 PM) Appaently the White Sox received an apology from the umpires today...After reviewing the tape of the game, they decided that Carassco was not throwing at Olivo afterall...FWIW, its not often any employee of MLB admits they were wrong i wonder if any sox players or ozzie will be getting any fines/suspensions then? and only Olivo+Greinke will be receiving them?

we face better teams. they face the cellar.
