Our 9th place hitter today... 2-4, 1 run, 1 rbi

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 09:55 PM) No reason to waste Politte here when you have Jizzcan and Shingo to mop up in garbage time. I like it that Hermy might get another night off...

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 09:52 PM) why not let politte finish it? He is one of your top relievers... Save his arm for the series against San Diego. If you pitch him too much in a blow out, he won't be available tomorrow

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 09:50 PM) Hawk is silent for some reason He's thinking about that Chicken Parmesan he had for lunch and went back to the Hotel... (For those not watching the Game, Hawk has been talking about having the same thing for lunch three days in a row at their hotel)

There's our 5 RUN inning!!!! The last major league team to do so this season. Make that 6, now

CLIFF!!!! With the Butcher Boy!!! Throw to third nails the UMP!!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 09:37 PM) Didn't they win 7 straight before this series, or did I hear the Rockies broadcast wrong on that yesterday? 4 straight

Ah...there's the thunder...

The real game is a lot different from Fantasy Baseball, all right?!? You just can't bench anyone for a bad inning or game. You can't make outregeous trades for star players, especially in the beginning of June. Offensive stats aren't the only thing that matters. Just keep those things in mind, folks.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 08:47 AM) Can someone please post our record in the final games of series we've played in so far this year, to put a little more "stock" in this Ozzie in the 3rd game thing. We are 8-11 in the final game of a series. 5-7 when we are going for the sweep. Can someone do some more intensive research to see the line-up changes on those days?

Talented, funny and Mel Brooks' Muse... She will be missed. The lights on Broadway will be dimmed tonight in her honor. http://www.playbill.com/news/article/93413.html

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) I'll go out on a limb and say that we won't see 50-50 happen in our lifetime. What?? You don't think Scott Podsednik can get to 50 Stolen Bases??

Here is Dusty's exact quote in the Suntimes: ''They'll feel that because they can't use a big bat at DH, but we're at a disadvantage because we're on television every day. We're on when most teams are getting to the ballpark. They see us all the time. We rarely get to see American League games, so we're both at some disadvantage.'' He did go on to say during the pregame that they need to get a sports package to watch AL games... :headshake

I prefer Shovin' a fork in the toaster! One comment on Texseox's massive posting. A lot of those terms seem to be implying oral sex and not masterbation... Great search, though.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 06:21 PM) There's one with Buehrle and an Angel too. Is Roc (I'm calling him that from now on) the only one that's going to hell? Yeah, so far... Why is that?!?

There's one with Paulie and an Angel, too.

During the pre-game tonight, Dusty explained that teams, like the Blue Jays, who don't play the Cubs much at all have an advantage... They can watch the Cubs on TV. "We're on WGN, Fox, Comcast all the time...They can watch us and prepare" "We'd have to get a sports package, or something, to see other teams..." Oh Dusty.... :headshake

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,7434-1643498,00.html It deserved more...well at least for Eric Idle's book (script) for the show. It was fantastic here in Chicago. Plus another Chicago export, Light in the Piazza, also won numerous Tonys. Chicago: On top of the Nation in Arts and Sports

I got this feeling Chris Widger will have a important role in a victory today. 2-3, HR, and 2 rbis. Sox win 4-3...CC stays perfect at the Cell by getting the ND as his bullpen blows the tie in the late innings. MB goes 9 for #8!

QUOTE(Be Good @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 09:12 AM) No thank you, i'll take a better hitter at 3B, like Huff 2005 Stats: Chavez YEAR G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS BA OBP SLG OPS 2005 54 213 23 49 10 0 5 28 17 49 0 0 .230 .288.347.635 Huff YEAR G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS BA OBP SLG OPS 2005 52 191 18 47 8 2 4 32 20 32 6 2 .246 .324 .372 .696 You could change that statement to "just slightly" better. Huff only advantage right now is his price tag, just over $4,000,000. But Chavez has the gold gloves. Huff hasn't played 3b since last year and it still wasn't his main position. Both are coming off of stellar campaign the last couple years. It boils down to who you think will break out their funk.

Scouting report from Espn.com: BTW, he is 1-3 with a 6.40era with 6 starts against us. Some of those numbers could be from bullpen work, also. I like the fact he could be wild and allow a lot of basestealers. If our guys are patient, we should have a good game.

After the game, there was interesting stat posted on the scoreboard graphic on the TV broadcast. The White Sox were the last team in MLB this season to bat around in an inning. I knew we hadn't many big innings like previous years, but...wow.

QUOTE(owner1 @ Jun 4, 2005 -> 12:20 AM) I doubt you'll be back... Nice knowing you.

The example that comes to my mind is the Seattle in 2001 7=Jeff Nelson 8=Arthur Rhodes 9=Kaz Sasaki Those were 6 inning games, no doubt.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 01:18 PM) Here's the article about Shaq paying for the funeral. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...n.ap/index.html "I'd like to send my condolences to the Mikan family," O'Neal said after Miami beat Detroit 88-76 in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday night. "I heard they were having some trouble, some problems, so if you contact the Heat office, I would like to pay for the funeral." Classy.. I was just about to post a thread about this... Very Classy... Say what you want about Shaq...but the Big Man just showed me his Big Heart!
