Good start Alex.

We need to end this inning right here.

Beckham is just killing the ball right now.

Middle of the pack coming up, let's tie this game up.

Mauer doubles.

Pierre and Rios both with comebackers, the Rios one makes for a double play to end the inning.

Omar puts the F in Fundamentals.

This is as 'big game' as it gets Freddy.

On Thursday about 1 pm, I went to will call to pick up some tickets. Jeff Cox is in front of me trying to get in the park. "I need to get in the f***ing park. No I don't have an ID. I'm Jeff f***ing Cox. I'm the f***ing 3rd base coach. " He got in. Thats funny!

Starts tonight!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 02:57 AM) As hot as we've been, I thought we had the Twins where we wanted 'em. That's the disappointing thing about this game. It would have been nice to come back against the Twins. We're down 1-2 to the Thomies this series and they ain't got Morneau. Losing 3 of 4 would really be bad, even though we're on the road. As hot as we've been and as how s***ty they were before the break, this would be very disappointing start to the second half. A split would be fine. I've got a sneaky feeling we gonna get beat like 9-4 tomorrow. I was really hoping we would've won the Floyd game, Pavano has been very good this season. Mark pitched a good game besides the 2nd inning. With that said I think we're gonna win today and hit Blackburn around like his ERA shows, split the series.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 12:53 PM) I'd be glad if the Indians can just take 1 and at least split the series with Detroit. Indians win game 1.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) So, it's beginning to feel like RF is the position we should be trying to acquire someone for. Just DH Quentin the rest of the season, and make it so Andruw doesn't get far too many ABs. DeJesus, bat him first and Pierre last. DH Quentin.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 02:48 PM) Not sure why, but when I first glanced at that, the way you posted it, I thought it was position followed by player. I was looking forward to Andruw Jones catching, Paul Koernko in CF and Gavin Floyd playing 2B. I was lazy and copied it straight from Mark Gonzales' twitter, on another note I think beat writers realized it allows 140 characters and trying to take advantage of it. The hyphens are completely unnecessary IMHO

Pierre -- LF Ramirez -- SS Rios -- CF Konerko -- 1B Quentin -- DH AJ -- C Jones -- RF Viciedo -- 3B Beckham -- 2B Floyd -- RHP Whoever was guessing, nailed it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 04:41 PM) That's Pujols's nickname? Pretty sure ESPN anchors call him that.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 03:51 PM) 2 questions ptatc (and if you've answered either/both, my apologies): 1. Are you concerned about Peavy long term with his mechanics? 2. Apparently, the surgery he had is one that hasn't been done on a pitcher before. Is that a major concern? IMHO, and I'm no expert the second questions kind of answers the first one. Seems that Peavy uses his back/lat muscle when he throws more than anyone else and it finally gave up on him, I'm really skeptical about him ever being able to pitch the way he used to. Maybe dr. PTATC can chime in on this.

Putz, Thornton gets the 8th, Bobby closes it out.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) -MLB officials suspend Freddy Garcia, stating that he can't be as good as he's been therefore he must have a robotic arm -Brent Lillibridge demands that he be known as TBL on SoxTalk -Carlos Quentin's hair actually gets messed up after he hits a walk-off GS, rips off his helmet, and his teammates rub his head -Mark Buehrle is tossed from a game by Joe West when he strolls to the mound wearing a cowboy hat -Peavy, being the grinder that he is, learns how to pitch left-handed and starts a game in late September QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 03:44 PM) -Ozzie forces Lillibridge to bunt for singles because his constant extra base hits don't allow Guillen to hit and run. -AJ smashes his bat into the ground before an at bat, getting it out of the way so he can just walk to the dugout when he pops up. -Jones leans so far back to try to uppercut a fastball that he scrapes his right elbow on the ground. -A DJ weird attempt at humor is shoe horned into a conversation, met with silence by Farmer, and then driven into the ground as DJ assumes all the joke needed was to be repeated ad nauseum. My favorites by far.

Anyone know if there is any promotion for MLB.tv? Really don't wanna pay a full price when season is halfway done. Need my daily dose of the Sox, it's been a brutal week as I'm also an out of towner right now.

Has he been better the last two weeks? Pardon me, I wasn't able to watch the last 5 games or so

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) So, is Quentin an acceptable named for a white kid? Just do it already, take the wife out, buy her another ring? gotta do something here man.
