Reifert reports start time is 9:30.

9:15 start?

I just call him The Bridge.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 04:31 PM) This is why he needs to be our full time DH. Yep. Been clammoring for that since Spring Training.

Hell yeah, Andruw in the lineup again.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 04:05 PM) cst_sox Marquez said he was told he would work out of the bullpen for "a few days." Hudson is still on the radar for Sunday. MDGonzales Said surgery is likely, adding muscles and ligaments totally detached from bone Awesome, add a Mark McGwire bicep for the hell of it.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 12:16 AM) Somebody just called Rongey's show and said "hopefully Ozzie will play Jones tomorrow" so not everybody hates him. I definitely don't hate him, my Jones jersey is on the way....

I think Lillibridge felt a little nervous there since he got up-ended last time. He had some time to make that throw.

FEAR THE BRIDGE!

Andruw Jones son! What a BLAST!

Hawk - "Freddy should have been on the All-Star team" Umm....what? Maybe Hawk didn't realize they don't take 25 starting pitchers.

2-run HR by Rios!!! Oh wait.....

Morel went 2-4. AVG to .264 now.

Kenny stealing Lee away from the Twins sounds like something he would do. Can you imagine a rotation of ..... Buehrle, Peavy, Lee, Danks, Floyd (Garcia/Hudson) That would be pretty amazing.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 12:28 AM) He's not trying to hit the ball 400 feet every time, at least from what i've seen. Improved bat speed = not looking foolish so often. Except for when he wants to I guess. 428 footer, I still can't believe that.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 12:26 AM) Congrats on a great time, PMD. This is something Brooks would love to hear... I agree. They might even send her an autographed Alexei's shirt, a bobblehead, or maybe even a jersey of his. Either way, it's a really nice story and I am sure something he would like to read about.

QUOTE (PMD @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 12:21 AM) Game recap - Sox vs. Angels July 5, 2010 Okay, I am pretty sure I am now my niece's hero. Or heroine. Or however you want to say it. She was decked out in kind of generic Sox gear-- no player names or anything, which was fine. As per my usual, I was wearing my AJP jersey and black pants. Luckily we were not out in the sun or I would have roasted. And can I say that I have never seen the G lot so friggin packed??? It took forever to get in-- and tailgaters were everywhere. I loved it!! My niece stopped at one of the souvenir trailers in the parking lot and wanted a hat (even though I already got one for her-- apparently she wanted to pick one out on her own). The twenty bucks her grandma and grandpa gave her for the game disappeared instantly. I took her to one of the jersey shops inside the park, and I asked her what she wanted. She took a look around, and picked out an Alexei Ramirez t-shirt. I was sort of wondering why... and then she explained she likes his number because she is 10 years old. And because one of the guys on her Area 51 video game is named Ramirez. I think I need to try playing video games one of these days. I wanted a Danks t-shirt (having met him and knowing that he is an awesome human being, I'm a huge fan). So two t-shirts plus some little "kooky pens" and you can rack up 70 bucks on my Visa card... and the game hasn't even started yet. Luckily Auntie has budgeted for this excursion. We got inside the ballpark and I have to say right up front that I love-- absolutely LOVE-- Sox Park. The sights, the smells, the air itself is intoxicating. My niece is a shy kid, not really much for letting her hair down, and since this was her first game, she really didn't know much about what goes on in a baseball game outside of the game itself. She kind of sat there, took it all in, and tried to pretend I wasn't embarrassing her when I started headbanging to the AC/DC. I will say that she was THRILLED that her man Alexei knocked one right out of the park in the first inning. She is now his good luck charm and should be given scout seats to every home game. I, of course, will happily chaperone her. She also pretended not to notice that I could not help but start dancing whenever Lillibridge's at bat music came up. I couldn't help myself. Sorry. We discovered that she needs to learn the lyrics to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," "Na Na Hey Hey," and "Let's Go White Sox." Being the awesome aunt that I am, I will work on this with her. She did, however, concentrate on the game, and I was proud of her for looking like a miniature die-hard, baseball-savvy Sox fan. The reality was that I probably embarrassed the hell out of her, but I can live with that. My man AJ couldn't catch a break tonight, and for that I am sad. But the Sox kicked some LA Angels of Anaheim booty, and I don't think I will have much of a voice tomorrow. We stayed for the fireworks-- I always do-- and by the time we got back to the car, she looked at me and gave a little smile and said "That was AWESOME." I lost track of how much money fled my purse tonight, but it was totally worth it. The Sox won, I lost my voice, my niece had a ball, and it was one helluva night. And THAT'S a White Sox Winner!!! YESSSSS!!!! PMD I am pretty excited to take my nephew to a Sox game when he gets older. His mom and her side of the family are all pretty big Sox fans, so I probably won't be the first to be able to take him to a game, but I can't wait to take him regardless. Now, this may sound ignorant, since I am new to this sort of disease, but my nephew has Downs Syndrome, and I am wondering if people with Downs have some sort of information retention or unusual memory of certain things. I wonder this because I think it would be really awesome if he could rattle off all the White Sox players statistics, or info about them, or some sort of spectacular baseball knowledge. I know that my friend's brother has autism, and when he watches the credits for a movie, he never forgets what actor plays what character. He can tell you every voice of every cartoon on TV today. I don't know if Downs people have the same gift, but if they do, I really hope he can be my little baseball expert.

Q-uperman.

HOT FIRE!!!!!!!!! HE SCORCHED THAT BALL!!!

I really don't enjoy cooking shows, but if she is combining sports and players, I would definitely watch. Great idea, I'll vote a bunch of times.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 01:32 PM) I like Corey Hart, and him in right and Q at DH would be an improvement. But I think Hart is hitting way over his head and will come back to earth, plus he's a righty. And the Brewers said they don't plan to be sellers Yep, that's the main reason I don't want Kenny to look into Hart. I think whatever we trade would be more than what he is going to be worth in the future.

Where was that pitch?

"He has to throw it through a teacup"

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 09:23 PM) Lillibridge is actually doing his damndest to keep a spot when Teahen returns. Bless his little heart, he is smashing it right now.

FEAR THE BRIDGE!!!
