QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Apr 25, 2010 -> 02:44 AM) I heard someone say that this was the first time we've had 2 HR's in the ninth to win it, could be true, but I remember this game in 2005: This was to TIE the game in the 9th, but here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/3aeolyn I was also at a game in Fenway Park in 2005 where Konerko and Iguchi homered off Schilling in the 9th but it only trimmed the lead to one run in a loss... Maybe there was a time in between 2005 and now where we did this to TIE or WIN the game in the 9th? If so I can't recall it... The stat was that it was the first time we had 2 straight games with walk of HRs at US Cellular Field, and the first time since like 1967. Did we have 2 HR off Nathan in like 2008 or something?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 11:19 PM) Yeah, I didn't think it was going to skyrocket so fast, if I sold now I'd already make like $200 on just a handful of shares and I don't even know if I've had it a full month yet. I was thinking I was going to buy it and hold it for several months and it'd be a steady climb. I think there is still some fuel left on this train though. God I love the stock market. My dad is the master of it, but I like I think I know a thing or two as well. We have made around 8 grand the past week or so. Our best month was during the winter when we made around $32,000 in a month.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 06:42 PM) Your link didn't work for me, but on the post game show, they said it was the first time ever for the Sox at US Cellular. No, I believe it was the first time at US Cellular field that the Sox have won 2 straight games w/ a walk-off HR.

QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 08:27 PM) When Rios hit it, Aardsma didn't even turn around to look. He just started walking from the mound to the dugout right after the ball hit the bat. LOL. Love it. His HR and Konerko's were gone off the bat. You can see the dugout and the crowd erupt as soon as contact was made.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 08:04 PM) Good thing we didn't lose today because of that stupid ass fan. Looks like Alex Rios saved that guy from some cyber flaming. More like smart fan. The runner was scoring from first no-matter what. He probably thought, like I did, that it was an automatic 2 bases for all runners and that it was not up to the umpire to decide if he could take a 3rd base.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 07:40 PM) Yeah Fox showed Kotsay, Floyd & Buehrle wearing them from what I remember. Mocking Andruw? Fans of Nelly?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 20, 2010 -> 09:57 PM) Like I said from the beginning, Andruw Jones is one of my favorite players, and while still hoping to get Thome, Damon, and Dye for DH to be safe, I really think Jones can break out and hit 25 HR next season with at least a .250 average and playing some outfield for us to give Quentin a rest. And to prove I have been a Jones fan, there is this.... http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/2453/dscn3026.jpg

Not sure if mods want to move this somewhere, but I wanted to keep a log of what % of our runs come from HR over the season. Hopefully I can update this at least once a week so I won't have to spend 20 minutes looking through boxscores again..... Opening day - 6 runs - 3 from HR 4/7 - 3 runs - 2 from HR 4/8 - 3 runs - 2 from HR 4/9 - 3 runs - 0 from HR 4/10 - 1 run - 0 from HR 4/11 - 5 runs - 4 from HR 4/12 - 8 runs - 4 from HR 4/13 - 2 runs - 2 from HR 4/14 - 11 runs - 5 from HR 4/15 - 3 runs - 3 from HR 4/16 - 2 runs - 1 from HR 4/17 - 2 runs - 0 from HR 4/18 - 4 runs - 0 from HR 4/20 - 4 runs - 2 from HR 4/21 - 0 runs - 0 from HR 4/22 - 2 runs - 1 from HR 4/23 - 7 runs - 4 from HR 4/24 - 5 runs - 3 from HR 4/25 - 3 runs - 1 from HR 4/27 - 2 runs - 0 from HR 4/28 - 5 runs - 3 from HR 4/29 - 7 runs - 3 from HR 4/30 - 4 runs - 3 from HR 5/1 - 7 runs - 4 from HR 5/2 - 3 runs - 3 from HR 5/3 - 5 runs - 1 from HR 5/4 - 2 runs - 1 from HR 5/5 - 9 runs - 4 from HR 5/6 - 0 runs - 0 from HR 5/7 - 4 runs - 4 from HR 5/8 - 7 runs - 2 from HR 5/9 - 7 runs - 1 from HR 5/11 - 5 runs - 0 from HR 5/12 - 2 runs - 0 from HR 5/14 - 1 run- 0 from HR 5/15 - 5 runs - 0 from HR 5/16 - 3 runs - 1 from HR 5/18 - 6 runs - 0 from HR 5/19 - 2 runs - 1 from HR 5/20 - 5 runs - 0 from HR 5/21 - 8 runs - 4 from HR 5/22 - 4 runs - 2 from HR 5/23 - 0 runs - 0 from HR 5/24 - 7 runs - 1 from HR 5/25 - 3 runs - 0 from HR 5/26 - 5 runs - 2 from HR 5/27 - 1 run - 1 from HR 5/28 - 4 runs - 3 from HR 5/29 - 5 runs - 3 from HR 5/30 - 8 runs - 5 from HR 6/1 - 6 runs - 1 from HR 6/2 - 5 runs - 3 from HR 6/3 - 4 runs - 4 from HR 6/4 - 1 run - 1 from HR 6/5 - 1 run - 0 from HR 6/6 - 8 runs - 2 from HR 6/8 - 2 runs - 2 from HR 6/9 - 15 runs - 7 from HR 6/10 - 3 runs - 2 from HR 6/11 - 10 runs - 4 from HR 6/12 - 2 runs - 0 from HR Total - 267 runs - 115 from HR = 43.1% of our runs are from HR.

The Clutch Dutch!

The Clutch Dutch! Andruw!

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) 5K's 6 batters. 7 batters.

Eric Brynes sure as s*** gives everything he has in the field.

OMG THE WORLD WAS OVER 10 MINUTES AGO, AND NOW IT IS TIED!!!!!! Seriously, you people need to temper the emotions.

THE SKY IS FALLING AGAIN!! AAHHHH!!!! Down by 1, no biggie.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 08:56 PM) The Braves are rumored to be one of the teams following Konerko closely. They're very unsure how the health of Troy Glaus will hold up. Who would you try and get? Melky?

That is exactly what we need of Alexei. He is so good as getting those types of hits, and that's just what he needs to continue to do.

Quentin's scream scared Tuiasosopo.

Nix just hit that harder than Vizquel ever will this season. Seriously... Nix > Viquel Jones > Kotsay It's really NOT that hard, Ozzie.

Hahaha, Andruw gave him the old "leg fake" on the steal. I love when players don't just slide straight into the glove.

Haha, looked like Ozzie mouthed "Hey! Get off the f***ing mound!" He looked pissed off that he is wasting so much time.

What, is Andruw trying to stop smoking? Looks like a nicotine patch on his neck...

Very nice job by Becks.

Maybe I should not have turned on the TV. Everything I have seen has been bad.

Paulie was not in a good position to stop that one.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) I posted this in another thread but it got looked over What teams are gonna be looking to acquire a closer?? and what might they give up for Jenks?? We've got Thornton, Santos, and Putz that look like they can all close, we know 2 of the 3 can and the other, Santos, just looks flat out unhittable. I'd put Santos or putz out there so you still have thornton in a lefty role with one of the RHers. Its obvious our team would benefit from adding a big bat and i think Jenks is the best expendable piece we have. one idea i got is Matt Gamel or Casey McGehee, Trevor Hoffman is getting to the end of his career and theres no room for both of these guys. Gerardo Parra. Dbacks have NO bullpen right now.
