QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 06:54 PM) Wieters has a lot more power. I don't see Richard getting out of this inning with the game tied. Well yeah, but in terms of being just a very good all around player. As someone who isn't too familiar with good-looking prospects who are in other teams' systems, do they have any other nice pieces down there?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 06:51 PM) Thank Quentin the Cubs didn't draft Wieters. Many say Wieters is similar to Mauer. I'm glad for Baltimore- like Hawk said earlier, it's a great baseball city and their fans are starving.

Don't mind O'Bama, but I heard this, and it was hilarious. I loved the part where he said nobody pays attention to the games at Wrigley and that he isn't a fairweather fan (intending that Cubs fans are).

Wieters and Jones are 2 nice pieces to rebuild off of for the O's.

Didn't that Fontenot kid from the Louisiana LLWS team throw 84, which is the equivalent to 104 mph?

Why did Crede even dive at the ball Hernandez hit? It was a slow chopper that could have been easily reached out for. I hate Crede- he just isn't very good. God forbid scoring runs on a medicore pitcher, too.

So aggravating.

This one hurts. Ozzie stuck with Horacio 1-hitter too long.

I hope DJC starts for us and can go 1+ innings. BTW- weather.com says isolated t-storms in Baltimore tomorrow.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 07:54 PM) Any idea who is gonna start that first game? Checked the box score, Vazquez, Jenks, and Linebrink are the only ones we used... Hope we hit a homer to win it...the thought of hitting a walk off home run in Baltimore is pretty funny It'd be weird celebrating while the crowd is booing.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 01:49 PM) that is the nastiest stuff i have ever seen in baseball - period. When he would follow up a 97mph fastball on the outside corner with a 69mph curve? forget about it. EDIT: for what it's worth, i think Joe Nathan is far and away the best reliever in baseball today, regardless of Krod's totals. Change that 97 to 93-94 and that's what Joakim Soria does currently.

Thank you, LAA

AJ is just awesome. One more reason for all the pricks to hate him. Thome was great today as was Sexei.

There's a store that does authentics very well. All-Stars Locations: Merrillville IN, Granger IN, and Benton Harbor MI. Contact numbers for directions: Merrillville- 2197691525 Benton Harbor- 2699348046 Granger- 5742719857 Only thing is, they don't ship out so you'd have to go to either of the 3. Merrillville is the one I go to and it's probably around 70 minutes from the SouthSide.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 10:00 PM) will the earth explode when the rays and twins play each other in a dome later this week? i don't think nostradomus could predict the outcome of that series, my money is on the twins though The next time they play is September 18.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 07:45 PM) This was a terrible terrible loss. The only good thing that can come out of it is Vazquez pitched great and last time we were embarassed by Tampa the Sox went on fire. All we can hope for now is that Buehrle minimizes the damage tommorow and prepare for a big series in baltimore where we have the extra game. Javy did that today and Danks did that yesterday, and we didn't win either. Can we please hit Sonnanstine? He isn't exactly Walter Johnson or anything.

7-5 LAA after 6. ANGELS WIN!! :headbang

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 06:17 PM) I moved out here with my ex-girlfriend, she got a job out here. I have my own software company so I can work anywhere in the world really as long as the internet and phone is reliable. I am broadcasting this to every sox talk member now. What you think is "hot" for a girl in Chicago is not even CLOSE to what we get out here. Not to mention, the women out here will NEVER, EVER in a million years nag on you because they know better. Really. I love Chicago. But I will never move back....it's just too good out here. Well, good luck. Anytime you want to post pictures from the country my roots come from in the SLAM forum, feel free.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 05:11 PM) I grew up on the southside of Chicago. I moved here in 2006. Believe it or not, I have met OTHER White Sox fans out here! Not many, but a few! God Bless you. What made you move there?

Can't help ya, sorry. But your sig is hilarious.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 06:06 PM) Thanks bro. You know what's funny, is if you asked 10 girls if they knew what baseball was 9 of them would say they have no clue. It doesn't stop them from being the most beautiful in the world though. Poland and the Ukraine. Unreal. If any sox talk member comes out to Warsaw PM me I will show you the town. The hell with the Sox, I am going out and going to pull some wool tonight...lets hope to scrape one out jutro (tomorrow in Polish) :-) How did you become a Sox fan in Poland?

Watch us get him and he's a bust. So they beat Washington today. MVBelliard and SilverSluggerWillie couldn't do it today, huh?

Yeah. With Q and Dye coming up, there's a good chance. BTW- Beckett's start gets moved back only to face us. What a damn joke.

QUOTE (griffey17 @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 06:01 PM) Just bought my Authentic Griffey Black Alternate jersey... I always wear an authentic hat... Why would you waste your money on that? He's going to be on the Sox for another month (hopefully 2).

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 05:52 PM) This will be the first time since April the White Sox have been 1.5 games out of first place. Marcum has fallen completely out of the major leagues after leading the AL in ERA in April and May, which means we will be lucky if Minnesota sees either Burnett or Halladay. The way Minnesota is playing with all the momentum on their side, and with Liriano's resurgence, they could sweep through Oakland and Seattle. If my adding is right, they will miss Halladay.
