Yay for stringing together hits. No AJ for Hall PH here? Alexei

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 02:30 PM) Hester is now holding out. Tillman, Kreutz, Dvoracek, and another player didn't show, either. Things looking up already...

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 03:32 PM) Obviously the last series there is a HUGE exception, but I think the Sox have played the Tigers well the last 2 years. Hopefully it is a veteran enough team to shake off this homestand and the last series and go give them hell The pitching match-ups IMO favor Detroit. Gavin has been semi-shakey, Verlander pitched very well last time out vs us and has pitched very well lately, and Miner's ERA is around 3.7. IMO, we have to win 1, and winning 2 or 3 is a bonus. In Minnesota, we have to win 2, 3, or 4.

What a catch by JD

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 03:30 PM) The same Gavin who has an ERA of 4.85 in his last 5 starts? What? With our "great" offense, 4.85 runs should keep us in the game.

QUOTE (alexgtp @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 02:27 PM) Why did ozzie get tossed watching freaking gamecast blows!! The 57th bad call by Rob Drake on strike 2, Swish was about to argue, Ozzie came in and did it himself.

YAY for Ozzie. Come on Carlos "The Offense" Quentin!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 03:17 PM) Let's see....the offense sucks, the defense sucks, the starting pitching besides Buehrle is tanking, and the bullpen is tanking. This upcoming road trip will define the season for the Sox....anything less than .500, and we're in trouble. I totally agree with you. But, if I made a post like this, it'd be all over. They'd be mocking this for weeks after each time we win a game.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 03:16 PM) This .222 hitter looked bad on 2 sliders so he throws him a fastball right there. I am afraid this game might be over With how average the Rangers pen is, it probably shouldn't be over. However, saying that, it more then likely is.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 03:06 PM) The unemployment list? Thats where Williams would have to sign up if he made that deal. I thought you said Richard was capable of taking over the 5th spot(this of course before you saw him make an actual start)? So you want to give up our starting SS who Jason is arguing should almost have equal value to Roberts, Fields, the Sox best prospect right now(I'm not counting Beckham), Richard, who we have covered, and someone else? For Brian Roberts? It was a sarcastic post toward DHABO. He said we'd have to give up 1 or 2 prospects for Roberts, so I made a sarcastic point by saying if that's all it took, we'd have no trouble getting it done.

Alexei Ramirez is something else. #1 web gem for sure...

Bob Gibson Madrigal

QUOTE (tonyho7476 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 03:00 PM) The crowd sounds very lethargic over the radio...is the place empty today? No. My guess is 30K+.

QUOTE (DBAH0 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 01:44 PM) The O's asking price Roberts is very big apparently, he is basically the "face of the franchise" after all. Hence it's gonna be tough to get him, you'd have to give up at least 1 if not 2 good prospects along with OC to get him. Is Orlando Hudson a FA after this season also FWIW? OC, Fields, Richard, and somebody else? Where can I sign up?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) The Sox lost the must win on Sunday. The season has been over for 3 days. I agree with you though, one thought for a miracle would be for KW to go get Geoff Blum back. He can play several positions terribly. Perhaps you should read the post following- I never read up on his stats as I guessed he was more near his career mark at .260. I then corrected myself.

Is it still 3.79 in Homewood, Joey? If so, I might have to go...

We single-handedly let Detroit back into this race. A loss today and they'll be only 4.5 back.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 02:48 PM) Konerko is some sort of bad right now. No, he's still not 100% and he's still a bit rusty. He'll be fine.

QUOTE (NYSox35 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 02:44 PM) This one ain't over It's going to be a run-fest from here on out. Our bullpen isn't what it was pre-Joe Morgan's dumb comment, and the guy in for Texas now is bad and I hope they bring in some more bad pitchers. Paulie continues to destroy the baseball.

If the season ended now, I wonder who would win MVP- Dye, Q, or Hamilton? Maybe Morneau or Kinsler??

More errors than hits. Wow..

Probably arouns 6-8 per year. Great news!

Let's go CR! Beat Millwood!

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 22, 2008 -> 11:37 PM) The press conference was today? Thanks for the update Bettman said it wasn't official and location is TBD. Either way, there will be tons upon tons of s*** seats. Didn't he say 3 weeks ago that the game being in Chicago wasn't official, either?
