QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 09:53 PM) This game should not be this close. Yeah, I think it's pretty bad that a series against the lineup Quade is throwing out there has been this close. Washington has to be licking their chops.

With all of the s*** that's gone wrong this year, I can't fault Jesse Crain. He's been really good. Sub-3 ERA and sub-1 WHIP.

How was that slider not a strike but the one to Quentin was?

QUOTE (chiguy79 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 09:36 PM) I saw Peavy putting up the same line as Doug Davis...JP can put on his big boy pants and get over it. At least someone agrees with me. QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 09:48 PM) I'm watching on MLB.TV and they cut in at the end of showing it. Either way, STFU Jake. You didn't make pitches to stay in the game. Wow, 2 people.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) Post steroids? Wait, are you insinuating he was juicing? Up until 2008, his lowest games appeared in was 17. From 2009 until now, he's reached 17 once, 16 once, 5 once, and 3 once. So yes, I am.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 09:38 PM) You said Peavy is garbage, 5.2, 3 ER isn't garbage. 5.0 IP, 6 ER is, which is what Gavin Floyd gave up in game 1. So if Peavy is garbage according to you, then by YOUR logic, Floyd is worse than garbage. I came up with dogs***, would you like to use a different noun? I'm not basing this off of 1 game against the Cubs. What has Peavy done post-steroids in his career? I'd like to think he's made more DL stints since his Cy Young year than Adam Dunn has K's this year. What has he done in a Sox uniform? Are you satisfied? Maybe AJ is finally fed up with Peavy's careeralong with the vast majority of the fans. While that's unlikely, he realized Peavy was done tonight.

You're all absolutely correct. Pierzynski blows and Peavy is great. Next topic..

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 09:34 PM) So it's justified if the guy has been injured? Should AJ throw his hands in the "cut" sign towards his neck with Dunn going up to hit next time against a lefty? How would you describe Peavy's Sox career? Disappointing? Useless? I'll go with GARBAGE. How does that Dunn comparison apply here? Peavy WAS done. He was getting hit around by a AAA team with 100 pitches in the 5th inning.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 09:33 PM) If we're comparing careers, get back to me when Gavin Floyd wins a f***ing Cy Young. Oops. When did I make mention of Gavin Floyd, smartass?

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 09:31 PM) Because AJ sucks at baseball and I'm pretty willing to blame him for anything. He's 17 for his last 42 at the plate.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 09:31 PM) Piece of garbage? LOL, does that make Gavin Floyd dog s***? You're right. I forgot that Peavy has done anything worthy in the past 4 years. Oops.

I can't understand why AJ is taking so much heat on this board for most likely wanting Ozzie to take that piece of garbage out of the game.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 09:25 PM) AJ is a f***ing b****, and the whole league knows it. I can't wait til he's f***ing GONE. The whole league you're referring to would love to him on their team. You can't wait until he's gone? Well, I can't wait until that waste of f***ing money Peavy is gone.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 09:17 PM) Really Jake? Going to start arguing with your teammate in the dugout like that? How about you earn your damn salary? ^^^ Also, AJ has a 2 run triple today. Without that, Peavy would be lined up for the loss.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Feb 26, 2011 -> 03:43 PM) I think there has been a growing effort to shut down places like this. For example, there was a website http://borntrade.net that would sell what I assume to be knockoff jerseys and hats for cheap. That domain has since been shut down on the authority of the Dept. of Homeland Security. Having said that, you can google 'born trade' and see that they have a new website up and running selling the same stuff. The main fake jersey guy in the Chicago area was arrested around Christmas. I heard it was close to $500k sold. I'm happy about this, because one of my better friends is a guy I used to work for who owned a sports store. I use the word OWNED because fake jerseys and their easy access to getting them was the death of his business. Also, the fake jerseys look so bad. If you can buy a fake jersey for $50, why not buy the real one for $100+?

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 02:16 AM) yes! I just went to lids.com and you can get all the hats for the minor league teams! Thats my new goal to get Charlotte, Birmingham, Kannapolis, and Winston-Salem.. that's so cool I didn't know they had those.. No umpire hat though I think Lids just sells Charlotte's, not Birmingham's or the others.

Didn't the Sox wear a hat in 1959 with a sock on it with a wing off of it?

There were rumors during the season about Kane and Crawford for Ryan Miller, and according to ESPN1000, that was talked about within the Hawks organization seriously. However, I don't see Kane leaving. I think that would be a mistake. FWIW, I don't think Richards will come here. I'd like to add Sopel and maybe Erik Cole, plus re-sign Frolik, Campoli, and Brouwer (maybe Stalberg), but all of that might be impossible. I'd love to see them add Ryan Malone from Tampa, but it looks like he may be on his way to the Habs.

I thought this was hilarious. I'm watching CTL, and they asked Ozzie if he'd tade Hanley for himself, and his response: "I hope not because then who would I have to manage?"

QUOTE (soxsider11 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 11:44 PM) Now that they have jack mckeon they may be the best The Padres have Jack McKeon? Since when?

Have at it. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...569,full.column

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 11:31 PM) at least baseball tonight had konerko in part of their lead in What did they start with? Without checking or watching, I'd guess the 3rd worst team in baseball beating Boston in Fenway...?

Dodgers up on Detroit, Cleveland lost, Minnesota is going to win, KC lost. Boom.

I'm a big fashion guy when it comes to sports. I don't wear many of my jerseys much, unless their Sox ones to the games, but I collect cool looking jerseys. My 5 favorite, in no order: gray Marlins, gray Seattle, black White Sox, gray Yankees, white A's.

I know they swept the Nats last year, but does anyone see the similarities I do in this Cubs series vs the Washington one last year? The Sox barely scored in that series and it was an interleague series, and this could get them going with a W tomorrow. Of course, I think the Nats series was in the path of destruction on that 25-5 stretch, not the one to get it all going.
