QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 07:49 PM) The Rays announcers said that the GS by Carl was only the 2nd swing of the inning. I'm loving these Rays right now! Really? I watched the game and I never picked up on it only being the 2nd swing of the inning, even when 5 guys reached before him.

CARL CRAWFORD BTW, Joe Morgan, I heard today, said that Marmol is the best reliever in baseball. I firmly disagree- I'd take Rivera to get an out over any reliever EVER.

QUOTE (ChiSox35 @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 07:05 PM) J.P. Ricciardi rips into Adam Dunn and Adam Dunn in turn rips into Canadian currency (and Ricciardi too). "If anything happens, I ain't going to Toronto," Dunn said. "I can eliminate one team. I'm not converting my dollars to loonies and toonies just yet." Great quote there.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 03:31 PM) Plus Lebron is playing in the East which is by far the easier conference. I know T-Mac was in the East before too but his surrounding cast was probably worse than Lebrons since Hill could never stay on the court. I know, just take the Finals for example.

I'll one up all you guys, in terms of good news for the Hawks. from blog.canoe.ca (for what it's worth)

Dear WhiteSoxfan1986, Thome is slugging and hitting better against LHP's this year, so get it right. Thanks

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 05:16 PM) when you mean july do you mean June 26th at 6 pm CST on ESPN? Yeah, I was just going to edit that. On the day of the lottery, I'm 100% sure they said it was going to be in mid-July, but I just heard on SC it's next Thursday. My bad!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 03:57 PM) Everybody up here in Chicago says Rose to the Bulls is a lock, and by everybody I mean people in the know. Plus, Rose said today with the media he has yet to work out for, and doesn't have a workout scheduled with the Heat. That's a glaring hint if I've ever seen one with the draft just a week away. The draft is in July.

Who's the bigger mess- the Mets, or the Mariners?

I wonder if they could pry Hughes from NYY...

QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 03:07 PM) Against Lilly?? Give him a day and start him Saturday against Marquis His SLG is about 180 points higher against LHP's, and he's hitting .270 against LHP.

Just got home from the game- exciting, gave me a bit of a scare in the 2nd only to come back and just knock the ball around the yard. Now let's go out and win this upcoming series at the dump.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 10:25 PM) Have you even looked at his season stats or are you merely saying that because he had one bad outing? He's got a 2.88 ERA, is averaging 9 K/9, and he's averaging over 6 innings a start. Get real. Well, no. He had a bad outing vs the Cubs, and then went on the DL, and if I'm not mistaken, that was his first time on the DL. Now, he has another bad outing. Just not himself since the reports came out, that's all. Take it easy. Oh, and all the stuff the guy above me pointed out.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 11:44 PM) I would definitly take Swish over Johnson. Even with his poor first couple months, he has still managed to put up mostly better numbers than Johnson.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 09:50 PM) I'd say people were more frustrated with Toby's shoulder and Ozzie's judgment in ST than they were angry with Toby himself. Pretty much everyone loved the signing when it happened and he is definitely a better player than his production let on last season, he just couldn't function with that torn labrum. It's nice to see him have a bounce back season after being the worst player in baseball last year. I disagree- Andy Gonzalez was the worst player last year, and the worst player baseball has EVER seen.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 10:51 PM) Great game to go to. Does anyone know why the helicopters were circling the park after home runs? Maybe for views for news stations?? That one almost got smoked by the firework (pardon the pun)- Hawk was like "WOAHH".

Those damn Royals beat the Cards, just when it looked like the Cards might gain a game on the Cubs.

Indians lose (again), but the Twins win (again), Tiggers win (again), and Royals win (again). At least we gain a game on the Tribe.

Jake Peavy, off the 'roids?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 09:24 PM) I don't want any of those guys with the #1 pick though, I want much better than that. I'd take a 20/10 guy in Brand. But I agree, I'd much rather have Rose. He's a potential 20/10 guy with 10 being assists, and maybe even 4-6 boards a game.

Actually, with AJ and Toby over .300, we honestly may have the best hitting catching duo in baseball. TOBY

QUOTE (ChiSox35 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 09:39 PM) Can't forget Anderson. Had a nice catch too. There should be no getting excited about what we've done so far to the Pirates, only hope that we can continue it tomorrow. At the same time, great teams win the games they should win. While this wasn't done against the Rocks, it's relieving to see em back on track. Yeah, it's a shame we couldn't have won 1 more against COL- we'd be 10 games up and 24-10 at home.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 08:16 PM) Rough night for Alexei with the bat anyway. Seems like he always struggles when AJ gets the night off because then he hits #2. Maybe he feels more pressure up at the top of the order...

Q HALL (my ptc) OC SWISH BUEHRLE tomorrow

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 09:19 PM) Frankly I think Wise ought to be PHing for Thome here. Nahh, it's fine- Thome just took it right there.
