QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) I hope that doesn't f*** with his head. Probably not, but you never know. He'll be remembered as 'that guy' that finally lost it for the AL Phil Hughes pitched into this jam...

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 09:43 PM) Could you make one without Thunderstruck as the backing music? I want to remix it, but that throws a monkey wrench into my plans. Yeah, I'll get you to that tomorrow.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 09:27 PM) They're new helmets designed by Rawlings apparently. They look so out of place.

Jake Peavy commercial sighting.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) Interesting players on Bulls Summer League roster, including McNeal, Sam Samuels, the Jack McClinton, and A.J. Ogilvy. Sam Samuels, lol.

I'm glad all of you like it. Hopefully, I can make one at the end of the year and it'll be filled with good things.

What's with these huge helmets guys like Wright, Braun, and Ethier are wearing?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 08:26 PM) Gordon Beckham commercial sighting! What commercial is this?

It'll be done in 5 minutes. You can download the raw file or watch it in slightly worse quality if you want. Edit: I lied, I accidentally navigated away from the upload page, it'll be another 5 minutes.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 08:01 PM) It gone. I deleted it cause the quality sucked.

I was thinking of doing an awesome production, where I showcase the Sox starting off well on opening day, then tanking with melodramatic background music and nothing but black and white. Then things explode back in color and you see them kicking ass with Thunderstruck in the background. Instead, I just put all of the good times together with Thunderstruck in the background, works for me. By the end of this, you will get tired of Hawk saying "Mercy" and "You can put it on the board, YES". List of highlights 1. Konerko's Opening Day home run puts Sox on the board for the year. 2. Buehrle's flip play 3. Rios' Opening Day ending catch. 4. Andruw's go-ahead single against the Twins. 5. Teahen's game-tying homer against the Jays. 6. Teahen's go-ahead triple against the Jays. 7. Andruw walks-off Seattle. 8. Rios walks-off Aardsma. 9. Konerko's homer helps sweep the Mariners 10. A.J.'s go-ahead double against the Yankees 11. Nix's grand slam (Just for Thunderbolt) 12. Lillibridge's 430 foot bomb 13. Rios' go-ahead single in Strasburg game. 14. Peavy's Shutout of the Nationals 15. Konerko's game-winning homer run against Atlanta 16. Quentin's three run shot off Zambrano 17. Konerko's go-ahead bomb off the Cubs 18. Klutchsay's go-ahead double in Arlington 19. Alexei's go-ahead shot in Arlington 20. Viciedo's first career home run 21. Danks' 2-hit shutout of the Angels 22. Andruw's 400th home run 23. Quentin's grand slam to ice the cake against KC. Watch/Download

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 05:21 PM) I'll keep repeating this, Kotsay would have to kill someone to be left off this team. They love him in the clubhouse. And, he's not been too bad the last month. Darin Erstad vol. 2.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) it's a running joke about a certain esteemed former poster I know, one game isn't going to make or break a season.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 05:14 PM) Yeah but I'll die trying. 2005 White Sox Baseball Win or Die Trying... I bet you'll be the first in line when they invent a time machine.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 04:54 PM) Like I said, not everybody can bat ninth. Like you said, it was Ozzie's choice to build this team. And since he chose Mark Kotsay over Jim Thome, people are going to be mad.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 04:50 PM) What kind of logic is that? The team is 25-5 and and you want to talk about the defense of a guy who is ON FIRE? That's not very logical to me. I think it "gets a little tiring" to nitpick at this present time. What if I told you that they could be 26-4 or 27-3 had they had a good defender out in right field? I hate how you're using the team's accomplishments as a crutch to defend somebody's weaknesses. You don't see me complaining about Alexei Ramirez's defense do you? I've actually applauded it numerous times. You can't start b****ing about something when the team is losing, but the minute the team starts winning, every flaw disappears from your mind, or so it seems. What happens when the team starts playing worse again? Are you going to remember all those flaws again and start b****ing? That makes you seem extremely bipolar and ignorant.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 04:44 PM) So the bad "lineup" b****ing daily comes down to Jones and Kotsay and if he rests somebody like Rios on a given day. There are just so many options when the roster is full of bad hitters. Yes, Ozzie wanted that roster (I added it for you). You're also forgetting about the batting order, which is of utter importance. Remember when Ozzie hit Rios BEHIND Kotsay? That was laughable. I agree that there's not much on this team in terms of good offense, there really hasn't been many cases of a guy who should play every day but is getting blocked by so and so (Viciedo might become that guy soon). A lot of the b****ing about this team has come from Ozzie hitting Mark Kotsay 5th, or batting Mark Kotsay 6th on almost a regular basis. People are pissed off that it's not Jim Thome, who is having a hell of a year up in Minnesota. But even if you gave Ozzie a bunch of good players, I don't know if he can create the best lineup. You should take a look at the stats of our leadoff man, our second place hitter, our DH, they're some pretty bad numbers.

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 04:36 PM) I don't know if you mean that the lineups were screwed up by the fans or not but Corey Hart is 2nd in homers and first in RBI's, why shouldn't he be starting? I don't really have a problem with Cliff Lee not starting, he has been in a prolific pitcher's park all year and David Price has done a hell of a job in the toughest division in baseball The problem with starting Corey Hart is that there's nobody to play center field...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 04:38 PM) Uh, don't guys in the lineup also play defense?? You want to talk Peavy? Yes he was great as well. I didn't include him as part of the lineup. He also deserves credit. You mentioned the defense? Uh, the guys in the lineup were the ones who played the defense. You also are insane for insinuating Ozzie mistreated Peavy by leaving him in the game. WTF? I'm not saying he left Peavy in too long, I'm saying he literally told Peavy to throw a shutout or lose by throwing out that AAA lineup to support him. And on that day, Beckham, Vizquel, and Alexei made some nice plays, they're usually regulars anyways, so that had nothing to do with lineup making. Greg, all of this b****ing from you is becoming contradictory. You're blaming us for b****ing by b****ing at us. See how this doesn't work out?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 04:18 PM) No offense, I think what you just wrote is downright laughable. Yeah we only won ... because. And "anybody" can hit so and so. We won both games and arguably the guys that rested the one day did well the next day. Ozzie was crucified even though he said Rios was tired and Konerko needed a day off or vice versa, I forget. As far as overall b****ing about the lineup every day, my point is no matter who you throw out there on this roster, you can b****. The overall roster is not hit-friendly. And yes, you can immediately come back and say, "Who wanted that roster? Ozzie!" How is that laughable? Jake Peavy threw a shutout, he threw one his best game as a White Sox. Without his performance and some good infield defense behind him, they probably lose that game. You talked like Ozzie won that game for us by resting both Rios and Konerko while giving no credit to the guy who shut the other team out. The fact that he left Peavy out there to dry with a AAA lineup when Peavy had complained about arm issues is f***ing sad, real supportive managing. What Ozzie could have done is rest one guy on one day and the other on the next. By getting rid of the ONLY positive offensive contributors on your team on that day is almost offensive suicide. Seriously, go look at that lineup again. Nobody had an OPS above .800, the only guy that was remotely close was Andruw Jones and he was in the midst of a huge cold streak.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 04:18 PM) yep. embarrassing. But these 5 plays won't break the whole season, remember that guys!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111110001010101010101010111 How can 5 plays make or break the season when one game can't? That said, I don't think people are pissed at these 5 plays, they're worried that it will continue.

Freddy should be fine as long as he doesn't hang his breaking ball. His fastball velocity doesn't really matter if all he does is throw junk up there.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 04:07 PM) Perfect example: Pierre's career numbers vs Lilly are the best on our team yet Ozzie benched him. Luckily he brought him in the 9th to get the only hit off Lilly. I almost think Ozzie plans this stuff out so he could look smart, haha.
