QUOTE (YASNY @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 03:55 PM) You know, I really didn't need to be reminded of that. I know, but that team had Johan and Hunter. This team doesn't.

QUOTE (mreye @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 11:14 AM) I respect the Twins and am glad they are doing well. The Sox play best when the pressure's on - makes 'em keep their games faces on. That wasn't the case in 2003. We had 7 games vs. the Twins down the stretch run. We went 2-5 and lost the division by 4 games.

QUOTE (Maxwell @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 09:02 AM) I disagree completely. I think he is obsessed with race, judging from hearing him speak. Then he must love that Rays outfield. I mean come on...Crawford, Upton, and Floyd? He must hate those days when Eric Hinske plays right field.

With the emergence of Swisher, Thome's turned himself into a jokester. How weird is that? Plus, I'm worried that they'll hurt each other in that dugout doing the jumping celebrations...lol. Did you see Swish yesterday? He got knocked back 5 feet after jumping to celebrate with Thome.

Let's sweep those Indians and kick them out of contention.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 12:11 AM) And A-Ram will be out at least the next 3 games. Wonder what that's really about...?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 30, 2008 -> 07:41 AM) IIRC, the Sox are 4-20 when they do NOT hit a homerun We were like 0-10 at one point when we've never hit a homer...

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 08:53 PM) Joe Morgan said it to Jon Miller on ESPN Sunday Baseball. He made the statement that the Chisox bullpen was the best he had ever seen in his baseball career. Now you can take that for what it's worth, or argue about it, or whatever, but I have a lot of respect for Joe Morgan and when a player and now broadcaster with his experience says that- well, I think it means something special. Oh god... Last year, in April, some guy on WSI started a thread saying last year's bullpen was one of the best he's ever seen. Oh...look what happened? Let's not jinx our bullpen this season. I understand last year's bullpen had David Aardsma and Ryan Bukvich and they're no Scott Linebrink or Octavio Dotel. But, sometimes, things come back to bite you in the ass.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 28, 2008 -> 11:43 AM) They should jinx themselves, their pitching staff has been performing over their heads and they have been unbelievably clutch. It wont last. Kevin Slowey just 3-hit the Brewers. WTF? Kevin Slowey? The guy we killed? Surprisingly, his ERA is 3.47.

That was more than weird... However, the Sox won a game like that against the Yankees in 1990.

I might as well make a sig out of that.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 29, 2008 -> 12:06 PM) Anyone wanna hunt down these two emos with me to "steal their lunch money"? I think the man-love has gone too far there...

I don't know if any of you guys noticed, but on TV, in the 7th inning right before Quentin's homer, they had a shot of Kerry Wood flicking somebody off with both of his hands. Here's a picture. Lol...

Now that's the kind of game you'd like to win. Carlos Quentin flexes his muscles. Get this man to the all-star game already. Same with Dye. Only bad part of today's game...Javier Vazquez and his inability to control his pitches.

QUOTE (Maxwell @ Jun 27, 2008 -> 05:15 PM) Way to pass a newborn through your vagina. You can put it on the board, yes. Hawk - "I'll tell ya what Fiesty, Alexei's wife has to be the best birth giver on this team. Of course, this team has no woman on it, so she must be the best." D.J. - "Right on, Hawk, Right on."

It was so good that I got bored towards the later innings. I'd like a sweep, thank you very much . Now, we have to hit Gallagher well tomorrow. You'll never know what you'll get with Javy. I think this is the start of Ryan Dumpster's demise.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 06:04 PM) In June, Alexei is hitting about .350 with 16 RBI. That's damn good production from your #8 hitter. Once he develops some patience and plate discipline, I think he would be a premium leadoff man.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 01:22 PM) Its a gatorade commercial, as noted previously. Like those ridiculous ones where they show Michael Vick throwing a football 200 yards, etc. And LeBron shooting 80 foot jump shots.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 05:15 PM) I don't follow the Cubs but I'm sure it's been a while since they lost a series at home? It's payback time this weekend. It sure as hell is.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 05:16 PM) Cardinals need to fix that bullpen and fast. When Ryan Franklin is your closer, yes, you should.

I personally voted for Buehrle. Danks or Dye would be great choices too.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 04:35 PM) f***IN HILARIOUS... He pulled has hammy thowing the balls and strikes clicker when he got ejected from the game. Then he tried walking it off acting like nothing happened. ROFL

After what happened last night, this is a breath of fresh air. I'm really concerned about Crede, he's on a huge cold streak. The back problems he's had recently sure don't help either.

Man, does Cleveland suck or what? With a Royals win (they're up 4-1 in the 6th), the Indians will be tied for dead last.

QUOTE (Felix @ Jun 25, 2008 -> 06:09 PM) Since when does saying someone is awesome defensively sound like a Derek Jeter comparison? According to the ESPN critics, Jeter is an awesome shortstop, on both offense and defense. That was part of the sarcasm. He was talking like Uribe could hit like Jeter and "field like a gold glove shortstop" like writers thought last year when they handed him his gold glove.
