Did Danks lose a bet saying he has to have a new beard style every game?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 11:38 PM) Pauly will get some consideration because of his 16 home runs...but Teixeira/Morneau/MCab will probably make his chances slim to none. Paulie needs to hit like 20+ to get in.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 06:34 PM) Galarraga is now one of my favorite players. I love how classy he has been. Milt Pappas can sure learn some lessons from him. Galarraga is definitely the minority here. When a close pitch is called to break up a perfect game, it'd be hard to get over it. Speaking of Pappas: http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=5247591

What the hell just asked Pierce a question from FoxSports LA?

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 01:03 AM) You're joking right? Why would I want to see him throw a perfect game? I guess I am in the minority here but I don't give a s*** about anyone other than the White Sox.. im not watching a baseball game that does not involve the White Sox, nor do I have any desire to. I want every AL central team that is not from Chicago to fail, and fail miserably.. or in this case, hilariously.. I agree with this, though I don't mind the Royals.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 11:50 PM) I don't think you can suspend or fine an umpire for a human error. Stuff like that should be saved for Joe West, who had some sort of agenda and was calling balks that clearly weren't balks (they weren't even close) and throwing people out of the game for no reason. Joyce just made a mistake, a really bad mistake, but a mistake nontheless. I actually feel REALLY bad for Jim Joyce. The technology is there so that he shouldn't have to be the villian. If it were being used like it SHOULD (there should be replay on everything except ball/strike calls, and it's common sense), then he wouldn't have to live the rest of his life knowing he took a perfect game away. I know the umpires job is to get it right, but they are human. The technology is there so that this should never happen, and it's on Bud Selig and MLB that it's not being used. This is their fault more than it is Jim Joyce's, and I hope this is fixed VERY soon. I feel bad for Jim Joyce since he admitted fault. Replays should be allowed. But you know, Bud Selig will come out and say that human error makes the game fun.

Just overturn the damn play MLB and state that you did it because you are implementing a new replay rule for things like that. Calling it a bobbled ball is idiocy and classless.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 09:59 PM) I guess I just take the example of him being a whiney b**** several times and then him half assing it in this year's playoffs anytime the score didn't treat him well. I just don't like that attitude at all - and that comes across on the court larger then life. I can't disagree the guy's got a massive marketing machine though. He'd put asses in the seats for sure. I forget where, but I read he'd be a massive boon to the Chicago economy. Like, a couple billion boon. Also, it'd generate revenue for Reinsdorf, which in a fantastic world means we bid for bigger FA's in Soxdom and pay for drafting.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 09:53 PM) YOU DID IT, BOBBY! YOU REALLY DID IT!

I really love Paul Konerko. It'll suck to see him wear another teams uniform.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) I don't get it? Might as well completely destroy Thompson and Mitchell's futures. Play them while injured and never seeing anything above A ball. This current game has completely soured my outlook on the season.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 09:26 PM) I love how it's been called the first ever 28 out perfect game. Joyce better be careful, as Leyland will put his cigarette out on his arm and then Cabrera will pour alcohol on the wound. My dad just reminded me that his friend Milt Pappas is still pissed about losing his perfect bid, and that was 40 years ago. That makes Galarraga that much more amazing that he didn't even get mad right there.

6 more of those guys!

That was a really good catch. Too bad this season sucks.

Apparently, Rendon was drafted in the 27th round by the Braves in 2008. I wish we had half the scouting team that they have.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 06:34 PM) It's funny the trend is to say sick of safe picks when the Sox haven't drafted a safe pick in the first round since '06. Poreda may have had a limited upside, but he was anything but safe (I guess that speaks to how bad of a pick it was). I liked him, Gordon, and Mitchell. The problem is, everyone talks about the normal type of Sox draft pick, and it describes Kyle McCulloch more than any of those 3.

We haven't completely ruined a prospect for at least a year, so Thompson and Mitchell.

I really wish the Braves were buyers right now.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 08:13 PM) I'm not sure why this game is pushing me over the sell barrier, but it is. Same here, and I'm never in sell mode.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 08:04 PM) M-Cab and Leyland gave the umpire enough s***. Armando didn't have too. I was waiting for the M-Cab ejection to absolutely anger the Tigers.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 08:00 PM) All 15 people in attendance boo. Screw this, let's lose every game and get Rendon. As much as I'd hate to see this season end like that, I'm for it now.

Meanwhile, on the South Side, Gavin is a far cry from the guy who once flirted with no-no's.

Chances that MLB over turns a call that bad?

It's time to hire some new umpires MLB.
