QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 11:55 AM) Wow. This AB=the season? I hate to overreact...but wow... Do you pinch hit with BA here?

QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:45 PM) Did anyone else catch Hawk insinuating that the White Sox bullpen is equal to Minnesota. I believe it was right before that same bullpen s*** themselves in the 6th. What an asshole. On paper you could possibly argue that. But looking at the performances in real life, and how guys like Cotts have gone backwards over the past month, unfortunately it's not the case.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 07:25 AM) I bbq'd a piece of chicken and had it with rice and sauteed mushrooms. It was delicious. BBQ'ing Chicken's just great, especially if you put some soy sauce and even a little honey on it.

On my deck of Arizona Diamondback playing cards, Javier Vazquez is the ace.

So those Swedes look good. Plus there's Miss Hops, Yeast and Barley IIRC.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 11:36 PM) I can't wait for this season to be over just because I am SO tired of the phrase "Unlike last year...." At least when this is over win los or draw the 07 team can stand on its own wheras this team is discovering how hard it is to repeat Yeah whatever happens this season, if we don't win World Series it's probably going to be seen as a failure from the majority of our fans. And I just find that dissappointing, especially when you have a look at how many good teams there are in the A.L this season.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 12:22 PM) Dannys Reyes is fat. Wel he just got a new $2M 2 year deal, so I suppose .............. (you know where I'm goin with this).

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 12:21 PM) The formula tonight was simple. Vaz till he started his blow up. Brandon for an inning or two. the piggy back we did with El Duque last year. Thornton/Mac in the 8th Jenks in the 9th Cotts enters the game if we are down by 5. Riske enters if we are down by 3. I have no arguments with that. Look my thoughts on Ozzie is that there are both positives and negatives to him, the main negative being his handling of the pen and the matchups he goes to etc. But people need to remember where he's taken this team in the space of a season and a half, and where we were before he came to the Southside.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) That's a close call, Ozzie vs. Hargrove. If we had Mike Hargrove we wouldn't actually have any good relievers, because they'd all be used up and on the DL with arm injuries.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 12:15 PM) Ozzie Guillen is, without question, the worst manager in the American League. That last half inning was a fireable offense, even if we win by 5. YES I WANT MIKE HARGROVE BABY!!!!!!!

Just get out of this inning Javy.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 11:48 AM) Ha, must feel like a post drunken dream world. Yeah it's kind of like a bizarro world. And his ERA is even below 5 right of this moment.

Waking up from my hangover, I see Javy has done very nicely so far. Hopefully he can keep it up.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 03:25 AM) All though the toilet might hear from you... After my 1st Jager Bomb I thought it may have come calling, but amazingly so far tonight, it hasn't (knock on wood).

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 03:21 AM) We are very likely the only Sox website around with a drunk Aussie right now. Yep so consider yourself very special right now. I've hit double figures on the amount of beers I've had tonight, and I also had some Jager Boms, and some other Vodka / Cocktail stuff mixed with Pepsi. So let's just say don;t expect to hear from me from at least another 12-18 hours from now.

EGGY'S just da man right now. B-Ham's got a nice rotation goin.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 03:16 AM) You always were a fruitcake. SnB, let's just say I tried to use your bar methods tonight (see my post in the Rant or Rave thread). And let's just say it ended up with 2 co-workers pashing and kissing hot chicks, and me well dancing and trying to pick up what as left on offer (and yes I am majorly pissed (or drunk as you Yanks call it) right now.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) I was gonna be happy if he got above .225. As the original BA supporter, I feel like I'm the only one who can criticize sometimes. I don't like all these "original" remarks here Heads. Either way, he always going to take time to settle in at the major league level, and now everyone can see, why he's going to a real important core part of this lineup for the next 5 seasons at least.

Joe Vavra has done a FANTASTIC job since he's come in as their hitting coach this season. Guys like Morneau has really flourished under him.

QUOTE(rafacosta @ Aug 25, 2006 -> 11:10 AM) Agst LHers he should switch with Thome... That I could live with. Dye has a much better OPS againt lefties than Thome, but Thome just crushes righties with a 1.206 OPS.

Jon's been absolutely huge the past few months since he's turned it around. If we end up making the playoffs, the other 4 starters can send something nice to Jon.

Yeah I heard about this a few hours ago. I suppose they're just trying to spice things up a little, and not go with the same old boring format that we've seen all before. Doubt it will help the ratings or anything though.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 10:49 PM) What I believe hurts Cotts is his delivery -- too much arm motion. May be difficult to have enough tilt on a slider, or properly grip an offspeed pitch. Finding good bullpen pieces is hard to do? Hell, compared to finding quality starting pitching it's simple. I'd atleast hope for management to give him an opportunity to start in Spring Training. Who exactly does it hurt? f***, I'll print him up a list of pitches -- and how to properly grip them -- from the internet and give it to him. Take it with him on the mound. He already possesses a good fastball. You can't teach velocity. However, you can develop pitches. Eh,who am I kidding? Guillen will immediately dismiss the idea. He just doesn't strike me as the kind of person who'd think outside of the proverbial box. Cotts' main issue has always been developing that off-speed pitch of his. He needs to get that sorted out ASAP, to get back to where he was last season. As for finding bullpen pieces, remember the state of our pen at the start of the season. We had a rookie left hander, Thornton (who could have done anything), Politte who most people rightfully thought would be in for a downer this season etc. We've been lucky to pick up Riske so cheaply, and getting MacDougall to bulk up the pen. But if you look at teams like Cleveland, they haven't been able to replace Howry, Riske and Rhodes from last season, and it's REALLY killed their chances this season of contending.

Well I had the Roasted Chicken Sub at Subway. I usually get it at work once a week, because it's better than any other sandwich place that's nearby. I would love to go back to the Paradise Bakery (or Cafe) in Glendale though, and get a Turkey Sandwich, and a Chocolate Chip Cookie, that was just heavenly.
