Guido Evertime I hear somebody called that name I think of the stereotypical Italian: Short, high pitched voice, obsessed with restoring family values and showcasing the Italian flag on every item of cloting. I'm part Italian so I'm allowed to say it!

Nobody can top my dumbest moment. 8th Grade: Art teacher b****es at me for belching during class. Shes says "Excuse Me....." and I just stood there silent. "That's alright, come with me,"lady says. Brings me down to the office and yells that I was disrespectful to herself/classmates and disobedient to her request. Principal says either I can write a letter of apology to my art teacher or serve three days detention. I figure I'll just bulls*** and say I'm sorry, so I agree to write the damn letter. Next day in school I write a rather derrogatory letter (as a joke) during Social Studies to show my friends. I had no plans of turning it in, because in the letter it said I wanted to "paint her naked body" and called her a "whiney skank" among other things. (I was young and immature. At the moment it seemed right). Show it to my friends and they start laughing their asses off. Here comes my social studies teacher to see what the commotion is about. She takes the letter from my friend and is appaled by what I wrote. Immediately she exists the room and comes back with the principal. He tells me I'm in "deep s***" (in front of the class) and escorts me out. This was post-Columbine so teachers were uptight and unwilling to downplay the contents of the letter In the office is my art teacher crying her eyes out and several of my teachers are consoling her. I felt like such an asshole for doing it. My punishment: couldn't attend 8th grade class trip, any future dance, had a 5 day suspension, AND was kicked off the Track and Field team. Come back to school, every guy thinks I'm the s*** and every girl thinks I'm scum. This label stuck.........until NOW. Unbelievably, even my high school teachers got word of the incident. Freshman year I had my math teacher (a cool lady) ask me what happened last year that made every teacher hate me. Apparently, there was a coalition that made several phone calls warning how bad of a person I was. Thats why when I apply for a job in law enforcement, and a background check has to be run, I'm going to run into trouble. DAMN, didn't realize I would type this long of a message. Like I said, it was pretty f***ing stupid of me to do. Dumbest.......thing.......ever.

Whats best about this win is how well Damaso pitched. Sure the line wasn't quality DamasOWNED, but he's beginning to regain confidence. When he ended the 9th with a K and pumped his fist it assured me of better days to come. His breaking ball was snapping and his fastball was normal range (93-94). Was a little surprised when I saw a 97 mph flash across the screen in the 9th. The FSN radar. appear consistent all game so I have to believe he reached back a little. Onward to the juice box for a three game set. Danny Wright needs to keep this modest win streak going. :fthecubs

Give me a f***ing break! This guy knows every pitch our guys throw. 1-0 KC. Won't last long though.

One K, 11 to go for Buehrle. one out.

For anything less then a no hitter, Buehrle shouldn't exceed the 105 pitch count today. Buehrle (like Garland) threw more than 115 pitches his last outting. We may not have faith in our bullpen, but its very Cublike to over work your pitcher at the beginning of the season.

12 K's? I don't think any of our starters have had more than 4 K's in one game. For the 8.5 runs , that will come down eventually. With the s***ty bullpen, the Sox might have to score that much to win Lets go white sssssssssssssssssooooooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!!!

Any word on attendance? Haven't found a figure, but it looked dismal.

This is great! "I guarantee I'll hit high 90's by the all star break." Botch even called "BS" on Mike North because he thought the pitches which were hit out of the park were right down the middle.

Botch has balls. He's on the score right now. Says Ozzie still has confidence in him as his closer. He's taking questions from callers right now.....I hope someone rips him to shreds. Listening to him talking about hitting his spots and having good velocity makes me f***ing puke! He acts as if giving up long balls to Beltran and Sweeney was an abberation.

God is sending us another message that says "Botch sucks." We all knew it before, but due to his infinite wisdom he proved to all non-believers what us faithful have known forever; Botch implodes during pressure situations, and without his 99 mph fastball he's useless!

Bullpen. But there's nothing we can do about it at this point. Any GM willing to trade will exploit our situation, and most likely KW will get duped into giving up too much. Williams was confident going into this season that Koch would "rebound" and infact the bullpen could be better than last year. What a f***ing joke.

You're not human.... I was screaming at my TV when Koch gave up both home runs to Beltran and Sweeney. Thoguht there was no way Sox would win this, it seemed too perfect that the "never die" Royals make another comeback

sox win 10-9...... but botch still sucks.

This thread should be included in the Hall of fame. It will probably be funny as hell for someone to take the time and read through this. I must of changed my mind 10 or 11 times on whether they will win or lose.

WHAT A LUCK BREAK!!!!! That ball feel fair by one inch.

Bases loaded NO OUTS. How can the Sox not score atleast ONE run? Don't be blinded by a win (if we do), BOTCH blew it.

Full count. LEE!!!!!!!!

Clee, win this game for..........well, adkins. THINK SINGLE>

C-lee, think small.

Are the Sox going to need to score 10 runs to win every game?

Your optimism freightens me. Even if we win, the collapse will overshadow any dramatic comeback.

Adkins = New closer. He gets outs, no?

What a shame that Guillen has to endure Botchs f***ing s***tiness.
