i'd really love a promising outing from cliff right here

puke

what a solid bench player we have.

QUOTE(THEWOOD @ May 7, 2006 -> 11:03 AM) I saw wicked about a year ago when the original crew was here in Chicago. I thought it was pretty decent, my girlfriend really enjoyed the play. where did the puke smiley go? oh, here it is. :puke

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 6, 2006 -> 07:18 PM) Me and a few family members went mushroom hunting today. Probably got 55 morels. f***in' iowa dude

i'm going to say it again.....elarton isn't that bad. If their is one game in this series i could stomach a loss, it would have been yesterday. With garland looking awful in his past starts and elarton's past success against us, I just had a feeling. It's amazing how everyone can forget a FANTASTIC past week because of one loss. We'll be fine guys

this loss would have been blamed on ozzie if jenks had shown up with anything decent, he looked pitiful and would have gotten lit up no matter what, it seems like.

this really irks me. Jenks has been nothing but solid lately, put him in in the 9th inning.

jenks is our closer, he should be out on the 9th.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 5, 2006 -> 08:29 PM) Didn't Elarton shut us down last time, too? His pitch count is pretty low. he really is the only respectable royals SP. He's pretty consistent. At least garland seems to be back on track, not too many balls being hit hard.

i would kill for some giordano's thin crust right now.

this royals lineup is absolutely brutal, if garland can't shut this team down, i'm real worried.

dear lord, just think about how many posts that is.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ May 4, 2006 -> 06:19 PM) THEWOOD made a very generous deal with us for his tickets, left them at will call, and everything went smoothly. Thanks again man! ^ we had a great time, thanks again

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 2, 2006 -> 03:39 PM) Today I figured we would have the crappy lineup. I probably would of rather have seen Gload in at 1st, Konerko at DH. But in general its a bit shocking to only see the starting 9 in 35% of our games. I dont even think we did that last year. ok, that's fine, I'll agree to that. In the past games, some of these bench guys being used is just puzzling but today wasn't one of those days.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 2, 2006 -> 03:33 PM) Our team is great and our offense rocks. Some of us are just upset that we only seen the full starting 9 in 35% of our games so far. Considering that 35% number and looking at our record, I am happy as hell. I would like to see Uribe pick it up a bit, so we can take some more pressure off of Anderson. with the amount of travel and a quick noon game after a pretty long game that started at 8pm the past night, I would have expected a few bench players in. Thome was out just because the guy needed a day off, period.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 2, 2006 -> 03:26 PM) Count is the real ace. I said Buehrle doesn't pitch well in high pressure games and/or against teams with good offenses. Guys like Contreras can shut them down. Buehrle regularly can't hold his own against them. yeah, his playoff starts blew.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 2, 2006 -> 01:34 PM) I don't think anyone cares to be perfectly honest. ^

we've had our chances...

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ May 2, 2006 -> 12:27 PM) Reading thru the thread, I thought this game was over 1/2 hour ago. gamethreads are like that.

graves in the pen.

AWFUL ab by joe there, but we get lucky. keep it rolling

sax packed with sox for joey. this is our shot.

i really wish he wasn't batting 4th
