I'll be 100% honest. I couldn't watch the 9th haha There was some bad juju all game. Reed is not that shut the door closer just yet haha

Reed's gonna face Pena/Upton/Joyce. Would love to get some insurance here

Let's get those 2 runs right back...

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2012 -> 11:55 AM) There should be a brawl today which will mean a couple sox suspensions. That would be THE DUMBEST thing to happen to the team right now. Losing players for multiple games when you're on a hot streak. Talk about a momentum killer...

Is it a slur to call Scott a douchebag? Cause I'm calling him that cause of his facial hair...

Hearing Hawk and Wimpy laughing like this is just awesome...

Jones can have control issues... Man if he comes to close inside, he's gonna get tossed and Hawk will incur some FCC fines haha

f*** it. Just tack on a bunch of runs, make it easy for the pen

5 with minimal damage from Quintana would be spectacular...

First Base Ballot If there is No God: Pujols Fielder Gonzalez Konerko Teixeira

At least the All-Star break won't get in the way of this mini-run like in '10...

So when does the first voting update come out so we can all have a simultaneous conniption?

Any picture of any pitcher, even one with the best mechanics in the world, looks horrifying to the human eye cause we as non-athletes can't throw the baseball like they can. Hell, any still photograph of something that to the human eye goes by in a second looks weird...

This one is gonna be tough...

Sale. Christ... I went in to see the Avengers (for the second time) and he had 11 K's and was down 1-0... So happy to see he was able to get the win and add 4 more K's to that line. Stupid Indians... You're not for real. Go away already...

Wimpy! Alright... that makes me smile.

Road Warriors

HUGE test. No one bought Cleveland (not even their fans) as a legit contender, they just happened to be in first place when they played them... Tampa Bay is and has been legit for the last 4 years. Here We Go...

Apparently it was not too much to ask for a sweep 3rd of the year. How many did they have all last year or 2010 even? Doesn't seem like they had that combined haha Even with Gavin sucking, I still felt like they were gonna win this one. Good on ya Boys....

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 27, 2012 -> 10:40 AM) Who else is 1b competition? Pujols, Fielder, Tex, Gonzalez are in this league, but none of them are hitting like the Captain. Doesn't matter who's hitting the best, it's who's more popular. All Four of those teams get National Spotlights. The White Sox don't. That's the bottom line. Also, all the talk of Dunn at DH, but we all know it'll probably be Ortiz...

Coop looked PISSED. Haha

And Bad Gavin shows up. Gonna have to be a slugfest again... Go to hell Gavin, Jesus....

f*** Yes! LOVE that line up. It's all on Gavin. He is either gonna dominate or get rocked. There has been no in between for him so far. I don't have the number in front of me but his ERA in wins is something like 1 and in losses its like 9+

I'll also pop on the old tin foil hat: I swear it seems like If it was a guy hitting almost .400 on ANY OTHER TEAM, no matter how good bad or average the team was performing or how much pub the team gets in mainstream media they would be a friggin LOCK. No matter what. Every year there seems to be a random rookie or sort of out of nowhere player who gets a push from ESPN and makes the team and it's never a member of the Chicago White Sox

I'll add what I said in the winner thread If there was ever a year a White Sox player would get voted in to START the All-Star game it would have to be the almost .400 hitting First Baseman on the South Side. I swear to God if ESPN profiled Paulie even a little bit he'd be a lock... But it'll just wind up being Prince or Pujols
