Don't kill the messenger cw. I'm just telling you what was being said on Chicago Sports Radio. It wasn't just one caller either. I didn't see the HR Derby on ESPN since I was working, but I remember the ESPN commentators dual-cast on AM 1000 talking about how the crowd was "subdued" immediately before the Pujols "PA announcement" that I remarked about. You'd know better than me. You were there. I'm just relaying what was being reported to the fans at home and listening on the radio. That's all.

dealt to LA for 3 prospects and $$$$$. Also heard KW has been on the phone with Cashman of the Yanks trying to unload Billy Botch.

He's also 8-6 with a ton of walks. Willis deserved it more but Dusty never saw him pitch

All they were talking about on the SCORE and AM 1000. Did someone really have to get on the PA during Pujols last 2 strikes and tell the crowd to make some noise? If that's true, that's pathetic.

Give him time. How long was Bonds in the League before he put up those numbers?

I agree with Maury here. USCF has to be one of the worst ballparks for a HR Derby. Other than the new fan deck, what is there to shoot for? A cement concourse? The ad signs in LF and RF? Ugh!

I either read or heard somewhere that it was 458 ft. from home plate to the fan deck.

Wood probably shouldn't even be on the team. Dontrelle Willis should have been on the team from the beginning. Beat me to the punch there Clu. f*** Wood. Not an All-Star..... IMHBCO .

You're not going to The Game either? I admit, I have no desire to spend my money on the AS Game but if I had season tix like you with tix to the game, I'd go .

Discrimination!

The turnaround for Paulie is already underway. R Alomar will prove the Met's PbP man right and become a big disappointment for the White Sox too. Crede will hit .035 points higher in the second half and double his first half HR total. Everett will be extremely average in a White Sox uniform. MB will finish the second half with 6 more wins than he had in the first half and finish a game or two above .500 at seasons end. Colon will go on the DL. Maggs will be en fuego and finish the season with 45 HR's and a .299 avg. Of course, if the Sox don't get their s*** together, we may have to check some of these predictions at seasons end on another MLB messageboard . AND FIRE MANUEL!!!!!

We have green for this

Of course he did. Then again, Beane is a real GM. I can't understand how a White Sox fan can defend KW when it has been reported consistently among the people in the know that KW is one of the worst GM's in the league. Still can't figure out why Beane called KW, "..... one of the best and brightest..... GM's in the League"? Beane needs someone to fleece every now and again.

The throwback uni is obvious...but why don't they have throwback hats to go with them? Looks kinda silly, heh. They did have throw back hats. It is a printed S-O-X in white, surrounded by red print. It is the 1953 design. That pic doesn't show it very well, but trust me I watched the game and saw the hats. You're right ss2k3. They had throwback hats on. The only thing that wasn't a throwback were the batting helmets.

Congrats Esteban And grow a set.

He better start hitting the cut-off man in the second half

Gonna be 7. Last I heard the Royals were kicking Texas' ass.

Why? Old Style sucks. Probably why it is available at Wrigley Field .

Not at all

Did the White Sox just manufacture a run there with PK hitting the ball to RF advancing the runner to third then Carlos tagging on a fly out ? Who are these guys?

Konerko's now 4 for his last 11 with a HR. Hopefully he's breaking out of his slump.

Too bad it's not just the players. Lack of motivation starts from the very top of this Organization and trickles down.

Screw the AL. I hope they get killed. Were not going to the Series so I could care less if they lose... f*** you. Thomas don't belong on the team. HE did last week Even last week that was debatable.

I guess with some posters, FT is an AllStar every year . I didn't know the AllStar Game was about what a player has done for his franchise . I thought it was all about what a player did for his team the first-half of the season . Using that criteria, Loaiza is an AllStar. And why do you even call yourself a fan of the White Sox ? You're a fan of Frank Thomas. Aren't you the one that said earlier this week something to the effect of "Screw Everett and Loaiza" because they made the AllStar team and Frank f***ing Thomas didn't? Or was it that you hoped the AL lost cause your precious f***ing Frank wasn't voted an AllStar by either the fans, the players, or the manager. Should tell you something there. But I guess the only person that knows anything baseball is Roman . Screw the fans, screw the players (after all, what do they know about Thomas ), and screw Scioscia. Who the f*** does he think he is anyway not naming Frank Thomas onto the AllStar Team after all he's done for the White Sox franchise ? You heard it here folks. Didn't know the AllStar Game was a franchise player exhibition. PS..... don't tell Roman FT is not the White Sox current franchise player or he'll wish slow, painful death on a player like Maggs.

So should Maggs defer to Thomas like it was suggested that Everett do ?
