Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 From Thursday's Southtown: Jon Garland found himself just 8 outs for writing a substantial check Wednesday night. Substantial to the tune of $75,000. He and Mark Buehrle made a "little personal bet" before the season started, stipulating the first one to pitch a no-hitter would take all. "To be honest, I would have been happy to write that check out" Garland said. "That's a bet I would like to lose. As long as I was there to see it happen, I wouldn't have minded at all."

Iguana Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 damn, I wish i could write a 75K check..... that's awesome though. Now if Jon could be more Jon than Judy the rest of the year and pitch like he can. Fisk where are you!!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I wonder if Fisk would consider coming in to work with the catchers and see if he can't improve them? Don't know how much it would help anyway but one never knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 damn, I wish i could write a 75K check..... Of course you can . . . . . . having it clear may be another issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I wonder if Fisk would consider coming in to work with the catchers and see if he can't improve them? Not under the current ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how much it would help anyway but one never knows. Being a great player doesn't automatically make a person a great coach. I think that the players that struggled to stay in the majors with less God given talent become better students of the game and can be of more help to players. I am a big Fisk fan and wish he was on better terms with the Sox organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I know Fisk hates JR but he did show up this year and said he did it for Ozzie alone. I wouldn't think Fisk would because of JR but Ozzie seems to have an effect on people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeportHeather Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 damn, I wish i could write a 75K check..... that's awesome though. Now if Jon could be more Jon than Judy the rest of the year and pitch like he can. Fisk where are you!!?? He will become more of a Jon if he can stop getting himself into the "big inning" where he seems to lose composure. Anyways, $75k is, I'm sure, more than a lot here make in a year. Perhaps he could still write that check, but for fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Damn that would have been sweet for Buehrle. Hopefully he'll pitch his next outing like this one but better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeportHeather Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Damn that would have been sweet for Buehrle. Hopefully he'll pitch his next outing like this one but better. Definitely, especially since it's against the Twins at home. It would be the ultimate way to send another message to those punks...especially Torri Hunter (I can't stand the guy).

YASNY Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Buehrle has owned the Twins. He needs to just keep doing what he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best you can hope from me is that I buy the first beer. You're right about Garland. You watch this guy pitch and you're left wondering if and when he's going to put it all together and be the stud you know he can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that allowed? Just asking because of the big fuss the NFL threw over Vermeil giving Morten Anderson a bottle of his family's wine (est. $500) for making a game winning FG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
