we're making robertson look pretty good too.

to quote Happy Gillmore

robertson-bonderman "who gives a s***"

fyi for all you illini fans. deron willliams just got taken #3 overall by the utah jazz.

Highest an Illini player has ever been taken in the draft.

Hawk: "I was talking to Ted Williams one day and I said Joe...."

 

LOL, he corrected himself but it was still funny.

HE GAWN. Guillen Ks.

 

2 down.

Rondell with a 2 out single.

at this rate the game will be over at 7:30

I hate 12-2 blowouts and here's why...

 

A pitcher pitches like crap one day (Mitre on Friday) and most of our offense gets a homer and so the next few games everyone thinks they are Barry Bonds and swings for the fences at first pitches..

 

We have been winning because of singles, walks, stolen bases, etc....if a pitcher knows you are going TO SWING AT EVERY FREAKING PITCH it is easy for them...

 

I just hate the 10 runs or more offensive output because they forget the basics..

In absolutely no way is this a sky is falling statement, but if we don't play solid baseball this week, we'll be lucky to have a lead over 5 games over the Twins.

 

I would say it is a good bet that we will be around 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 up at the end of the week. Just a matter of scheduling. Twins should win every game this week, while I'd love to win 3. 6 1/2 would be a real feat I think at this point.

just turned on the game, howd they score?

I ROd grounds out

 

Inning over.

 

1-0 tigger after 3.

Grand Slam.

FC for Ivan....inning over. Anyone else thinking "Man, we shoulda picked up Polanco."

didn't the Sox go into the tank last year after the Cubs series at home?

It's still early to tell, but I'm wondering if our offense is better off with someone like Everett in the order (when he's swinging well) than Frank Thomas. Now, I like Frank as much as anyone, but he's turned into an all-or-nothing player now. I'm not so sure how that approach will work with this cast of players we have.

We had no one we could give up like Urbina. Not only that, Polanco was still owed a lot of money this season.

They woulda taken Jizzcan.

No - they actually played well for a few weeks after that..

 

They tanked after Minny swept us at home..

base hit. widger threw the ball into cente on the steal attempt, advanced the runner to third. base hit up the middle.

Haha, Franks been talking to umps a lot lately.

Frank looks good tonight

9-3 with Frank in the line-up. As I say this, the Ump doesn't give Frank a time-out and he K's.

Frank Ks

 

1 out

This team is f***ing sleep-walking. That's a bulls*** call by the umpire though. Thomas deserves more respect than that. I guarantee you that Pudge Rodriguez would have got the timeout call.

That would be correct.

WTF was that? Seems this home ump has a vendetta against Frank. Rung him up late in the 1st and now this.

PK walks. 1 on for Aaron.
