And remember this is the first win of whats going to be a nice winning streak (ie the Sox are gonna go on a roll winning series after series).

I honestly believe this as well. The offense just was so impressive tonight, it's almost liked something clicked add that to the pickmeup bmac gave to this team, I can easily see a nice winning streak coming along.

One thing for BMac, he needs to eat a couple burgers and hit the weights. He's skinny as a rail. We should keep him in Chicago just to beef him up a bit with all the great food this town has to offer.

 

Seriously, get that guy to Wendy's STAT!

 

I think Brandon will come back in 2006 with at least 15 extra pounds. And I bet 2 mph more on his fastball.

If thats true im going to expect great things from him. Although im just going to warn people dont get 2 happy about our offense we are playing the rangers in Arlington.

Congrats Brandon on an absolutely stellar performance and that first big league W.

Beautiful performance by BMac, he just flast out shut down the Rangers.

i cant believe he gave up two hits. This kid is so overrated. Next thing you know he's gonna be giving up 3 or 4 hits.

Brandon McCarthy just went out there and absolutely pwned the Texas Rangers offense that had kicked the s*** out of Buehrle and Garland the last two games. Think about that for a second. He didn't shutdown the Royals or something, this was one of the best offenses in baseball, and they didn't have a chance against Brandon.

 

 

Congrats Brandon, but please pardon some of us for feeling a great amount of elation for your first major league win. Many of us have followed your career in great detail ever since you and your dad registered here a couple of years ago, and it feels like we know you. All of us at Soxtalk are so proud to have followed your first win, because it was one of our own that went out there and did it.

 

Here is to many, many more, and a long healthy and rich career as a Chicago White Sox.

 

Hopefully they brought in a forklift for your beer shower so you could really enjoy it

 

Brandon--

 

I love you.

Lyrics for Song: Tall Drink Of Water

Lyrics for Album: The Speed Of Grace

 

You can't run from your blues

You can't waltz across Texas in a beat up Subaru

So I sat a bar down the street from Pete's garage

Then you walked in,like a long legged,sweet mirage

 

And I could stay till the wells run dry

I could stay till wells run dry

But a tall drink of water ia all I need

A tall drink of water in faded jeans

 

I could run or I could ask

Could I dip into your loving cup with a crystal glass?

I've been looking for a cowboy with a sense of poetry

I've been looking for a man I want but I don't need

 

And I could stay till the wells run dry

I could stay till the wells run dry

But a tall drink of water will get me by

A tall drink of water with big dark eyes

 

Baby nothing's as wild as a woman

With a broken heart

I'm just looking for a place

A place to start

 

Check the tyres,pump the gas

While the blacktop hisses like a snake in the burning grass

Baby, Amarillo's as hot as a barbecue

But not nearly enough for a man like you

 

And I could stay till the wells run dry

I could stay till the wells run dry

I could stay till the wells run dry

But a tall drink of water will last for miles

A tall drink of water makes me smile

 

It makes me smile (Tall drink of water)

Yes a tall drink of water (Tall drink of water)

Tall drink of water (Tall drink of water)

Sure feels good (Tall drink of water)

Thank you baby

After Buerhle and Garland got their assess beat, good to see BMAC shut them down!

Was hoping to see a shaving cream pie on the post game but nope!

What road trip it's been for the Sox up-and-comers:

 

Jenks (1st ML save)

 

McCarthy (1st ML win) well deserved

 

Anderson (not 1, but 2 HRs off Felix Hernandez)

 

nice inning by Bajenaru

Brandon shut down an absolutely explosive offensive machine.

 

Congrats Brandon! Fantastic outing!

 

Many more to come on the Southside of Chicago!

Was the reason Ozzie took him out the pitch count? How many did he have?

114?

props Brandon props.

BMAC

cheers, and to many more

Congrats BMac on your 1st ML win !!!

 

If he comes back with 15 added lbs. I will be very surprised. With that kind of frame it is extremely difficult to add weight. I should know because I am a"tall drink of water" myself. But then again I never had a personal trainer. He can add a few lbs. to his legs and upper body but that isnt a guarantee for more speed on the fastball. If extra muscle messes with a fluid motion it could hinder it. If he can add 6-8 extra lbs that should be good. He will fill out as he ages. (Everyone kept telling me that but it never happened.)

Brandon--

 

I love you.

 

Soxy

Your a luck man BMac....she uses the word "cooter" Congrants BMac!

Yeah Brandon. Hopefully this is the first of many for you in a white sox uniform.

Buehrle, Garland, and Hernandez all get the snot beat out of them, yet, it's B-MAC who comes through when we so desperately need it. Go figure.

I thought that too....I just shook my head. Love the BMac performance...but the experienced starters with the stats couldn't do s***.
