July 19, 200817 yr Tonight could be an excellent night. 1. Sox win 2. Cubs lose 3. Cards up 9-7 in the 8th. Hopefully their pen doesn't implode like usual. 4. Brewers up on SF and Sabathia is cruising.

July 19, 200817 yr Author Guillen was out today due to back spasms says kcroyals.com. Hopefully this sidelines him tomorrow and maybe even Sunday.
July 19, 200817 yr QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Jul 18, 2008 -> 10:20 PM) We won without a barrage of HRs!!!!!! Nice to have a win where we get out to an early lead and just cruise to victory. Keeps the blood pressure down!
July 19, 200817 yr QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 18, 2008 -> 11:06 PM) THIS.TEAM.IS.DEAD. ONLY SCORING 9 RUNS? C'MON! HOW CAN THEY WIN WITHOUT HOME RUNS, THEIR CLOSER AND WITH KONERKO AT 1ST?!

For the 87th time, we had come off 3 straight games of looking like crap. Fortunately, we got many breaks since we were playing the bad Royals and so we won 2 of those. Our effort in the 3rd game, against the same pitcher we blasted tonight, was awful- thank Walker for that, he obviously learned his lesson, our approach was 10x better tonight. Who's complaining about run production? Actually, it's a proven stat that when we hit a home run in a game we're something like 40-15 and and when we don't we're 5-10 games under .500. Konerko didn't do anything bone-head today at 1st for the first time in 3 or 4 games, so unless he does, he'll be fine. And, we won without their closer? Huh?

If you make a statement like THIS.TEAM.IS.DEAD, you are gonna get ribbed. Stop explaining the reasoning behind it, and they will probably stop ribbing you about it
July 19, 200817 yr If you make a statement like THIS.TEAM.IS.DEAD, you are gonna get ribbed. Stop explaining the reasoning behind it, and they will probably stop ribbing you about it Here's a novel concept: Why don't you stop telling people what to do? As far as the game ... nice to see the Sox go nuts offensively early against a good pitcher. Good to see Carlos pick up where he left off the first half. Hitless in the all star game, he was great tonight again. Dye ... wow. OC and AJP get just one hit but they were big in the first inning, responding to KC's early run. Paulie got a nice single and I was distracted at the time but it looked like he hit the ball hard on his last out as well. Crede two hits and two RBI; Swish gets a hit and RBI. 36,000 fans. Mark B gets win. Dotel blows 'em away in ninth. Nice win. Hope the team stays hungry and keeps mopping the floor with the s***ty, yet sometimes pesky Royals.

Here's a novel concept, Greg: He was right to interpret my joke and ribbing as it was. A JOKE. Too many people here overreact all the damn time after losses and have selective amnesia when the Sox win. I'm glad at least someone recognized my comments to WSBrian for what they were. I'm sorry that you took my joke personally WSB, I was only kidding with you.

Go ahead and do it now. I never told anyone what to do, I made a suggestion. If you keep trying to attack me and call me out like you have lately, its going to get personal, and one or the both of us will end up being suspended. I will do the same so I dont have to read your Haikus
July 19, 200817 yr It didn't sound to me like kyyle was making a joke, but if he was, I also apologize. I do mean that. Edited July 19, 200817 yr by greg775

July 19, 200817 yr My bad on this one. I thought there was piling on Brian. So I am sorry for being a dick this time.
