Is anyone else really getting tired of Hawk as of late? He can't judge the distance of a fly ball at all anymore. Every semi-deep fly ball, he's yelling "stretch, stretch" and then "dagummit". Last night, he was talking so highly of Mauer you'd have thought he was his son. Every time there's a chance that a double play may get broken up and it doesn't he's grouching "dagummit".

 

How did he react to Thome's HR last night?

 

I think he sounds like a frustrated fan of the team. I'll take that vs some indifferent retard with a high pitched squeal.

I especially hate the impassioned version of "dagummit." He really yells and stresses the "dag" and quickly mutters the "gummit."

What makes those professionals "retards" exactly?

Overuse of the telestrator for the sole purpose of circling fans.

Saw some conjecture that the White Sox may pursue signing Barret Loux.

Lauman sure seemed to like him.

His response about 5 minutes ago.

Someone pointed out to me today that Jim Thome's WAR is greater than that that of Mark Kotsay, Juan Pierre, Mark Teahen, Andruw Jones and Omar Vizquel COMBINED.

It's a safe assumption that the person wasn't Ozzie Guillen.

So has everyone gave up on the season already?

 

41 games to go (without tonights game), we need '31-10' kind of run after we beat the Twinkies tonight, to win this division. (97 wins takes it? if not I tip my cap)

 

SOX:

 

3 at KC

3 vs BAL

3 vs NYY

3 at CLE

3 at BOS

4 at DET

3 vs KC

3 vs MIN

3 vs DET

3 at OAK

3 at LAA

4 vs BOS

3 vs CLE

If we can somehow win tonight, we're 4 back with about 6 weeks to play, and we will have a team that knows they can beat Minny in Minny even when they are red f***ing hot. Twins will not stay this hot the rest of the season, they are on a run like the Sox had earlier, and its not sustainable. We don't need a 31-10 run.

 

But, we need to win tonight. Getting swept is not only a 2 game swing from here, it would also be crushing mentally.

Wha? Taking 1 of 3 in Minny will teach them that they can win in Minny? Taking 2 of 3 in Minny didn't teach them that earlier this year.

You seriously don't see a difference in winning tonight versus getting swept?

On paper there is between 6 back and 4 back...but mentally, I think they're flat out cooked. They had their run and now they're back to where they were in May, with suddenly everyone's confidence broken, no belief that they can hold a lead/win, and Ozzie going off like crazy about everything and everyone other than the team.

Disagree. Mentally, winning tonight then moving on, would be a far better place to be then getting swept. Looking at the way they played the last couple games, this team still has fight in it. That might not be enough, I don't know, but if they win tonight, they are far from cooked.

 

There still is about 6 weeks of baseball to be played, gentleman, I hope they don't sell their skin for cheap.

I have no idea what that expression means.

Haha, well I meant they better put up hell of a fight and don't piss down their pants.

Just in case this gets buried in the waiver wire thread I want everyone to see this.

 

2nd half:

 

Laroche: 8 HR 22 RBI .317/.360/.579/.940

 

Rios: 2 HR 19 RBI .264/.290/.349/.639

 

Why are we not trying to get this guy to replace Kotsay as the lefty DH and backup to Paulie???? Someone in the game thread last night with inside information stated we had no interest in this guy and I am floored as to why.

So double header tonight, any word on who starts the second game? How does it affect our rotation schedule, should we worry?

No word from what I can see. I hope that Freddy can go 6-7 strong in Game 1 otherwise it could be really devastating. This may be a good time to start Sale out there for 3-4 innings, then Pena for the same in game 2 if we cannot call anyone up.

Send down Kotsay and bring up Harrel or Torres.

 

On a side note, didn't anyone on our side realize there was a very slim chance of getting last night's game in? Shouldn't they have just warmed up Pena and given him the start? Seems like a huge blunder to let Jackson warm up and pitch to a batter knowing that a huge storm was coming that would last several hours. We can't be giving up a guy in the rotation like that in the middle of a pennant race.
