QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 05:09 PM) in absolutely no way am i defending playing owens, but i never understand the BA love....whats wrong with an OF of swisher griffey dye with PK at first? edit: besides defense lol Nothing. Except we're comparing swish-owens-dye to swish-BA-dye. I pick the latter without second thought.

OC is very good over there.

BA, as always, getting f***ed.

Is he playoff eligible?

Soxtalk has become my go-to place for conversations outside of baseball, which perhaps separates it from all other message boards I've ever posted at.

Pretty good piece of hitting really. Had he swung and missed we would have said great pitch.

OPS is a vastly overrated statistic. Swisher's slugging doesn't mean s*** when he never hits. I also think his high OBP may be the reason he doesn't hit.

I'm sick of the people asking for Swish higher in the lineup. I want him OUT of the lineup.

I heart OC

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 05:08 PM) OC, where you going? Ominous start to the game. He never had any chance.

Wow what horrible luck there.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 05:52 PM) Cliff Lee has to lose sometime right? right? Cliff doesn't have to lose, but the Injuns do.

Can't get it to load tonight, guess I'll stick to the game thread.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 11:51 AM) I wasn't tryin to criticize you...hahaha....if everyone stayed on the lines of the original post or title this place would be no fun.... Dang, now I can't get in a message board fight.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 01:14 PM) What an epic match up between two pitchers who have each only lost 2 games all season! Wow!

We're the right kind of lineup to get him out of the game early, even if it isn't by virtue of run scoring. We can at least work his pitch count to get him out of the game before the game ends.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 02:33 PM) That's how you tell we're winning. Unfortunately true.

Wow what a small gamethread today.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 08:55 PM) This is not a thread to ATTACK PEOPLE, or QUESTION WHAT THEY SAY. Threads in the filibuster with those rules don't go far.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 06:27 PM) Yeah, Pontiac is just up 55. This isn't exactly White Sox country. Not at all. We're few and far between.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 06:13 PM) Will we ever hit a changeup? Hey I see you're from Normal, we're about 40 minutes apart. I'm in Pontiac.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 06:15 PM) Kind of sounds like someone else too. I'm done arguing about stupid stuff like this. Sure it was my fault for bringing that up, but I didn't appreciate the "Duh" comment you gave me. I think we have a case of misinterpretation due to being on an internet message board and not being able to detect the tone in which posters are speaking.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 06:10 PM) Yeah, according to you he's going back to Cuba for the hurricane. That's a big stretch from his original question about whether Alexei would go back.

Hawk's experience in this game that amounts to 49 years.

Does anyone here know exactly what consitutes a simulated game?
