QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 08:47 PM) Look at this... we leave Minnesota guaranteed to be in first, no matter the outcome tomorrow! Danks will dominate tonight and we will leave at 2 1/2 games.

Can we please beat Hernandez down like the crotch gobbler he is? Please. Sincerely, Mr. Nervous

I'm in...hoping we get hot at the end of the season and carry that into the playoffs.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 09:04 PM) So bad even an 8 year old could get him out right now. That kid is a loser

Should we just go home now? Last night made me sick. If we aren't going to show up, we might as well just head to KC and concede these games. Or, lets f'ing act like we want to be there. We looked like we just don't care.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 02:59 PM) For $50M I'd rather have Carol Burnett. That's hot

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 28, 2008 -> 02:23 PM) He's a 31 year old power pitcher who still has his good stuff and has had some success in the AL over the past 2 seasons (his numbers are awful against teams that aren't the Yankees and Red Sox this season), he's due $24M over the next 2 seasons ('09 and '10) but could opt out now and get about $52M-$56M. If he doesn't opt out he'll have to play out the rest of his contract in Toronto and who knows what he'll situation will be like at the end of the '10 season, he could be burnt out and done by then. So he'd opt out in order to get another ~$30M in guaranteed money. Another $50 million? Jesus. That sounds crazy to me for this guy.

Why would he opt out...he is .500 pitcher, as usual, and is making like $13million...someone will pay him more? What is sad is that his .500 record, is better than Contreras and Vazquez. So I guess we should get him.

We will win 3 out of 4...you can make book on that...Twins....DEAD!

QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 12:58 PM) My ticket rep confirmed they will be in fact broadcating the game on the scoreboard tonight. How could they not. Get there...hit the field...hit the food...watch a little of the game from the seats. and FREE BEER!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 12:40 PM) time to find out who's the best team in the AL central. The answer is us. Go Sox.

Great read. This is why I have an Ozzie jersey. Love the 'Blizzard of Oz'

QUOTE (BBaum21 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 09:19 AM) The Grinder Bash is tomorrow and starts at 11:00 AM. That's what my two tickets say. Not sure if that got changed. There are 2 of them. Tonight starts at 5...probably to 7 or 8.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 08:36 AM) BS. This is a guy who defected from his country possibly never to see his family again. This "he's a pussy" crap needs to stop. He's a proud tough man. His marriage broke up. That could affect a lot of people. He plays with injuries and gets in trouble if he doesn't disclose pain. Mark Prior was called a pussy because he disclosed pain. He was upset Pablo left, but so was most of the team. He was fine when El Duque was traded. Sorry Mrs. Contreras.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 08:44 AM) Kenny always aims high, that is no surprise at all to me. How do we handle contreras then? Just put his ass in the bullpen? We are stuck with the slug through next year, I believe.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 08:15 AM) Cowley on the SCORE this morning had Duch at plan C. He also quoted Guillen as saying he will not say his Justin's last name for fear of how he may say it and get in trouble. I think one of OC or Crede are signed and if not, than it is possibly 4 picks in the top 40 or so gutting the farm system will not hurt especially with Danks and Beckham if signed. Remember the A's were thought to have wanted Poreda in draft last year and the Sox took him one spot before Oakland. Yeah, Cowley also stated this in the Sun Times...and basically sees a trade involving Fields...Crede walking next year, and us trading for Figgins. And then Alexei would move to SS, and thinks we would go after Orlando Hudson, who is a free agent. So, it would be Figgins at 3rd, Alexei at SS, and Hudson at 2nd.

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 07:47 AM) I will be going tomorrow, my first time going... what should I expect? Free food and drink...includes beer and wine. When you get there, head behind centerfield and sign up to go on the field. People are taken like every half hour, and you can go in the dugouts, bullpen, and the outfield. No infield. The Scout Club lounge will be open and that is where Moose or Pasqua or whoever will probably be. You can also go in the visiting team's locker room. That is how it was in 2006. Did not go last year. So, bring your glove and a ball, jump up against the outfield wall, take a picture and everyone will swear you are Torrii Hunter...I mean, Nick Swisher.

I heard it will be Dan Pasqua or Moose Skowron, or maybe both. Anyone else going tonight?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 07:12 AM) Forget it, he's rolling. Thank God someone can play along.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) Um, hasnt Verlander been really good recently? Go away

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 02:09 PM) I agree with your sentiments. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Its not over until we says its over. Sheffield? Dead. Ordonez? Dead. Verlander? Dead. Neidermeyer? Dead.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 01:57 PM) I'm usually one of the most optimistic posters on the site. But I think you being overly optimistic. The Tigers are hot right now, and have been playing good ball for quite awhile and they are at home against the Sox who have less than stellar on the road. I HOPE we win 2 out of 3. F the Tigers...they are in trouble. Time to kill.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 01:54 PM) If we go 2-8 or worse on this trip as Ginger Kid says, that's the season. Let's hope not. No way. I think at worst 5-5. And I have a good feeling we are going to be more like 8-2. How ya like that for optimism?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 24, 2008 -> 12:06 PM) mlb.com says Floyd vs. Robertson Danks vs. Zoolander Vazquez vs. Miner I think we'll win the first two and have a good shot at the third one. A Sweep would be f'ing beautiful.

Alexei seems to do something every single game that impresses me. Great off-season move.
