QUOTE(Reddy @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 11:15 PM) the one i hate the most is john miller calling iguchi 'Tada Iguchi' he's done it all year and it just pisses me off Sometimes Miller will call Iguchi "Taguchi". That's the one that pisses me off the most.

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 09:43 PM) True, but so are you really. By that I suppose you mean bad offensive games? The pitching hasn't exactly been stellar as of late. I actually wouldn't mind some bad offensive games if it meant the pitching would get back on track.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 09:24 PM) Nope, impossible. Soxtalk said it was impossible. And as we all know, everything said on Soxtalk has to be true.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 09:08 PM) Probably just Leyland conceeding the game. That'd make sense if it were done at the beginning of the inning, but with 1 out in the inning? That's kind of suspicious. QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 09:11 PM) So are we 1 game back now? In the L column, which is really all that matters.

BALLGAME! 9-2 PIRATES!

Sidenote: were Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen injured? They were both pulled with 1 out in the 8th.

End 8th, still 9-2 Pirates.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 08:55 PM) in what horrific fashion does pittsburgh lose this game? None. Don't even think like that.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 08:47 PM) Gameday finally catches up...I think If you're talking about CBS Sportsline, I've been using it for the past few minutes, and it's beenm working fine for me. And that's the inning, still 9-2 Pirates.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 08:45 PM) No, it's not anymore an abberation than our own loss to the Pirates. What are you talking about? The White Sox at least kept it close.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 07:04 PM) Fixed I thought that was implied...

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 07:02 PM) The posters at HalosHeaven say that Figgins for Crede would be a fair swap. Haha. I guess we can forget about that happening then.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 11:06 PM) Castro was traded to philly for haigwood today. Sox prospect for Sox prospect.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 06:09 PM) Great win. Jon, Uribe, and the bullpen did a good job. Go get em tomorrow and I hope the Pirates can start a winning streak damnit. They're due for a 4 game winning streak.

QUOTE(Hurons @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) I think you are wrong based on what I have witnessed so far. If you speculate that the tigers will fade, I can easily speculate that the Sox will fade. They are mirror images, and in fact the Tigers are slightly better through 77 games. With that said, I do not think the Sox will fade. There is nothing to suggest that the Tigers will lose 11 games in the standings to the Twins. The Tigers ERA is a nearly half a run better than any other team in the AL. They are 5th in offense and they are the most effienct defensive team in baseball (.730), slightly ahead of the White Sox (.717). Whats the old saying? Pitching and defense. Detroit has so much pitching its sick. The Tigers have 5guys not currently starting that would be decent starters for many teams in MLB (Sanchez, Ledezma, Maroth, Colon, Tata). Our starters are flat out sick. They havent lost in 19 starts. You assume they will tire, I assume they wont. If they do, we have a freaking sick pen...as good as there is in the league. Do I think they are better than the Sox? No. Do I think they CAN win the division? Yes. Do I think they will blow a 11 game lead on the Twins? Highly unlikely. I base that observation on the stats through 78 games and what I have pesonally seeen WATCHING 78 Games. This team has IT. I can give you two very good reasons the Tigers will fade, based on what we've seen (or maybe more importantly haven't seen) from two of the Tigers' best pitchers: - Kenny Rogers typically is a better first half pitcher, and in the past 5 years prior to this one, he has not had an ERA lower than 4 in the second half. -Justin Verlander has never pitched 130+ innings in one year in his professional or collegiate career, and he's on pace to pitch somewhere between 200-220 innings. If you'd like more reasons, let me know. I'm sure I could come up with some. The Tigers playing 10 games against their main division rival (whom they're currently 1-5 against) at a time when their pitching won't be at its best (i.e. July and August) certainly won't help though.

Maybe Palmiero's story wasn't total bulls***?

I'm hoping the Pirates losing streak ends at 14 and is followed by a 3+ game win streak.

Where's chat crew?

Well the Sox are the only deserving team, so hopefully they win it.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 02:20 AM) Why do I have the feeling that Garner's going to have Qualls plunk someone Sunday? Why do I have a feeling I've read this post before?

I'm not too keen on picking up a 42 year old. That's more of a Yankee move.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 02:11 AM) It absolutely amazes me that any White Sox fan could some how not love Kenny Williams. Who said they don't like Kenny Williams? If he makes stupid moves (i.e. firing Ozzie), he's going to lose all the goodwill and credibility he's built up recently. This is a "what have you done for me lately" business, and firing Ozzie is about the stupidest move he could make right now. QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 02:23 AM) I'm calling the NAACP...maybe they're on to something. Seriously, KW has done more for the Sox than Ozzie Guillen ever will do. This current roster could probably win at a similar clip with me as the manager. This thread is beyond hysterical. Wow. It's unbelievable how quickly some forget 2003. The Sox had a team capable of winning a division, and potentially more that year, but because they had a crap manager, they ended up losing out to an inferior Twins team. Ozzie brings an energy and spark the team needs. To say that you could manage the team to a similar record is just a slap in the face to what Ozzie has done for this team since taking over.

If Kenny is seriously considering firing Ozzie, then he's lost his touch. I don't think he is though. If he were actually to do something so STUPID (and that would be about the most idiotic thing he could do at this point), he will have lost any credibility he's gained over the past few seasons.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) LMAO@THIS TRADE! Did Isaih Thomas suddenly start making decisions for the Warriors? This would be one of the steals of the century.
