Milkman delivers

My favorite moment was in 2000 against the A's at home. Singleton walked in the 9th with the Sox down one. He stole second, and took third when the throw went into CF. He then scored on a balk. In the bottom of the 10th, Valentin walked to lead off the inning. Thomas came up and hit a shot off the top of the wall, while Valentin chugged around the bases. There was a play at the plate, and Jose did a perfect slide to get just out of reach. There was one of those long pauses from the ump that seemed to take forever. Then you hear the call, "SAFE!." And the crowd erupted.

Haven't you all heard? The Indians will pass us in just under 2 weeks.

Lima is awful, plain and simple. If we don't score a lot off of him, I will be seriously disappointed and angry. And the 3B's name is Teahen.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 12:44 AM) I'll admit...whenever there is b****ing about Carl playing the OF, I'm usually behind it. But Carl has done a helluva job in RF when he plays there, tracking balls in the gaps that I thought were sure hits. He has been, if not a bit better than Dye out there when he is asked to play the field. Just don't put him in CF please Ozzie. Brian, if you're out there, did you see this^?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 10:31 AM) Ha, well that ain't happening. I can dream.

Without reading a word of this thread, here is my answer to the title: No, they are not. They've played awful teams, and they're still 4,052 games out. This is a hot streak that they stumbled upon, and there is no threat from Cleveland.

I don't know about anyone else here, but when I saw Roy Oswalt's name on that list, I had to change my pants.

Regardless of the call, this is just more evidence that the speed of Pods just kills pitchers. They turn into scared little girls when he's on base.

I guess we can say so much for that garbage about his physical being the best KW has ever seen? That, or KW doesn't know any healthy people.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 11:19 PM) Who says Duque comes back. I'll worry about that when it happens. I'm the wrong guy to talk to about Duque, I think he's been insanely lucky and hasn't deserved to be in the rotation the past few starts (I hope I'm wrong and he comes back and kicks butt though). I just have zero faith in him. Sounds like you might know a little something. Duque getting traded? I don't know if I'm ready to trust McCarthy with the 5th starter role.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 11:06 PM) I posted it in anotehr thread but I think an Al Leiter for Hernandez swap could make sense for both sides in a month Is Leiter a groundball pitcher? Because if he isn't, I'm not interested and I hope KW isn't either.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) Here is the section discussing this matter from the MLB Rules Book. One base shall also be awarded if the pitcher while in contact with the rubber, throws to a base, and the throw goes directly into the stands or into any area where the ball is dead. If, however, the pitched or thrown ball goes through or by the catcher or through the fielder, and remains on the playing field, and is subsequently kicked or deflected into the dugout, stands or other area where the ball is dead, the awarding of bases shall be two bases from position of runners at the time of the pitch or throw. I am not sure why Pods was allowed to go to third. Maybe they thought Weaver intentionally threw the ball into the stands?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 10:39 PM) More Chavez talk. Don't know if it has been posted yet. Sox apparently did talk with Oakland about Eric Chavez and Oakland wanted BMac, Brian Anderson(which I would've given up) + a Starter already in our rotation(which I would not have given up). Apparently, after the Sox said no, they said they weren't going to shop Chavez. Wow, what a terrible deal. I hate Billy Beane so much.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 10:36 PM) this is a Joe Morgan dream team. He ws still kind of annyoing though and I feel a bit bad for a Dodger fan since they didn't really talk abotu the Dodgers at all. Not a whole lot nice to say at the moment but national games are often treated 50/50 but in both of our Sunday night games we have dominated the airtime Yeah, the Dodgers got no air time. The other 50% of the coverage went to the Cubs.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) I agree with the comment. It's so good to see guys make positive statements about our Sox players. Carl has been a team player and wants to contribute. I just wisah there was a way to get him in there more and at the same time see the Big Hurt every game as the DH. But, do we think there is a chance that Frank may get a little playing time at 1B. Konerko will need a rest from time to time and it would be a great way to keep rotating Dye, Everett and Thomas around. Frank should never play 1B again, ever. And Everett helped us again today, and not just by hitting. By Everett DHing today, we were able to PH Frank in the bottom of the 8th to walk, be pinch run for, and have that runner scoring the tying run. It's all very intricate.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 10:22 PM) Sweeney KILLS the sox. Understatement of the year.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice team win.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) Politte is 5-0. LOL. Almost double Contreras.

PHEW!!!!!!!!! White Sox winner!

Could Konerko have stretched on that one? Oh man, too much stress.

DP!!!!!!!! Prove me wrong, please!

Get him out, just get him out.

Holy s***, I'm so scared. Is someone else warming?

2-0, cmon.
