QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 09:50 PM) 10-5, Cleveland. Now we need five more! I want 6......no extra innings tonight!

I'm sensing a 9 run rally in the bottom of the ninth....sox win 11-10!

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) Yea he said a pitcher. Maybe he was talking about Koch?

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) Didn't hear it, but I'm guessing Carlos Lee. I think he said that was a pitcher as well?

I think he walks than Widge hits a grand slam

I know its a lot to ask, but I think we have to continue being patient with BA. As many have stated, his glove far outweighs any additional offensive output which would be gained by Mack, Pablo, or any other option. Furthermore, many young players have a hard time adjusting to major league pitching when starting their careers. We need to look no further than Paul Konerko to see how tough the transition can be for even the best players. In 1997-98, he averaged just over .200 and hit only 7 HR's in 81 games. It wasn't until he arrived in Chicago for the 1999 season that he begun to reach his potential. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?playerId=3747 I'm not saying that BA will ever become the player that PK is (wouldn't it be nice if does though!).....however, I can guarantee you that both the Dodgers and Reds are disappointed they didn't give this guy more of a chance. Let's at least give Brian 2 more months to come around since we don't appear to have any viable canidates for replacement either on the roster or in the minors. If Kenny Williams is able to perform some magic and steal an all star caliber center fielder in exchange for a polish sausage (or something similar), than by all means make the change. But don't do it just to give up on the kid and don't rush the move when any replacement you have will hurt the team defensively.

AJ just said Barrett told him "I didn't have the ball b****"

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 20, 2006 -> 03:31 PM) For his own safety, I expect Barrett will not play tomorrow I'm guessing AJ won't either....he might not have started anyways since it is Sunday

Should be interesting to hear what Ozzie has to say about today's brawl!

Here's brief highlights of that lowlife Barrett acting like a punk... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctsYoWLgtuY

QUOTE(steve @ May 20, 2006 -> 01:59 PM) this is the kind of game that makes me happy to have a TIVO this is the kind of game that makes me pissed i can't watch it...f***in bastards at fox!!!

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ May 20, 2006 -> 01:24 PM) I don't want Freddy to throw at them. I want THORNTON to throw at them. Build this f***ing lead, guys. I want Jenks to throw a 100 mph heater at Barrett's head tomorrow...that should provide adequate retaliation!

It's not MVP numbers (and I don't expect those out of BA....especially as a rookie), but the kid is hitting .269 with a pair of homers over the past 10 games. His defense has probably saved at least a run or two over that period as well. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...layer_id=435042 Would I rather have Rowand in there? Sure I would (I'd take ARow over every other center fielder in the game). However, we had to give up a lot to acquire Thome and I think BA is beginning to do a very admirable job of filling this position.

What did Gooch do??

Bobby....Bobby....he's our man.....if he can't do it, nobody can!

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 02:33 PM) He is the biggest strikeout starter on the team. Thats true....now that Borchard is gone (although he was never a starter anyways)

Will we see Jenks in the 9th if its still 3-2??

Should Thome have a pinch runner now???

I see Thome hitting his 3rd homer in 3 days to win this thing!

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 2, 2006 -> 11:22 PM) Trade Contreras. Put BMac into the rotation. Contreras has a no trade clause for this year

Does Jenks come in to mop this up and get some work? AKA....an extended spring training?

This is just batting practice now.....lets knock those indian pitchers all around the park!

Lets score a couple more here....maybe it will give the umps incentive to call the game!

So will BMac get the win since Mark didn't get 5 innings under his belt?

just throw strikes here....i'd rather give up a few hits (and even a run if necessary) than to have long AB's that end up hosing us!
