QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 06:17 PM) Man, a ton of men left on base today. yep

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 05:58 PM) It looks to me like the Tigres have given up. all that talent and they're going to get Trammell fired

does carl seem to be slumping?

How about those White Sox?

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 09:12 AM) What is so "dark cloud" about pointing out the obvious? Remember: this was before our big streak and rally in September, which is exactly what I said we needed to do. And you think it's appropriate to boot somebody for one post among 600? A couple of friends/Sox fans pointed out this is like the Steve Stone treatment--which, ironically, is postively Cubs-like. And no I'm hardly a doomsayer--but then again, I always loved Sox fans because they're not filled with pie-in-the-sky delusional thinking like the other team's fans. They call 'em like they see 'em. I assume you're talking about WSI? Their mods like to weild the power. I don't even bother anymore - soxtalk is muy bueno.

Willie Gilligan is gone. :headshake Gilligan: Hiya, Professor. What are you doing? Professor: I'm making notes for a book. It's to be a chronicle of our adventures on the island... I think it's a book people will want to buy, don't you? Gilligan: Sure, I'll buy one. I'm dying to find out what happens to us. So long, Willie

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 05:59 PM) I'd rather the Indians lose all of their games for the rest of the season, and the Sox clinch as soon as possible. At least my blood pressure would surely appreciate that. Shut them down Duque! Me too. And watching the Twins nose dive in the standings is just plain fun.

Konerko taking the ball to right field = joy

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 05:50 PM) Too bad the stadium doesn't. ....These are the kind of games where a solid season ticket base helps. do you get to many Angels games? I can't believe the crowds they get.

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 05:48 PM) Irrelevant. If we were lucky to make it to the WS, we'd have homefield. who said anything about homefield? Why not cap your season with the best record in all of baseball?

man, the Sox bench looks packed!

is it cool to root for the flubs to beat the cardinals? I want the sox to have the best record in MLB.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:51 PM) I have trouble figuring out how we'll face them in the first round...I see 2 possibilities, but I think neither one is likely. Right now the Yankees have a worse record than them...if the Yankees passed them, we'd still play the Yankees because Boston coudln't play New York. If Oakland were to pass the Yankees, we'd have Oakland in the first round. If Cleveland passed the Yankees...Ok, we'd have the Angels in round 1. If Oakland passed the A's and the A's still won the WC, we'd also have the A's in round 1. I see us playing NY in round 1 as the most likely scenario right now...Oakland is probably going to fall off the pace now that Crosby is hurt again...and Cleveland has been falling back a bit lately. I think Cleveland has the easiest schedule in the WC chase and the Angels are my pick to win the west. I think the Yankees are going to win the east in the last series of the year, the Red Sox returning to their passion for choking and giving their entire pathetic nation reason to once again celebrate their culture of losing. Gee, I hope we see another one of those exciting HBO docs with that hunky ben affleck... :puke

QUOTE(WinninUgly @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) A few players are using it now. I saw Aaron doing it as well. Looks like it is really working. He worked with Walt Hrniak (sp?) about four weeks ago and said it really helped.

Isn't baseball weird? Two years ago I despised this guy as much as any player in the league. Stick a Sox jersey on him and I'm one of his biggest fans. What if Saddam wore a Thomas jersey to his first day of trial?

we're seeing the best the angels have, that's for sure. And I'm grateful for that since I think we're going to see them in the first round, imho. Good to get a look at their best rotation. Especially Lackey -- he's been awesome since the break. They need all the looks they can get at this guy.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) Besides, Raul Casanova hasn't had his chance to shine yet.... congrats AJ. I'm sure you read these boards. Right?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) Roberts said abortion is "Settled law" while he was not in a position to do anything about it. The fact that he was willing to enforce that ruling while he was working for a lower court says absolutely nothing about how he would vote were he given the opportunity to restrict or overturn it. His lower court rulings on that issue are TOTALLY IRRELEVANT. I say give the fundamentalists (aka, republicans) what they want and do away with Roe v. Wade and turn it back over to the states. We'll see how those good ole boys like it when their 16 year-old daughter turns up pregnant. And while we're at it let's make the USA a religious state as well. Hmm..how about...Christian? Muslim would probably be a hard sell, and Jewish, well, they've already got Israel. Pagan would be interesting. Hindu? Way too many beef eaters here in America. Our founding father's must've been drunk when they came up with that whole separation of church and state thingamujig.

she's a terrific golfer as well, you should see her swing. Let's see...she's beautiful, she's sports savvy, loves to play golf and now of course is a white sox fan. congrats!

I think Lima's hysterical. If he was on a good team his antics would get old fast, but the Royals? I hope he pulls some of that stuff tonight. It's a gas to watch, especially when he's getting shelled.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 4, 2005 -> 06:10 PM) I stumbled across the Red Cross page where they have banners. I put one on my blog and now here. I like how it's the same size as the FS one. Fits in pretty seamlessly. that was a nice touch. Keeps things in perspective.

not to get ahead of ourselves, but when you start looking at post season play and what Cotts can mean in a close game, it's pretty damn scary. Our bullpen is scary good. Angels bullpen is scary bad. As is Boston's and NY's (with the obvious exception of el diablo Rivera. Anytime I see Alan Embree warming up I know Mel Stottlemire has to be thinking "how the hell did it come to this?").

QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 4, 2005 -> 02:17 PM) Too bad our administration didn't think that way. Always time for fund raising I guess. Dennis Hastert having to stop off in Indy for a fund raiser really put me off. He wasted no time getting back to DC for Terry Schiavo. Oh well. No matter what our view/differences, at least it's nice to know we all agree on two things: these people deserve the best help we can provide, and the Jon Garland is the s***.

I love the Sony mp3 player.

JON GARLAND? YES!!
