That is your opinion , I have mine, Clemens /Wood does nothing for me, has nothing to do with Sox, this was Clemens 3rd try at 300 ...yawn.....and Wood has barely been a .500 pitcher. Then your scope of baseball knowledge is way too narrow. Anytime a guy is going for 300 wins is huge and to be doing so at Wrigley where the Yankees hadn't played since 1938 and against a fellow Texas pitcher, not to mention the young vs. old plotlines makes for great baseball. If you didn't watch, then you have no clue how this game played out. If you don't care, then get the hell off this thread and go back to your narrow view of the game, however sad it is. Because my opinion on game does not agree with yours is no reason to get personal, 2 people can disagree without questioning someone's scope of baseball knowledge. Sorry, if you can't see that matchup today as a great one, then I certainly question your baseball knowledge and your understanding of its history. If that is considered getting personal, then so be it. If you aren't interested in it, fine. If you can't see the significance of it that tells me all I need to know. Opinions are like assholes everyone's got one, matchup was 100% ass kissing media hype in a month no one will care or talk about the great Clemens/Wood matchup. Game was one for the ages So what better match ups have you seen lately?

If you were me this week, who would you take if you won in the worst for best league? I am having a hard time choosing a player. I am thinking about either Thome or Giambi while leaning towards Giambi.

Did we ever get our bats back from Birmingham

They have already said pauly will be DHing when we get back to Chicago.

I would like to see Jimmy Rollins leading off for us, in front of Jimenez. It would make the top of our line up dangerous. But I wouldn't deal Loz to get him.

What is wrong with Almonte? He has put up great numbers until this year. Is he hurt, is it mechanical or what?

Joe Crede, c'mon Joe lets keep this going!!!

I agree wholeheartly. That was one of about half a dozen marquee match ups that happen over the course of a season, and actually live up to their billing.

Tim McCarver was ripping Sammy a new one during the Wood Clemens match up yesterday. He kept saying that there was NO WAY that he didn't know what bat he was taking up there. Almost echoing Sammy's way previous quotes about always knowing if a bat met his exact standards or not. He said that Sosa would have known INSTANTLY if he picked up the wrong bat. Basically Tim McCarver was calling Sammy a bold faced liar right there on the Fox broadcast.

Can you imagine what he would have thrown in Carlos doesn't drop that ball in the 8th? He would have been around 75 pitches! That is incredible

yeah the first two picks and the top HS SS sound like the keys to this draft right now.

The catch of the deal is that the Sox were going to use Gagne as a starter, not in the pen.

although the PTC editing site is down, so the results have not yet been posted.

Friday night ended up being a tie between Jose and Frank Pickers of Frank were Texsox, OldRoman, ElrockinMT, Mathew, and me. Pickers of Val were cwsox and Big HurtBeGood. For Saturday Thomas edged out Crede by one point with two excellent preformances (9-8) Thomas pickers were Chisoxfn, TexSox, Juggernaut, and SoxfaninBeverly

They did just say that Choi was alert and moving in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

WOW sorry, that is NOT what I meant, I meant NOT as bad. I am really sorry guys. I must not have been paying enough attention. I am REALLY sorry!!!

They put him on a backboard, and took him off of the field on a stretcher. I am praying that it is worse than it looks. Sorry guys again, I really messed up typing this. I meant that I hope it wasn't as bad as it looked.

They are bring an ambulance straight onto the field, this isn't good at all.

Hee Sop Choi just got knocked out cold in a collision with Kerry Wood. As he fell his head bounced off of the dirt on the foul/fair line HARD. It was ugly and he is still laying on the ground.

Anyone think that we had a steroid problem on this team last year? It was something that just popped into my head after watching Sosa and knowing that he lost 20 pounds coming into this season. Did we have any guys who had a big weight loss during the off season? Could this be a possibility?

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Like I said earlier, i hope Clemens gives Sammy the brushback early. He will own him after that.

Anyone else going to watch?

On a side note, watching this guy pitch the ninth how could he never succeed as a starter? He has 4 great pitches that he seems to be able to spot anywhere in the strike zone he wants to. Any of you west coasters who have seen more of him that I have, what was the deal?
