  1. Looking over the season with Sandy and Kelly back we seem healthy and ready to play. Any questions about Konerko seem to be answered and I guess Billy is the only question mark and that is speculation trying to figure out his drop in velocity. It's looking good on that front.
  2. I was thinking the same thing. Of course they are coming off a sweep also.
  3. Don't drop me from the board but to be honest I would take either guy and be happy. Sammy bloomed late when he added some bulk and strength. Maggs is much better earlier. Still with Sammy we are talking a lot of home runs. I do wish during one of his hops his shoes would get tangled and he would do a face plant I really can't say he sucks on the field or at bat.
  4. Not just Koch but the whole pen has me holding my breath. I couldn't watch the game last night and just saw updates on ESPN but with a 2 run lead in the 8th I figured we were ripe for catching. If we had Smoltz I would have broken out the broom then. To make a run we need a couple guy at a time getting hot and hope September is good to us. Not looking too far ahead but our schedule isn't the best from here on in.
  5. The Royals have battled back a couple times this season after being written off. No reason to believe they will not do it again and stay in the race. The Twins have never made a move but expect at least one like we are in the middle of to bring them within the pack. We have proven the ability to crash at times against inferior teams (Tigers). We need to keep beating teams in our division and holding our own against the rest. To me it's still a three team race with 10-12 games over .500 possibly winning the division.
  6. i wonder if bud came in and killed the deal. I heard on ESPN's BT or SC that Bud killed all Expos deals. They had to stand pat. It disappointed a few teams that had stuff in the works.
  7. Tune in tonight to find out on "General Soxpital". lol! IMHO the possibilities: 0-3 Been there done that against worst (Tigers) teams 1-2 We still have a way to go to match up against AL elite 2-1 Momentum is cool. Ms are struggling 3-0 Oops, bring me a tissue.
  8. KC can be real as can the Twins. Real and winner are different. The Yankees and BoSox are both "real" only one will win the division.
  9. I really didn't need to know the details of the head shave
  10. Amazing how much fun winning is! Now where is my Sox hat? I have some Cub fans to visit . . .
  11. Billy returning to his old form around September 1 would be like nitro and afterburners. The boost into the playoofs with a quality closer could get us past the first round for certain.
  12. "Wow Daddy. I put these glasses on and the Royals do look like division champs!"

    Actually you can *be* 2 girlfriends and a boyfriend at the same time.
  14. Kind of like the Buns of Steel video I've been watching for 10 years. Hasn't done a thing. Maybe it would help if I got off the couch? Practice makes permanent. Perfect practice makes perfect permanent.

    Props for getting it done early. I always wonder why teams wait right up until the deadline to make a move. Too much of a chance for mistakes when you are pushing to meet a deadline. Plus some teams already know they need help or are cashing in the chips waiting for another season by June or July. The Alomar trade is the #1 example of this. Great having him before the break and rolling right into the second half.
  16. I figure we have 2 runs by 10:00 tonight, I ain't waiting until *after* the series I figure Hawk wanted the new look and looked for an excuse.
  17. I don't care if we have Alf in the dugout. Black, white, hispanic, mixed, or someone from the Japanese league, just win baby. Sox fans have waited all too long for a winner and maybe a few care about race (unfortunately) but I venture to say there are more fans on the north side that think race is an issue. The Sox are one of baseballs best franchises for being color blind. That guys an idiot.
  18. I hear Hawk bet the team if they swept KC they could shave his head. Mark B. got the honors. In that spirit if the Sox score 2 runs against the Ms, I'm going to drink a lot of beer all weekend!
  19. Isn't that the way I heard it should be . . . We have awesome offense and pitching was questionable after Mark and Bart and we were still going to win the division. I think the pitching is about what we expected coming in, just different guys stepping up. E-Lo picking up for Mark. We are still shaky at closing but there is still time for someone to catch fire the last couple of weeks and bring it home in the post season.
  20. LOL! and finally He looks a bit like Cal Ripkin III How do you think he hid that sign for a couple innings?
  21. I am so glad DJ spent part of this season with the Sox. For most of my life, he still would be a Sox and we would still be b****ing as we were eliminated from the division race. It sure feels good that the team went out and found a replacement.
