Did anyone notice during the game last night Hawk and DJ were constantly commenting on how Handsome Neal is? One exchange had them talking about casting him as the male lead in Baseball movie, if they ever made one. Things are getting close and comfy in the booth.

Steff, We need this guy to CALM DOWN Not get worked up again!

Our 9th inning stopper maybe already in our line-up. His numbers as a starter are eerily similar to Eric Gagne and their "stuff" is similar, also Eric always had a fastball with 95-98 velocity, but you rarely saw it as a starter because he paced himself and his arm. Danny also has a fastball in the 95-97 range, if he was only in one inning, add to that a knuckle-cureve and the knowledge he only will pitch the one inning. I think he could make a great closer. Sandy Alomar said it himself that as a reliever Danny could add 3 to 4 mph on his fastball.

Welcome! Newbie buys the first round!

Here are a few quick stats for the upcoming series: Career numbers vs. Opp since 2000 Monday Sele 2-3 5.19 era vs Colon 2-2 3.07 era Tuesday Ortiz 1-1 11.85 era vs. Cotts - NR Wednesday ( the best matchup) Washburn 3-2 4.29 era vs. Buehrle 1-1 4.82 era Thursday Shields - NR (faced us for only 1 inning in relief, no hits) vs. Garland - 1-3 6.50 era A split is likely, but I want 4. BTW, sorry I couldn't make it Saturday. I'm glad you all had a great time. I hope to be able to make the next outing!

While experiencing the one the best games since the McDowell/Johnson duel in '93, I was think what a shame it was Mulder(an admitted Sox fan) was pitching for the A's. A team he probably grew up hating in the late 80's. Then I thought: Was MB still pining for the St. Louie lifestyle? Too bad we can't orchestrate a 3-way trade... MB to St. Louis JD Drew and Vina to Oakland Mulder to Chicago. I figured Beane covets Drew, Bo Hart makes Vina tradable and the emergance of Harden would still give Oakland a "Big Three" Maybe I think too much during a game...

Maybe E! can turn this into a reality series and get Anna Nicole to run. Is this an exercise in Democracy or a JOKE?!? Gary Coleman for Governor of California!

Whoohoo. Break out the checkbook Jerry...you promised!

Ummmm... no. When they started tailgating at Comiskey, they did a series of ads with Bevington wandering from Car to Car in the parking lots eating Hotdogs with fans. One wonders why no one hit him over the head with a bottle, shoved him into the trunk and saved the team. That was also the year of the "LINE SHOT" promotion with Frank, Robin, and Belle in an "action movie" "Come to ole Ballpark for Kidnapping, Terrorism and Gunplay!" A banner year for Rob Gallas and his team.

Now THATS a reply!

Thanks

Hey HSC, you hear anything about the Sox trying to add more Bullpen help?

Against CLE and DET: KC is 20-5 We are 17-15 Ugh.

Gabby Johnson is RIGHT!

Maybe if we're lucky Jerry Manuel will come out and eat with us like Terry "boom-boom" Bevington did in '97 If anyone remembers those Ads from that year

This guy has been bashing the Sox and their fans left and right this summer. Now I can take it, we have our flaws. We are critical here too. But his articles about us are never truthful, based on insulting, biased opinion and often hypocritical. Here are a few examples: WINDY CITy BLOWING LOTS OF HOT AIR http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/s...ski/6466757.htm ONE PLAY SAYS IT ALL ABOUT THE ROYALS http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/s...ski/6437074.htm ROYLAS TRULY THE REAL DEAL, SOON TO BE DIVISION CHAMPS http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/s...ski/6308951.htm And my fave: WHITE SOX TRYING TO SPEND THEIR WAY TO THE TOP http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/s...ski/6222806.htm This is from the KC Star Website: To reach Joe Posnanski, columnist for The Star, call (816) 234-4361 or send e-mail to [email protected]

What are the chances the Sox getting Troy Percival through waivers? Thats the only established closer available out there right now that could be had...

Are you refering to Gammons' looking like the guy on the $20 bill? Yes sir!

So Harold Reynolds and Jeff Brantley call us "The Thundering Herd" to roll over KC and that we made all of our moves already and KC should have made moves but didn't... Then Peter "$20" Gammons turns the conversation back to the A's ugh

NOPE Came back from the break and did Cubs and Rays "highlights" Jags...

Karl Ravech should put a reminder "Talk about the AL Central" Post-it note on his head, instead of that thing he calls a hair piece

Earlier in the braodcast they mention that they will be discussing the AL central and the Sox. When they come back from break they discuss the Al West and JO on Rich Harden. Then they go to highlights on Rich Harden getting people grounding out. As I was typing this they just did their THIRD update on Rich Harden pitching. Nothing special, three shutout innings so far.

Just came over the wire and on BBTN. Ponson to SF Baltimore gets Damien Moss and Kurt Ainsworth

Bring me KelvEEEEEEEEEEEM Escobar!
