TitoMB345 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Well, as far the nickname for Thome, I like Lumberjack or Three-Strong Gorilla. But, what about a nickname for his home runs? THOME RUN! Get it? T-Home Run Thats what I call them now anyways. I just jump up and scream "THOME RUN" (pronounced NOT like his last name, but HOME with a T) and everyone in the room with me knows what I mean! But damn, Contreras DOMINATED today. This is great. COME ON GARLAND! Make it 5 amazing starts in a row! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) By the way Jose's SGPIR today was 9.3. Er, can I ask what SGPIR is without sounding like a newb? *hums* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 ...has anyone been using my "Joe and Two" for Mr. Crede and his insufferable count at bat? ...I ask because I still find myself using that despite his play last October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mheil1121 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) With all this talk about Jenks almost blowing it, he didn't. Also I don't see anyone getting on Andersons case for misplaying that flyball that he should have gotten for out 1. Think Big Bobby will be fine.

gettysburg32 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 1. I vote for "lumberjack" 2. Would I like more offense? Of course, who doesn't. But, these last three games have looked like last year. MB was the ace, Garcia looked better and threw the ball more than 80 mph and Contreras was nasty again. The offense is doing enough. The Sox, as last year, will go as far as their starting pitchers take them and that's a good situation considering who our starters are. 3. What's missing in the offense? Obviously Pods is one big answer but the overall answer is simply that the Sox aren't manufacturing any "Ozzieball" runs right now. That involves Uribe, Anderson, Pods and Iguchi. Dye, Crede and Konerko have helped Thome out the last three games, but half of the order is useless right now and it happens to be everyone that can run/manufacture as well as set the table for Thome to hit three-run bombs instead of solos. 4. I have no problem with "Joe and Two", but right now "Juan y Dos" is more appropriate. Complaining aside, 's are fun and tomorrow we'll have one, nothing like playing the Tigers to make everything better in a hurry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Much of the postgame amusement involved a 1994 high school magazine article that listed Konerko as a first-team All-America catcher, ahead of second-team catcher A.J. Pierzynski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Anderson still isn't hitting. Has he looked any better at the plate at least? I haven't seen the last couple days since his lousy at bats versus KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I vote for Lumberjack as a nickname for Jim Thome. Trading Aaron Rowand for him is starting to look like a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 10:27 PM) Anderson still isn't hitting. Has he looked any better at the plate at least? I haven't seen the last couple days since his lousy at bats versus KC. He has looked brutal, striking out alot. Missing on alot of low and outside pitches.
