allupons Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Anyone else thing that Hawk and DJ's comments about Garland having bragging rights over Buehrle is kind of stupid? I imagine the conversation would go a little something like this: Garland: So I hit a homerun. Guess that makes me a better hitter! Buehrle: My ERA is 3 points lower than yours and we are paid to be pitchers. Garland: yea.... that is true........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Theres something to be said about having bragging rights WITH RESPECT TO hitting amongst your fellow pitchers, and Buehrle can't say "Well I hit a 2 run HR." All fun and games between em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick0984 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 ya, they are just gonna be joking around about it all...and he will have bragging rights until someone else can do something better. it's just another way that shows how good the Sox are with each other.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Mark is a competitor. I'm sure it irks him (in a playful way) that Garland hit that HR. Nothing at all to make a big deal about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are freinds and the clubhouse as we all know has a great atmosphere. I am just saying if Garland tries to tease Buehrle I think Buehrle has a hell of a comeback.

henry wiggins Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 So does this (homerun) make Garland a pinch-hitter option for Ozzie now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the interesting thing? The Cardinals have a guy, Marquis I think, who they use for that. I sort of wonder sometimes whether or not there might be a couple of pitchers in the AL who might be able to hold together a .250 average if they were given the chance to hit every now and again. I mean, usually in places like little league, the guys on the mound were the best athletes on the team, some of that stuff has to carry over for a few of these guys.

Buehrle: My ERA is 3 points lower than yours and we are paid to be pitchers. Garland: yea.... that is true........ Asked if he'll ever live this one down, Mark Buehrle said... "No, I never will until I hit one," said Buehrle with a laugh. Like a good teammate and friend, Buehrle immediately found a security guard to retrieve Garland's milestone blast. "I would like it to happen soon," Buehrle added. "If I had to guess, I will probably never hit one in my career. I've already pretty much heard from everyone else. Once we get home and I get a game under my belt, and strike out a few times, he'll get on me." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 05:42 PM) He hit a blast last year in interleague play. He's also been praised ALOT by Cleveland's ownership, some announcers around baseball and by C.C. himself. He could hit 2 times better than Dontrelle Willis/ Mike Hampton which is saying something. He is that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Really enjoyed Garland's homerun. Especially since pitchers in the American League don't get to bat very often. You don't expect pitchers to hit home runs, but really enjoyable when one of our pitchers hits one! Way to go Jon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tealeafreaderii Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 It was the first home run by a white sox pitcher in like 35 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I was listening in the car and two seconds before Jon hit it, Farmer was talking about how good a hitter Jon was in H.S and said that he is very capable of going yard. How s***ty do you feel when an AL pitcher goes yard on you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Singleton was talking about Jon and his homerun trot in like the 3rd inning of the game. I believe Jon described it as "pure pimp juice", I saw no such thing today as he rounded the bases. I am sadened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
