Milkman delivers Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Thank you This is why we're Sox fans. Some of us are negative, others are positive, and the rest are somewhere in between. But all of us, down to the last poster, put in a significant amount of their time to come together and get AJ into the ASG. We should really be proud.

The Ginger Kid Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Since the game has such significance for the Sox if they return to the series, I kind of was hoping Liriano would get it. He's lights out and Oz could use that kind of pitching. Then again, I voted several times for AJ. Schizo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnhillegas Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 6, 2006 -> 05:12 PM) If the AL loses, it won't be because Liriano wasn't there. I know that Kenny Rogers isnt particularly intimidating, but seeing that the last 4 innings the AL will throw, Ryan, Jenks, Papelbon and Rivera (or at least thats what oz suggested) I just dont see how they lose. And I really dont think Tom Glavine is any more intimidating. The only thing that scares me is that Zito can be such a s*** pitcher in his first inning of work.

You know, I think it's overrated nonsense to say that Liriano is lights out, therefore we substantially increase our chances of winning the game. It's not as if there's a shortage of quality pitching on the team, Mark Redman aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 A few things: Does anyone else think Ozzie purposely took Redman to drive home the point that not all teams should have representatives? Is Glavine starting for the NL? Does anyone have that picture of Barrett punching AJ that says "Frustration" and looks like a poster?

Rowand44 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Punch That Congratulations to AJ Pierzynski and all White Sox fans on becoming the final All-Star today after holding off a late surge by Minnesota's Francisco Liriano. The announcement was made over the ballpark intercom at the same time ESPN announced the news nationally. AJ was congratulated by teammates and media members while manager Ozzie Guillen just rolled his eyes. AJ has several thank yous prepared to go out, but we cannot say enough about the support and time and effort devoted by thousands and thousands of White Sox fans around the world. You are now 2-for-2 in elections -- in fine Chicago tradition. My guess is we won't be getting a third chance anytime soon unless we win this thing again. You all should be proud tonight. Sox Pride. It will be fun to see AJ's reception from our fans ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjm676 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) Fans of the other players should not be mad about AJ, they should just have voted more than us. But they didn't. So screw 'em. Edited July 7, 2006 by robinventura23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 He wouldn't have made it without soxtalk, of that I am sure. Next year, we should team up with a messageboard for another team and do an NL trade. If you guys were like me, there wasn't anyone in particular you were DYING to see ont he NL team. I voted for Capuano but it was close. If we could make a deal with a messageboard for a team like the Brewers where we agree to vote for the other team's guy, we'd win by even more!

Punch and Judy Garland Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Robbed? No. I voted for him but when a guy hitting 360 or so gets picked ahead of you, its not a robbery. He would have been worthy of selection though. However, there are always 10 or so guys or more that are on the outside looking in that should have been there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Glavine starting for the NL? Does anyone have that picture of Barrett punching AJ that says "Frustration" and looks like a poster? No I don't think that was the reason. Out of 7 spots though, 4 had to be pitchers. That means if he takes Grudz then one of the hitters he chose couldn't go and it would be a pitcher instead. I believe Glavine would start the all-star game but he pitches on Sunday so Garner has to decide if he is willing to use his starter for only one inning. Carpenter and Schmidt are also going on Sunday leading me to bet on Carlos Zambrano (starting on Friday) to be the starter. Just a hunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
