Cali Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I hope Obama rocks some White Sox stuff when he throws out the first pitch... If he sells out and wears Cardinals stuff I'm gonna be pissed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Not sure it's been reported on here, but Buehrle is going to be the 2nd pitcher for the AL. Also, Hanley Ramirez has some gigantic arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Barrack must wear a Sox hat. If Shawn Johnson wore one, he must. Edited July 14, 2009 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Footage of Obama small talking with the players in the locker room looked uncomfortable for both sides for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I think that ovation just woke LaRussa up as if it were a brake pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 There are 2 Pirates on the team. And Only Buehrle is there for the Sox? What a shame.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 seriously, in this age of ESPN, and internet voting, will there EVER be another White Sox starter in the All-Star game (that's not a pitcher)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it will be too long before Beckham is mentioned as an all star. Just last year we had Quentin there, I dont think its that far off to have another position player in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like in the situation with Michael Young or Aaron Hill, where the people voted in couldn't play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 seriously, in this age of ESPN, and internet voting, will there EVER be another White Sox starter in the All-Star game (that's not a pitcher)? Id venture to say yes. Sox players have done pretty well being elected the last player in via internet vote. When the Sox have a team that doesnt create apathy at the beginning of the season, you will see huge vote numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC23MVP Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Barack Obama is about to throw the first pitch. Any predictions? Strike? Ball? Throw it in the stands? Throw it in the dirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) It doesn't matter how good the team is playing as it pertains to voting. Apparently there just aren't enough White Sox fans in existence who vote. Not one starter voted in in 2005 when they we're playing great. Or in 2000. There have been plenty of Sox players worthy, and who weren't even close to the number of votes needed. Someone is gonna have to light the world on fire to ever get the starting job again. It boggles my mind sometimes. Mauer is from Minnesota which was almost contracted 7 years ago, and a smaller market than Chicago. Voted in. Longoria from TB a team that's been around for 10 years and struggled to sell out the playoffs. Voted in.

Soxbadger Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Then how do you explain Pods and AJ being voted in as the last player? Sox fans just dont care enough in April to start voting for a player just because they like them. If CQ had been healthy and on fire, I think he would have had a ton of votes.
