Q!

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Trooper, I wholeheartedly agree -

in order to properly describe it, “fucking” HAS to be in the sentence.

I knew we were going to take the lead… I just thought it would be an inning later.

I forgot to take into account the Toby effect.

by vince_ on May 22, 2008 9:20 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah, I thought 9th too

but didn’t have any worries about the pitching giving up another run, so it was just a matter of time.

by Trooper on May 22, 2008 9:22 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Was wondering why it was so quiet

I was in the wrong gamethread. It all looks the same at the bottom.

He went to Stanford, after all.

Why is Ozuna in there?

He’s not a defensive upgrade.

Ramirez was pinch-hit for

And Uribe’s got the hamstring issue.

Travis Hafner - soon to be starring in the made-for-TV

version of “Thinner”, the story of a man who’s batting average slowly disappears into thin air.

Reminder of the rules - sorry

how does big boy not get credited for the save??

All this with Konerko/Thome/Swisher batting .210

And Ramirrez and Cabrera not really scalding the ball either

by hitlesswonder on May 22, 2008 9:32 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I can see AJ and JD regressing downward a little

Crede and Q staying where they’re at, but assuming Thome, Swish, and PK come back in a big way, our offense will either maintain or mildly exceed its current output.

Bud Selig....

is holding a press conference tomorrow to announce that all current ALL-STAR ballots are immediately deemed invalid, and to be replaced with Q ones starting Monday.

What a nice feeling

To check the box score, see the Sox beat the Indians and say “Hell yea I knew we were going to beat those bastards from Ohio.”

Con-fi-dence? Quite a novel concept for a Bulls/Sox fan of the past year.

Just got home from the game.

WTF do we live in Chicago for? The wind chill was about 12*!

Haven’t read anything yet, so not sure if it’s been posted before, but tonight was the 837th consecutive complete gave for the Sox starters.

Very impressive.

Was there too

And the 8th/9th made sitting in the cold near the Brewers fans worth while. Although they seemed to have bailed after no one around them wanted to help them start the wave…

by madopal on May 22, 2008 10:44 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

They'll need it

The Angels will be throwing some good pitching at them this weekend.

Then again, the Angels will have to contend with the “Q Factor.”

If anyone would like to join me for a cold frosty at the beer stand near Sec. 103 on Sunday (behind the visitor’s bullpen), give me a shout. I’m fairly coherent through the 4th inning or so.

Imagine, This Team Could Be

29-18 with the Opening Day loss and Bobby’s Baltimore blown save in Baltimore with a 2-run lead w/ 2 strikes & in Chicago that later got suspended. To think this team was left for dry on May 6th after an 0-6 roadtrip to drop 2 games under .500. What a great sport America’s Favorite Pastime is.

I was at the game tonight...

I tried to get some pictures of Q!, but every picture I tried to get of him there was a strange shining blob around his head. Also I faintly heard trumpets.

Truly, this Q! is someone special.

I can't believe

they’re not selling Quentin shirts at the shops outside the park yet. How long does it take to get them printed up?

They have so many

See, the # of jerseys in stock are the main determinant of someone stating in the bigs.
