There was a piece in the NYT yesterday where Hawk was quoted – it was an article about 1968, low ERA’s etc. – and Hawk compared the sound of a curve to a dentist’s drill (because the sewams were raised higher on a ball compared to today’s).

Floyd’s looks like it can be heard, not just seen.

Big win by the Sox and a nice loss by the Twins...

I trust Masset about as much as he throws 98 MPH. 5 hits in 1.2 IP? Regardless of his 3.31 ERA, the guy is a tee ball stand. And why is Crede having trouble with routine throws to 1B?

Big win considering the pitching matchups the next two days.

Did something like 4-14 is 10 under for the NL, so add 10 games to 72, 82 wins is over .500!

Gavin walks a tightrope. Swisher, Thome, and the Sox offense provide some fireworks. Masset tries to join in with the pyrotechnics by doing his best to be the biggest arsonist of the night but gets bailed out by Thorn-diggity.

high comedy

all right. which one of you jokesters posted this:

I don’t see any position the White Sox can upgrade. Yes, they need a leadoff hitter but where will he play. If they aquire a Coco Crisp or Willy Tavarez, where will Konerko play when he gets back.

by larry on Jul 1, 2008 12:30 PM CDT reply actions  

christ, this just gets better and better

Gammons agrees with Scott Merkin of MLB.com – the White Sox will not be active in the trade market."

They probably don’t have to, we know from history that the Twins wont add anyone and the Tigers have some ground to catch up still while seeing injuries continue to creep in. The division will come down to the team which can stay healthy down the stretch, if the Sox feel they are that team then pointless to make a move when there isnt a blaring move to be made…

With that said though, as an outsider I would suggest they get at least some pitching because the rotation most likely wont keep this up, and the BP is on a pace to be completely overworked by the end of August. Wont have to be huge moves, just a reinforcement or two…

Posted by: darkstar1661 | July 01, 2008 at 12:28 PM

yeah, the white sox rotation, which has been pretty much at or near the top of innings pitched since, like, forever, most likely won’t keep this up. and the bullpen, which has thrown the second fewest innings in baseball, is totally on pace to be overworked by the end of next month.
