live... box? score?

sometimes they’re slow to update and based on yesterday’s comments seemed like the royals may have taken the lead – i just couldn’t wait the extra 20 seconds for the gamecast to refresh… damn this instant gratification society we live in

I like the Greggs shooting because it was the first time I felt rewarded for watching

It took me a few episodes to get into, and I had to get used to the slow pace of the show compared to other TV dramas. When she got shot, I was legitimately shocked.

Great post from MLBtraderumors
How would I improve the White Sox? Move em out of Chicago where they actually have a chance of fans showing up. Nobody cares about them in Chicago. Turn on the game and look in the stands and tell me I’m wrong. It’s kinda funny. I think the Chicago Sky has a bigger fan base.

Anyone questioning why the Sox went after Peavy

and are going after Oswalt/Bedard just need watch Mr. Danks this afternoon. Very encouraged by Floyd’s last two outings and the last three from Richard, but you just can’t go through a season feeling confident about only 1 starter. Last year you had that “confident” feeling with Buehrle, Danks, Floyd, and for that matter you pretty much knew Javy had a good chance of keeping you in the game (until the end I guess).

I don’t understand the need to keep Clayton, I mean even if he does become a great pitcher the sox need a known commodity.
