PrintI hate the Twins so much. These games against them make me wonder how WU and Chi aren't having heart attacks.

Ha, he does look like one of those phony televangelists.

I don't know them all, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt
I assume there are a few who are genuine in their faith and ministry and not just trying to bilk people.

7/11/83 - Sox beat Indians 9-2, to go to 42-39, 2.5 games back.
Walker went 0-3. Because he is evil.

Brad Radke=Twins bitch
I just don’t like him!

Didn't Radke pitch most of '06 with a torn labrum?
I’m surprised he can lift his arms over his head.

He sold his soul to satan - you can see it in his eyes.
If he thanked the fans one more time I was going to jab a fork through my TV.

No worries with WU and Chiburb
They were asleep by the 4th inning. Thats what old ppl do. Could be worse. You see what the pirates did tonight

Not surprised
It’s the power of Radke – the trick is to not look into his eyes

I am drink as well (on coffee)
The case for the Metrodome:
http://sullybaseball.blogspot.com/2008/08/case-for-metrodome.html
The fake “retro” park is the new cookie cutter – which means in this day and age the truly unique ballfields are the remaining concrete donuts and the Metrodome.
I like your style
These drunk guys need to step it up. I pride myself on my well-written, 4:45am drunk texts, emails to ex-girlfriends (err), fantasy baseball message board postings…you get the idea.

Tell me about it. To quote Vince Lombardi - act like you've been there before.
Actually – my work day starts at 5:00 AM. Nothing more fun than waiting behind a bunch of drunk bachelorette party survivors while getting coffee at Dunkin Donuts.
That's funny...I just went to DD. Not many of them in Manhattan, but I have one 2 streets ova
5am on a Sunday…you’re an animal.

...nothing hotter than drunk bachelorette chicks at DD.
Especially cramming fried dough in their mouths and chugging coffee and screaming in high pitched “OH MY GOD AMANDA, I THINK I LOST MY PANTIES AND I AM ONLY WEARING ONE HIGH HEAL!!!”

Too good not to share... from today's Sun-Times:
http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/1662503,CST-SPT-sox12.article
Guillen said that while he respects longtime Sox third baseman Joe Crede, there was no way he should have hit two homers against them. Crede had a three-run homer in the fifth and a solo shot in the seventh.
‘’I thought Crede had a bad back,’’ Guillen said. ‘’To be honest with you, I’m going to start calling the pitches because I know [Sox catcher] A.J. [Pierzynski] was good friends with him. It’s starting to put doubts in my mind now. [Today], every time Crede comes to the plate, I’m calling the pitches.
‘’We all know Crede can carry a ballclub. When Joe gets hot, he can carry a ballclub.’’

AJ pulled a "Crash Davis" and told him what was coming?!
He then went back to the hotel and banged Susan Sarandon.

I suspect WU's heart attack came from his birthday blow job, not the game.
As for me, the older i get the easier it is to say “whatever”. Not that I don’t care, but a little perspective is healthy. Besides, I numbed myself pretty good on Tanqueray and High Lifes.
Trying to remember what a birthday blow job was like…

From an old Bill Simmons Mailbag:
Q: In one of your playoff columns, you ended a sentence with the phrase, “especially given this economy.” This is becoming an awkward conversation-filler in society these days. I think at this point it can be used in any conversation, to end any sentence. Example …
Friend: “I can’t believe you hooked up with that awful-looking girl last night.”
You: “It was just one of those nights, especially given this economy.”
The possibilities are endless, right?
— Gary, Tampa, Fla.
SG: Love it. Lemme see if I can work it into this mailbag somehow. Hold on.

OT: Fantasy Baseball
To any of you in a “deep” league, this guy Marc Rzepczynski looks like a decent flyer. He was good in his first outing and has sparkling minor league #s. I picked him up in a 12 team league with 25 spots (& 2 DL spots) per team, so the wire is really thin and I’m pretty excited about it.
Ok…off to work, unfortunately…I’ll stop spamming the board now.

Very exciting game
I’m about as saber oriented as it gets (e.g. there is no "base clogging) but it does help a lineup to have guys that can hit for average and run the bases.
I have a theory that the Sox’ improved road record this season is partially the result of having a team that can score away from the homer happy Cell.
Seemed like Floyd pitched better than the results, but he hung in there and rested the bullpen. Anytime you can go 8 and 2/3 and leave with the lead you’ve done a good job.
Big game today insofar as it will be a hell of a lot better to go in down 1.5 or 2.5 to the Tigers and 4 over .500 vs 2 over and back 3-4
oh, and make sure you tune into the futures game at 1:00 EST on ESPN2
Sox seemed pleased with Flowers’ progression behind the plate, we can see for ourselves today.
you're going to confuse people. 2pm EDT.

i would also note
that evaluating flowers on how he catches pitchers he’s never caught before may not be particularly useful.

so, the announcing call that irritated the hell out of me last night
was on the spinning chopper by cuddyer that beckham reached for but didn’t get and it bounced foul. it seemed real clear to me that he was just lucky that he didn’t touch that ball, but hawk (and, disappointingly stone as well) felt that praise of his “instincts” and “baseball acumen” were in order. then i find out this morning that farmer and dj saw it my way and said beckham shouldn’t have reached for the ball, but he would learn from it. as AEG put it at the beginning of the season, hawk is still winning in the “hawk make stone bad” vs “stone make hawk good” battle.
and yes, mercy, that radke debacle was the worst example of public oration i have witnessed in a long time.
brian anderson would've caught that...
yea radke was pretty bad. I actually felt kinda bad for the guy at the end
He clearly was really emotional, but just wasn’t articulating himself at all. His jokes were bombing.
Yea that play with Beckham was just luck. At the same time though Stone is the perfect partner for Hawk, his segways back to the game from Hawk’s ramblings are much needed.
Maybe this time next year Stone will call Hawk out on plays like that.
I've always viewed Hawk as the crazy uncle
I love him, yet he’s crazy and says dumb stuff.
I’m kinda hoping he’ll retire soon, to be honest.
Is it still the fourth inning?
my feelings on hawk are that he's the voice of white sox baseball
and as long as he can put a few coherent sentences together in a row, then let him stay on.
I’m sure if I hadn’t grown up a Sox fan listening to him that I’d despise him.
agreed
he might be out there and say homer-iffic shit, but he’s our crazy uncle. i’ll disparage the dumbassery here, but defend it once other fanbases start to criticize him. it’s a weird point of pride that he gets under so many people’s skin

I'd give Radke a pass
I always respected him since he allowed himself to be the butt of a joke in a Sega commercial early in his career (a conga line around the bases due to homer after homer allowed). Pitched with no arm because he knew it was his last year, never blamed teammates. He’s a pro’s pro.
