Sox don't get the cred they deserve, but that's OK, we're in first. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/thome-2000th-hit#post-274 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:47:59 +0000 janet 274@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>yea, that was an awesome game! I watched the double from the concession stand, but it looked really good! I'm happy for Thome - he's awesome and just an all around nice guy. it was an exciting game, too bad it was a big fat loser. </p> <p>oh, and btw those are my fave uniforms. for some reason i really like the numbers on the leg as well. holy hotness white sox 1980's style! </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/cubs-losing-streak#post-273 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:02:41 +0000 rfisch4 273@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Well, between the Cubs problem swinging the bats and Randy Johnson owning the Cubs (they are 0-13 lifetime against him) we have the start of another losing streak :( after a very short winning streak of one. Ugh!! </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/cubs-winning-streak#post-272 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 03:39:26 +0000 rfisch4 272@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Finally a win - hopefully starting another streak!! Seems like it took forever to get this win. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/thome-2000th-hit#post-271 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 03:37:08 +0000 rfisch4 271@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Mark Grudzielanek on the Royals got his 2000 hit last week also. I think it was about Sat or Sun. That guy has hit right around 300 ever since he was with the Cubs although no where near the homer amount of Thome - consistency. I think he has just under 100 homers. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/thome-2000th-hit#post-270 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:40:38 +0000 timfitz 270@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>oh, also in this game they honored Harold Baines with a bronze statue in the outfield. The Sox are wearing their jersey's from the 80's (I'm assuming because of the statue thing) and Jermaine Dye was taken out of the game after being hit in the knee with a pitch. The x-rays were negative so JD will be ok. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/thome-2000th-hit#post-269 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:27:36 +0000 timfitz 269@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Jim Thome just hit his 2,000th hit in today's game against the Royals. More amazing is that he has 525 Home Runs, that means every 4th hit is a home run. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/all-star-break#post-268 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 22:25:03 +0000 rfisch4 268@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>The break is <strong>OVER</strong>- Let the games begin!!!! </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/running-game#post-267 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 03:02:49 +0000 rfisch4 267@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>I didn't like it when they got rid of Jones but Lovie was working miracles so who am I to complain? </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/running-game#post-266 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 12:19:02 +0000 timfitz 266@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Yeah, Thomas Jones was good for us, but they drafted Cedric Benson and they didn't get along to well. Also for some reason Lovie had a hard on for Benson and wanted him to start...big mistake. Some day we'll have a running game, since we are a running team.</p> <p>You know, 1st down - run, 2nd down - pass, 3rd down - pass, 4th down - punt. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/running-game#post-265 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:58:57 +0000 rfisch4 265@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Was that Thomas Jones? Didn't the Bears dump him and keep Benson? Couldn't understand that move, but there's a lot of moves the Bears have made that never seemd too bright. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/all-star-break#post-264 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:28:40 +0000 janet 264@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>really though a good moisturizer helps, unless you have naturally greasy skin and then you are set! ernie banks probably looks good because black people tend to have oilier skin. asians too. that's why i don't have wrinkles, probably also because i'm not old yet. either way the key to looking young is moisturized skin. the key to not looking fat is working out. =P </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/all-star-break#post-263 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 13:00:00 +0000 timfitz 263@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Certain people just age better than others, I think Ernie Banks looked a lot better than Cal Ripkin Jr.</p> <p>Also, it's never to late to work out.

He was originally drafted by the Lions in 2004. I for one believe nothing good could come out of Detroit. That's why I have a VW, but I'm going to be optimistic, we had good luck with a Jones before. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/all-star-break#post-261 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:43:11 +0000 rfisch4 261@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Just watched the introductions with all the hall of fame greats.

Arizona is in 1st place at .500 and the Dodgers in 2nd at 2 games under .500. Does that make them mediocre or is it a tough division and they're playing a tough schedule? I don't know how reliable the record a team has is until it's the end of the season. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/pitching-staff#post-255 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 14:30:08 +0000 janet 255@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>yea hawk and DJ were talking about jenks likely going on the 15 day DL yesterday. ugh, i hope that big bad bobby jenks only needs 15 days to recover. as you can see from yesterday and a few days ago linebrink doesn't seem to be able to handle that role quite as well. i think we can still win games, but the other relievers will need to step up their game while bobby is out. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/national-league-central-divsion#post-254 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 14:09:29 +0000 timfitz 254@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>I remember an article I read last year saying that <em>If you have a mediocre team in the NL Central you are pretty much guarenteed a playoff position</em>.</p> <p>I was watching the Cubs game yesterday and Bob and Len pointed out that the three best records in the NL are all in the Central Division.

Hope his crystal ball is clear again. Rich Harden seems like he could be a good pickup if he can stay off the disabled list. I always had hope for Murton and Paterson but all they did was yoyo back and forth to the minors. Never developed the consistency needed. Who am I to question Hendry? His moves have been right on so far. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/ozzie-guillen#post-250 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:55:33 +0000 janet 250@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>ha! i saw it - hilarious. i'm going to email him and give him a piece of my mind. personally i love ozzie - he reminds me a bit of myself (a loose cannon if you will.). i loved him and his demeanor when he played, and i love him as a manager. my favorite part of the post game shows is when without warning oz just gets up and walks away. it's hilarious. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/ozzie-guillen#post-249 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 17:37:46 +0000 rfisch4 249@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Did any of you Sox fans see Rick Morrissey's column in the Trib today?
