It is funny I hate the Yankee's too, but for some reason I always liked Rivera. He seemed just like a class act. I would hate of rhim to be done cause of this. Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 That really is too bad if he is done. I remember when Red Sox fans gave him a standing ovation on opening day in 2005 and he smiled and tipped his hat to the crowd. Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I am pleasantly surprised and happy with the White Sox, thus far, of course they have a loosing record. Need the bullpen to start clicking (They definitely have blew some games). The starting pitching and hitting (Dunn, AJ, Paulie) are starting off great. Dunn's game winning homer against the Tigers this past Saturday was a shot. Plus it helps that the rest of the AL Central are not playing too well. Link to post Share on other sites

Yesterdays into Last Nights Game Featured a Rare Instance not seen since 1925 In yesterdays game Both Teams used a Position Player to Pitchwhile this is occasionally done in games where b.p. is depleted for a team it has Not been done since 1925 for Both Teams in a Game Hey at least the Red Sox are making some kind of HistorySeriously they are so banged up right now MGH could name a wing after them.

The High Heat Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Jayson Werth broke his left wrist again last night. He had broken it before in '05 as a member of the Dodgers, missed all of '06, and had to eventually go to the Mayo Clinic on his own dime as a last-chance effort to salvage his career. Werth will miss 3 months, probably more. I know he has a ridiculous contract, but he is a good player and person, so I hope he can return as a productive player again.

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Five home runs in his last six at bats...and the double he hit tuesday was a few feet short of making it six for six and a five homerun game. Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Really disappointed at the punk move Hamels pulled in plunking Harper. And I find it equally funny that Harper ended up scoring by stealing home.Guess a last place team needs something to get them fired up. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a Phils fan, but I still don't get the point of Hamels hitting Harper. And it's certainly not "old school" to rat yourself out, assuring a suspension. Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Former White Sox pitcher and coach died yesterday. Probably not many people (outside of White Sox fans and south-side Chicagoians) heard of him, but he has a great back story on how he got in the majors. Those uniforms (middle of the picture) are my all time favorite Sox uniforms, mostly because those were ones they were wearing when I first started going to games (late 70s), also I think they look cool as hell. Below is a rather long article, but worth the read. http://www.suntimes.com/12569512-417/kevin-hickey-a-long-shot-who-fulfilled-a-neighborhood-dream-dies-at-56.html Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Bleacher seats at Wrigley for tomorrow's game, hosting the Sox, face value: $110. Really? Bleacher seats? Total for 3 tickets, including fees ($4.75 per ticket, 9% Chicago tax, 12% Cook county amusement tax): $389. No wonder it's not sold out. Link to post Share on other sites

I was a card collector in the '80's, and it blew my mind when he resurfaced as a member of the Orioles in 1989, six years after his last big league appearance. It was situations like that which made me (retrospectively) wish the Internet had existed earlier. Everyone loves a comeback story. Link to post Share on other sites

I understand raising the prices for the Crosstown Battle (or whatever they call it), but if you can't sell out a White Sox v Cubs game, then your business model gauge of supply & demand needs tweaking.

I would say so - the whole NATO meetings may be factor. I have never been a fan of the Cub/Sox series, anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
