| hey just heard some great thoughts from the guys on ESPN they think the Red Sox will be the team to beat in the East but (and MIKE will be happy) the White Sox will be the main team across the AL board

| Yup, Russ. That's just what I was thinking. In fact, I think Hoffman was up to all of the batters. Anyway, it WAS a good game. Very crisply played. It had a little of everything: hitting, fielding, and decent baserunning--for a change!
|
|
|
|
| I almost feel bad for Hoffman. He's usually nails in the clutch, but he left that pitch too high in the strike zone.

| Yep - AL, as expected. Game starts to late, it moved along well enough but even my 8 year old was out by the 3rd inning, my 5 year old didn't even make it through the 1st.

| Wow! This game was pretty boring until 2 outs in the ninth inning. Ozzie and his gang came through. You noticed, he didn't use any of his pitchers. That's because the White Sox play the Yankees Friday. Smart move.

| Again, the NL blows it. Turns it, it WAS Troy Glaus (wudda meathead!) the mopped up the floor with the other guys. Against Trevor Hoffman, second on the all-time saves list! Go figure! The NL hasn't won since '96--during the Clinton administration! Take about ancient history!!!

Yeah, I actually did watch most of the HR contest yesterday. What was amuzing to me was during the "pregame" discussions (nothing else on at the gym), it was all about Big Papi and Troy Claus and how they were going to mop up the floor with everyone else. Turns out it was David Wright, Ryan Howard, and Miguel Cabrera who hit more than those guys. Out of all of them, I liked Howard the most; he's just got one of those "poetic" left-handed swings (Reminds me a little of Will Clark--sorry, Jes; I know how Cubs fans feel about THAT name!).
Yeah, I think that Wright and Howard (and Cabrera for that matter) have the goods. The Game is in good hands. Still, I'll admit it, Big Papi is fun to watch!

love the 'designated hustler' it is very true having been around them and losing a couple of good friends to the stuff nothing good comes from juicing in the end i was never a big fan of Conseco and what about Sosa, Bonds the list is long okay you can add strength and power with out the stuff but the physiques these guys acquired in an almost over night time it is nearly impossible gentics arent that great in anyone
on a lighter note--- did anyone see the homerun contest? wow! some of those shots were pretty sweet

Jes, I think that MG was saying somewhat politely that "steroids happaned." If Canseco is 1/2-way credible, I believe that,yeah, he was responsible for introducing the juice in large part to the AL. If DH stands for "Designated Hustler," then I tend to agree with you!

| Who wants to see a pitcher stand in front of the plate where he is afraid of a pitched ball when you can have Thorne or Ortiz or Frank Thomas. Let's get some action. I went to the Dodger game last weekend and they lost 11-7. It was fun though because there were like 25 hits and several home runs. When it's 95 degrees at the park you want some action.

Aw mike i feel so bad for your white sox--not really
anyway the AL should take the all-star game. but as you have all said to shock there WHAT HAPPENED? well according to a couple of retired players (mark grace and al lieter) the DH happened a possible idea when you dont boggle the pitchers mind with them having to hit the game is different however i am a purest no dh is they way to go
|
|
|
|
| OK we lost two in a row to Boston and I'm bummed out. But tomorrow is another day. Where is our pitching?
|
|
|
|
| I hope the Reds do better after the Allstar break. I'm kind of surprised that they're only 2.5 games out of first. Have a great night.

| I think Boston can hold the lead until September at least, the Yankees need the break to rest their players, it's a long road back even from 2nd place.
|
|
|
|
I think the Twins started too late. They win 10 in a row and only gain 1 game on the top two contenders.
Should the Cubs fire their manager? They should fire the team. Can Boston hang on the the AL East? Not when they play the White Sox next.
|
|
|
|
| It's in Pittsburg this year. Yeah, the Twins are trying to make the AL Central a three horse race this year.

Count me in. I'm a Giants fan, no matter what the "weather." I will always stick with the Orange and Black.
Having said that, the NL now officially sucks. What happened? I thought that w/ free agency, the newer hitter-friendly parks, and the mixing of umpires, the NL, with its traditional emphasis on "small-ball" fundamentals, would easily dominate the Junior Circuit for the next century. What happened?????

Shawn,
Any idea when the All star game is going to be played? I have been totally out of the loop this year(working all sorts of weird hours). Have had to limit myself to keeping up with my beloved Twins recent rather remarkable steak(grin).
|
|
|
|
| We play the ChiSox again later this month. Looks like there will be a battle for the AL Central this year. The AL shouldn't have much trouble against the NL in the AS game this year.
|
|
|
|
| Slowly but surely, the White Sox are catching up to the Tigers. When do they play each other again. The Red Sox and White Sox series will be outstanding. Whose going to win the All Star game?

|
| I'd try jamming Ortiz all day. Put the ball in on his hands and don't let him put the meat of the bat on the ball. He might still mash them out of the park (He's too strong) but more than likely, he might max out with a good line drive
