I miss Trevor Time

Which means I also miss save situations, and more importantly, frequent wins

Let's hope we don't need Narveson today,

unless it means we are ahead by several runs.

Game Notes have Narveson clad in #38

The team just can’t give away the numbers of last year’s pitchers fast enough.

I was wondering if Thome would get the start at 1B today, since he is one of the only White Sox with some experience against Looper (3-6 with a HR).

Good question

I don’t have a good answer =( I enjoy BattGam as much as the next guy, but Hall is just abysmal right now and fixing that is what concerns me more as a fan =(

by pharom on Jun 14, 2009 2:02 PM CDT up reply actions  

I agree that third needs to be fixed

But I don’t know how to keep (and play) all three, unless someone moves to the outfield

Some guy named Joe

Got McGehees first homer, was going on about how he gave the ball back willingly, and didn’t care what he got in return trusting the club would give him something fair later, and the announcers talked about how it was nice to see a fan not caring about what he was given back and appearing to be a true fan for talking about the club having the lead
