Guest College Party Report post Posted May 7, 2008 I DO BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE THE PREVIOUS WHITE SOX NO-HITTER. HOWEVER, SINCE A RUN HAS BEEN SCORED FOR THE TWINS, IT IS NOT THE SAME QUALITY OF NO-HITTER BEING THROWN BY GAVIN FLOYD RIGHT NOW AS THE 27-BATTER NO-HITTER THROWN BY MARK HORSEFACE LAST YEAR. STILL, THERE ARE NO HITS FOR MINNESOTA IN THIS GAME. THE TWINS ARE A GOOD TEAM WHO WILL NOT BE NO-HIT EASILY. NO-HITTER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2008 Nobody involved deserves this. Maybe Gavin Floyd, but nobody else. I guess sticking a bat up a blow-up doll's ass really worked after all! Floyd definitely. He spent some time in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Pitchers sit in the stands charting pitches during games when they don't pitch, usually the next night's pitcher has the book. Often fans will recognize the players and talk to them or ask for autographs. Floyd was always accommodating, very polite. I always found it a bit unfair that Floyd struggles and Cole Hamels, who is a real jerk, thrived. As an aside, Floyd's only career shutout was the Aaron Rowand broken nose game. That was called after five innings. ESPN has the tv feed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest College Party Report post Posted May 7, 2008 Oh well. Kudos to ESPN for sparing us and giving the Twins' feed. No kidding. But yeah. The Horseshit Owner didn't deserve this success on the day he fired the Bulls' beloved announcers, the manager and players didn't deserve it with their dumbshit antics as of late, and their asshole fans don't deserve it either. You should read the things they say about Ron Santo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2008 The Sox' owner and announce team are horseshit. The players are fine and I think Ozzie Guillen is a capable manager. He's abrasive, but that's ok by me. I don't expect managers to be PR men, and some of the best were not exactly the type you'd invite to a dinner party.

Guest College Party Report post Posted May 7, 2008 No, the players aren't fine, and Ozzie Guillen is an embarrassment in addition to being only an adequate manager at best. A contentious and unprofessional attitude permeates each and every level of this organization, and I don't want to see them succeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

claydude14 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2008 Jesus Czech, sounds like you hate the White Sox more than you love the Cubs. They don't even play in the same league, why are you so emotionally invested in them? Hopefully this outing by Go-Go-Gavin Floyd can spark this team to get back on track. The hitting has been abysmal, but the pitching has been very solid. We had a 1.97 ERA over the Toronto series and still managed to get swept. Unbelievable.

Guest College Party Report post Posted May 7, 2008 I like the Trumpet Guy in Oakland. Jesus Czech, sounds like you hate the White Sox more than you love the Cubs. They don't even play in the same league, why are you so emotionally invested in them? No, I care more about the Cubs. It's the Sox fans who define themselves by how much they hate the other team. I didn't care what the Sox did until 2005, when the team and its fanbase became absolutely insufferable. Hopefully this outing by Go-Go-Gavin Floyd can spark this team to get back on track. I think dyeing their beards and sodomizing sex dolls will bring the fire and the passion back. SWISHER 2THEMAXXXXXX Jesus Czech, sounds like you hate the White Sox more than you love the Cubs.

devo 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2008 Moises Alou shows remarkable hustle for a forty-one year old recovering from a hernia as he advances from first to third on a unremarkable single to center field before scoring on a double steal (catcher threw to second to try and get Pagan, Alou scored before the ball could get back to the plate). Terrifying to watch at the time, but terrific nonetheless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naiwf 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2008 The Mets just gave up an inside the park HR to RF, Church jumped for it, hit the wall, fell down, stayed for a couple of seconds, then got up and threw it before Pagan was anywhere to be found covering him. Horrible. The Mets have given up a 4-1 lead and should have blown this one open early. Wright then follows that up by throwing a routine grounder into the stands for his 7th error of the season. Same old, same old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYU 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2008 Oh yeah. They're a stumbling, bumbling calamity tonight. And for the record, Rick Petersen should have been gone after the bullpen collapse last September. Somebody needed to be held accountable for that, and it should have been the guy that...you know...was in charge of all the pitchers that gave up all those games. Of course, the Mets held onto him and surprise, surprise...the pitching has been just as piss-poor this season as it was last year, excluding Santana, Maine, and Wagner.

Guest College Party Report post Posted May 7, 2008 If the Mets were to replace Rick Peterson in the middle of the season, with whom would they replace him? Is his anti-strike policy standard throughout the organization? Who's available outside the Mets? I'm not asking this as a challenge, I'm just conjecturing that if someone were to be launched midseason, it would be Peterson over Randolph, given the pitching woes in a year where the Santana/Martinez/Maine trio was predicted to dominate wire to wire.
