French and Floyd both start with the letter 'F'. They are alike in no other way whatsoever, including, apparently, that Luke "Lucas" French has no face.

Did you fall in love with Miguel Batista? And he rejected you?
So I just assume that the mods are teasing us with the disgusting lack of content since Friday?

I recently got back from a tour and our first stop was Chicago.
I had never been there. The people were great, but I was shocked at how weird the city was. Four or five blocks of downtrodden buildings and houses, followed by a Fremont-like nice facade of businesses and apartments, then repeat.
Plus we got stuck in Cubs traffic on the freeway. Must’ve been Lou Pinella souvenir stigmata-christ-hand-night. Holy crap.

The downtown is just absolutely fantastic.
It’s got the huge tall building like NYC, but it’s got the broad open streets like Seattle or DC (where I live now). I’m a big fan of the skyscrapers, but NYC just makes me claustrophobic.

If you were 15 minutes from Wrigley, you were nowhere near downtown.
I can see how you might make that mistake, though, since Chicago is such a huge, spread-out city. “Downtown Chicago” really only covers the South Loop. Wrigleyville is far far north.

Google maps says you can go Millenium Park to Wrigley in 16 minutes.
by Robert Lintott on Aug 10, 2009 7:22 PM PDT up reply actions
Google Maps tells hilarious lies.
Unless it’s by the El, in which case sure. But actually, no, not even then.
In between the South Loop and Wrigleyville comes the sprawl of Lincoln Park, featuring some of Chicago’s most congested streets. It’s just a lot farther away than it looks. As one who knows.
Hyde Park (where I live) is much closer to the downtown than Wrigleyville is.

Nope. Not a chance, if we're talking about going from the Loop to Wrigley Field.

you're crazy...
.. if you think hyde park is closer to downtown than cubtown
We're pretty off-topic here so I'll leave it at this, but....
….as someone who has lived here for nearly 5 years, I know what i’m talking about. I live on the absolute northeast tip of Hyde Park, though — literally right off Lake Shore Drive. So I just hop onto that and drive straight downtown, without even having to navigate the neighborhood. It usually doesn’t take more than 10 minutes on a decent traffic day before I’m past the Field museum.

You use of quotations for "Lucas" reminds me of something I read the other day
In the new Satchel Paige bio, I read that there was a negro league player named Richard “Cannonball Dick” Redding. Which is just kind of hilarious.
Now, has it been long enough for us to appropriate that nickname for Gutz or Branyan?
Of course dick didn't come to mean penis until much later

But I really don’t hate him anymore. I don’t know why. He can’t catch the ball, throw the ball, or really hit the ball all that way – but all these stories about chemistry and his handling of the pitchers — I guess I sorta buy into it, or makes me not care either way about him.

Jigsaw falling into place
Gutierrez has an unusually high home-road split
for a RH hitter. Roughly .920 OPS at home, .720 on the road.
Odd, but he does use all parts of the field.
Which would (I assume) mean Safeco doesn’t hurt him as much. I can see his splits evening out.

We really need French to get through this.
I’m sick of falling back on the bullpen so early.

It seems like absolutely none of our pitchers have had command over the last week or two

I guess the Sox have a pretty high payroll at this point, so he should be a free agent.
I’m sure the M’s will take a look at him this offseason.

My completely uneducated guess is he'll be back next year.
Just a gut (pun!) feeling.
Mike Scioscia is fat.
This is horse cock!
Well, can’t complain about one game every now and then. This is only the second time I remember this happening this season and it was fixed within a decent period of time.
3-2 count on Konerko
Runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out.

Gamecast has it right on the line.
But the fourth pitch appeared to be right in the middle of the zone.

The "i" at the end is worse I think
Cause it has an unnecessary “y”, but it takes one off the end where it should be. It’s like an extra slap in the face.

Here's the pitch f/x for French
It doesn’t look quite as bad here – four borderlines called balls, and four clear strikes, but it sure felt worse. Maybe the Brooks Baseball isn’t adequately accounting for player height.
Speaking of bullpens
Larry Stone points out that the Phillies have sent Moyer there, to make room for Pedro
From there?
Probably.
Fuck Anaheim.

I wish I'd been on the White Sox broadcast so I could hear the bitter disappointment in Hawk Harrelson's voice.
FUCK THE ANGELS!
KENJI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Lately" doesn't include the first half of the season.
And those passed balls have turned into miracle outs on occasion.
It was a commercial on FSN - maybe they're showing it live.
But I’ve never seen the program or the commerical for it before, so I was wondering if anyone has or if it’s new.
I didn't get the point of that, either. You can see bp each home game.
Maybe they are trying to motivate folks to come out?
Did you fall in love with Miguel Batista? And he rejected you?
I got there at 5:30 on July 24th and all I saw was the Indians BP. I was pissed.
When do the Mariners usually take it? The gates only open at 5pm, so if they go first you must miss at least half their BP time, no?
So we are rooting for the Angels against the Rays right?

It might as well be the Angels vs. the Rangers.
Either outcome is a good outcome. Both teams losing helps us.
Oh I am not cheering, but if they win, its not all bad...
The wildcard is much more realistic (albeit a small reality)
by SebastianPruiti on Aug 10, 2009 9:13 PM PDT up reply actions
I'm not.
Screw the Angels.. besides if we don’t win the wild card I’d like the Red Sox not to either.

Gotta do it.
Rationality….must…..override……emotions!!!
I hate them so much though.
