Game 160 Overflow Thread

PrintJake Peavy is once again getting it done against the Tigers. (Though they do seem to be hitting him better than last Friday in Chicago.)
And Edwin Jackson would be matching him, if not for an unfortunate fastball up in the zone to Scott Podsednik and Carlos Guillen misplaying a bloop single to left field.
White Sox 2, Tigers 0 as we go to the fifth inning.

That's weird
Usually an outfielder gets an error if he touches the ball before it hits the ground, that and he slid about a full 2 seconds too soon.

that would be dreadful
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
could you stop being so negative please?
we’re all bummed here, already. you’ve had nothing constructive to say all night.
I hate using the term choke because it is way overused in inappropriate contexts
But if the Tigers can’t hang on you could argue they will have choked away the division – buckled under the pressure. They are so tight if they walked through a draft they would twang.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
I know
They are good enough to win this division if they would just relax and play competently. They don’t have to be outstanding, they don’t have to be fabulous – just decent is enough, and they can’t manage it.
I can handle losing to a better team, or even a healthier team – but I don’t like seeing a team lose because they were so nervous and tense that they couldn’t put forth their best effort.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
Yeah, but this team is like that
they never let you get comfortable. I’m almost predicting a Figaro no-hitter or something tomorrow

underwear or clothes?
I like some of their clothes, but I don’t know how they fit or if they wash that well.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
I like their tank tops and sweaters, and I wear their underwear too
pretty decent quality, usually. I wear the body by victoria bras exclusively, love em
I only can get bras from them that fit properly.
Every other brand the underwires pinch – and I NEED the underwire for the support. Their cotton collection is fantastic and the only ones that fit well.
I was looking at some of their sweaters in the last catalog I got and wondering how nice they were. Maybe I’ll get one (if they have it in stock in the color I want). :)

by okie for michigan on Oct 2, 2009 9:34 PM EDT up reply actions
the way I heard the discussion ...
Is that MLB thinks they have precedence because it is a divisional game for Minnesota, which means that instead of having the home game then and the away game later they just flip-flop the home and away, which might normally be fine … but in this case Green Bay is coming to visit Brett Favre, and the NFL is disinclined to move the game from it’s Monday night slot.
If one of my teams wasn’t involved, I’d root for that to happen purely for the potential for dispute. :)

Injuries. But other than that – I figured odds were they would lose to Peavy, but I’d feel less crappy if the score was something like 3-1. Still, however big hte score, it’s only one loss.
