Chandler- 2 Points, 6 Rebounds, fouled out. Curry- 11 Points, 4 rebounds, fouled out. Just like old times at the UC!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 18, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) Still before we even talk about AJ and gold gloves, I think it would behoove us all to go look at which pitchers had the most wild pitches in the league. Even though a WP isn't credited to the catcher, that doesn't mean there's nothing the catcher can do to stop it...that only means it was in the dirt. Well, that is determined by MLB scorekeepers, isnt it? If they determine the catcher could have done something about it, it is then termed a passed ball and charged to the catcher.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jan 18, 2006 -> 02:53 PM) Just reading some other posts the Indians did imrprove a little, who is to say that Paul Byrd and Millwood are about the same pitchers, they arent very different, Well yeah, if a power throwing pitcher is the same as a junkballer.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 18, 2006 -> 03:16 PM) Exactly. I don't know that I have seen many catchers worse at stopping the ball in the dirt. QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Jan 18, 2006 -> 03:24 PM) You also need to be able to throw out runners to be a Gold Glove catcher. I agree with both of those assessments, but it still leaves me scratching my head why Varitek is even considered. .990 FP, 8 errors, 7 passed balls, and they wont even let Wakefield throw to him. Then you have AJ with a .999 FP, 1 error, and 7 passed balls. strange

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Jan 18, 2006 -> 01:13 PM) Because Neyer is a stathead and he argued all last season that the White Sox weren't good enough to win the World Series. Now he looks like an idiot because his stats failed him. No, he looks like an idiot because he looks like an idiot. It has nothing to do with stats.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 18, 2006 -> 12:50 PM) The Indians strengthened their roster this year Rob? Paul Byrd being that huge upgrade from Millwood? Ha, I read that quote and thought "The Indians and Twins strengthened their rosters? How?"

Im really surprised that Boras let this one get away. Not his style.

Al Green sucks

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 05:37 PM) Maybe Zambrano taught Prior about internet chat rooms? And Rock follows his joke with a rimshot!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 04:05 PM) However, if Joe somehow turns last September into a season, all of a sudden he'll be in a place to ask for another million or two in arbitration next fall, and the Sox will probably have to pay it. If we signed him to a 2-3 year deal now, it could have kept his price at that $2.3 million for each of the next 2-3 years, maybe saving the team a mil or so. I think that if Joe turns last September/October into an entire season, he will be asking for a whole hell of alot more than a million or two more. Mostly because Boras will be chirping in his ear pretty loudly by then.

QUOTE(SoxPride56 @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 03:27 PM) One more thing, Prior's machanics are fine, there isnt anything wrong with them, like someone before me said, everyone raves about his machanics, they are nearly flawless. Ah, I get it. Because you said so, I should believe it. But a former pitcher and man who has a doctorate in physiology says it, and I shouldnt believe it, right? Get off it, I believe that Prior has some problems in his delivery that are contributing to his nagging injuries in his elbow and achilles. If you dont, well you have a different opinion then dont you. But if Prior has a "flawless delivery" and great mechanics, what was wrong with his achilles? Or his sore forearm? Or the elbow inflammation listed in the article I provided?

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Jan 16, 2006 -> 10:27 AM) the one kid in the video had skate shoes on... can't wait until they blame their actions on "Viva la Bam" friggin' ridiculous Why do they have to blame it on Bam? They can just blame it on the "Bumfights" videos or the "Ghetto Fights" videos where people beat bums laying on the street in between streetfights fights.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 02:34 PM) I'll wait for Josh's post before I list his favorite schools receivers. I just looked at a list. Those two he listed WERE probably the best examples. Amani Toomer, Tai Streets, David Terrell, Anthony Carter? Not much to choose from

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 02:34 PM) Howard probably wasn't the best example because he was more of a Return man however Braylon probably would be ROY if he hadn't gotten hurt. LMAO. Right. And Orton is Marino.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 02:31 PM) Tim Brown went to Notre Dame. Yaha! Who the hell was I thinking of?

LOL, i was wondering why he didnt mention Tim Brown. But when you have the honorable Desmond Howard and Braylon Edwards at your arguments disposal, you just have to use them. It would be fun to have a game where he says the name of a Michigan player who succeeded and we respond with the name of a player who succeeded in being a bust. LOL, I will start, Tim(Tshiminga!) Biakabatuka.

you are going Aboz? Pfffft, I aint goin now I would love to go, finances just dont allow. I live vicariously through all of your pictures, please post them

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 12:39 PM) Thats the best you could come up with?? Desmond Howard had 1597 CAREER Yards with 7 td's in 10 years in the NFL Braylon Edwards has played ONE year, compiling 512 yards and 3 td's before getting injured. Can you please point out to me how you can call these two players "not busts." You have one player who played for 10 years and ended up with about 1 decent season worth of stats total. And a rookie who has only played 10 games, and played average in that time. Seriously Josh, tell me how they are classified as established stars? You are now crossing the Michigan Man-Love line. WSJ will now fiercely make up bulls*** and call it fact to prove that the guy he has been cheering for since 2001 is good enough to make it in the NFL. Prepare yourself.

whoa, the Sox got a Boras represented player to sign a contract. This is groundbreaking.

Nagin talking about his "Chocolate" New Orleans Yeah, I think Hilary and Al might have been on the same page. But Ray is definitely on his own wavelength this time.

Since we are relatively new to the World Series experience, I have been wanting to ask a question about the trophy. Is it common for it to travel the way it has been(sort of like the Stanley Cup, wherever, whenever) when other teams have it? I just dont remember other teams taking it different places like the Sox have, but that could be because I wasnt paying attention and because it was in another city. Anyone know?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 10:19 AM) Nice research by the way, but yeah you are correct. His lower body mechanics are very good, but they say that the injury to his leg may have caused a reliance on his arm which caused the stiffness. His arm motion is said to cause alot of stress on his elbow and shoulder. Thank you. I didnt think it would be dismissed as fast as it was.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 10:10 AM) Briggs played really well IMO also. Another huge problem was that they couldnt get any pressure on DelHomme. The line just wasn't there today. That is what i was afraid of most of all, was that all of the trash talk and bragging about 8 sacks was going to fire up their offensive line. And it sure did, not only did Delhomme go untouched, but the running game was on point all game. Of course, everything in the entire game was set up by the 2nd play of the game. From the first touchdown to Steve Smith, the Bears were off-kilter from that point on. They didnt know if it was a pass or a rush, and it showed.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jan 17, 2006 -> 01:32 AM) If he gets back in form hes a fine replacement for Tavarez even though that spot probably would go to King or Calero Umm, Kiko Calero was traded to the A's with Danny Haren last year for Mark Mulder. He hasnt been a Cardinal for a while.
