[RUMOR]

Moronatti has his say.

[Hangar18's Chicago NewsMedia Watch Thread]

The best way to get an answer from him is to lock this thread.

 

please dont, I feel he might reply. That could be fun to watch

[Official Flubs Suck Thread]

so why isnt barrett suspended yet?

 

everyone involved aside from Joey Cora went through appeals first. It takes a while

[AND THATS A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!!!!!!&a]

after losing the first series against Texas, i was a little nervous going into the series with Detroit and Cleveland. After taking the series against the Tigers and now winning the series against the Indians, I am feeling much better about this club than I was a week ago. Thornton got into trouble once, and he got burned. Jenks looked great once again, despite a walk. how much more can you say about how valuable Ozuna is? A really good game to watch, thats for sure.

[6/10 Game Thread]

What is the likelihood that this game is rained out? Anyone have a good idea?

[Rockies Look for Character]

Gammons talked about this the day of the draft. I'm suprised there hasn't been much talk of this on ESPN or anything.

 

Boers and Bernstein had a pretty long talk about this the other day, Wednesday or Thursday i believe. It was a pretty hot topic, people were calling in to defend both sides. Bernstein took issue with the way it is forced upon the players, and he based it off of comments by Mark Sweeney of the SF Giants, who played in Colorado for 2 years. Sweeney said something to the effect of "I dont mind the practice, I am christian and it doesnt bother me that they want to have a stronger presence, I just dont like when they feel the need to search your locker for a playboy....", (not verbatim) and from quotes from the Owner that mentioned that God had a strong hand in their success. Bernstein likened the entire practice to the Friends of Christ that sprung up in the NFL(through the Jacksonville Jaguars), and asked the question "Isnt this offensive to Christians on other teams? Why would god go out of his way to help the rockies when there are practicing Christians on every team?". Very interesting calls and remarks on the show.

 

And as far as Mesa is concerned, not only did he threaten to kill Vizquel, but he also had a rape charge levied at him a few years back. And he drilled Vizquel again this year and was suspended for it.

[Sad Day for Wrestling Fans]

Funk is in much better shape than he should be. He's 62 years old and still able to pull off relatively entertaining matches. He's been told by doctors that he should not even be able to walk without intense pain due to all the hardcore stuff he's put himself through (i.e. his numerous deathmatches in Japan, the classic Born to Be Wired against Sabu, etc.)

 

Funk is in detrimental physical shape after 41 years of taking bumps and doing crazy s*** to entertain paying fans across the world. Roberts crashed and burned because of booze and drugs. There's a massive difference between the two.

 

I understand that, I didnt call Funk a druggie. A good portion of that show was about those two, and I just mentioned he was in bad shape because, like you said, he shoulndt be able to walk because of his hardcore persona. It is sad to see a mans family cry because he wants to have another match.

 

Jake has really lost it. I remember him at the height of his mullet-ness, and I loved watching him wrestle whether he was the heel(most of the time) or the face.

[Outfield Posibilities]

I'm not sure Xbox would let you do such a move.

 

LOL, touche'

[Abu Musab al - Zarqawi]

somebody quick, get Iggy and his tinfoil hat!

[Outfield Posibilities]

get uribe hitting like he was in the playoffs again, then stick him in cf and have cintron play ss

 

 

hahahaha, i like XBox too.

[Sad Day for Wrestling Fans]

Yep, he went "insane" and turned on the Ultimate Warrior after he helped Warrior train for his match against the Undertaker. He went from there to feud with Randy Savage and even had the viper "bite" (total kayfabe here) Savage when he got tied up in the ropes.

 

Sad thing is that Jake could have been one of the better wrestlers and characters of the 80s/90s if it hadn't been for him abusing drugs and booze so damn bad. Anybody who saw the lowlights from the Legends of Wrestling show in 1999 knows exactly what I'm talking about.

 

That was a sad show. Jake and Funk are in terrible shape.

[Sean Tracey]

The comcast gun is slow, not as slow as the WCIU/WGN gun, but it's still a few ticks slow. He was probably 92-94 tonight, but that is also with just 2 days rest after starting and pitching 7 innings on Monday.

 

Hawk complained about the gun throughout the series. Strange that they can get a true reading in the park, but they cannot on the TV.

[Crede]

I plan on going back after my lifetime ban expires.

 

Seriously, I'm just trying to inform another segment of Sox fans who may have been blinded to the insight I awaken in them.

 

With the reasoning and logic you display, I cannot imagine why you have a lifetime ban.....

 

Yes, DJ and Hawk are homers who defend any and all plays from the White Sox, but this doesnt mean that Crede's defense is over-rated. You point out two errors in the past year that somehow make his defense over-rated. Doesnt that seem a bit wierd to you? How many chances does he get all year, and how many errors does he make? Is he on par with the rest of the 3Bs in the league error-wise? Did his one error against Boston prevent him from ever becoming a "clutch" gold glove player?

[AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!]

someone needs to update the standings on the front page.

 

Im disgusted by the lack of timely updates.

 

The Sox take it to the Tigers prized prospect once again. Verlander still pitched well, but Jose pretty much matched him inning for inning. Jenks was awesome once again, Neal Cotts looked really good in his outing, Thome jacked one, it was a pretty good night at the cell all things considered. the sox look like they are picking up a little swagger again.

[2006 White Sox Catch-All Thread]

BY CHRIS DE LUCA Staff Reporter

 

 

Ozzie Guillen began the dismantling process less than a year on the job as White Sox manager, slowly discarding stars -- Esteban Loaiza, Miguel Olivo, Carlos Lee -- who didn't fit his criteria of winners and replacing them with players whose personalities spoke louder than their numbers.

 

I saw this in this mornings Sun-Times. I disagree with this assessment, I think that Ozzie/KW replaced those players with guys whose actions spoke louder than their personalities. Aside from AJ, this team is pretty low-key and out of the spotlight.

[Official Get Jermaine Dye to start the ALL Star game Thread]

bump this thread. Jermaine is on a tear

[Zambrano to South Side?]

I don't recall Zambrano having problems with teammates. It's usually aimed at himself or the umps. Plus, he's young. He can mature. Everyone is crazy at 21 or 22. He's just a little moreso.

 

he has shown up a few teamates on the field this year, I think Matt Murton and maybe Hairston, I cannot remember for sure. Something about them making an error on the field, and he got all pissed about it and started pointing fingers and stuff. And he is a problem for teammates when he pulls some of these antics, how are you supposed to go to play for a pitcher who is telling the other team that he is going to bean them in the head? And it isnt the first time he has done that either.

 

I definitely agree he may be Bi-Polar or have ADHD, he certainly displays the signs when he is on the field.

 

I think the Sox would make sure he would agree to sorting himself out while he is a member of the club, but I dont think he is ever going to be on the Sox so it is really moot.

[Rumor heard during Phillies-Dodgers game...]

The rumor's probably Soxtalk-driven like the 'roids thread was.

 

a similar thread just showed up on chicagosports.com

 

the news is spreading, and spreading fast. Maybe Soxtalk can will this trade to happen like the New York newspapers do

[Zambrano to South Side?]

Passion/Intensity or Insanity?

 

The guy is a bonafide nutcase.

 

He'll be out of the league by the age of 26 after striking out on a pitch off the outside corner he'll go bizerk breaking his bat in half over his head then stabbing the umpire to death with the broken end of the bat.

 

DO YOU REALLY WANT THAT TO HAPPEN ON THE SOUTH SIDE!?!? WELL, DO YOU !?!?

 

Are you forgetting that pitchers in the AL don't hit??

Why do you even think a Cubs-Sox trade is going to happen?? :headshake :headshake :headshake

And I don't want that s***. He's been taking shots at us since he signed w/ the Cubs.

Zambrano would insist on hitting in the AL, he believes himself to be a great hitter and is in fact a switch hitter. This will leave the AL team with an option of who to use the DH on.

 

Well do you think a manager would take that risk of him getting injured?

It doesn't really matter, it will be part of his next contract. The clause will give him the option to hit in any game played with the DH. If you try to stop him he will eat your face.

 

is that all true?

 

Firing Boras, yes. IDK if there is a stipulation allowing AL pitchers to hit

 

It never ceases to amaze me how much Kalapse can sucker people into ridiculous(hilarious) conversations. I mean, he even said that Zambrano would eat your face and Cuck the Fubs took it in stride and mentioned that there may or may not be a rule about pitchers batting in the AL. LMAO

[2006 White Sox Catch-All Thread]

1.) They decide who the pick to click was on their own after the game, they don't have a specific system just whoever has the best game out of the 3 is the winner. Hawk usually wins.

 

2.) Same scoreboard, nothing new about it.

 

3.) I think it was just a lapse in concentration he though maybe thought that Pablo would get there easy so he was jogging in already.

 

Also, I really like DJ as most people seem to now adays. He's become a fan favorite amoungst Sox fans. I still relaly like Hawk simply becuase he is what he is, a massive homer who appears to be going senile. He doesn't pretend to be something he's not.

 

 

I think I might pay attention for a month or so and see if Hawk is really winning these competitions or if they are just throwing up random scores. Because I cannot recall a time when he was ever losing, he is always in the lead. Every year.

Not as good as the X-Men one, but still very solid.

 

i agree. But if you watch it a few times you hear a few things you didnt catch the first time. When they are doing the little flip over the camera those guys were saying some hilarious s***. Blue ranger and the crab were the best of the bunch
