I hadn't thought that far ahead - you are way out in front of me - now I am pissed off -

I just looked up their records - MB has 39 wins in 3 seasons, Prior 6 wins in 1 season, and MB is a whole year older than Prior - so the so-called upside of Prior is what, exactly versus Burhrle? Is that some day Prior might win 19? amazing how we disrespect our own and always think the grass is greenier (and better weed) elsewhere

6-6 versus a 19 game winner - and how much is that age difference?

Just got the following email from the Sox: WHITE SOX ANNOUNCE SIGNINGS TUCSON, Ariz. – The Chicago White Sox have agreed to terms on one-year contracts for the 2003 season with the following 23 players: Pitchers – Jon Adkins, Edwin Almonte, Felix Diaz, Jon Garland, Matt Ginter, Gary Glover, Corwin Malone, Damaso Marte, Arnaldo Munoz, Mike Porzio, Jon Rauch, David Sanders, Josh Stewart, Brian West and Danny Wright; Catchers – Miguel Olivo and Josh Paul; Infielders – Joe Crede, Willie Harris, Tim Hummel and D’Angelo Jimenez; Outfielders – Joe Borchard and Aaron Rowand.

at least I got to turn off the tv on that one - that was one ugly game -

There is a question? An young unproven versus a young winner with All Star credentials? Not aware there was a question and not even a second to decide.

DaSoxRock, your avatar picture was really funny until that picture of Colon was posted -

Two tailgaters go round the outside, Round the outside, round the outside Guess whos back, back again Hurt is back Tell a friend Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back! He created a media monster, cuz nobody wants To see Frank no more They want Hurt on chopped liver Well if you want Hurt, then this is what he'll give ya.... 50 home runs and an MVP sticker Some concourse shots that'll jump start your heart quicker than a shock when you get shocked at U.S. Cellular by the rest of the Sox who will co-operating When Frank's rockin the Cell and the Sox operatin (hey!!) You waited this long, now stop debating Cause Frank's back, Twins on the rag and ovu-lating I know that you got a job Mariotti but our 2003 Sox will be complicating So the Tribune Comp. won't let Frank be or let Frank be he, so let me see They try to shut us down in the MLB But it won't be empty, with our victories.

Crede homer in the Cubs name? Maybe 6 times in 2003 but didn't happen in 2002 --

9 to 5 er? I suppose as Marshall Mathers would say, Yo I won't tell a lie Not a moment goes by That I don't pray to the sky Please I'm beggin you God Please don't let me be pigeon holed in a regular job I disagree with on Cal, though. He was very special in 2000. I was there at the game he broke down and it was heartbreaking. He has remarkable courage and I hope he makes it. It takes a real strong person to fight back from injuries like that.

I take it that is bad - please translate for us older people - by the way, the avatar you are using was the winner in the "what my next tattoo will be" contest - the deed will be done on Friday - I know you all wanted to know that!

not much else to talk about in Minnesota - they have to make do with what they can get!

I could never figure out Live365 twice in a row - never worked the same way time and time again - gald the change was made!

any time I can quote Eminem lyrics I will do so!

Colon looks a tad heavy, yes?

I think it was a little more astronomy than astrology!

Guess who's back Back again Frank is back Tell a friend Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back!

I agree compeltely and this is one reason I cannot be too thrilled with the Bill Veeck record. he killed us with trades like that - he was a fun guy but we get on KW and JR - but Veeck's trade history was so detrimental to the White Sox, kept trading away our future for his shoe string operation - both times.

I like the way you presented it, cubkilla - very refreshing take on it - I could easiily live with that as the last word

Knowledge of the fix doesn't translate into participating in the fix though. he had money, he took part, he hit well some of the time, he fielded well some of the time - and pulled his bat and glove in the thrown games - but under law, if you know of a criminal conspiracy and do nothing you are guilty of conspiracy - and wasn't the full quote. Say it ain't so, Joe - reply - its's so Jackson was not a top level conspirator but he was one. What a waste of a great player's career but that's where it is at -

batter, catcher, and ump levitating too

well said

Please don't tell us that "apparently" we don't know "the real story" of anything just because we disagree with you, please. Comiskey was a s***. No one exeronerates him, to my knowledge, from his role. You could add the whole WS front office and the WS attorney as people who acted with shame. That does not mean that 8 players were guiltless in throwing the series to get payoffs from gamlers. They were all very guilty and all deserved to be banned. Jackson told Comiskey, yes, and that alone says Jackson had full knowledge. Jackson was a turncoat to his 7 team mates. He took part in the conspiracy and then wanted to testify against them to make it all go away. Sorry, too late. He took the money and then tried to minimize his role. That's what people in trouble do. And it was our 8 players who f***ed us out of our heritage. Had they been on the up and up, they would have won it all in 1920 and for years after. Comiskey did not throw a world series; the players did. No love for Comskey here. But the players were guilty, guilty, guilty and the banning was very legitimate. And Landis was an asshole too. But as far as banning the players, if he hadn't of done that, baseball might have gone the way of wrestling and died as major sport.

PK had been HBP earlier in the game - when he came to that at bat, everyone in the park KNEW he was going to hit a home run, and the chants of Paulie! were the first home run chants that I ever heard before a home run - we all knew what PK was about to do, and what a feeling it was - one of the most memorable at bats in Comiskey history -
