QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 12:23 PM) Surprisingly, Iowa State is sweeping up the Iowa ones..... Kalapse must be leading a message board charge over there.... No. 1 Iowa vs. No. 2 Mich is one of the best college football games in history (Even a Michigan fan will admit this). It was leading by a substantial margin when I voted yesterday. I can't believe it's losing by the wide margin it is now. Hilton vs. Kinnick vs. Carver is a joke. Hilton has both of them covered, and it's not even close. Kinnick is an institution. Pink visitors lockerroom. The front row is where the bench is at most stadiums, been around forever. Carver Hawkeye is a great place to watch a game, a beautiful facility. Hilton, has gained a raucous crowd lately, but it's anticeptic. For those in the area who haven't been there, it's a slightly larger UIC pavillion. HOW IS DAN GABLE NOT THE BEST ATHLETE???? He did what Sanderson did, but back then people cared about wrestling. He then went to Iowa and built the best wrestling program in the country. It's gone in the crapper since he retired, and now all of the top schools can trace their roots to Gable and Iowa. Jay Berwanger -- Com'on! .2% WTF!!! learn your history you douchebags at least the White Sox have tripled their percentage since I voted yesterday. WOO-HOO 2.1%

TIMO AT FIRST!!!!! f*** YOU OZZIE!!!!!

Liriano will be with the Twins by August.

I'm hearing that Mueller for Romero is dead. Minny doesn't want to give up anyone from the current roster, at least not a contributing member anyway. There is a big deal in the works between Boston and Philly. The White Sox have definately inquired about Wagner, but have shyed away due to the steep asknig price. (Read: Boston will get him)

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) Shingo is not a "long" reliever. Adkins can give us 5 or 6 innings if we need someone to eat innings. Baj was mentioned as a long man earlier, yet he's been a closer all season, so he wouldn't qualify for that role either. If Adkins is up and used for 5 or 6 innings we won't be looking at a "win" that day. ---- I brought it up before (kinda) in another thread, there's another reason for Adkins' ineffectiveness besides the 'working on a new pitch' line. CoughcoughvelocitydropcoughCough. I don't know what he's throwing lately, but back when school was still in session, I was getting reports of noticable drop in velocity compared to last year. Read into that what you will. From the 2002 AFL: http://www.minorleaguewatch.com/AZFall/fin-02alc.html Adkins was throwing a 91-93 MPH fastball with tons of movement last season. I haven't heard anything since May, but that pitch was replaced by and 88-89 MPH straightball, according to what I've heard. It could have changed since then. I'm just laying out the anecdotal evidence for all to see. Draw your own conclusions. Make your own accusations. I'm done on the subject.

I got to celebrate today (It's still not my B-Day here) by sitting in the DMV for two hours.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 11:19 PM) Keep the new guy for now. We've kep benchwarmerjim so far so why not him. As long as he stays within line. Nitetrain, here's the party line, assuming I can speak for all of the other mods and admins (which is a huge assumption) -- He's regitered about 10 names on this and other boards. (G-Man, Twins Rule, Twins sux, Go Sox, Fry the Twinkies, Crash, etc...) He's a 14 year old kid who's got nothing better to do than trash sox sites. If you want you can spam his blog with gay porn links. (that probably doesn't have the full backing of the admins, but I'm done with that kid) -- http://whitesoxsuck.blogspot.com/ -- Jim is welcome to stay. He's a good poster who isn't here to start trouble. G-Man's M.O. is to get a few hundred posts under the radar before he really has a good time turning the board to s***. Argue for him to stay all you want. He's gone.

QUOTE(fry the twinkies @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 11:09 PM) WHAT!!!??? I'm not bashing the Sox here. NSBB said that they don't want that type of language on their board. I also called the Yankees the "Yuckies", said all Pujols can do is swing for the fences, and wrote in my sig that the general public is fat, lazy, and stupid. You're BANNED>>> CRASH, G-MAN whatever you call yourself. I've seen your blog. YOU ARE GONE.

Just ban him. If he can't even post on NSBB without being banned, he's not going to last here.

QUOTE(fry the twinkies @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 10:57 PM) They kicked me off for spelling Pujols's name "Pooholes", although I did get a new computer. Is the IP different on a new computer You have to perform a special procedure to change your IP. First you open your case. Next locate your mother board. Third, poor two liters of Mountain Dew over the entire circuitry, making sure to saturate everything (processer, RAM, etc.). You should be good. If not repeat with Mr. Pibb.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) LMAO. He can stand out there and pretend to be an outfielder but he can't field worth a damn. Horrible fielder. Gloadlike -- It's only two letters difference from Godlike, but it's a long ways off.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 08:50 PM) I thought the same thing. They play tight in front of big crowds. :headshake where's your data to back that up... Their lone win in Oakland on the last trip out west was in front of 45,000, which was more people than the other two days combined.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) has 2 base hits. First of all, I'd like to know what he wrote directly over his crotch.... Second. Maggs has 2 more hits in the first two ABs tonight than Dmitri Young has against us all year. Sux it Dmitri. Go fight with the royals or something.

0-5 w/RISP

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 07:35 PM) Yes. Shame on you guys... (For the all-out, willing-to-crash-into-the-wall way he plays cf.) Or it could be that motocross accident too... :rolly:

MJ&H just reported that there are no more tix available for tonight. Sellout.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 03:01 PM) Gload isn't healthy. He can't play the OF because he still can't throw. But here's the thing, Timo was 'injured' all last year. We were told at the beginning of the season that Timo was playing with, as Wanstedt would put it, 'a hamstring.' There's an obvious double standard when it comes to the two.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 01:20 PM) BTW, Rosenthal just called Lowell "Sammy Sosa's twin" hahahaha Actually he didn't. That would be irresponsible. He has to face these players. Witch-hunting them isn't going to get you anywhere. -- However, he did quote a nameless MLB executive. -- But if your into accusations, hey, you're posting at a record pace today, YOU MUST BE ON THE JUICE.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) Ster-oids!!! Ster-oids!!!! you could say the same thing about Adkins....

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 11:04 AM) Levine thinks Adkins will be brought up eventually. Is he smoking crack today?

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:39 AM) Scott Rolen has been better That's debateable, in that Crede has logged about 50% more innings at the hot corner than Rolen. I'll admit that I forgot Rolen when I ran that statement through my mind, but I'll stand by it. -- This is coming from someone who called Crede's defense overrated as little as 6 months ago. I'm by no means a Crede apologist. -- To say he's not Gold Glove caliber is ridiculous though. It needed a response. He's been the best defensive 3B in the AL this season, and I don't think there's any debating that.

QUOTE(trexer @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 01:59 AM) Crede is nowhere near Gold Glove quality, so defense can be improved at 3rd Base and there are other alternatives out there that could be added to the team via trade such as Cincinnati's Randa. Credibility lost. No one in baseball has played better defense at 3B than Crede this year. No one.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:00 AM) Well i will only believe when 1 of the sources say its true I'm a source. It's true. Believe me.

http://thejuice.baseballtoaster.com/ Will Carroll is a writer for Baseball Prospectus. He writes 'Under the Knife,' and has connections to MLB staffs. Baltimore is severely overpaying in this circumstance, and we'd be wise to drop out. As it is, I feel we'd be wise to drop out and let the AL East fight for him. I guess they're still scouting shingo... Told you so.
