What would you do if you were Grilli.... Last season, after the Sox claimed him in the Rule 5, he wasn't able to make the Club... Then when we had a HOLE at SP, his position, he wasn't given the chance to fill the HOLE on the big club until after we were out of it.... Then when he finally was given the opportunity, he was showed why management had tried everything and the kitchen sink ahead of him...

QUOTE(Mr. Zero @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 06:10 PM) Arrested Development sucks so much. Quality decision by Fox. Addition by subtraction. Yeah they were missing "flyover country" with Arested Development. Smart decision by Fox... :rolly

I wanted him to be defending the Bulls, but I couldn't find a suitable pic...

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 08:13 PM) I take it you didn't care for my entry. I laughed -- I saw it last night b4 I headed to bed... So i was more disappointed to see nothing else

I'm sorry.

QUOTE(Chisoxmatt @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 07:37 PM) I think it would be a good thing for diaz. The level of play is below that of MLB but above AAA where he dominates. It sure did wonders for Timo Perez :rolly

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 06:28 PM) no one else wants to take a shot? Yeah I was hoping to come back from Jury Duty and be amused... I'll get something going later tonight

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) I just want to find a job that pays me tons of cash for the least bit possible hehe Is that too much to ask?? I had Jury Duty today --- $17.20 for me \m/ Too bad I put 50 miles on my truck round trip, and had to buy lunch. 50Miles/13MPG = 3.84Gallons * $1.99/G = $7.65 + lunch ($5.67) = 13.32 $17.20 - 13.32 = $3.88 divided by 6 hours of my day = $0.65 per hour.... So I've got that going for me.....

Saw this image on Fark -- it was begging to be played with --- so have at it.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Feb 7, 2005 -> 06:05 PM) I don't think it gets much funnier than that. I got a friend to do some translating: takatsu hella dirty (hygenic wise not dirty playin) player.. -makes some noise- "im not cowering because im afraid of crap, its cuz its dirty" It makes a little more sense now. Shingo is dirty? Substitute the word dirty with "filthy" and you've got it... Makes much more sense that way.

Over at BTF, they said that the Freddy Garcia one is about him looking like the rock... Freddy says "do you smell what the rock is cookin'?" and he's got the Rock eye thing going on.

QUOTE(Frank the Tank 35 @ Feb 7, 2005 -> 11:19 PM) Don't get me wrong, I love watching a ball get hit out of the park, but the Marlins pretty much summed up what the underspending Sox need to do in order to beat teams like the Yankees with all their sluggers. The marlins have a line-up that Turns over -- They have a much better (non-pitching)OBP than the sox. Their top of the Line-up is far superior to anything the sox have put together in recent years.... 2004 Florida Chisox #1 .383 .349 #2 .366 .303 2003 Florida Chisox #1 .355 .333 #2 .379 .340

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Feb 7, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) Maybe I missed something during the process, but I don't remember us offering the same $60 million contract after he got hurt. Did everybody else know this? Yes there was a period of time where Maggs knee was not thought to be anything serious... I believe the offer was on the table until he went back on the DL after that 10 game stretch that he returned to play.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Feb 5, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) For when Billy Beane wants to get "kinky" That's the wrong bill bean. :headshake http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/beanbi01.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/beanebi01.shtml

I think MJ played for 2 years after that.

1 sim means nothing, but there's obviously something wrong with the ratings -- Arizona, in 100 sims should never make the playoffs, let alone win the series. They're a 75 win team, tops.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 7, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) Of course And then Joe Posnanski, when the Royals were in last place by a million games, comes out with an article..."I guarantee the Royals will win the division.' HAHA, LMFAO Here's his 2005 version where he say, begrudgingly, the same thing... http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/sports/10828010.htm

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 7, 2005 -> 06:31 PM) Most publications had the White Sox winning in 02 and 03 too. Don't forget all those royals predictions last year...

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 7, 2005 -> 05:43 PM) I totaled the numbers & the AL is a LOT stingier than the NL. If you believe his 70 SB was reflective of a league which gave away 1405 SB then you'd have to accept that a league giving up only 1127 SB is going to net Pods about 58 SB max. Another way of looking at this. O4 SB leaders: AL Crawford 59, Ichiro 36 NL Pods 70, Pierre 45 84%, 80% It's uncanny how those numbers work out. AL/NL = 84%, Crawford/Pods = 84%. It's funny how in one post you can arbitrarily subtract win shares from a player because "he played in the NL", then here, you compare SB totals for two leauges. Neglecting, 1)that the NL has 2 more teams. 2)The AL has three teams that preach the "moneyball" philosophy and not giving away outs through the SB. 3) The AL has the DH which changes the complexion of the entire league, and the need for the SB.

There's a guy who know's Korean translating some of these over at BTF...

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 7, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) Alright someone explain the Tony Batista one to me. Translation: The Batista figure talks about his extremely open stance, where he says "I always stand face to face," while the other guy says "you better not do that in the shower.

I hope the greedy SOB hides his injury from the tiggers, puting up Borchard-like numbers, but appearing in enough games to guarantee his 7 year contract.... Good luck dealing with that s*** Dtroit.
