Remember being at the Cell for Buehrle's debut. And always making sure I was near a TV when he was on the mound. Loved watching him pitch for the Sox. Always took the ball. Was never a distraction. Competed despite not having the best stuff. Was a great guy in the club house and off the field. And won games. A lot of them. Hard to imagine him pitching in another uniform, but certainly realize he had to take the deal that was best for him. I'm just sad it couldn't be in Chicago.

My favorite Sox player ever not named Frank Thomas. Thanks for the memories, Mark, and good luck in Florida. I'll still root for you.

Way to get good value for a 1st rounder, Kenny.

I'd be fine if we got a nickel for Javy. He couldn't pitch in the clutch; therefore, I have no use for the guy.

Swisher is staying. Not sure how this is even a discussion.

I was there. And booing. If I felt like he was giving us 110% every time out there, I wouldn't boo. But I just can't cheer for someone who seems content with mediocrity.

Anyone have any info on this?

Thought this was worth checking out: http://www.mouthpiecesports.com/blog/2008/...men-wear-black/

Anyone have any information? All I've seen is TBA on every site I've looked.

ALEXEI..... YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know OC isn't coming back, but I think we need more guys that are winners. Sox are a team of mental midgets. I want changes. Wait, you're calling a guy who helped lead the Sox to a World Series a bum and Orlando Cabrera a winner? The Angels surely didn't miss Cabrera and he's not exactly lighting the world on fire for the Sox.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 10:32 PM) The season is a failure if you don't win the World Series. It just is. However, there was a ton of productive things to emerge this season. I know idiots are going to say to say the whole team needs to be blown up, rebuilt, whatever, but if the Sox win 2 games up here, none of that is said. You are really basing a 5+ year plan around 2 lost games? It's dumb. There are major holes on the team. They need to be addressed. I trust Williams to get it done. Couldn't agree with you more. The whole Quentin injury pretty much derailed the season. With him healthy for the month of September, I think the Sox win the division by 5+ games. Need to get a better mix of guys on the club who don't totally rely on the home run.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 10:31 PM) Bobby Jenks failed miserably tonight And is a shell of his former self.

Considering we were expected to finish fourth in the division, I would hardly call the season a failure. Now these past three games were definitely a failure and that's putting it nicely.

Cabrera will be gone in three days. Who cares what he says? Good riddance.

BA screwed once again. Poor Brian.

I know I hardly post anymore, but having to watch this and hear Dick Bremer on the call is painful.

I prefer sitemeter, but hey, to each his own.

How's the weather in Chicago?

Thanks guys. Yes I am still alive and need to come around more. I should have more time now that hoops season has wrapped up.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 9, 2008 -> 10:11 PM) Someone got a picture of Rick Pitino's all-white suit tonight? He changed it at halftime, kind of funny (odd?)... http://cmsimg.courier-journal.com/apps/pbc...=2&MaxH=400 Supposedly he changed it because he spilled a coke on himself at halftime. Not sure if I'm buying that.

Chester Frazier, summed up perfectly today on ITH by PostmanE: "Chester Frazier, I truly love you. When you decided to shove Eric Gordon in the pre-game handshake — a fair-play gesture supposedly above the frivolous hatreds people bring to sports — you officially confirmed your d-bag status for life. What’s worse, you’re not even the kind of d-bag one can take seriously, or get mad at. You’re the type of d-bag that’s just so silly and ridiculous that all one has to do about you is laugh. You’re the guy at the HPER who wants to fight everybody. Yeah, Chester. You’re that guy. I hope you enjoy yourself; you’ll never not be that guy for the rest of your tiny little life. Too bad about the ankle, though." pwned.

Jason Gage is my hero.

Bruuuucceeee...Gotta love him.
