QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 04:14 PM) Tex, not every illegal immigrant in this country picks crops or busses tables. How many meat packing pants have been raided lately? Those are good paying jobs that people lined for inthe hundreds when they were available. We talked about all this in other threads, I have no problems with a viable guest worker program, but then they wouldn't be here ILLEGALLY then, would they. Anyone not here on a guest worker program should be promptly shown the way out of the country. Speaking of wisdom ^^^^^^^

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 06:35 PM) Brady Shoemaker and Kent Gerst are playing for Charlotte. And Eugencio Fulginco or something or other. Exactly the same type of situation last year with Oney. Except then people just used it as another reason to b****.

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 04:28 PM) just pm me if you ever want my assistance for making a wallpaper. my signature is an example of some of my work. I'm taking this comment to be a joke. Nice work on the wallpaper, as usual.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 04:04 PM) Looking forward to seeing him and deciding whther he was worth trading a 15 game winning picther for. My hope is yes he was and is 15-20 some games in September should not be a basis for that decision, for anyone.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 02:49 PM) T-Flow will be wearing #39, but I doubt that will be his official number if he makes the team next spring .. thats the number Getz wore last year when he got the call up so I am just assuming I want to change my username to TFlow## .. but ill have to wait What's wrong with your current name?

QUOTE (stretchstretch @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 02:56 PM) exactly, BOS and NYY are teaming with 35 and older guys and look how they're doing we only need to lose one >35yr old, and his name is Ozzie Fail.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 11:09 AM) Found this on another site: "To me, Thome symbolizes KW giving right back in to the urge to have the same offense he had from 01-04. On the WS video, he brags about dumping Maggs, Carlos, and Jose to become more versatile. The next season we become station to station again. This team needed to dump Thome. It needs speed and non-pull hitters. Get back to pitching and defense. " Well if some poster said that on another site we might as well just go carve that into stone.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 11:05 AM) Sure you can compare the deals. Outside of your rampant speculation (which means nothing) to infer Jose deserved to have more value, I simply was making a point that Contreras netting more than Thome amazed me, because I think Thome can still produce, whereas, Contreras is a BP pitcher at this point. I never said he deserved more. Find where I said that. I said he was more valuable to Colorado than Thome was to LAD, which you can clearly see by the fact that one team up an actual prospect and one gave up nothing. Well you don't work for a major league baseball team do you. Cuz apparently there were people interested. I dont know, but they were and they're the ones making the decisions. Yeah, you can. It's dumb and doesn't make sense, but you're right, you can. The Thome was not awful. We shed his salary and gave him a shot at a ring. We're not going to miss his production for the next 34 days. He's a FA at the end of the year and we're done this year.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 10:49 AM) I said it was awful, because we got nothing for him, which surprised me since he is a guy still with good power from the left side. But if you had read my post you will notice I disclaim that comment with the comment that I said Kenny got all he could get for him. Even if nothing was all he could get, that still doesn't make it a good trade. Maybe we're freeing up money, I don't know, but we just as well should have given Thome to the Dodgers and save the paper work on transferring the player from the Dodgers to the Sox. Juxtapose this deal with the other deal we made. We DID get something of value for Contreras and Jose is horrid. You can't compare deals. Obviously Contreras was more important to Colorado than Thome was to LAD. Also, who knows, maybe another team inquired about Jose too, thus raising his value. Sending Thome to LAD was basically a gift to Jim. Complaining about it is really useless and silly.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 09:55 AM) Meh. There are "fans" for every team out there that think like this about their own players. I'm glad you put "fans" in quotes. I wouldn't have been so complimentary.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 02:51 PM) Ummm, the 2000 election was stolen. Just like the 1960 election was stolen. You see what you want to see.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 08:46 AM) Any word on a new timetable for his return? Hopefully April 2010

Great player, great person. I'm rooting for the Dodgers now so Thome can hopefully get that ring he deserves. He had some great moments here and is a perfect ambassador for the game of baseball and how it's meant to be played. He did things the right way. Kudos and good luck

Truly a classy individual. Accepted a demotion to help better himself and his team. Worked his ass off to get back here early after a devastating injury. I have nothing but respect for the man. He was absolutely dominant for a stretch of about a year before getting hurt. Thanks for 2005 Count. Good luck in Colorado.

f***ing Casilla. Well, time for bed. Nathan in the 9th and then just 2 more games to go.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 10:19 PM) And if Brandon Allen puts up .260/.330/.470 and Tony Pena puts up 2.50 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and pitches 75 innings, who is more valuable? Don't even bother. He loves that flawed line of thinking.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 10:24 PM) Doesn't Viciedo have to play 1B? Is he really capable of playing adequate defense at any other spot? He's been playing there in Birmingham the past few days

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 10:23 PM) Really, have you heard that from the organization? I hope that's not true. I'm not sold on Getz or Nix as everyday 2B when we have Beckham and Alexei capable of anchoring the MIF. And Viciedo has only played one game at 1B as a member of the Sox. The writing's on the wall.

QUOTE (whitesoxmanager @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 10:17 PM) here is my quote... "i will be the first to state that gambling might have a lot more to do with this teams overall performance than anyone can ever imagine." you draw whatever conclusion you want from it. lets just say this...if we ever have a beer together i will blow your mind away with things you never considered. and i am not the only fan from chicago to bring these things up. but i am definitely not stupid enough to bring it to any forum. hell no. You already did. And that's quite the accusation to even be insinuating.

Birmingham Game 2 Viciedo with a 2nd inning HR. I don't care what anyone says, I have no problem with the season he's had. At 20 years old in AA, he's been great.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 09:15 PM) Want to talk about a team that just doesn't care? How about Ozzie not putting Nix in motion on the 3-1 pitch to Pods in the 3rd? Yeah, that logic works.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 09:02 PM) You ever notice how a lot of players are good prior to arriving, then suck here, then get good again after they leave? No.

What was Ozzie so pissed about that he had to go out there? The call or the ump chirping at AJ?
