The Beast

wasn't taking it personally...I was kidding with quickman Its okay, i just hope Burke doesn't get claimed, he's pretty good for a backup

QUOTE(quickman @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 11:43 PM) I am not Widger is a better defensive catcher and seems to handle the pitchers just fine. Good move Alright then, quickman has spoken, i'm just a youngin who doesn't know anything, right?

I still don't see why they didn't keep Burke...he's a lot better than Widger. Davis is a piece of s***, let him go...wish we coulda gotten Kim tho instead of the Rockies.

Totally no risk move, and its a good idea on KW's part. I'm disappointed in not keeping Burke and keeping Widger...

Let me start out by saying that Cliff Politte is garbage, and I found it absolute bulls*** that the White Sox couldn't find anyone better in free agency than that piece of s***. Secondly, trade Davis, I mean yeah, he was decent when he was with us, but he's nothing overly spectacular for a back-up. I like Burke better than Davis. The reason we've been carrying 3 catchers is because of injuries and liability of cash flow on the roster. It is silly to keep Davis and send Burke down, potentially losing him. Widger sucks, let him go. If we can pry Kim from the Red Sox, I say we take him. Seriously, I don't care about Bmac right now, we can save him for later. Or is there a rule that he has to be on the 40 at the start of the year or he can't be called up? I'd think we'd be able to get rid of Politte and Davis...it might work, if we got that 40 spot for BMac and that pitcher in Kim.

I'm scared. Contreras will give me an ulcer before the end of the year with the way he pitches. I don't give a flying f*** if he's in the desert, thats still no excuse for all these runs. I'm also a little nervous about Hernandez, but he pitches every 5th day, so I'm fine with that. Buehrle's injury has slowed his progress, so he really won't have time to tune up b4 the season. Thomas...man, I like what I see from Everett. And Burke...he'll be in AAA, though I'd release that piece of s*** Davis in a millisecond. I would also have to say that I'm not impressed with Politte. I think its garbage that Kenny thinks he can get it done with his 95 mph pitches. Its not always about speed, but with the types of pitches, and pin point accuracy.

I'll be at opening day. Shoot me a PM if I'm invited to the tailgaiting party, or if you want to meet up with me. I'll buy a beer or two...

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 10:29 PM) CH. 7 just said its not a stressed bone and He's now DAY TO DAY YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD...YES Beat me to it. Quickman, look what you did to my heart rate!

Right, I'm sure Kenny Williams reads here...your crazy

I'd give him a minor league deal. Go ahead and mock me, but vets who used to be good and are "washed up" can come back. Thats all.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 12:02 PM) I do have to say Brandon impresses me more and more the more I hear about him. I hope Politte doesn't faulter tho if he does, I hope Brandon comes up. He's a great insurance policy if El Duque goes down. I think thats one of the only reasons Kenny Williams signed Hernandez is that he has McCarthy to fill in for him. Adkins should begin on the club, I have not liked what I have seen from Cotts thus far.

QUOTE(quickman @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:37 PM) Mackowiak is better than borchard, why would they give him up? I'd do that trade in a heart beat. I'm not saying what I really think of Borchard until ST ends and due to respect he is a member of the family on this site. God damn Terry, how've you been!?

QUOTE(danman31 @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) I'm pretty sure that was him. He struggled in the field though. Whatever dude, I thought he did good hitting tho, he can be sloppy, its ST.

#39 was tearing it up...is that Valdez? If so, I really like him!

Good to see Be Good back for his short visit. I'm actually wanting a normal black Sox hat, but I don't know where to get em besides lids. I want it fitted, not a s***ty one...thoughts of a hat cheaper than 25.00???

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 05:19 PM) Not a big deal at all because it's early in spring training, but the Sox looked bad today. Every time they had a chance to execute ... they didn't. Runners getting thrown out at the plate, guys getting picked off, yikes. Ugly. Terrible bunt by Alvarez in the 9th as well. You can bet Ozzie is already frustrated by the inability to execute he's seen in the first several games. Again ... no big deal but the Sox beat themselves today which is the exact opposite of what Ozzie is preaching. I hope they don't lead the league this year in getting runners picked off. What were the positives of the game and negatives? I think we need to give those to the people who don't feel like reading 22 pages and wasting 20 min. of our lives doing so. From what I saw from the regulars, we looked pretty good for ST...

Here's what I believe will clear Frank's name. Thomas was a tight end and linebacker at Auburn, so he obviously does football training. Weights, and speed, though not excelling at speed , he has got huge muscles that look pure. If I were Frank, I'd piss in a f***ing cup and prove those bastards wrong.

I've got the same card, same autograph, black pen. He played catcher, and in interleague for MVP all I do is put Thomas at 1st and Konerko at catcher.

I hope he's in shape. He'll have lots of pitches to see with our weakness in power.

Box score at www.whitesox.com... F Thomas, CF...

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 01:18 PM) Maybe because there isn't a game today.. my bad, wednesday...i just am so anxious to see the guys play again

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) sell it to the cubbie bear. Get the jersey fixed by nfl.com? Idk if they do that or not though.

ESPN Radio 1000 is not broadcasting the game today.

QUOTE(El Piervizdyeguchansodnik @ Feb 27, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) This is pretty stupid on the girls part. I asked the girl out, she said yes. She said yes, but she knew she was moving to Texas in a month. 2 weeks later she tells me. I was pissed. I hear you, the couple I was with last night had the same issue. You see, they broke up, but are really good friends with benefits. They could go back out at any time. She liked a guy (who isn't a good guy) who was moving to Florida. He doesn't really liked her, and she said "I can't go back out with him because If I go out with him and like him and another guy, it just wouldn't feel right." So the one she likes is moving to Florida. (Thank god) And now my buddy will prolly, hopefully hook up with her, again.

Ahhh...relationships... Well nothing really serious happened until high school. Little 7th and 8th grade 2-a-day stays don't count. Met a girl in high school that thought I was pretty, she liked me, and she was pretty cool. Went out for 6 months, and she just didn't fit what I wanted, besides it wasn't that eventful, god knows how honest she was with me anyway. Went out with my best friend for 2 months, and we haven't talked lots since, but she sure is one of the most wonderful people i've met, and we mutually broke up. Nowadays, I'm finding myself with a beautiful freshman who has got the funniest and one of the greatest personalities i've encountered. Went to turnabout with her last night. May have been the best night of my life. I learned something, go in small groups to a dance, like a double date. It was assloads of fun...and all I could say is that the girl I'm with, was beautiful last night. Yes, Beastly is romantic...
