I guess he just pulled that last one out of his ass...

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) I'm telling you - THAT f***ing Rowand play is the whole damn series. I yelled f*** so loud the whole damn neighborhood heard me when that happened. Son of a b**** I know that play was it. We play SO much different when up 2-0 as compared to the 1-0 at the time. And we WOULD have scored that second run. Yeah, when Rowand got thrown out i just had a feeling that was our last best chance at a run...

I'm willing to bet anything Frank Thomas will be back next season for something like $4-5M guaranteed (plus $3M in incentives). If the Sox don't give him a contract he'll pick up his option, so they'll probably be willing to give him a $4-5M, then just let him walk for $3.5M.

ERA over 6.00 in AAA for Josh, he'll probably be hammered.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 11:42 PM) It's just some numbers on a gun, which are notoriously inaccurate. He did allow a double on the play. Well both the WGN gun and the gun at SafeCo had him at 102. I doubt it was really 102, but that's still f***en fast.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 09:50 PM) Torres takes no hitter into the ninth for Kanny. Too bad the first guy he see's in the 9th is a solo HR. Still a great outing thought.

You do realize that Cleveland had the lowest bullpen ERA in all of baseball and their starters are slightly above average. They might not have great pitching, but it certainly doesn't "stink".

QUOTE(uncle_sanchez @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 05:29 PM) Hey I ve seen this kid play all his life.. (Hense the name.) he has surprised even those who expected him to be where he is now.. I ll make a prediction that by 2007 he will be taking a trip to Southside Chitown in september or so. java script:emoticon(':gosox1:') smilie Not saying he can't do it, but if he's even in AA by 2007 i'd call it good progress.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) Mine's broken. I can't read anything after the 'more' link. Same here.

Remember they only announce paid attendance, there could have been 40K, but only 37K paid.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) Shhhhhh, the Red Sox might hear you Let them hit the panic button because the Yanks are on their heels. The white sox would probably fare better vs. Burnett than Arroyo anyway. Most teams have figured out all you need to do against Arroyo is stack the lineup with lefties. The man has a OPS agianst around .850 vs. lefties.

QUOTE(Jake @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 10:07 PM) Whose team is the best in the bigs? That plays with arguably the best division in the bigs? That has to make you more deserving, helping your team to the best record in the bigs. Hey, i'd much rather see a White Sox representing the best record in baseball, but it's an All-Star game, not an MVP award. Right now Halladay has the best stats and even thought his contributions might not be as valuable as Garland or Buehrle, they are the most impressive at this point.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) Thank you very much. Run support: Jon Garland: 7.11 Mark Buehrle: 4.00 Roy Halladay: 3.71 A main factor in pitchers picking up wins is runs is run support, thus making Halladay's 10 wins ever more impressive.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) Why? Halladay 10-4, 2.53 ERA, 11 QS, 0.95 WHIP Buehrle 8-1, 2.67 ERA, 11 QS, 1.05 WHIP Garland 12-2, 3.40 ERA, 10 QS, 1.09 WHIP and seeing as Halladay also has more IP and Ks i'd say he's more worthy. BTW, Kenny Rogers should get some consideration too.

Even though it'd be nice to see a White Sox start the AS game again, at this point i think Roy Halladay is most deserving.

No it's not a near sellout, but if you plan on sitting together you'll probably end up somewhere high in the UD. Lower deck usually has 4-5 empty seats together tops on Monday's.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 08:27 PM) No hints. All I'll say is you'll be happy and it's not Ulacia. Is it Dennis Ulacia?

Since late '95, early '96, which would put be at about 8-9 years old.

A base stealer is only effective if his success rate it above 75%. Scotty has so far been around 80% for his career, so he can be classified as a productive base stealer. If Scotty can keep his OBP above .350 and keep the steal rate above 75% he's an elite leadoff man. IF the steal rate falls below 75% he's better off just staying at first. These numbers don't however take into account the affect a productive base stealer has on a pitcher. here some info about SB effectiveness: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=2607

I don't think the Sox would be willing to give up anything even slightly significant for Feliz. Lets see: Crede: .229 AVG, .300 OBP, .408, SLG, .708 OPS, Age: 27, Scoring Position: .821 OPS, 2005 Salary: $400,000 Feliz: .272 AVG, .309 OBP, .442 SLG, .751 OPS, Age: 31, Scoring Position: .658 OPS, 2005 Salary: $2,325,000 Seeing as how Feliz is older, more expensive and hasn't been exactly great at third base. Not to mention he's not a significant upgrade on offense. Giving up any real prospect for Feliz would be idiotic.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 8, 2005 -> 10:18 PM) The tv guys are saying Marte's velo is down. 88 on the fastball. Herm Schneider walks Marte off the mound, something is the matter with him. Just to point out the Comcast gun was kinda slow today. El Duque never hit above 85, Politte never hit above 91, and Anderson has been right around 89-91 .

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jun 5, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) That's a terrible way of looking at things. No it's not. I'm a fan, i watch baseball for entertainment purposes. Why should i second guess every move the manger makes? That's KW's job, that's some jackass reporters job. All i ask from Ozzie and the Sox is to bring me some worthy entertainment, they've done that. So sit back relax and enjoy the ride. b****ing about Ozzie won't improve his crappy bullpen management and he's not getting fired any time soon. Enjoy being in first place and holding the league's best record in early June, it might be a while until the Sox are in this position again.

Is Ozzie terrible at managing a bullpen? Yes. Is Ozzie for some strange reason infatuated with Timo? Yes. Are the Sox 37-18? YES, SO WHO THE f*** CARES!!! Just enjoy the ride

Plus, since when does MTV shy away from controversy? Baah, nobody watches MTVs crappy award show anyways.
