missed last week's, what's the site again or is there a torrent I can download? But I got to see it.

I want to take the best position play available, regardless of position.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 8, 2007 -> 01:13 PM) The fact that a recruit named a final THIRTEEN makes me feel even sicker about the recruiting process than I normally do. Also, the new Rivals 150 is out for the class of 2008. Fresh new SIU verbal Kevin Dillard comes in at #148. #4, #22, #45, #112, and #114 are Ohio State verbals, Michigan State, Indiana, and Wisconsin have two #100's each. Of Illinois interest, DeAndre Liggins is a 5 star at #18, Darius Miller at #29, Iman Shumpert at #41, Michael Dunigan at #59, John Brandenburg at #63, Scott Suggs at #72, Josh Crittle at #95, Verdell Jones at #102 (although he's going to KU it appears), Paul Williams at #127, and Lewis Jackson at #139. I HOPE with as many guys with Illinois on their list as their is, this will be a really good class. I think it will be. Liggins, Shumpert, Suggs, and Brandenburg are my 4 favorites personally. If we just took all guards and/or wings in 2008 I'd be happy though, we have plenty of bigs. Also Trey Thompkins who Weber is recruiting hard (he is 13th I think) and Terrence Jennings who is #9, has a top 3 with Illinois, Cal and Arizona. So lots of Illinois guys up there, I think this is the banner class the BW has wanted. Plus, '09 is stacked and the top two '09 players are from the Champaign area and '10 already has Richmond who is a top 5 player nationally. Things finally starting to look up for a true good guy in college basketball.

Where did Winston Salem's hitting go?

Its not good, but it is not like Casell was that close to the show. Was good trade bait, s hopefully he is ok.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 6, 2007 -> 04:40 PM) Charlotte loses 4-3 http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...94&sid=t494 Anderson 2-5, HR You could argue that it is from the competition, but look what happens when you get consistent at-bats. The way our hitters are going, he should still be in the majors starting in left or center with Erstad the other positon.

I will not be happy unless its a win. Most likely we will give back the lead next inning.

Jason Capel, former Bear draft pick from Florida, I think, was a track star and Olympic qualifier who played football and he wasn't able to do the football thing. I dunno how he stopped playing football: own will or suckage, but he didn't last long. Gatlin may have track speed straight away, but cutting and keeping momentum and dodging NFL players while doing so is a completely different ballgame.

bout f'in time, now please lets start a winning streak.

QUOTE(Brian @ May 4, 2007 -> 07:15 PM) How many solo homers tonight? I'll say one, from AJ.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 3, 2007 -> 05:16 PM) I wonder if there's any chance he could be ready for the show next season instead of 09. he may be, but I would not rush him. We get screwed everytime with rushing players let him keep going at thsi pace and be ready for the show in '09.

http://fantasy.sportingnews.com/baseball/e...e/20070430.html That quote got me giddy, especially with how s***ty our major leaguers are playin, its real nice to see Gio get more lovin.

At 6'5" your just tall, but on the same token there are people who are short, too. I just think, hey that guys pretty tall and think nothing more about. But at school when I see 6'5" guys who are big (athletically big) I think I bet he is an O-lineman.

5'9" and 19. I am little guy, I guess. Soxtalk either has lots of liars or a pretty good starting 5 for bball and some good height off the bench.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 11:09 PM) You know who's fault it is. I'm just classy enough not to mention Jason's name. LOL

Gio: When you were traded from the White Sox, did Kenny ever give you an indication you would be back with the club? Everybody knows about your curve, but what can you tell us about your fastball in terms of velocity and movement? Jack: What is your outpitch? What has been the reason for tremendous success in the minors without prototypical "great" stuff?

Man, we are so horrible right now at the plate. can't move runners over, not hitting line drives, no walking, its getting down right sad.

It looks like we won the fight, though.

That's precisely why Alex Cintron cannot be your DH.

Man, the Sox is stylin. Love all these players reppin the Sox.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 28, 2007 -> 03:24 AM) I doubted Gio but he's won me over. The one thing I worry about with Gio is kind of like Danks. Gio has an amazing curveball and a fastball that is suppose to creep up to 94 MPH. I have seen stuff this year saying he has pitched around there, but for some reason when pitchers come up to the majors they lose 3-4 MPH on their fastball ala Danks, Arnie Munoz did and even Danny Wright to some extent where he was supposed to be high 90's and all I saw was mid 90's. But you gotta love Gio numbers, they are just plain sick.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Apr 27, 2007 -> 09:29 AM) I think having Jordan will be good for the PR of Illinois. And add to the fact that MJ will be walking around the campus to watch his son, other players (i.e. recruits down the road) will want to play with Jeff for the sole purpose of possibly meeting MJ. This obviously wouldn't be the only reason a recruit would chose Illinois, but it sure helps.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 26, 2007 -> 11:46 AM) Yeah it does. There's just not much value in 1Bman with no power. But he's got gap power

f***ing Dammit, Iguchi. You get two money pitches and foul em back and then a s***ty ass ball and you bite.

Bad swing by Anderson, but can you blame him when he starts once every blue moon.
