Flubbs lose.... HAHAHAHA LaToya sucks balls. Who were those morons saying Latoya would be a good pickup?

QUOTE(quickman @ May 6, 2005 -> 11:00 AM) This is an interesting topic. Two things will play out during this month. We will find out if good pitching beats good hitting. We will also find out if the Sox will break out of their collective hitting slump. Both actually need to happen if we want to prove ourselves out. In my opinion we cannot continue to win like yesterday, we need to hit the damn ball. Not so much Toronto because they are only 3 over 500 but Baltimore is going to be a real test for us. We're gonna see, during that series, just how good our staff really is.

I went with AJ but nearly everyone mentioned has made a significant contribution to the cause. KW really did have himself a kickass offseason this time around.

THE LOGGERS AND DRILLERS WILL LEAVE THE EARTH A BARREN WASTELAND DEVOID OF ALL LIFE!!!!!!! THE AIR IS TURNING TO POISON!!!!!!! WE NEED TO START LIVING IN BUBBLES BECAUSE THE AIR IS POISON!!!!!! THE WATER IS POISON!!!!!! DONT DRINK IT OR YOU'LL DIE!!!!!!! THE EARTH IS HEATING UP SO FAST THAT WE'RE ALL GOING TO BURN AND FRY TO DEATH!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Lets see here. We've played Detroit, Minny, Cleveland, KC, Oakland and Seattle so far in the early going. Minny = winning record Sox record against = 4-1 Oakland = Losing record Sox record against = 1-2 Seattle = losing record Sox record against = 2-1 Cleveland = losing record Sox record against = 4-2 Detroit = losing record ( 12-15 ) Sox record against = 4-1 KC = losing record Sox record against = 6-0 Looks like the only team we made a losing team with our record against them is Detroit which I highlighted by adding in their record. Everyone else thats losing would still be losing even if they had, say, an even record against us.

QUOTE(mreye @ May 6, 2005 -> 07:25 AM) This guy is such a jag! But, wouldn't it stand to reason if the Sox are winning at a .750 clip that they have caused those teams to be losing teams? That and the fact that his Flubbs are LOSING to losing teams. This is comical. I dont know why people around here read this jag bag.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2004 @ May 5, 2005 -> 10:34 PM) I've never seen such a close game turn into a blow-out in a matter of minutes. It was 82-80 Rockets with like 10 minutes to go. Then all of a sudden the Rockets are up 20 with like 2 minutes to go. T-mac was indeed godly. Now lets see can he finally step up and get his team past round one. Motombo was huge inside with his blocked shots. I think they got a good chance to win this series.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 5, 2005 -> 11:54 PM) His next start should be against Tampa Bay. Does that qualify as a major league team? Kinda sorta. LOL

QUOTE(mmmmmbeeer @ May 5, 2005 -> 11:27 PM) Not unless they somehow pull 3 quality starters out of their ass. They really f***ed themselves over with that payroll of theirs. They're stuck with a bunch of overpaid bums now and nobody is gonna take any of these guys in a trade or anything like that without sticking the Spanks with a huge chunk of the salary.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ May 5, 2005 -> 09:21 PM) yeah, with exception of viacaino who will eventually start rolling Viz is not a starter and he got hung out to dry a couple of times so I dont worry about him very much.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 5, 2005 -> 10:40 PM) Just wait until the yankees when 15 out of 18 at some point this year. It is just bound to happen. Bulls***. They blow ass.

QUOTE(Be Good @ May 5, 2005 -> 07:24 PM) Dam and I thought NY was really bad. It's all about the taxes and Cali and NY are notorious for high taxation on darn near everything.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 5, 2005 -> 09:48 PM) AJ is the man... "Contreras quickens his pace in victory Early strikes help right-hander limit pitch count" 69 of Contreras' 102 pitches were for strikes. That's pretty damn impressive from Jose. I'm just impressed he made it into the 8th inning. Normally he barely makes it to the 6th.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 5, 2005 -> 09:30 PM) That's because ESPN caters to the Yankees, Red Sox, and Flubs. Isn't it funny how 2 out of 3 of those teams are sucking and they still get more coverage than the White Sox? :headshake Nothing funny about it and nothing surprising either. If they can't suck their cocks and heap praise on them then they can always take up half the broadcast feeling sorry for them.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 5, 2005 -> 09:39 PM) http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/recap;_ylc=X3o...0505104&prov=ap Keys to Contreras' success: 1.) Work quicker a la Buehrle. 2.) Challenge hitters by throwing strikes. Your stuff is good so trust it. 3.) Don't get flustered with men on base. He was certainly on his game. I know I was worried about him when he was walking 5-6 men a game but now it seems he's tidyed up his game quite a bit. It's really nice to have 5 starters hitting on all cylinders.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ May 5, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) When the Sox go on a losing streak the so-called Baseball Tonight "experts" will change their mind yet again! They will say we will fold, choke, sputter, and the Twins will catch us. I don't even watch the program, but to b**** at people who want to talk about it on a messageboard is just unnecessary. As far as I'm concerned, I don't want attention from the media. 95% of the media flip-flops when it comes to giving praise to the White Sox. ESPN, Baseball Tonight, Mariotti, (obviously), and other publications and reporters do it all the time. My bottom line is reports from the media, and attendance don't mean a damn thing. Agreed on all points.................this teams motto should be.........."JUST WIN BABY!"

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ May 5, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) this might be a tuffy, toronto hits well, and if duque allows runners to them it could get ugly, plus from what i recall we never end up doing well in the skydome, but anyways If we can win in the twinkie dome we can win in Sky Dome.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ May 5, 2005 -> 02:59 PM) Blame it on Canada.... My first game thread this year.....PIN IT MODS Should be your first winner of the year too. GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 5, 2005 -> 03:23 PM) I still love Carlos..... And GREAT to see the sheep go up north 3 days in a row, and 3 days in a row come home drunk and beaten. LOL!!!! Plenty of Old Style flowing to drown the sorrows of the flubby loser fans everywhere.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 5, 2005 -> 08:19 AM) We always play the Yankees pretty well, we just seem to get 'up' for them. By the way, there is a quote in the paper today in which Ozzie was asked how the Sox pitching compares to the Yankees. His reply was something like, that's not a fair comparison, they're a last place team. Ozzie has a special drive when it comes to playing teams that get more pub, like the Yankees, Red Sox and Cubs. He tries to downplay it, but you can tell the fire is there. He's gonna be geeked to get at em. Yankees are a last place team and cant compare with us? HAHAHAHA THAT'S f***ING AWESOME!!!!!! I just love it when we can really stick it to those arrogant f***ers.

They give up the tying and lead runs without the benefit of a base hit. This team is every bit as s***ty as I say they are. GIMMIE A HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 RUNS SCORED WITHOUT A SINGLE HIT. BASES STILL JACKED. Like I said before...........KANSAS s***TY.

Contreras is pitching his ass off. We need to get him a win today.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ May 4, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) Is there something wrong with just writing down Kansas City? Yeah. They are a s***ty ball club hence the name.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 4, 2005 -> 09:39 PM) The sheep (what a perfect name for Cubs fans, isn't it?) go up to Milwaukee for 2 straight nights, get drunk, and see their team lose to a mediocre Brew Crew. Ahh, beautiful isn't it White Sox fans? Gotta love it. Flubbs fans are so pathetic. They seriously need to get a life.
