I saw only one article on Get Smart but it ripped it almost as bad as Love Guru is getting ripped. Love Guru might possibly be the worse movie ever made (basing that solely off previews, which couldn't even get a chuckle out of me).

Alright Mahin...Titan power baby!!!

Out of curiosity I see no mention anywhere really that indicates Rose is a lock to the Bulls. I think the Bulls are going to give a good hard look at Beasley and I wouldn't be at all shocked if he ends up being the guy.

Bring out the brooms!!! WOOT WOOT!

Just following on gamethread, but this has been pretty impressive.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 12:04 PM) I might be in the minority, but if we could sign Crede, I would deal Fields in a heartbeat for a big named player. I don't hink the Sox need another all or nothing guy in the line up. Regardless of what happens with Crede, I'd move Fields for talent (minor league or major league). Fields won't live up to his hype (imo).

Complete makeover. I remember when Riggleman was the manager of the Cubbies.

Go Go Gadget Gavin!!!

BAM!

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 09:05 AM) Thats a really fair post, and agree with the Ram assessment, however part of me thinks Lexi is on a steak here, and will come back down to earth. If he doesn't, outstanding, Williams found a real gem, but not sure if thats realistic at this point. It's June 18th. More than a month to determine where we stand. By then, you will have a much better idea where we stand with Lexi, as well as if Durham is really having a bounce back season, and is still healthy. At some point two months of productions no longer becomes a streak but something a player is truly capable of (well, he may never be a consistent .340 hitter, but you don't hit like that on accident). He just has a lot of natural ability and baseball instincts. He seems to find holes on ocassion but I also think it fits in with the type of player he is and while he won't keep hitting .340 (or at least it is doubtful he will), I wouldn't be shocked if he just kept getting better and better from an all-around stand-point. As far as I'm concerned, Ramirez and Quentin are the two brightest stars in the Sox young everyday playing ranks. They are on a whole nother level than a guy like Josh Fields.

Durham could be a very good pickup, however, I want Ramirez playing on a daily basis at least right now. He's done nothing to show that he shouldn't be an everyday player and he's a very integral piece of this franchise (since there is zero depth in the middle infield in the organization, although Beckham can hopefully change that) who needs to be playing. However, you could make a case that Ray could get tons of ab's at 2B while Ramirez gets ab's at 2B as well plus CF while Konerko is on the DL. But this does essentially reduce Brian Anderson to bench play and right now I'm not a proponent about that (because I think now is a really good opportunity for the White Sox to see what Anderson is (a bench player who can provide tremendous defense, or a starting CFer).

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 08:57 AM) Gorzalanny walks a lot of guys. Hopefully, he doesn't have his control tonight and we can clobber him like we did with Snell. What I'm worried about is that he has a pretty good change-up and a nice slider. Those guys have given the Sox trouble forever. And oh yeah, he's a lefty. There's plenty to watchout for tonight. Welcome aboard!!!

I'm really confused. Shortstop is the least of our worries, at least for this year. OC has played very well, both offensively and defensively. He had a slow start and some adjustment cramps but aside from that whats not to like about his performance.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 06:56 AM) No way he made either of those plays on his own. Those are both called in the dugout, I would almost guarentee you. It took an above average play to get Johnson out. I thought he had gotten an infield hit but Longoria made a nice grab and Pena made an even better dig at first. That said, was it really a bunt? IFor some reason I thought it was a swinging bunt but I wasn't paying too close of attention to the highlights.

Thibodeau is an amazing defensive coach. He did a brilliant job in Boston as did the players. Congrats Celtics, Congrats!!!

Geeze, crazy he could win playing that injured. Definately adds to his growing legend. I was a huge Tiger hater but even I've came to appreciate and cheer for him. It will be interesting to see how he recovers and just how serious these injuries are. Also, in terms of a golf season, what exactly does that mean (is that like a full year or what, I honestly have on idea other than they've only played 2 of the majors).

Alright Marky, time to get win numero 4.

Nice win, nice win genteleman, but this thread must stay LOCKED!!!!! SHAZAM

Yep

Russel still needs to find a way to develop better secondary stuff (the slider he has can be good at times, but too often it flattens out a bit because of the arm angle he throws it from). Either way I love watching good arms throw (and he's got a good arm). Awesome job by the offense to bail out Javy. Nice win Sox!!!!

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 16, 2008 -> 09:56 PM) I haven't looked, but see if the Cards site has what he did tonight. Singleton was talking about how Ankiel should have hit the cut-off guy on those throws (he has a point too), but regardless those were some of the most ridiculous throws I've ever seen.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 17, 2008 -> 05:27 AM) They should have fired him at the end of last season.They could have avoided all of this and probably would have had alot better start to this season. Completely agree. I'm actually rooting for Jerry because I think he's a solid GM. He did a good job early on in Chicago but he just wasn't the right guy for a couple of those slugging clubs the Sox had in the early 2000's (not 2000 though). Best of luck Manuel, kick some ass (but don't ever beat my White Sox).

He's a Titan, you got to love him!!!

I wish i was able to watch these games. Arggh.
