Ozuna?
Bottom line he'd be a better everyday player than Pods at this point.

Brandon McCarthy is not a phenom
QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 12:30 PM) Bmac will be at least a number 2 starter for this team. There, I said it. I got faith in Buehrle so he'd be the #3.

GAME THREAD: White @ Red
QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 11:05 AM) Is it bad the only reason I want to watch is because Sweeney might play.... Ya, I'm watching if I'm home cause I want to see Sweeney play.

Ryan Howard
QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 06:05 AM) Since the ASB, Howard has splits of .360/.496/.806. That's an OPS of 1.302. If Philly end up getting the wild card spot, there's no doubt Howard should be the NL MVP. It also raises the question, if you were building a team, would you take Howard over Albert Pujols right now? Possibly, but Pujols is still the safer pick. That said Howard is absolutely amazing and if he has another year like this (which I think he's capable of, although this could be his best year of his career, afterall, it would be the best year of almost any active player in baseball's career) I would take him over Albert.

Best MLB TV package for out of towners
The TV package is best cause you can watch it on your tv's and to me thats a lot easier than watching on a computer.

Croc Hunter Steve Irwin Dies
Damn, you knew it would happen but I kind of expected it to be with him doing something a little dumber than just swimming with sting rays (among other fish).

Sox Lose Series to KC 9/3/06
QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 02:08 PM) It's amazing how consistently bad him and Contreras are right now. Count is on a level all by himself. Freddy's been bad, but Jose has been awful as of late.

Tucson Electric Park to get makeover
Wow, its already one of my favorite spring training facilities (aside from the drive since I stay in the Mesa area during ST). I'm hoping I'll be able to see it again this year, the only question is how bad busy season will be.

Pitching Matchups for Boston series
QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 10:16 AM) • Monday: White Sox (RHP Jon Garland, 16-4, 4.47) at Red Sox (RHP Julian Tavarez, 2-4, 4.90), 6:05 p.m. CT • Tuesday: White Sox (RHP Javier Vazquez, 11-8, 4.98) at Red Sox (LHP Kason Gabbard, 0-3, 6.35), 6:05 p.m. CT • Wednesday: White Sox (RHP Jose Contreras, 11-7, 4.23) at Red Sox (RHP Kyle Snyder, 4-3, 5.94), 6:05 p.m. CT Wow. Great pitching for Boston. And just watch us get swept. Boston is in some bad shape, but the Sox just split 6 games between the Royals and Drays. We aren't exactly a world beater nor do I consider us a very good team. QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 10:21 AM) He used to pitch for Kansas City, but no I don't recall him ever being in our system. I think he's thinking of Jon Snyder who we dealt to the Brewers along with Navvaro in the Jose Valentin deal.

9/2 Games
Nah, usually really late in the minor league season you get guys really thrown around playing in leagues they shoudln't be. The reason for this is teams usually transfer guys around to make sure the playoff teams have the weapons they need to do good (because while it may not matter to a White Sox fan whether our minor league teams win or lose, it does matter to Warthog fans or Knight fans and those affiliates care if we take away all there players and don't somehow try to help them out in some way shape or form when we can).

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 02:05 PM) Anyone ever had a Wattaburger? YUM! Are there any in Cali.? Not that I know of. I've seen commercials for them but I'm 99% sure those were commercials that I saw via the MLB package (so it was an out of area broadcast). I'll say this, there are some good places to eat in Palm Desert but i'm not sure about if there are any unique fast food places there. I know there's a Farmer Boy there and supposedly they are supposed to have very good fast food hamburgers.

Recruiting Thread
Iowa is making some noise on the basketball end. Jake Kelly is in Iowa City this weekend and he still plans on making a visit or two but those close to him said it woudl be a shocker if he didn't come to Iowa to join his AAU teammate and anotehr Iowa commit Dairese Gary. If Kelly does committ to Iowa, he would join Gary and Jarryd Cole on what looks to be a solid 07 class. Sources close to Iowa say that if Alford gets Kelly he will turn his attention to Jon Leuer who will be visiting Iowa City the weekend of the OSU football game. Leuer is rated 72nd overall by Rivals in terms of the 07 class. The best part is our 08 class is looking outstanding as we already have verbals from Beas Hamga (34th best player by Rivals) and Matt Gatens (89th best player by Rivals). They are both in Iowa City this weekend along with Emmanuel Negedu (25th best player) who is supposed to be a very athletic wing man and right now Iowa tops his list and some say some sort of commit isn't out of the question this weekend. D'Andre Wiggins is also going to there as well (84th best player) but Iowa doesn't appear to be the favorite for him. The final recruit of 08 that they are making a push for is Lewis Jackson, a 5-9 PG who is ranked 94th. His visit is an unofficial one and he's expected back for the Ohio STate football game (Iowa tops his list). All in all Alford has really put together some really fine looking recruiting classes. Our upcoming class for this season was really looking like a top notch bunch but Alford ran into some trouble as a few players ended up being ineligible but its still a very solid class. Just wanted to point this out cause I rarely see any Iowa updates in here

Official College Football Thread
QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) Was Schlicher a senior last year? Who the hell is kicking for Iowa? I hope Tate stays cool for another couple of games. I also hope we figure out how to friggin cover a tight end, casue Iowa has 3 good ones. s***, I need to worry about UNLV. How'd Christensen look? I'm intrigued by him. Schlicher is back for his senior season (missed today's game with a tweaked quad, it was precautionary and had we been playing a tougher program he probably would have played). Signore was the kicker today and from what I have heard he has a very strong leg and was really clobbering the ball on kickoffs. Unfortunately I didn't have the game, but Christensen is our future and will obviously have a lot of pressure on him next year. He was a top 100 recruit in 05 and Rivals had him as a 4 star. It appears Christensen will get some snaps this year as they try to get him ready for 07. He redshirted last year. Also our star DE and starting WR had been suspended for today's game (Iwebema and Grigsby)

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 11:19 AM) Iowa finally seems to be pulling away. Which is nice to see. Tate hasn't exactly been super sharp or it doesn't appear that he has been at least (looking at the stats). Texas is beating up on Northern Texas.

Why the hell does Hamtpon/Grambling get televised. I wonder this type of crap every time I see those type of games on TV, especially ESPN 2. Michigan has been a few drops from having a big lead, instead they are up 6.
