Rowands display out in CF against the Yanks in one inning was more impressive than any of those 3 plays, imo. Guchi's play was great, but total luck. Uribe's best play was actually the one to win the game (that was absolutely insane, no other SS throws him out) although I'd admit Uribe into the stands was ridiculously awesome two. Those two plays should be combined like Rowand's two plays and are by far the two greatest plays I've seen in White Sox history.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 09:57 PM) I know there have been talks about Aybar's attitude, but I really do like the kid as a potential player. Aybar is a couple years younger than Betemit, has very similar minor league numbers IMO (High 700's OPS), has higher batting averages in recent years, and much lower strikeout totals. Braves management has been raving that they can't believe the Dodgers made that trade. They said Aybar is better, quicker, younger, etc and they even got Baez in the deal as well.

I love this show. Pretty much always has me laughing.

QUOTE(Misplaced_Sox @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 10:44 PM) What makes you think he can be a two or three guy? Just curious. He really does not have anything amazing in his arsenal. A plus curve but if its missing, majors can hit his fastball for sure. Ummm, one of the best curve balls in the minors (arguably the best in the southern league) mixed in with a major league caliber changeup (still developing) and a darn solid FB (I don't get where you guys say he doesn't have one, he easily throws a major league average fastball, velocity wise). I seriously laugh at everyone that thinks he throws everything but the kitchen sink at guys.

I'm a huge fan of Ethier. Guy has an explosive bat and while he isn't the greatest in the field right now, I've seen him make a few great plays and he has the ability to turn into a pretty good outfielder. Considering Bradley's been hurt, its looking like Coletti ripped Beane off.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 01:10 PM) I'm sure we can believe anything we see on Myspace. On second thought, Myspace is about as reputable as the NY Post.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 02:59 PM) Wait, I am confused. A prospect's birthday is very, very important? Sometimes, I just don't get sarcasm, apparently. Ie, his age.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) They can't without having him pass through waivers, which he likely wouldn't do. They were going to place him on the DL and than have him up in September.

Found paperboy, man forgot what a classic that game is.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 09:36 AM) I had the best emulator in the world for SNES... i think it was from emulationstation.com or something like that... it was perfect. i have a super nintendo i hook up from time to time... and pilotwings is always perfect, but ill be damned if that helicopter level isnt hard! I downloaded Znes and than found the pilotwings rom. I am having a hell of a time parachuting. I got my stage 1 and did perfect on the first two parts (plane and rocket) but than did horrid on the parachute and failed. I had a problem figuring out how to break, but finally realized z and x are the a and b buttons.

Whats a good emulator to download so that I can play old school snes games and stuff (I want to play me some pilotwings).

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:05 AM) Tim Day. Who cares? He's gonna get released.

The guy's wearing a bullet proof vest with about 4 guns and an assault rifle in the car and tries to resist arrest. I'm sorry, this prick needs to be locked up for a long time. He's not a football player, he's a thug and needs to rot in a cell.

Kick some butt Boz

The bad news is this deal meant Baj (who got hit pretty hard in his Dback debut) was sent back down to AAA.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:32 AM) He'll be just fine. I'm more shocked when I hear that baseball players are faithful than I am when a story like this comes out. She's a hot 19 year old....his street cred just went sky high. On the bright side for Paul, its not like she's a stalker or really trashed him. Considering how things could have went when she was interviewed, it could have been far worse.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 09:10 PM) Don't act like you are the only two to Gage the site. Are you kidding, I still remember the time I made the mistake of letting you upgrade the board

I've long said that both Paulie and Dye are more consistent and more valuable to this offense (at the plate) than Jim Thome. However, Jim Thome has one intangible and thats that he has made everyone on this offense better (Crede, AJ, Dye, even Paulie) and for that you got to give Thome some credit. Just his presence has taken so much pressure off the rest of the guys that they were able to relax and not always look for the homer and try to just do there job.

I don't quite get this considering he was an out away (for a while) of going 7 innings with 3 runs (which is a darn good start). I realize it didn't turn into that, but his last two starts have been much much better. While I don't like blaming things on the ump, Buehrle definately wasn't helped with Cooper's zone two nights ago (that said he still needs to make his pitches and execute and at times he obviously wasn't doing that). If we need to talk about replacing anyone, its Freddy. He's the only starter on this staff that doesn't have the ability to turn things back around. His velocity is way down and I'm convinced with his lack of command that he will not ever be super sucessful without his old velocity. Vaz has his stuff Buehrle never needed plus stuff, needs plus command and he's made progress his past two outings Garland is Garland Count needs to get back on track, but who knows with his back all banged up.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 07:18 PM) You don't do a hit-and-run with 2 outs. That's 3 outs on the bases tonight. No biggie...you got to be agressive. Brian can run and Myers has a long arm. BA just got a bad jump or something.

Lets send Brian. I'd think you could get a good jump on this guy, he may be a lefty but he is slow to the plate.

QUOTE(Jake @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 06:28 PM) Out of curiosity, how is the creator member number 127? Is member number 1 still around? #127 to #1 are in reverse order from when I switched the boards database from xml to invision years ago. It actually was the great Scalising of the site, which came before the great gaging of 04

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 05:16 PM) Don't the fans deserve some answers? There's so many f***ing questions this year, so many oddities and we're not getting any explanation for any of them. All I want is for Ozzie to come out and answer 2 questions honestly. 1.) Why is Freddy Garcia sitting at 86 MPH this year after previously sitting at around 91 MPH? 2.) Why does Rob Mackowiak EVER play CF? Why isn't there a real backup to Anderson on the roster? Do the Sox no longer care about defense? Anyone want to email this to Hawk?
