QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) Good grief.. why does every game lately have to be a friggin nail bitter.. TO me its been that way all season for the most part...drives me flipping nuts, luckily we've won way more than lost

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 01:10 PM) Oh no. Paulie being pinch run for. Does that mean that Timo wil be at 1b in the 9th or will Blum? Can't be Timo, once your a DH spot you have to stick to it otherwise the pitcher would have to hit...IIRC.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) D.J.'s homerun calls definitely need some work. On a side note, I love Iguchi. Did he say, UH OH. If so I'm so gonna have to go look at the highlights on MLB.tv when I get home from work.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) Who else besides me has more faith in Vizcaino than Marte? I guess Vizcaino is one of those pitchers that you need to give a lot of work to in order for him to pitch well. I have way more as of late. Neither can throw strikes though.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) Supposedly Gload still can't play the OF, I don't think they would short themselves that much in the OF. I am guessing it will be Borchard. Its funny with the guys who wanted Carl out of the line up... Becareful what you wish for, as you just might get it. Since going back down he's played a bit of RF.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 12:06 PM) The 40 man roster is full, and Anderson is not on it. I was thinking it was open. My guess is Frank will go to the 60 day DL (which takes him off the 40). So they'll have some flexibility if they want it.

Want to point out for those involved in the writing (Cheat, Dbaho, Dan, Randar, Cerb, Aboz, Heads, Cheat, and Myself) that Dan sent the email last night with all the information so if you didn't get it for some reason just shoot Dan or I a PM and we'll forward you the info.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 09:31 AM) Big bling-bling baller over here.... This site makes me rich.

Best of luck...hopefully you get the nod.

Ring....Ring.....Ring

Only time I will is for the ocassional bill. I'm pretty much all online, cash, or via CC (which I pay off at the end of each month).

Yep, just after I started driving my parents got me one (just in case). Now I have to pay the damn bill (BOO).

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 08:04 AM) Buckhead's not so bad. Some of the 'burbs are pretty nice. Been to Atlanta enough to know that I'd not want to live there... but someday I may not have a choice... Bigwig I hear Buckhead has gotten a lot worse the past couple years.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 05:10 AM) Oh yeah, I heard enough stories from one person in America when I was over there, not to go there. Was that me? I do think Detroit is worse than any major city I've ever been to.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 08:34 AM) Well there's the other acquisition i wanted on the blue line. I wanted another veteran presence, and we got Spacek back. He's a pretty good puck handler, and he's decent in both zones. The defense is done now. The offense, however, isn't. LaPointe makes me go "meh". He was real nasty with Detroit a few years ago, bolted to Boston for a s***load of cash, then proceeded to absolutely suck. He's a "grinder", so he'll be playing on the third line with brown and barnaby i would think. Bell should play on the second line over brown, i think. We still need a top forward though, and i'd love palffy or kariya. I'm not a huge selanne fan because he's so damn soft, but he'd at least put the puck in the net on the top lines. Still need something up there badly. Can't really fault Tallon though, he's thrown the money out there. But the hawks have screwed themselves a little bit as an organization, obviously. I also don't like how long this Khabibulin decision is taking. I'm thinking Khabi is going to make sure the Hawks get another player or two before making his decision. Could be wrong though.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 08:38 AM) Hmph, I figured the problem with his change might have been that AJ wasn't calling for it. Anywho...if he can put together a decent slider out there to go along with a 2 seamer, 4 seamer, that nasty curve ball, and a murderous changeup...and he's throwing to a catcher who knows how to mix things up, no one will be able to touch him when he gets to the big leagues. Well your right to an extent on the catcher thing as well, because for a rookie pitcher, the catcher is calling the entire game. It will be interesting in regards to the slider. Don't know how often he'll use it. Right now from what I gather is that he plans on harnessing the 2 seamer. However, it could be a pitch that he works on over the off-season or even during spring training (which is usually a good time to start implementing a new pitch). I'm really excited for Brandon's future, he's going to be a front of the rotation guy for a long time (hopefully on the Southside).

Man, I so hope we get enough people in for this. As far as 12 or 16, doesn't matter to me.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 07:25 PM) Next time they bring BMac up, they should put him in the bullpen in long relief. Get his feet wet in the majors without the pressure of starting. He'll be starting. From everything I've heard, the Sox will likely go to a 6 man rotation (assuming everyone is healthy) in September. Basically it will be a way to help get the starters fresh (this is assuming they have things locked up).

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 11:42 PM) As I said before, great article. Now I understand why he wouldn't throw his change. Did you get the stats fixed yet? Yep, everything is set now Updated his stats to include the 5th start (including ERA) and than updated his season long stats as well.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 07:00 AM) I hope not. JR is passed his prime, and while it would be a big name and make casual fans happy, just not the right move for this team. If Dale can pull off getting the Bulin Wall and Palffy to Chicago, he should pack up shop, and be done with it. I would be very, very happy. I'd be happy with that. I want Bulin bad...a great goalie can change the landscape, imo.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 06:47 AM) Exactly my line of thinking, this is gotta be setting up of something bigger. A guy like Kyle Calder could be included in a big deal for a #1 center for example. Just trying to think of who that guy would be (Thornton's probably not going to happen, considering I doubt he'll re-sign long term with us). I'd go crazy if they landed Thorton.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 06:30 AM) Its kind of unfortunate that it seems the Hawks will have to overpay to draw any players to town... mostly due to Wirtz. I would rather have Selanne or Kariya or Palffy and hopefully the Hawks will land one of them but it will probably be for a lot more than Lapointe just got to even get them to consider it...IMO If they could of tried for Kariya and Teamu they may of just landed them. They have been good friends and always like playing for each other. Still I'd love to see a guy like Kariya here. I've long thought he was a little over-rated, but like Murcie said, the rule changes should really help him out and if there is one player I'm at least pretty familiar with it would be Paul (from his days with the Ducks). Very very talented player whose a great scorer. Would be a nice addition, I'd just really like to see the Hawks find a good center for the 1st line.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 06:13 AM) My French isn't so good, but it looks like that saids he signed with the Hawks, right? Yep. So guys, what can you tell me about LaPointe? Is this a good move?

Nice outing
