QUOTE(Texsox @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 07:23 PM) what's the chances of Monday, I'm math impared 75%...I like hedging my bets

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) It was a great game! We ended up standing over near the fan deck for 3 innings before moving to the 2nd row in the outfield near the Dodgers pen. Thanks again for getting us into the 100 level and it was very nice meeting the father of soxtalk. Father sounds too old...I prefer grand master Wait, on second though...if I'm the father, than I should check the mail...I expect gifts from you all

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 07:15 PM) He already did the hardest part, founding someone that would breed with him I kid, cause I care™ Better yet...somone thats not his cousin or sister

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 07:20 PM) Is B-Mac pitching on Monday or Tuesday? I heard Tuesday originally and thats still the main indication, however there has also been some talk of him going on Monday. If I were to go out on a limb I'd say its a 75% that he'll start on Tuesday.

QUOTE(winodj @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 07:17 PM) They were never the main team on WGN. Both teams got equal play on WGN. My bad, didn't word it right, but it was evenly based and than when the Sox moved to UHF, the Cubs upped there numbers (Basically replacing the # of Sox games) and then WGN became the superstation (nationally) and the rest is history. Regardless, the past is the past, and this is now....Sox got the best record in baseball, a good complete team, and if they play good baseball, they'll do alright. Just take it one day at a time

QUOTE(GASHWOUND @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 07:15 PM) I just remembered Texas bashed our brains in...I like him facing the Royas better Texas was also the one team that clobberknocked him in spring training (Bmac wasn't feeling good in the game either, had some issue with his finger and was sick). All I'm going to say is this, he's gonna get his first major league win against KC, whether its Monday or Tuesday.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 07:14 PM) Damn Jason, you must have been busy today; flying back to Cali, catching the Angels game, and writing the article. Thanks for the info on the situation. You know it...On an unrelated sidenote, it was nice meeting you and hopefully you guys had a good time at the game. I know that may of been the best Sox game I've ever seen in person (in 2000 I saw them come back and beat the Halos and Percy in Anaheim which was the former #1). We were flipping out.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 07:08 PM) Venezuela = Santana, Zambrano, Freddy Garcia. They also get magglio. But I can't really think of any other stars from there. Panama= Carlos Lee. But that pitching staff could dominate. The lineup wasn't anything special. I think Mario Valenzuela was projected on it (former Sox farm hand). You know me, I can't make a post where I don't botch at least one thing

QUOTE(drowninginflame @ Jun 18, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) Me, I am basing the vacation time I have left on the world series, if the white sox make it I am traveling to whatever city it would be held. Hopefully the American League will win the All Star game and I won't have to travel anywhere. I've waited my whole life for this, I ain't gonna miss it. * Hypothetically speaking * Anyone else wanna join me? My hope is one round they play the Angels. I'll stay in town for that. Than the next round or the round they weren't in Anaheim I'd go see them (either in Chicago or in a city close to me). I have a few frequent flyer free flights saved up for this instance. When it came to the series, I hope they are playing SD or LA or even Arizona as I could make the drive and see some of the games there. Although I would make sure to see one World Series game at the cell and would ask everyone I freaking new with any potential connections to get me tickets. Oh my god, it would be amazing. I already got a world series fund saved up, plus the few free travel tickets (just waiting )

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 06:05 PM) Argh... No, ESPN was misleading you.. The Sox used to be on WGN all the time back in the day, but they decided to move their games to a new channel. Which ended up not being a wise move. This is what they we're talking about. You can still watch them on WGN. They obviously read the article in the suntimes today. I disected the entire suntimes while on the almost 4 hr plane flight home

QUOTE(winodj @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 04:57 PM) They've also said that the Sox arent on WGN TV anymore. They were referring to how the Sox were the main team on WGN way back when an Veeck (or whoever it was) ended up pulling them and putting them on some other station (UHF or something) and than of course Jerry bought the team and put them on cablevision (I think thats what it was called, which was a precursor to pay-per-view) and thas is when Harray left.

Thankfully I have no kids. But Happy Fathers Day to you all Also Dad, my gift to you for Fathers Day, was that whooping the Sox just handed the Dodgers...YES!!!!!

QUOTE(GASHWOUND @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 07:04 PM) Then why don't you go and marry them... Cause they don't allow gay marriages in Texas

I forget which team, but I think its the Panama one, has Santana, Escobar, and Zambrono. Thats a whicked filthy pitching staff.

I had to do it. I just ran into the kitchen holding a broom, waving it in front of my dad (Diehard Dodger fan). I know he'd of done the same to me. Hopefully we can meet again this year (ie World Series)

Bmac will get his first win when he pitches Monday or Tuesday...book it.

Welcome to Soxtalk and great story

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 12:10 PM) would you trade pods for ichiro straight up? Are you crazy...hell ya.

To go on with a little something. There are some reasons for why he's struggled down in Charlotte and to say the least Brandon has some things going for him this time around. I think we'll see the Bmac of spring training on Tuesday. Ken Williams was also quoted this afternoon as saying Brandon would stay up here for the long haul (potentially) if he pitchdes well I love hearing that. He made no mention as to whether it would be in the rotation or pen. All I know is if Bmac pitches well, he's going to be making the next few starts and than some.

Guys it was a done move earlier. No speculation, it was just fortified to 100% when he missed that start. I have heard this may be a little longer stint than the last one as well as the Sox want to make sure next time Duque is back his arm is 100%. I don't know what the status of his arm is and if they needed him to pitch they would let him, but I think they saw his past couple starts, mixed with tightness and figure its better to shut him down now for a few weeks than do anything else. Once again FutureSox.com breaks a story (got to toot my own horn a bit, lol).

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 02:35 PM) I'm not really sure how it works when calling up a guy multiple times. Does he lose options when this happens? And are we just going to put Duque on the DL once a month? I have no problem with this, just looks like that might be happening. Once a guy is sent down his option is used up and he can go up and down as many times that entire year. I think each player gets 3 options (not 100% on that), which means you could essentially have 3 years of going up and down.

Oh tony to answer your other question...Bmac was scheduled to start tonight. I guess we'll know more if/when he doesn't make his scheduled start for the Knights.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 10:56 AM) So the Duke goes to the DL to make room for this move, correct? Thats how it appears. But nothing is official and I don't know much from the Sox side of things as of this point.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 10:54 AM) Guys i heard on the radio that El Duque is supposed to start monday. They said he would be ready to go. As of now Bmac is the guy, but things could very well change.
