Warthogs lead both Minor League Baseball and the majors in homers with 105 through 66 games.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 08:40 AM) Hmmmmm... Well, let it be known, I'm in the market for a single. If anyone has a ticket they are willing to part with (for a nominal fee) please contact me via PM as soon as humanly possible. If not, I may just look at the box office. Either way, I'd love to make it down. I'd say there are good odds you'd be abel to pick up a single ticket at face off of someone if you were there. Is the game sold out?

Agreed, the US will be good, but the Dominican and a few other countries will be sporting pretty good looking teams themselves. Japan will be a quality club as well considering they have quite a few good players in their league as well as in the majors.

This is great news. It will be nice to get Gloadie the Roadie back on the bench sometime in the next month or two. He's just a really good hitter and solid bench guy. Of course its gonna be a heck of jam up in terms of getting him Ab's, but when he's healthy he's one of the better "pure" hitters on this club.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 07:40 PM) looks like you pulled a Jason....... But no one does it quite like me. I always reply as I go through a thread and 90% of the time I'm answering someones question for like the 5th time Dar I'm gifted

Same with Lucy. I'd of liked to see more info from him aside from sheerly looking at stats.

I'm loving it. He's out there and is just pitching quick. I got a man crush for Cottsy

He also has something like 14 walks all season (don't know if that was entering todays game or after it). I know he walked 3 today (or I think he did). That to me is the #1 stat in terms of Jon's success. He's confident and is attacking hitters.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 08:03 PM) I won't be there, have to work unlike some people /cheap shot at steve Hey, those picks I gave you for the CWS pool should put you on the fasttrack to retirement.

What a comeback.....Cheat, you are the man

I just have to say...when I see the name MOJO...I think of the helper monkey in the Simpsons "PRAY FOR MOJO"

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 11:16 AM) There's 5 of them in the metroplex (Dallas/Fort Worth and surrounding cities). That place just kicks MAJOR ass. I never even go to Best Buy now, because Fry's kicks the s*** out of them as far as prices and stuff they have. The most dangerous thing I possess is a credit card from Fry's with too large of a limit... We have a few of em out here as well. Pretty darn badass, but they do get major crowded, especially when they have a real good sale item.

What a deuche bag Scioscia was. I wasn't at yesterdays game but my dad called me when it happened and god how classless can a manager be. Fact is his player cheated. Screw Donelly, that type of crap shouldn't be tolerated and to go on and berate Frank Robinson for being a good manager, well f Scioscia. Next game I'm at Mike is getting a nice long boo out of me. I went to Mondays game and made damn sure to cheer Jose Guillen every at bat. The guy busted his ass in Anaheim and got screwed. I'm 100% on that now, he showed up Mike and upset a few of the pitchers, but bottom line he played hard in Anaheim and he's doing more of the same in Washington.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 12:21 PM) They do world vs US but Gio was born here and lives here. He wouldn't be eligible for the world team. Well scratch that. Only other thing I could think is them holding out Bmac because he has a few MLB starts. They probably won't do it, but its a possibility. Personally I'd rather see Gio and Anderson simply because I've seen Bmac pitch a lot and haven't had the luxury of watching much of Gio (I'm selfish, haha).

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) jesus players dont run out a pop out all the time you think the barons manager over-reacted a little.... Maybe pull him out of the game but dont make such a damn big deal about it. Nah, this is exactly how it should be played. You teach them right as they climb through the ranks of the organization and you won't have to deal with those type of problems at the major league level.

Sounds cool enough to me.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 11:59 AM) Anderson and BMac. Guaranteed. I'd go with that. However, they could grab Gio for the world team or however it works (Isn't that how they do it sometimes?).

May In Review By Danman June 15, 2005 FutureSox.com With May over the minor league teams are making playoff pushes as the first half of play ends in late June. The Warthogs and Barons are both in the mix as they head down the stretch. It’s interesting to see who has followed up a strong start in April and who has fallen off. Also, some guys put up better numbers after adjusting to new levels in the beginning of the season. Without further ado, here are the guys that are streaking, freaking, and guys in line for promotions...MORE

Congrats Dbaho...you definately deserved it. You were and are one of the best posters on this site and did a heck of a job as a mod and I'm sure you'll do more of the same as an admin.

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 12:04 AM) This movie is awesome, Christian Bale is absolutely perfect for this role, although his batman voice is kinda odd at times. Bale is a budding superstar - just watch. The movie is f***ing amazing.... i was tired tonight after work, but my girlfriend pulled me outta bed to go see the midnight... please go see this movie, its bloody awesome. Oh and btw... Cillian Murphy - he plays scarecrow... is f***ing awesome in this too. Im gonna watch both these gents career's carefully from now on... they're gonna blow up. Go see the movie. I just got home from it and holy crap. All I can say is it blows all the other Batman movies away and is by far and away the best movie I've seen the past few years. Just awesome. I loved Star Wars, but this movie may of just topped it.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 03:49 PM) Guys, one thing to think about when formulating these questions, note that Wilder is the Director of Player Development and as such, he will likely have less info on these new draft choices than the guy who's in charge of the draft, Duane Shafer. Dave, as I understand it, will have more knowledge and input on the guys who are already in the system. But it was noted he scouted Lance Broadway, so maybe some of his responsibilities overlap, which is why a good question is for Dave to outline exactly what he does on a week to week or month to month basis. Jim good questions. I had a few of them on the same page as you (like the duties of the minor league development) and I plan on asking him how involved he is and am gonna make mention on how he saw Broadway pitch and what his thoughts are on him. I also have a question for Jenks and how he's working in terms off of the field and what type of timetable do the Sox have on him. Really looking forward to this and everyones putting out some good questions to get added to my already lengthy list

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) Alright I'm definitely in now, is it alright if I bring a friend? Ya, not a problem.

FutureSox.com will be interviewing Dave Wilder either later today or tomorrow afternoon. For those of you not familiar Dave Wilder is the director of player development for the Sox. So if anyone has any questions they would like to ask Dave, please post them on here and I'll do my best to ask him. Also special thanks goes out to JimH for setting up this whole thing.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 09:46 AM) Hopefully they have Vazquez refusing to play for the Sox in the back of their heads, and take it out on him. Vazquez would be a White Sox if we sent him the card in your avatar. We Cho CHo CHOOSE You I mean who wouldn't that convince?
