QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 20, 2005 -> 04:28 PM) Bruce Levine was the first to report the rumor and Offman reported McCarthy boarding a plane. EDIT: Perhaps I should just congratulate Jason as that seems to be the trend. He is not boarding the plane right now. He's supposed to fly into Chicago tomrrow.

Hey Cheat...I know one thing, your by far as good as it gets for stuff on the majors. Your the only person that can get me to understand the Bill James type stats.

Personally I hope Bmac can whoop some ass and than the Sox can move Contreras to the pen. My guess is El Duque is only gonna miss one or two starts, but I can't verify that.

Lol Cheat...the trib and radio should just hire us

From what I've gathered thus far its unclear on what exactly is going on with El Duque. I'm trying to figure out in that regards, but we don't really have many major league contacts.

Brandon McCarthy Promoted to Chicago By Jason Gage May 20, 2005 FutureSox.com The Chicago White Sox are expected to promote RHP Brandon McCarthy to Chicago over the weekend. The 21 year old right hander is going to make his major league debut on Sunday at Wrigley Field in place of Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez. FutureSox.com is checking with its sources to find out the reason for Hernandez being scratched...MORE

Gimme 5 minutes, I'm putting something up on FS right now but I got the scoop

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 20, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) You're s***ting me right. Ya, I'm just f***ing around being an ass since everyones going all haywire.

Bmac was possibly traded along with Joe Crede and Robert Valido for Eric Chavez or at least thats the talk out of Charlotte

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 20, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) That's the strange thing. It isn't anywhere, except Levineline heard the rumor, and McCarthy was supposedly scratched from his start, which I believe someone on here confirmed Munoz started tonight. Heads and I both shot some emails to some minor league people we know. No response yet but I'd say there is at least some possibility to the rumor. The only other reason Brandon would be scratched was due to injury and I hadn't heard anything about that.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 20, 2005 -> 03:25 PM) :puke Three words. Rookie--Midst--Pennant-Race ...yes, that's right...I've hyphenated pennant-race. This guy is one of the best rooks in baseball and has his head on straight. I have no doubt if he came up here that he'd be able to keep the Sox in the games. He's very mature and would be pitching on pretty much any other team. Calm down everyone. I think more seasoning would be best, but we all knew if there was an injury or something along those lines we'd see Brandon. Thats why I was so happy he was in AAA, cause we knew it was just a matter of time until Duque went down (if that really is the case).

I've sent out a couple emails. Now its just the waiting game. I think Bmac is starting on Sunday though.

If El DUque isn't ready I got no problem with this. I'm gonna ask around real quick.

I'd much rather see Baj promoted than Adkins. Adkins has been horrid in Charlotte.

Man, I really like the Academy Is.

If the PS3 is 500 bucks, no one will buy it. Sony won't be that stupid. If they price it over 299 I think they will have a hard time. I just think thats about the cap on consoles...any more and your pricing yourself out of a huge market. Hell if I were with Microsoft I'd be in heaven if Sony was stupid enough to price there console 200 bucks higher than the Xbox. Microsoft would kill Sony in sales and will have taken over the console market share.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ May 20, 2005 -> 01:25 PM) You shoulda watched WGN because Hawk and DJ were doing the announcing. It was a nice change. I think the Sox crew is doing both games on WGN. Its soemthing like they rotate and the Cubs crew gets like this entire week off. Last year I think Hawk/DJ got off one of the series if not both.

Right now Brandon still needs more time in Charlotte. However, come August or September I woudln't be opposed to it. I think by that time it could be a good thing to carry an extra pitcher (plus rosters expand in September) and you can get his feet wet and at the same time I think he'll be ready to contribute. Otherwise he shouldn't come up unless there is an injury.

Freddy was agressive today and was ahead of the count almost every at bat. It was a thing of beauty.

I loved the Paulie chants that went on in the AB where he had the RBI single. Hell I heard more Sox chants than Cub chants today. It pumped me up.

Tarantino is way overrated in my book. Same with Spike Lee.

Well, I guarantee one thing, I'll call him a lefty again at one point or another. For whatever reason I've always thought he was a lefty and I'm one of those people who has a hell of a time changing things once I get something in my mind. Kind of like mispronouncing a name. Cerb could tell stories of how much trouble I had pronouncing Schnurstein correctly But ya, Harrel could of went a lot earlier and just seems to be one of those guys that could turn into a gem in the middle rounds.

Ya, Alex, that was very very well written. And you know it kills me to tell you that Awesome job

Great Stuff
