QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) Willie sucks. He's not even a defensive replacement at this point. He has blown 2 plays in less than a week. :headshake

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 09:09 PM) I love all the Willie defenders. Where were they when he almost blew the game against the Royals a few days ago while playing his natural position of 2nd base. :headshake

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) Ozzie made a terrible mistake sending Buerhle out in the 7th. But this game is a bunch of different players making mistakes. And if this game affects Ozzie, than he is not a manager. Some days things just dont go your way, you dont think that one of our wins we got some bounces? We played as bad as we could, and we are only down 2 runs. You can not win every game. SB

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) Jason, people don't want to hear that. They want a scapegoat. Oh, we lost 9-7? It was Harris' fault, if he doesn't make the error, we win. People don't look at the fact that Timo and Ozuna are a combined 10-for-48 on the season. It's pathetic. I'm sorry, but it is. It was the teams fault. They stranded runners, Buerhle didn't pitch well, Ozzie may of made a mistake, Dye and Willie and Uribe made errors. Sure people may chalk it up to one player, but its a team effort, its a team game and the team lost. s*** happens in a 162 game season, the key is to learn from those mistakes and don't let them happen again.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 09:05 PM) WHAT??? WILLIE MADE AN ERROR AGAINST THE ROYALS JUST A COUPLE DAYS AGO THAT ALMOST BLEW THE GAME FOR US. HE WAS PLAYING HIS NATURAL POSITION OF 2ND BASE AS WELL. ANY MORE EXCUSES NOW? WILLIE SUCKS. I'm sick of your whining and complaining every time a player makes a mistake. First it was Crede, yet whenever Ozuna does anything your right there kissing his ass. Get your blinders off, just cause you hate Willie and Crede and whoever else doesn't mean they suck. Two errors aren't going to change my mind. I've seen enough of Willie play and I think most everyone here would be willing to admit that he's a better defensive 2nd baseman than Guchi. He has far more range and is a fundementally sound defensive player (no knock on Guchi...Harris is just a very good defensive 2nd baseman). And Willie is a better play than Pablo..hate to break it to you.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) Willie sucks you tool. He just made an error at 2nd base against the Royals to almost blow a game. He can't play 2B or SS. Keep trying to defend the loser. It's pitiful. He's the best defensive 2nd baseman on the team so shove it. I'm sick of this s***, a guy makes a bad play and he sucks. Its a 162 game season, errors happen, mistakes happen. Willie's batting over .300 and playing good. He doesn't complain at all and gives his all when he's on the field.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 08:57 PM) Thank you Willie for showing us how worthless you truly are. You suck so bad it hurts. Ground ball and retard pulls an ole. Now lets go into the wayback machine, yes to Sunday where he booted another one. Thank you crotch rot Willie. This is why we lose in Cali. Retarded crappy defense. Dropping balls, kicking balls, balks. Crap on a stick. Shove it...Willie is playing a new position and made an error. He has played hard every game his entire career with the Sox. Knock his production all you want but you act as if he's sucking. Last I looked he's actually playing well. And as far as Dye goes, look he dropped the ball...but he had good fundementals (had his hand out to shield it and he just misread it). s*** happens. This is just an ugly game and will likely be an ugly loss. The defense has gone to hell the past couple days (that 4 error game or wahtever it was in KC and now this..ugh). Its the type of game the team needs to keep them honest. They play like royal s*** and this can be a wakeup call. They gotta step it up and keep improving. I mean it was bound to happen so why not lose a game where you just totally blow it with your own fundementals (that way the issue can be forced yet again and they can get their s*** back together).

Damn I swore that was a wild pitch. I have the online version on so I can't tell that well. But Keith your right, he has a filthy curve.

Dye actually went opposite field and had a nice level swing.

Runners on the corners...Dye actually got a f***ing hit.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 08:37 PM) You would be b****ing if the Sox were 20-0 right now. :headshake I would...its f***ing stupid to have Dye in the 5 hole. Managers make mistakes, but what Ozzie is doing in regards to Dye is retarded. Crede is hitting the ball, move him up to the 5 spot and drop Dye to the 9 hole. I'd even suggest swapping Rowand with Dye if the Sox don't want Crede in that pressure spot, but at the same time Rowand isn't exactly clobbering the ball either. Regardless, Dye hitting in the 5 hole is moronic.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) Jason, how often do you get to see Duscherer (sp)? He's got a real nice curveball, and everytime I see him, he dominates. Not often, but he seems to be a pretty good reliever stastically. I haven't watched him pitch enough to tell you much about him other than his numbers.

QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) Cora is ok, but I cringe a lot of times when I see hin sending guys home. The Sox get lucky a lot there too. He was the best 3rd base coach in baseball last year and seems to do his job. Sure people get thrown out every once in a great while, but most of the time he's right and typcially the Sox are getting the extra base. I'd rather see that with the ocassional agressive throw out than the other way around. HE's not just stupidly waving guys home.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) Here's the one thing I want to see from my manager on a consistent basis: Put the team in the best chance to succeed that game. Yes, there will be games where the other team hits a big 3 run homer or the other pitcher throws a gem. However, I do have a problem with the manager obviously lets his team down with his decisions on lineups and pitching strategies/bullpen use. For example, he just keeps Crede in the 9 spot while Dye is hitting like absolute s*** and stays in the 5 hole. Jermaine Dye needs to be moved from the 5 spot, not later, NOW. When he starts hitting he can move back up, but Ozzie is hurting the offense with Dye sticking in the 5 hole.

QUOTE(whitesoxeducator @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) there goes the win for buerhle ITs his own damn fault in a sense. Ozzie could of pulled him a little early, but regardless Buehrle got plenty of support and couldn't get the win. s*** happens. Hopefully the Sox can get some more runs and the bullpen can shut em down from here on out.

QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) He's a moron and Joey Cora isn't much better, Nah, Cora is a pretty darn good 3rd base coach. Aside from that Ozzie definately mismanged this. You could tell Mark didn't have it and Marte is up for a reason. Of course on the flipside, Buehrle pitches quite well to Chavez so who knows. Still he left him in a little too long.

Ya, I'm totally puzzled. Especially since he's supposed to be very fast and a pretty solid defender. Between him and Gonzo I have no idea what is going on

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 01:35 PM) Jason.. you do or don't think Tyra is attractive..? IMO, she's 100X better than Beyonce.. she's got a butt and some meet on her legs.. but she's doesn't jiggle. Beyonce "jiggles". Oh I do.

I really do apologize for taking so stinking long with this. We have a few more features ready to release in the next few days. Schools just been a royal pain in the butt and it gets in the way of stuff. Edit: Dan is probably sitting in shock at the fact that its finally up.

The Top 25: 5-1 By FutureSox Staff April 26, 2005 We are continuing our countdown of the White Sox top 25 prospects. Spring Training has finished and the major league season has begun. The start of the minor league season lies two days ahead, so keep an eye on the guys on the list as well as some of the sleepers FutureSox.com will discuss later on in the year...MORE

Well Bakker definately needs to head on down. I think you will see Gio promoted after two more starts, but it could even happen quicker. And then of course you will have Whisler rejoining the rotation so someone else will be kind of an odd man out at that point. You could also see someone at WS get promoted to BHam.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 01:29 PM) The fashion industry is run by people who think skinny is hot. Personally, I like meat on women. A lot of guys think J-Lo is fat, I think she's perfect. Super Skinnyg - UGGGh Fat - UGGH Right in the middle (give or take a bit) = PERFECT D's = Bad C's = Solid Nice Bs = Fantastic Its funny how what the fashion industry hypes is kind of the opposite of what most people in the real world want. On a sidenote I'm not implying that Tyra and whoever else aren't hot, they are, but those girls that are just super super thin...not attractive to me at least. Ugliest thought of Hot women in the world = Anna Nicole Smith (NUFF SAID).

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 01:27 PM) We're talking about young kids, it takes a while for some of them to be happy in their own skin. Ya, I just don't get it. I never ever thought I had to do steroids, no one ever did. I know a lot of the football players at my school used them (not that it did them any good) but our baseball team was clean. But seriously I don't get it. It doesn't make you that much better. It takes more smarts than talent and strength to be good at the high school level anyway.

No, I was just implying they needed to make a roster change. I think your probably going to be right and Diaz will be activated. His injury isn't supposed to be very serious. That or you could see Bham promote someone to Charlotte. On a sidenote, there is talk Gio may get a promotion faster than some would of suspected.

Good call Cheat.
