More media friendly too. I was able to get up the piece before the supplemental round started. Too bad I got to leave pretty soon, STUPID SUMMER SCHOOL.

I'd say Suzuki, the guy creamed the ball at the regional yesterday. Hit a shot about 420 to dead center and in the 2nd game he was a triple shy of the cycle. KC just takes Howell from Texas.

Jackson's stock has been falling.

When I say stud potential, I mean it. The guy has totally turned things around and is really a pretty damn good pitcher. His secondary pitches are really coming around and his velocity has only been going up.

Jason Vargas is really good. If he goes to the Sox, then I'll definately be at Long Beach's interview taking some pics of him pitching and try to get an interview too.

White Sox Draft Fields in the 1st By Jason Gage June 7, 2004 FutureSox.com The White Sox have selected Oklahoma State 3rd baseman Josh Fields with their 1st round pick. Fields is a two sport star that also plays quarterback for the Cowboys. Fields not only fills a need in the organization, 3rd base), but he also has a very high upside and had some of the most power potential of any player in the draft. Fields had a very strong Big 12 conference showing and rates out as a very good player, who is still a little raw. Defensively Fields has room to grow, but he does have a strong, accurate arm, and improving footwork. With time most scouts believe that Fields will develop into a solid, if not good defensive 3rd baseman. Still, offense is the reason he was drafted early and the kid can rake it. He has a very nice swing that creates a ton of power and he also should be able to hit for an average. Other Rumors: Baseball America has reported that the White Sox are very interested in LHP Jason Vargas (Long Beach State), and catcher Jason Jaramillo (Oklahoma State). Both Vargas and Jamarillo are talented players. Another player still on the board that may interest the White Sox is BJ Szymanski (Princeton). Szymanski is an outfielder from Princeton with a ton of upside that was expected to go in the 1st round. The White Sox pick next at 34th overall, so 3 teams are picking ahead of them. After 34, then they select at 38th and then the draft moves into the 2nd round.

What Boz and Dbhao each said. They are easily my 2nd favorite team and I go to a ton of games there.

4 picks till the Sox go again.

15 minute break and then the supplemental round starts. The Dodgers made a good pick in Blake DeWitt. Guy is a real stud. I'm so f***ing stoked the ANgels got Weaver

Great pick in Fields, was surprised to see Powell go off the board in the 1st. A's must have made an agreement with him. I'm so pissed I have to leave for school soon.

I'm going to make a point to stop eating out. I figure if I can eat at home during the week or at least on the most part it make a huge difference in staying healthier. I exercise a lot, but just watching the movie made me think I still dont' do enough. And your right, I really dont' want to eat fast food after seeing it, haha.

Watched the movie tonight and it was really good. Put the blame squarely on the shoulders of people, which is exactly how it should be, and it really brought up some good points and was also pretty funny at times. If you ask me, the problem with obescity starts at schools. If you go to school as a kid, your not going to know what you should eat, your going to pick the chips, the soda, and all the other good stuff that your parents don't let you have. They aught to get that crap out of middle school and basically leave it where the choices you have are part of a balanced diet. I'm usually not one to force things on people, but I see no reason to expose kids to candy and all that crap at school where no one can tell them not to eat it. Very few kids are going to turn away that type of stuff. Anyway, I do think some things have to be done to get this population thinner. I'm not going to tell people to stop going to McDonalds though and I sure as hell ain't going to tell McDonalds not to make a money, but if you are complaining about putting on weight, my suggestion is exercise and stop eating fast food. IGNORE THE ADKINS DIET, and IGNORE ALL OTHER DIET FADS. Excercising and a healthy diet are the only REAL SOLUTION. I realize it doesn't work for all, but no matter what its a good start. This movie definately opened up some of my eyes and was good.

, Young will take some time, but I like Sweeney, Reed, and Anderson more at this point...but we know my feelings on Young....STUD

Thanks for sharing that with us. Don't know mcuh about that player your talking about, but my guess is he's a pretty good one. Notre Dame has a ton of talented young players. They really seem to be a developing program. Had they not been riddled with injuries, they probably would of been a favorite to go all the way.

White Sox Recall Jamie Burke By Jason Gage June 5, 2004 FutureSox.com The Chicago White Sox recalled catcher/infielder Jamie Burke from Charlotte. Burke replaces Magglio Ordonez on the White Sox roster. Ordonez is expected to miss 4-7 weeks after undergoing knee surgery. The surgery appears to have went well and the doctors felt the injury was less severe then originally suspected. Ordonez was able to walk after the operation and will likely begin his rehab assignment on Monday. Jamie Burke probably won't stay on the White Sox roster for long as Joe Borchard is coming back from a leg injury. Borchard was recently mentioned in some trade talks with the Seattle Mariners for Freddy Garcia, but Ken Williams came out and said Borchad wasn't going anywhere while prize prospect Jeremy Reed is "untouchable". Borchard homered in his second game back and has hit safely in the three games he has played in since his brief absence from the lineup. Borchard had 10 homers on the season and is hitting .286 with 38 RBI. Burke was hitting .213 with 1 HR and 11 RBI. He played in 3 games with the White Sox earlier in the year going 0-1 with a walk.

Four Draft and Follow Picks Sign By Jason Gage June 5, 2004 FutureSox.com The Chicago White Sox have come to terms with four draft and follow selections from the 2003 amateur draft. A draft and follow selection is when you draft a junior college player and then let them play their next season with that junior college team. Once the season is up then you must come to terms with the player otherwise they can re-enter the draft. Rolando Acosta (SS), Eric Everly (LHP), Dustin Shaffer (SS), and Brandon Johnson (2nd) were the four picks the Sox came to terms with. They were drafted in consecutive rounds with Acosta being taken in the 41st round and Johnson in the 44th round. Below is a little info on each player that was written in FutureSox’s 2003 Draft Review: Roland Acosta – SS – Pima Community College Acosta was born o¬n April 13, 1983 and is a 5'11" 170 pound right-hander. Much like first round pick Brian Anderson, the White Sox have had plenty of opportunities to see him play as the Sox training facilities are in nearby Tucson. He is a classic late round pick, athletic, raw, and a draft-and-follow candidate. Pima Community College is the alma mater (as much as a JC can be) of several major leaguers, including Erubiel Durazo. Eric Everly – LHP – Olney Central Junior College (Pictured Above) The White Sox must really want Eric Everly, as this was the 2nd time he was drafted by the Sox. In his first year at Olney Central Junior College, Everly showed a good K:IP ratio, and continued that success with the Waterloo Bucks, who play in the Northwoods League. Could be a candidate for draft-and-follow. Dustin Shaffer – SS - St. Catharine Shaffer was sent to St. Catharine junior college to play a season. He is a speedy shortstop prospect who stole 38 bases in 39 attempts this season. However, he doesn't appear to have the ability to play shortstop and will likely move to the outfield, with center being the most likely destination. Brandon Johnson – L/R – 2nd – Crowder College (Freshman) Brandon Johnson is a freshman at Crowder College, who played his high school baseball at Glynn Academy in Brunswick Georgia. As a freshman it is likely that he is a draft and follow candidate. Johnson, like many latter round picks, doesn't have good odds to be a major leaguer, and will likely be a tough sign, simply because the odds are stacked against him and the money isn't there. Plus he has the leverage of being able to play another three years of baseball at the collegiate level, trying to improve his draft status.

Kannapolis Makes a Few Roster Moves By Jason Gage June 5, 2004 FutureSox.com The Kannapolis Intimidators were busy on Saturday. First they received right handed pitcher Adam Larson from the Winston Salem Warthogs. Larson went 1-1 with an 8.82 ERA in 16/1/3 innings of work. He also pitched with the Intimidators earlier in the season and went 1-0 with a 3.52 ERA in 7/2/3 innings. Larson was a 15th round selection in the 2002 draft. The Intimidators also received RHP Fernando Hernandez from extended spring training. Hernandez spent 2003 with the Great Falls White Sox where he went 1-3 with a 2.74 ERA in 24 games. The Intimidators released Tim Tisch and placed catcher Cesar Castillo on the disabled list to make room for the two new players. Tisch entered the season in the Intimidators rotation and has been a big dissapointment. He went 1-4 with a 5.27 ERA in 12 games (6 starts). He was a 34 round selection by the White Sox in the 2001 draft. Last season he pitched with both Bristol (3-5, 3.13 ERA) and Kannapolis (1-1, 1.93 ERA).

Olivo - C Sweeney - LF Anderson - CF Ordonez - RF Reed - 1st Harris - 2nd Valido - SS Schnur - 3rd Caballo - DH Rotation: Buehrle Garland Munoz Cotts McCarthy Bullpen: Marte Tagatsu (he can pitch till he's 50) Baj Majewski Fabio Castro Jason Stumm (sleeper pick)

I saw it last night and thought it was entertaining. I know the critics really ripped the movie, but I enjoyed it. Some cool effects and in general a cool story. Obviously their was some parts you had to look the other way, but entertaining none the less.

RIP Ronald

Weird then...I was at my friends and he had the Sox game on, but at my house I get Regan updates. I was hoping it was just because of the commercial. Then again, Regan is from the area I'm in so maybe thats why they keep talking about it. Sad stuff, but if I wanted to watch 10 hrs of tv on him dying, I'd turn it to Fox News.

Is anyone else still getting the Fox News stuff on Regan????

Man, I nominate this for one of the top threads. Shuf your still cracking me up sober this morning and so are you nuke.

I'd say you see a package of Rowand, Rauch and another prospect, possibly a good one.
