Sox Affiliates Ready for Postseason Play By Jeff Buchanan SoxNet It has been a very successful year for White Sox Minor League affiliates with four of the organizations six U.S. based teams reaching the postseason. While the Great Falls Voyagers still have a couple of regular season games left to play before starting their playoff run, the Birmingham Barons, Winston-Salem Dash and Kannapolis Intimidators have all finished their regular season's and will play their first postseason games either tomorrow or Thursday...MORE

First Impression: Daniel Hudson By Mario Scalise I know Tuesday night's appearance wasn't Daniel Hudson's major league debut, but since I missed his first one over the weekend (two scoreless innings, btw), this will have to do...First Impression: Daniel Hudson

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 7, 2009 -> 06:30 PM) So, since Tony Pena isn't Dotel Lite, what do we do with Octavio this offseason? I'm for resigning him, since he adds a strength to the bullpen, and Pena or Linebrink are the other options for the right-handed setup man. They will not offer him arb and he will be a UFA that will sign elsewhere, imo.

Congrats

When are most of the network shows starting?

What a dumbass Merriman is too. f***ing can't stand that prick.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 07:17 PM) wow, what a f***ing nutjob. hahaha f***ing dumbass...I hope he gets embarassed this weekend by the Trojans.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 11:09 AM) That's my point. Most teams that have conference schedules play relative lower talent teams too. Penn State has Northwestern, Purdue, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota... USC has Washington, Washington St., Stanford, Arizona, Oregon St... Florida has Vanderbilt, Mississippi St, South Carolina, Auburn, Kentucky... Texas has Kansas St, Texas A&M, Iowa St, Baylor, Colorado... Plus in their non-conference games, they play teams like St Mary's School For Girls, and Broken Pelvis State. Just to opint out Knight, but Iowa opened the season in the top 25 in one poll. They did lose there stud RB, but they also were the only big ten team last year to win a bowl game and finished last season very strong and ranked.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 08:50 AM) My mom recently got her first children's book published. Thats very cool. By the way, Soxtalk must be home to some of the coolest parents ever. My dad sells Real Estate and ummmm...thats all I got. My mom sold clothes to Roger Clemens, Bill Gross, Joan Crock, and a ton of other famous people whose name escapes my mind and she once got me into a model show when I was like 16. To say the least, I felt like a pimp, but really I was just a pimpled dork oohing and awing at models at a young age.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 06:04 PM) My roommate 2 years ago peed in a girls bed one night (he pisses the bed when he drinks too much). Then they started dating for like a year. So you never know... First time I went to kiss my girlfriend was on a night that I couldn't even stand straight and had just finished vomitting onto the street. She turned me down and I woke up from texts from my buddies telling me that I needed to apologize to the girl I brought. I had no recollection of anything, but its still going strong!!!!

Would have loved Getz in the two spot but with a lefty starting I understand. I just hate a guy like Nix that strikes out as much as he does in the 2 spot.

Kotsay will be back. Sox really like him and I think he really likes it in Chicago. I f***ing love having a titan on the team. The last time we had a Titan on the roster we won the world series (see Aaron Rowand).

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 02:29 PM) I know it is only Western Michigan, but damn, they look good. Just based upon today's games, that ND-Michigan game is looking a heck of a lot better.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 01:30 PM) I've been with you all year on him while others weren't convinced. Rookie 2B batting .280. I just hope he can stay healthy. Its a good place to be...the only two guys I've been super vocal about were Getz and Floyd and I'll be right on both of em I f***ing love Gavy

QUOTE (north side chi sox fan @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 01:27 PM) I think it is safe to say Getz will be on this team next year I love love love this tema for next year. THey need to tweak the pen but as a whole I love it. I love Getzy.

The route is on in South Bend!!!!! Beautiful ND. Claussen is f***ing good, real good. There receivers are even better though.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 01:11 PM) If you have an oppurtunity to add Felix to an already strong rotation- you do it. And ban me from this site?!? never!! My 'offer' was a bit exaggerated because of how much in return Seattle would ask for, and they have every right to ask for the moon for King Felix. I don't even think Seattle would make that deal. I think it would take Ramirez, Floyd, and Danks. Possibly a Viciedo or Hudson too. And before people call me an idiot, no I would not make that trade from the Sox perspective, but I got a feeling thats the type of offer it would take to land him.

And I still think Notre Dame is going to be a lot lot better than people think. There oline is going to be very good and the offense will be very legit. I guarantee a top 10 finish.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 12:17 PM) Brutal clock management by Northern Iowa there. And why the hell did they not rush up to the line and just run the ball into the middle before kicking the field goal. Absolutely terrible job by their coach who did a hell of a job the rest of the game. Oh and Iowa sucks, they are screwed on offense without Jewel Hampton. Stanzi looked good, we have receivers and Robinson had some flashes. They clearly miss Jewel but the defense is going to get better and will be one of the best defenses in college football again. I still expect a top 20 season for the Hawkeyes.

QUOTE (T R U @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 11:50 AM) Ohio State is gonna get crushed by USC No they won't. They'll win the game.

f*** me...holding, it all comes back.

Ricky Stanzi...TD pass!!!! IOWA LEADS!!! WOOOO Stanzi is getting his s*** together this half and boy is he better than Christensen.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 11:20 AM) I wouldn't be too worried as an Iowa fan, they've been controlling the whole half. Plus that was a nice catch. There challenging it. I had no idea how he hauled it in and this challenge will probably show me it wasn't a catch. ANd I'll be worried until they score and get a nice lead because there offense has looked pretty bad still. Defense is starting to play and they should have a stellar defense this year.

What a f***ing catch by STrauss....woooo. This WR core is pretty good, imo.
