Guillen Denies Talks About Extension

So yea... that Matt Kemp guy is pretty good..

Bobby as usual, gets the job done. Looks like I got home just in time.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Sep 4, 2007 -> 12:26 AM) I mean sure, its nice to win games, i would like for the sox to win games, don't get me wrong. BUT, the situation that we are in RIGHT NOW, the only thing winning games does is potentially hurt us from getting the top pick in the upcoming draft. NOW, if the sox, lets say, didn't suck and were actually in the race, then i like any other sox fan would want them to win. But really, i would like for them to lose just so we can actually get some top talent in the draft for once. I have gotten used to them losing by now so i really don't care anymore, i get more upset when they win and TB loses, because all they do is stock up their farm system with even better talent then they had before with every loss they recieve. Very solid post.

This is really getting to you isn't it Greg?

Only thing that shockes me about Santana this season is he giving up a ton of homers regardless if they are mostly solo shots. I believe he leads the league in homers allowed this season. If he's not, he's damn close cause every time I watch a highlight of him this season, he pitches a good game, but an opposing player(s) takes him deep. This is what you would call a "bad" season for him even though alot of pitchers in this league would kill to have his numbers this season.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 3, 2007 -> 11:12 PM) I know you have a major hard on for Hu, but Hu has posted a career .346 OBP in the minors, .337 in AAA. That doesn't scream 2 hole hitter.... I just wish certain posters will get off him considering he'll be a rookie who is probably going to struggle. That's not even considering KW is looking for a veteran SS because we are not rebuilding and were looking to contend again next season (don't think he wants basically two rookies playing a DP combo and knowing both could possibly have poor seasons.) Hu is a nice spect, but he is not a "can't miss." He's NOT comming here.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Sep 3, 2007 -> 03:27 PM) Great Falls will start at 8 CST. GF won 5-3 That kid Moreno is looking like someone to keep an eye on. He's been very solid this short season. 6 IP 1 H 0 R 0 ER 0 BB 5 SO Paiml 2-4, 2 R Turner 3-3 3 RBIs Persichina 3-4, R, RBI

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Sep 3, 2007 -> 10:29 PM) I'm going to walk away from the labtop and go to sleep, hopefully by morning this post will be like a dream. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Seriously Jesus Christ.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 3, 2007 -> 07:16 PM) Whitesox.com has Gavin starting on Wednesday against the gambler. Comcast Sportsnet has him going on Tuesday against Bonderman.. I hope that isn't the case because I have Wednesday off work and I want to see Gavin pitch.

Happy Birthday SSI71. :cheers Also happy B-Day to cubssuck1. You are a hellova poster and a good guy. I've acknowledged you in my sig already my friend if you ever stop retiring or not..

QUOTE(Yossarian @ Sep 3, 2007 -> 09:30 PM) I can't speak for anyone else, but I live close to Charlotte, and reluctantly concur about the negative assessments of Broadway and Phillips. Broadway underwhelms, has control problems, looks to me like he has a low ceiling. Phillips regressed this year, and is getting "old" as prospects go. We're all Sox fans here, young and old, liberal, conservative and apolitical. No one wants to be the harbinger of gloom, the cupboard just looks awful bare all across the Sox farm system. Very solid post.

I hope your drunk.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Sep 2, 2007 -> 08:51 PM) Winston-Salem won 4-1 in 10 despite 19 Ks for the offense I'm sorry but even though he is not our prospect, David Hernandez (Baltimore spect) really was impressive. 9 IP 3 H 1 R 1 ER 0 BB 18 SO. God damn..

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 2, 2007 -> 12:50 AM) T.I. at the Rave this Thursday, Bone Thugs the following Wednesday and Common a couple Saturdays from today (well, yesterday). I. am. pumped. Cool points went up 20x in my book.

Charlotte wins 3-0 Sisco was good. 5.1 IP 1 H 0 R 0 ER 4 BB 8 SO Bourgeois (the one who the organization hates) 2-4, BB, R, 2B Collaro 1-4, HR, RBI, R Ricks 1-4, R, 2B Birmingham loses 4-0 Wing was outstanding. As previously stated had a no-no thru 7. 7.2 IP 1 H 0 R 0 ER 2 BB 6 SO Russell was horrid. Getz 0-3, BB W-S has a D-H. Game 1 lost 4-1 DLS.. don't need to mention. Schnurstein 2-3, R Gartrell 2-3 They won Game 2 won 7-1 The win machine D. Rodriguez has another one. 6 IP 5 H 1 R 1 ER 5 BB 8 SO Link 1 IP 1 H 1 SO Orlando 1-3, HR, RBI, 2 BB, R Schnurstein 0-4, 2 SO Gartrell 2-4, R Kanny won 7-1 Rice. 6 IP 5 H 1 R 1 ER 1 BB 2 SO Shirek 1 IP 1 H 1 SO Miranda (probably our best SS prospect) 2-4, R, 2B, BB Gilbert 1-3, BB, 2 R Allen 2-4, RBI, BB, 2 R Killian 3-4, RBI, 2 R, 2 2B Great Falls won 14-1 Don't need to mention Poreda.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 09:38 PM) There I am, hanging in a dear friend's apartment in Uptown. We're talking about life and relaxing. We'd spoken before about how she needs to see Wrigley Field. (I think it's a beautiful park, the more I go there, and it's a great place to go, IMO, except for the team and fans, but that doesn't bother me too much.) Suddenly I say, "Let's go," and we wound up getting there at the start of the fifth inning. We wound up in the third row, in the club section, right behind the Cubs bullpen. There's Kerry Wood, ten feet in front of me. Ohman. Howry. Dempster. And so we sit there, relaxing, enjoying the day and chit-chatting about baseball. Mocking the Cub fans. Laughing when they chant "Asshole! Asshole!" at Carlos Lee. Cheering Lee for his double and scoring. Enjoying the game though we're losing and I think we're going to lose. And then the eighth starts and I say to D., "I'm going to try and heckle Dempster into a blown save. If I get us kicked out, will you be mad?" Laughter. "No, but, be careful." "Well, I'm not going to threaten his life or anything." So I start when he gets up. First with You Sucks and then Your Team Sucks, First Place or Not and then all sorts of variations on "You Suck." Just screaming at him between pitches for the whole eighth inning and when the Cubs had two outs in the ninth I yelled at him, "It's almost time for you to suck, Dempster. But I guess there's always time to suck when you're Ryan Dempster!" ("That guy's harsh," said a Cub fan behind me.) There were these skinny, so-skinny-they're-somewhat-sickly-IMO girls in front of us and they hated me. So when I'd yell they'd meekly say, "Go Ryan!" and I'd yell louder that he's awful, "I don't care what your save percentage says, you're a fluke." And when he was leaving he shot me a dirty look. Gave me a dirty look a couple of times. I'd like to believe that I heckled Ryan Dempster into giving up a homerun to Carlos Lee that left the park. A friend of mine in Boston says he heckled Billy Koch into blowing a save. That was my inspiration, and I've never been that close to The Enemy's Bullpen at any park (I often sit behind the Sox dugout in the Cell) so I had to seize the dog. I want you to screw me... Right here on the jagged rocks.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 09:32 PM) 5-10, 130.5 Damn your skinny. I'm only 5'7-5'8 but I weigh 165-170. (Alittle chubby but easily could lose if i wasn't lazy ) But I should talk, I weighed only 100 lbs. (5' even) my sophmore year in High School. This is the fattest I've ever been in my life.

I didn't watch this game (work) but it's a shame I saw that we only had 4 hits and Owens had 2 of them. And even Uribe.. wow.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 09:14 PM) He better be. We're going to need it. And I know he is the only prospect your excited about and already giving him your standards for him in the future.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 09:11 PM) Baltimore is freaking pathetic. Losing 30-3 and being no hit in less than 2 weeks is impressive. I wonder what that would say about us considering we have a worse record.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 09:10 PM) Pfft. It's been done before and at a younger age. IMHO, Phillip Hughes would have done it also if he didn't get hurt.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 07:59 PM) DLS Here is our Clay Buchholz.

He has a nasty.... NASTY hook.

He did it.
