Ya he is and its crazy cause Bard is getting traded..

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 30, 2006 -> 07:48 PM) Oh and where are the Cubs going to play him (lol)? Pie and/or Pierre is the future in CF, they are stuck with Jock for 2 years after this, and Lord knows how much they love Matt Murton. Pie (the 5 tool stud) is their future CF. The thing is they better hope Harvey develops cause I can see them letting Jones go after 2 years (or even trade same with Pierre who has better value) till Harvey comes up and will be their future RF. They see it as a Murton-Pie-Harvey and if Harvey (or another top spect of theirs) doesn't work, they can always slide Pie to right (good arm) even though he throws left-handed (hell Jones throws left) That's the thing about the cubs though. There is always "what if", "how about", "he should had", etc.. etc.. etc.. with their team/organization. They don't/will never get it done when it comes to building a championship team it's always "wait till next year" always and eigher a player(s) gets injured, or they fall in love too much with their prospects (or wait till they can/cannot develop.)

Jenks was throwing a bit in the pen, but I think he wanted to give him the day off and use Neal who has been proclaimed to be a "future closer."

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 30, 2006 -> 12:03 AM) Prob wont be remembered that much.... MVP of the WORLD SERIES,= something we've never had in Chicago since the early 1900s. Got the game winning hit in the clincher. Man if he isn't remembered then we can just erase his stats right now.

A nice "Ace" game by Count, BA is looking better at the plate (No K's.. ) Thome, Dye come through, Thornton looked ok despite not pitching in a few days and BAAAAAAD Bobby Jenks comes through 7/7. Nice game all around.

I don't care what anybody says. As far as World Series homeruns go, Joe Carters' homer to me, was the greatest homerun in a World Series ever. To hit one in a game 7, in the bottom of the 9th, to win a World Series is every kids dream and the perfect timing. As far as the Whitesox homerun, I would consider Blums to be huge. The guy barely gets an at-bat for about 3 weeks and to hit one in your ONLY AB in the playoffs (yet alone the W.S.) in the longest W.S game in history was simply amazing.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) Im not too sold on Lendale White, he adds alot of weight and he has a poor workout and isnt motivated. I was saying that in regard to both playing against each other just a few months ago and now on the same team potentially hearing the names "Young hands off to White."

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) I wonder how many people are wishing we still had Luis Vizcaino. I don't, not to a degree... But I always liked Chad Bradford. I always thought he would still look good in a sox uni.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 06:26 PM) Someone superimposed Carlos Delgado's face over Juan Uribe's. He looks more like Ray Durham to me. EDIT: Just saw your post Greasy.. Completely agree.

Man this draft has been weird especially for the Titans. They got Vince Young and LenDale White...

QUOTE(Cloudyguy09 @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 03:17 PM) haha yea FINALLY!! I was waiting for someone to post a Big Hurt rookie pic.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 01:40 AM) Michael Irvin on SC saying it's horrible....."Defense doesn't win championships....being able to outscore the other team is what matters." Somewhere in his pocket I can sniff the drugs.... BTW, I'm still shocked about all of this. I'm definitely gonna watch this draft for 4 hours or how many hours it is till it ends.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 12:54 AM) Here's a picture of Jose Contreras circa 1982. IMO, he looks pretty much the same as he does now. If that's Count in 1982, then his age of "35" now is iffy (like anyone thought that was his real age) cause I highly doubt that he was 11 years old in that pic.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 29, 2006 -> 12:39 AM) Go f*** yourself Weaver. ^^^^^^^ Times a trillion, he and Robert Fick. Great win tonight. And congrats to Freddy Garcia tying the most wins by a Venezuelan pitcher.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) Revolution is generic. Wii is unique and I love how the 'i' represents the innovative controller. ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Imagine Ventura and Larkin on the left side of the diamond..

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 12:25 AM) You do know the Cell is considered a "small ass" field when it's warm out? Yes, thats why I was surprised of the question. Hell, I think 2 of our starters pitched better on the road so I was very surprised that a question like this was posted. Not saying its dumb or anything but.... Or.. maybe I was reading it wrong.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 12:17 AM) This is an honest question for my fellow Sox fans....even with our stellar pitching rotation, do you think the Sox team is better suited for a smaller, homer hitting park? In my opinion, we're a better team when we're mashing homers and our pitchers are keeping the other team in the park. I would say 3/5 of our starters in the rotation are fly ball pitchers. They would get murdered if we had a small ass field just a regular fly ball or a hitter who was just a tad underneath a pitch could probably go out. Wouldn't matter what our hitters would do unless you want a 15-13, 12-10 score every game like in Colorado most of the time. Just my two cents.

Widger to me looks like he just wants to hit a homer with his big swing every time up. Cut down your swing Widge!!!

Well looking at Knight's sig, I think Rowand, Greasy, DBAH0 and I were the only ones to pick the Twins finishing ahead of them. Great minds think alike.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 26, 2006 -> 12:15 AM) BA with some good plate discipline tonight drawing 2 walks. Went hitless, but if he can keep drawing BB's, and get on base, I'll be very happy nonetheless. Ditto. Getting that OBP up for me. Mabye he can get his BB/SO ratio back to respectable.

What a statement. Good win, let's take the rubber match Mr. Mark "Ace" Buehrle.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) Brooks beats Lincoln Park 11-10 scoring 7 runs in the bottom of the 7th. Helluva game, and I was glad to be a part of it. Thats our 2nd win in the last bat. Our first came against Thornridge the Friday before Spring Break. Eigher these teams now are alittle weaker this year, or you guys had an off game, cuz Lincoln Park is one of the easiest teams to beat unless they've gotten better from their Soph (now Juniors) making the jump.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 11:59 AM) seriously, the ACT and SAT are easy. You will have no problem, its all about confidence and making quick decisions. Something I never had.. Hell I did below average on them, but it didn't really make a difference for me. It really depends if you want your sights set on a particular college, if not, any college can except you if you at least have good grades. You can't have bad grades, and have a bad score on the ACT. Then you can basically label yourself a "bum", "hustler" or my personal favorite "mcdonalds worker."
