striker

I went back through the old posts and searched but couldn't find it. Thanks in advance.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 06:59 PM) Coco Crisp offered for Mark Buehrle and Brad WIlkerson offered for one of our starters? What is up with that? Aren't starting pitchers at a premium? Shouldn't we be getting better offers than this? I just find this ridiculous. I've offered to kill them but KW has not returned my calls.

The key stat that is missing is L or BS. Who cares if we score 10 runs if we don't win the game.

We now have 4 starters with ERAs over 4, 3 of which are over or close to 5. What do you think the problem is? Do you think they lost their desire to win since they already have a ring? Do you think the offense has been so good (stunk last year) that the pitchers feel they can slack more? With all this talk about us getting relievers, I'd rather get a top starter. Even if we made the playoffs, I wouldn't feel the confidence in this pitching staff I had last year.

So many people have cried in the past about sacrificing prospects for current big leagues. After reading this article and seeing what talent we have given up in the past I feel trading the future for the present is a wise move. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws How many other prospects were all hype?

Pitching is more important than offense. We already have one of the best offenses in baseball but our starting pitching is still questionable outside Buehrle and Contreras. Two of our starters have ERAs over 5 and one over 4.5. If anything we need to upgrade our starting pitching. Jason Schmidt would be a nice addition and we could probably dump Vazquez if we ate some of his salary and some prospects. Keep McCarthy in the bullpen and bring him up next year after letting Schmidt walk.

Vazquez sucks. He throws BP everytime he pitches. His fastball is not what it was in Montreal. Dump his ass.

Had to say it. Does anyone know about Robbie Alomars availability?

Thanks yo

I know I know I'm a little behind but I've been busy. Is there a wallpaper for the June Schedule floating around?

It doesn't help that McCarthy and Politte suck too. Cotts, Jenks and Thorton are the only ones worth a crap.

Overbay stole a base? It's a sad sad day

This is just sad. It's like the Jays are using the big red wiffle bat. On another note: What the hell is Brian Anderson still in the majors?

Ozzie is a moron for taking out Vazquez. He can't leave anything alone. He always has to f*** with things to feel important. We better not blow another Vazquez win.

If Cliff Polite throws 1 pitch inside, JUST ONE!!!, there's no way Sweeney homers. Cliff was on the outside corner the whole time, Sweeney cheated and hit it out. I just hope Polite reads this message board!

I bet Hafner homers to show ozzie Lefty vs Lefty matchups are over rated

Why don't you think Guillen would call for the squeeze when cintron was batting?

Summary of todays game: Cleveland can hit 88mph fastballs

Freddy Garcia has nothing on his fastball. He's getting traded.

That's the problem with the bullpen, one bad pitch can make your whole outing look bad when in fact you pitched good. You don't have another 5-6 innings that day to redeem yourself. Look at Vizcaino last year. He had that 1 outing that he gave up like 6 runs in 3 innings and it made his ERA balloon. Overall he had a great year, but that one outing made him look bad. A bullpen pitcher has to have a totally different mindset.

I live in Chicago and I'm looking for Sox apparel for a 2T boy and a 3T girl. Know of any good places in town or online to shop? MLB.com and Chicagosports.com don't have much for kids.

It looks like Rick White

Who is pitching for the sox now?

Frank Thomas is a 6'5" 300lbs woman. "I mean, Robin (Ventura). Guys that could have been cornerstones forever in your organization. Alex Fernandez, Wilson Alvarez. It just continues. OK?" I loved these three guys and was dissapointed to see them leave. But I do recall that none of them amounted to s*** after they left. So the Sox ultimately made the right decision letting them leave. You can add McDowell to that list.
