We love you Frank. But we don't need you. As the saying goes, "If it's not broke, then don't fix it."

Good job fat ass Uribe. The guy is only good for a sac fly. Everett needs to learn how to field. When Thomas gets back I'd rather have a s***ty hitting Dye playing right then a s***ty fielding Everett.

Excellent starting pitching so far. Garland, keep it going!

COME ON GARLAND!!! YOUR TURN TO STEP UP!

QUOTE(FlaCWS @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) Dustin Hermanson looked great in the 8th. Ozzie lifted him just because Takatsu is the "closer." I've never understood that mentality. I mean, if you have Rivera or Gagne, fine, but no one else should get that automatic call, IMO. This is not a second guess. I was thinking this when Shingo came out there for the ninth. Now the game is tied and I'm not sure what pitchers are left if they need extra innings. Maybe Vizcaino. Hopefully we can win it in the bottom of the ninth so it won't matter. Ozzie has Takatsu on his Fantasy team.

I can't stand the fact that he used Cotts, Politte and Marte in ONE INNING??!! These are Major League pitchers. If they cannot pitch an entire inning then maybe they shouldn't be in the majors. If they are right handed pitchers and can't get out left handed batters then they shouldn't be in the majors. If they are left handed and can't get out right handed batters they shouldn't be in the majors. Not to mention making millions of dollars.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) Positives: The Sox did some real nice things with the stick today. Contreras pitched his "dark, sweaty" balls off, and the rest of the bullpen guys looked crisp. Negatives: We take a L on the season, question both Ozzie and Shingo, and wear out one of the best arms in the pen. Ah yes, I see were are in mid-season form. One game folks, not the end of the world. On to Minny! 3 run leads in the ninth are the games you must win. Only losers accept losing.

Why would you put Cotts & Politte on your pitching staff and not let them pitch??

Guillen is a dips*** and still doesn't know how to handle the pitching staff. You use 6 pitchers in the 3 run ball game??? Dumbass.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) South Korean pitcher Sang Ho Moon, 23, pitches as Chicago White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper, left, and General Manager Ken Williams watch, during a free agent tryout at the Chicago White Sox spring training facility in Tucson, Ariz., Tuesday, March 1, 2005. Moon reportedly played professional ball in Korea in 1999 and 2000, and is returning to baseball after a manditory four-year military service obligation. KW: "I think he should have won the oscar for Finding Neverland."

KW: Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years.....

I heard an interview with Greg Walker that said he thought Crede would have an even worse season. Walker said he'd be suprised if Crede hit .200 with 15 hrs.

I bet the Cubs get Ordonez now.

Minaya is going to learn this year that there is more to winning than just buying players. The Mets will be losers. Again.

Boras said Ordonez is a better fielder than Hidalgo? I thought Hidalgo had a cannon? Won't it be weird seing our pitchers face Maggs?

The things I look forward to are more consistency from our offense, more consistency in our pitching, a wider range of talent, a solid bench, and the only question mark I think right now is a bullpen spot and Crede. I'm so pumped for the season. I feel like having someone freeze my body until April.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jan 19, 2005 -> 04:47 AM) So what? Who had more sucess in their first 4 complete seasons? Who showed more signs of being a great MLB pitcher? I could only imagine the Sox signing some stud pitcher out of pony ball, and every time he got lit up, people would be screaming "HE'S ONLY 12 YEARS OLD!!!! HOW MANY WINS DID ROGER CLEMENS HAVE WHEN HE WAS 12???" Do you research and you will see. Garland's first 5 years, 149 games, 46 wins, age 25 Johnson's first 5 years, 157 games, 56 wins, age 29 I'm not saying Garland is better than Johnson. I'm just saying GET OFF HIS f***ING BACK!!!

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jan 19, 2005 -> 03:46 AM) I'm sorry that he hasn't been a 20 game winner by the age of 25... I know what you are saying. It would be interesting to let everyone know that Randy Johson only had 3 wins by the age of 25. Garland has 46.

I said we write a letter to the SF and Oakland papers telling them that we don't care about what AJ did in SF and we don't want to hear anymore of their stories. Then we ALL sign it.

Does anyone know how to get those huge MLB schedules that alot of bars have?

I was actually wondering the same thing you were Y2HH

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jan 8, 2005 -> 06:18 PM) But there's a significant difference: Ray was 23, and Willie was 26. Ray hadn't gotten anywhere near his full performance level, Willie..... Good point. I did overlook age.
