QUOTE(korntownballa @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 11:22 PM) Sweeney to RF, Dye as the DH We're 2.5 and 4.5 back of Twins and Tigers repectively... Dye is an excellent defensive right fielder. I'd sooner but Sweeney in left, than Dye as DH.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 04:14 PM) Again though, he makes some comments that just don't need to be made. There's no reason to make fun of Mulder, who was injured, the way he did. Someone might want to remind Ozzie that he wasn't a HOF SS. I think someone missed the point...

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 06:24 PM) Almost every player on every team gets placed on waivers. This is nothing unexpected. I am sure Thome was placed on waivers as well. Once he gets claimed, you pull him back and it's done with. Nothing out of the ordinary. I doubt Thome was placed on waivers...

If Cintron had a better OBP, he'd probably be a good fit for the lead off spot in place of Uribe at short. But he doesn't...

QUOTE(Colorado Sox Fan @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:00 PM) Lousy umpiring, I'll agree, but how 'bout if Thome gets a hit instead of meekly bouncing out? And its just that easy... Eric Cooper is the only umpire's name I know, and I've known it for a few years now. He's the worst umpire in baseball. I would say he has something against the Sox, except for the fact that he pretty much always sucks. Anyone recall Crede's homerun in Baltimore in 03 that was 10 ft fair? No worries, Cooper didn't see it either...

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) It's worked out great for us and for Jermaine. Thank goodness he's a man who sticks by his word and didn't take that deal from Arizona. Thought it was Texas, but in any case, it's been great. Not to mention this guys D. Maggs is a good right fielder, but I think JD is about as good as it gets out there, with the exception of Ichiro.

Did this really happen? Lol...

QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 12:41 AM) I have been a White Sox fan for 30 years but trading for Vazquez was one of the worst I have ever seen, and believe me I have seen some bad ones over the years. How's that?

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 6, 2006 -> 08:30 AM) He sucks vs lefties and can't play D. Isn't he hitting lefties well this year???

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) A nice shot in the butt wouldnt hurt... No steroid innuendos...

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 17, 2006 -> 03:42 PM) Punching your wife, shows a lack of character and courage. I hope KW avoids acquiring players with those deficiencies. We don't know the whole story though, maybe she didn't make dinner that night.

Wait... How does Contreras not deserve an AS spot?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 04:00 PM) Hard to imagine that Williamson is the only one pitcher who feels this way. Actions have consequences. I'll take those consequences any day. Tracey knows what's up, so if there are guys like Williamson out there that don't have an interest to play for Ozzie or the Sox in general, better it is upfront, because we don't need them. The best talent is good to have, but I'll take ball players that want to be here, and know how to win.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) I don't understand the question. What did Ozzie have to do with anything about the comeback? He took Crede and Dye out early. If anything, he threw in the towel way before the players. You're taking your Ozzie man crush way too far. The bench is stepping up in the later part of games. Your point is taken, but I just want to note that by putting in Gload and Ozuna, he's not necessarily saying we're done. He expects to not give at bats away, no matter whose at the plate, the score, or inning.

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 03:24 AM) I 100% agree that Jay is a complete ass. However you can not use the term *** when talking to the media. It makes Ozzie and the organization look bad. I just don't understand why Ozzie keeps talking about Jay. Ozzie says he does not care what Jay says about him. If Ozzie did not care he would not talk about him all of the time. I think everyone on the Sox official comment on Jay needs to be "Jay who" or "no comment" When you're asked a question a million times, it's difficult not to answer it. Especially if you have animosity towards that person, and even more especially if you're Ozzie. Can't say I blame the guy...

He better be pumped about his homeruns - he's thrown out like 5 runners this year in 50 tries.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 21, 2006 -> 02:49 PM) You see, Cubs fans are calling for Dustys head for not supporting Barrett. This is the kind of quote that Dusty would have had to come up with, and that is just pathetic and sad. For once I agree with Dusty's choice in not backing up Barrett, because Rich Hill sounds like a guy who wasnt watching the game. The damn ball hit AJ in the back as he collided with Barrett. If that ball arrived one second sooner, and it could have been just a play at the plate, AJ out. Rich Hill is a moron. Not only that, but if you don't want to get hit or don't "have the ball, b****!" Why the f*** are you blocking the plate???

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 20, 2006 -> 06:22 AM) p.s. The Cubs lousy announcers did bring up a good point. We can play just one guys - Thome or Konerko - in NL parks. Hope that doesn't cost us. But they'll have to sit Henry Blanco or Nefi Perez...

QUOTE(TLAK @ May 14, 2006 -> 04:35 PM) I was in a friendly bar discussion with a guy who was busting me over how much I whined when KW made his moves over the winter. He tried to get me to say that last years group would not have the record that this year’s group is putting up. I said they would be about the same, the argument never ended, even while watching Javier give up his 7 earned runs in 5-1/3 innings. So this morning I looked up how the guys in the moves are doing. Offensively it looks like a wash, although to be fair Everett and Thomas probably wouldn’t have a combined 235 AB were they both still with the Sox. At a glance the pitching looks like an improvement but it boils down to 12 innings and 3 runs. So I stand on what I said, the team is not dramatically improved this year and in the years to come the White Sox may rue losing Chris Young, Gio Gonzalez and Danny Haigwood. But what about the people coming back to earth such as Garland and Politte. Surely the addition of Vazquez over Hernandez makes a huge difference. Although it's possible it appears as a wash, having the same team as last year doesn't necessarily translate to us being in the same position.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Mar 26, 2006 -> 03:56 PM) Why would a guy who throws 100 mph all of a sudden start heavy weightlifting? Hopefully the Sox will do a better job of monitoring him next off season. So he can throw 115 mph silly.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 18, 2006 -> 04:47 AM) yet, still first row Is it first row or row A?

"The Tigers have the misfortune of playing in baseball's toughest division " What a difference a year makes.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 08:10 PM) Anna is hot until she opens her mouth. Then, not so much. She likes to show off the cleavage though, thats for sure. Her website is frickin hilarious, she is absolutely in love with herself and her image. www.annabenson.net edit: I just went to her site. Now she is a gun advocate with a crazy letter to "Gun haters". Seriously, some people should just stick to what they do. She happens to be the wife of a baseball player, now because she has money and time on her hands(not to mention all the attention she wants) she thinks she can spout off whatever she wants. "I have many guns (strategically placed) in my home to be used in the event of a home invasion—a crime which frequently occurs in my city." Yeah, im sure their plush New York highrise has many instances of home invasion. What's wrong with owning a gun?

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) He meant game three of the first home series. It's a great idea to hold the ceremony after opening day, which is a guaranteed sell-out. Either Game 2 or Game 3 would have been ideal, since they're both mid-week afternoon games averaging 12,000. Game 2 will draw - it's the ring ceremony.
