QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) s***, I might as well quit FutureSox now after seeing the plethora of White Sox minor league experts here. I'm surprised that you guys know so much about these players considering you've never seen them. Damn you guys are good. Oh, I'm calling Kris Honel tomorrow to schedule an interview with him, can you guys tell me if he is good or bad? Thanks, I'm indebted to every one of you who knows more than me by being an armchair scout. They're paying you?

QUOTE(kman @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 06:23 PM) heck yes gimme a heck yes! I hear that the Kool-Aid is a fine vintage this year.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 01:42 PM) then nails together a package of something like chris young, tracey, for lilly YUK! Just say no to that one. By the way, the Fantasy Baseball trading deadline is August 1 this year.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) I think they would both still be here right? Even if the Sox take on Lowell I haven't heard Crede's going. Also, I would add to Mike Lowell's column World Series Champion. Not a bad bench insurance policy IMO. He didn't do much to get his ring if I recall. He was injured most of the season.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 11:55 AM) If we're going to get Kline or Embree, I'll be pissed. We HAD Embree.. He sucked for us.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 06:53 PM) Old man poo. ^^^^^^ Old man poos.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 12:30 PM) This is probably the biggest pipe dream ever.... I dunno... your signature is pretty close to the top in a pipe dream sense.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 01:11 AM) Temp's in the 110's in Phoenix were bad enough let me tell you. This is more humid than Arizona Arizona is:

My thoughts... Send Jenks and Sweeney to ATL for Furcal. Send Vizcaino, Owens, Tracey and Crede to TOR for Batista and Hillenbrand. Bench Uribe. Batista can be a #5 starter/long reliever or closer. Furcal is an improvement at SS over Uribe. Hillenbrand is a decent replacement for Crede.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) Last year was a lot of fun, although most people would forget to post their picks for a particular week, and therefore were pretty much eliminated. It was basically a 5 man race between myself, knightni, danman, greasy, and cali. I was in the top 2 or 3 , then the contest died a slow death. Who is running it this year?

There was an NC-17 one on http://www.Kontraband.com of a dude getting naked and tazering his nutsack. They synched it to James Brown screaming "I Feel Good" and moved the pic back and forth, slowed it down, got closeup of the electricity zapping him sterile. Pretty damn hilarious. Edit: It gawn now.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 10:32 PM) Apparently, Bruce Boche(sp?) is having dinner with Nevin to convince him to leave. They're going to bench him if he doesn't leave in favor of Xavier Nady I think it was. SD will take Konerko because they will look at his HR numbers. Trust me, they'd take PK for Lawrence. I can't see them dealing Lawrence. Eaton is out for awhile with his finger injury and SD is competing for the NL West division. They can't get rid of an important SP without a SP in return.

San Diego will not want Konerko. They won't be able to trade Nevin.

Maybe they'll have the Sunday lineup tomorrow. Pods - CF Ozuna - 3b Iguchi - 2b Konerko -DH Everett - RF Gload - LF Perez - 1b Widger - C Harris - SS I wonder how many errors we could get out of that one.

Ugh. I fail to see how that improves the Sox.

Another in the "L" column for Sox N Roll.

I'd replace Viz with Miguel Batista, then we have the best in the majors.

QUOTE(Balance @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 06:45 PM) If it were up to me, we wouldn't have to play a team from the AL West at all in the playoffs! But that's just me. The Sox finish with the best record, we play the lowest record team not in our division. The odds of us facing an AL East team are slim.

I watch them when they are on TV, but mostly all I can do is listen to ESPN 1000. I don't have Comcast or WCIU.

I'd take a flyer on Burroughs as a backup for next year. Teach him 1b and he can play 1b/3b and come off the bench. He will hit for better average again. The power?.. I dunno. Ensberg finally found his stroke.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) ribbierubarb! nice post! the only question mark i have in the whitesox organization is 1. darren jackson & 2. john rooney. Darren doesn't really strike me as a true WhiteSox guy & Rooney just starts screaming sometimes....other than that....this team is the absolute bomb! You can bust on DJ all you like... :uhoh But Rooney is one of the best radio guys in professional sports. Just ask Westwood One and ESPN in the offseason.

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 01:48 PM) Good point but he does have a strong arm. Cora has been great, better than Kim thats for sure. Yup. Joey's no Wendell Kim, that's for sure.

I'd like the A's to get it so that the Sox can get revenge for this season in the 1st round of the playoffs.
