I appreciate you guys doing PBP. Thanks.

We don't get CSN+ here. I'd appreciate any PBP that you guys can give me.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) They've rebuilt one building. And they are working on the new PATH station, and the Freedom Tower steelwork is finally starting to be visible at street level. There's been a lot of fighting over the development of that property. Living in NYC, there's definitely a bit of a reminder everywhere today. But here it's something people live with and move on. In the end, having the whole city take the day to grieve every year is a bit much. Most of the tabloid papers devoted their cover to 9/11 here. Except for the Post. Which had a little "We'll Never Forget" logo above a picture of a pig wearing lipstick. Okay. I saw a TV show on History on how they were changing safety procedures with the new buildings. I thought that there was more than the one that they showed.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 07:45 PM) My wife is due to give birth any day now and let me say... I feared our child being born on September 11th. He / She would never fully understand, but when he / she tells an adult his or her birthday, I know the FIRST thing that will enter their mind is the twin towers. My ex-gf's birthday is Sept 11. Unfortunately, or fortunately it was easy to remember.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 07:03 PM) So does it bother anyone else that there is still a gigantic empty hole sitting in the middle of New York City? I think that they've built a few buildings there.

Let's keep this topic on remembrance, not terrorism.

Did you guys ever hear Seth MacFarlane's Sept 11 story?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 06:05 PM) The politicization and exploitation of 9-11 makes me sick. I'm not here to drag politics into it; (and no one else in this thread better either ) but, the remembrance of the lost and, of the event itself, seems very muted this year.

It's now seven years since 09/11/01. Do you still hold this day as a day of remembrance, or has it become just another day in history?

10. Paul Konerko (20 of 27 lists - 286 points - highest ranking #2 MHizzle85) bio by MHizzle85 - Paul Konerko. 3-time all-star. 2004 AL Comeback Player of the Year. 2005 ALCS MVP. One of the key pieces of the World Series team. One of my favorite Sox players of all time. Back in 1999 when he came over in a trade for Mike Cameron, at the time i thought, who's Paul Konerko and why did we trade Mike Cameron? (Mike Cameron being a player that I enjoyed watching) I also had no idea of the numbers he would put up. Sure he's been struggling this season, but I'll never forget his monster 2004-2006 hitting at least 35 homers and driving in 100 during that time. I will also never forget the great postseason he had in 2005, especially the grand slam (which would be the first in White Sox world series history) in Game 2 of the World Series. Even better was him giving Jerry Reinsdorf the game clinching ball at the World Series rally and how happy I, as well as every other Sox fan I knew that he was re-signed shortly thereafter. These are many of the reasons why Paul Konerko is one of my favorite White Sox players of all time.

11. Magglio Ordonez (17 of 27 lists - 234 points - highest ranking #1 maggsmaggs) bio by maggsmaggs - “Oh-Wee-Oh, Magglio.” A common chant heard throughout Comiskey Park when “Maggs” roamed right field. He came up to the big leagues as a 23-year-old and left as a 30-year-old, but his eight seasons in a White Sox uniform were amazing. The majority of his years, he was an MVP candidate and only injuries and Scott Boras prevented him from playing with the Pale Hose longer. He and Frank Thomas made up one of the best 3-4 tandems in baseball in 2000 and he even patented his own defensive maneuver in right field. His famous butt slide with your feet under you became an Ordonez trademark. Forget his dramatic exit from the Sox and Ozzie’s bleep-filled tirade; just remember how great of an all-around player “Maggs” was. You don’t get to see a five-tool player very often, and “Maggs” was one of them.

Snakes alive!

Overbay = Sox killer

Wise doesn't kid around at the plate.

AJ is the worst baserunner since Rowand.

I'm not near a TV that gets the game. Any PBP?

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Sep 10, 2008 -> 09:43 PM) He's toast, now. Thrown out again? He's the goofiest baserunner.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Sep 10, 2008 -> 06:48 PM) This is very true. We went from a team with basically zero young talent to actually having some good young players (CQ, Alexei, Danks, Floyd). Though in comparison to teams like the Twins and Rays we are still generally an old team. The Rays had to suck for years to get their guys. Are you willing to lose 100 games, 5 years in a row? I'm not. The Twins' guys are overachievers. I don't think that they are as young as you think that they are.

12. Jermaine Dye (17 of 27 lists - 231 points - highest ranking #1 whitesoxbrian) bio by whitesoxbrian - When we picked JD up in 2005, I thought to myself "what are we doing here?". Shortly there-after, I knew why. He was the right guy for what we were trying to do. We needed a little pop in the middle of the lineup, and Jermaine gave that to us with his 31 HR that year. When we got to the playoffs, Dye was a huge factor. He drove in the 1st and last runs in the World Series that year, and also hit .430+ in that Series. In 2006, Dye had a huge start and got me thinking about possibly the triple crown. He came up short (way short) of that, but he still managed to make the All-Star team and hit .315. Jermaine was/is not only was a clutch hitter, but he made, and still makes, nice plays out in RF. A quiet leader but a clutch player is how I will sum up Jermaine in 20 years from now. He's always been a fan favorite in Chicago, and rightly so. Another ring, and his number may be on the left-center wall in a decade or two.

13. Aaron Rowand (17 of 27 lists - 208 points - highest ranking #6 BurlyMan56) bio by wikipedia and knightni - In 1998 Aaron Rowand was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the first round (35th pick) of the 1998 amateur draft. Rowand made his major league debut for the Chicago White Sox on June 16, 2001 as a pinch hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals. He finished his rookie season fourth among American League rookies in batting average at .293. He collected his first major league hit on June 19, 2001 against Kansas City Royals' pitcher Tony Cogan. Rowand suffered a broken left shoulder blade and rib in a dirt bike accident in the 2002 off season and spent part of spring training recovering. In 2003, Rowand was sent down to the minor leagues after hitting .133 in his first 60 games, but after spending 32 games in the minors, he returned to hit the Major Leagues, hitting .387 after his return. In 2004, Aaron led the American League in home runs for a center fielder with 24. 2004 was his first season with close to 500 at bats and Rowand established himself as a regular starter for the first time in his career. Rowand showed patience at the plate and posted his second highest career on base percentage at .361. In 2005 with the White Sox, he had a .270 batting average with 77 runs and 30 doubles. He also hit 13 home runs and stole 16 bases. He has a low amount of patience, as walked 32 times compared to 116 strikeouts. He had only a .329 on base percentage (OBP) and a .407 slugging percentage (SLG). He also collected 235 total bases. In 2005 at center field, he collected 388 putouts and had only three errors. He had a .978 fielding percentage. The 2005 Chicago White Sox went on to win the World Series. Aaron was noted by manager Ozzie Guillén as a clubhouse leader and an example of the hustle play expected from the team. Aaron captured the hearts of White Sox fans with his all-out play and total commitment to the winning. In the postseason, he had a .267 batting average with 8 runs and 6 doubles. He also walked 4 times and had 1 stolen base. On November 23, 2005, Rowand was traded by the White Sox along with minor league pitchers Gio Gonzalez and Daniel Haigwood to the Philadelphia Phillies for first baseman Jim Thome and approximately $22 million. White Sox fans still discuss whether or not this was a good trade, as Rowand, a hard-nosed team-first player, was immensely popular in Chicago. This is evident as he clearly received the loudest, longest ovation at the World Series ring ceremony, despite the fact that he was no longer with the team. . . . Balls To The Wall - 110% - Clutch - A Real "Go-Getter" Complaints to Sox management were heard all through 2006 after Rowand was dealt to Philadelphia for Jim Thome and the Sox finished in second place. He was a true Grinder. The Legend will live forever.

Anderson LF platoon with Wise probably. Swisher 1B.
