go with 2k7 - i like the concept of makin the sox earn it again... since you kept the 2k5 last year the team lost its hunger. ITS ALL YOUR FAULT DAMNIT!

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Dec 24, 2006 -> 02:43 PM) i think everyone here is drinking too much eggnog. i hope i'm wrong, but this team has 3rd or 4th place written all over it. the only reason this might be true is because we're in the toughest division in baseball - in any other division i'd still rank us as the favorite to win it... we'll win over 90 games next year

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 06:31 PM) Question for folks in the know: Do either Danks or Masset immediately go onto the White Sox 40 man roster? Just wondering if this opens up a slot for a FA signing or not. masset is on the 40, danks is not.

QUOTE(soxwon @ Dec 19, 2006 -> 07:19 PM) Kenny Williams has announced that the U.S. military has contacted him inquiring about purchasing the SOX loaded Guns the Floyd-Gonzalez-Aardsma-Sisco misiles. Reportedly they heard, they fly UNDER THE RADAR WHITE SOX WMD'S AIMING AT A BALLPARK NEAR YOU.... i have yet to figure out if this was sarcastic or not...

love this deal, love the sico deal - alright so this off-season is starting to shape up. lets keep em coming KW!

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Dec 15, 2006 -> 09:13 PM) They're asking a ton for a young player who has a great bat, good defense, and a great contract. That's not too damn much, that's getting a full return on your product. and severe health questions...

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 6, 2006 -> 11:53 PM) I'm not sure this trade helps us in the future either. Unless they are flipped for a real valuable piece this trade is just terrible. well gio could help in the future for sure... but now it makes the thome trade look really bad... Rowand, Garcia and Haigwood for Thome and Floyd???? ......

i'm severely hating this deal... what the f*** is the point???

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 22, 2006 -> 05:23 PM) Exactly, you have remember Kenny Williams generally goes after high character guys and will not hesitate to get rid of a troublemaker. Freel has some serious issues mainly having to do with booze and mental problems making him seemingly off limits to the Sox. Cincinnati on the otherhand does not seem to mind his insanity/legal problems so there's really no reason for them to trade away a very good, youngish, cheap player. *cough* Bobby Jenks *cough*

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Nov 20, 2006 -> 02:10 AM) This is what I'm saying...If KW trades Sweeney for Neifi Perez and Sweeney does not pan out in the future, that doesn't make it a good trade because KW could have gotten more than Neifi Perez for Sweeney. you think we couldve gotten more for reed and olivo?

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Nov 19, 2006 -> 07:37 PM) It's not necessarily how the players KW traded turned out, it's their value at the time of the trade. The Freddy trade was considered overpaying at the time. Good for us it turned out in our favor. Vazquez trade is questionable. Contreras was a steal. um but isnt how they turn out the ONLY thing that matters???

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 16, 2006 -> 07:23 PM) He was a mess when we acquired him though. We did a great job at sticking him in AA B-Ham as a closer, getting him to work on his control to help him become the pitcher he is today. ok true, i thought you were talking about home grown talent

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 16, 2006 -> 07:15 PM) Well we've had players like Crede, Garland, Jenks etc. come through and become important parts of our ballclub. And don't forget at this time last season, our system was quite good with the likes of Gio Gonzalez and Chris Young in there. well we got jenks from the angels... but otherwise i agree with you

QUOTE(MEANS @ Nov 16, 2006 -> 02:11 PM) i'm pretty sure zune will not work with iTunes. i dont think so either... but i think i'm going to get a zune since my ipod broke... if it lasts more than the year my ipod did it'll be worth it

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Nov 16, 2006 -> 02:45 PM) Neal Cotts 2003 only 13 innings 8 ERA 2004 65 innings 5.65 ERA 2005 60 innings 1.94 ERA 2006 54 innings 5.17 ERA He also did a Mike Jackson impersonation and gave up everyone elses runs also. Now people what looks like the fluke, the year he had in 06, or maybe just maybe the magical 05 season. Neal is a deception guy who had one year were he could throw strikes and had pinpoint control. But if you look at his history in the majors, and in the minors this was a guy who couldnt throw strikes. So what do you think happens to one pitch pitchers, who cant locate and get into hitters counts all the time. Did you really want Cotts doing something similiar to his career averages on the Southside next year. I mean do I think we might have been able to get something else, maybe. But lets take a look at the FA market where a crappy player like Juan Pierre is going to get 3/30, or a LOOGY might get a few million a year and a guarenteed 3 year deal. If you can pick up another live arm out of the pen. It really plays into shortening up the game. With our homer based stadium we need two types of pitchers, either sinkerballers or strikeout guys, especially late in games. So another hard thrower, who can make a mistake and miss a bat instead of a guy lobbing up a 90 mph fastball on 3-1 which will be hitting some poor fan in the head. Thornton couldnt throw strikes at all before he came here. Jenks couldnt hit the side of a barn before he got here also. Doesnt AArdsma sound like a few other guys we have picked up. The hard throwing projects. consider me officially convinced.

this just seems all weird to me... KW's gotta have a reason for doing this...

QUOTE(Rooftop Shots @ Nov 13, 2006 -> 12:35 AM) I don't post very often, mainly because most of my previous replies were usually negative, and I'm sure I'll get a lot of hate replies on this one as well, but that's OK. You can hate me for disagreeing with me, but at the same time respect me for standing up in what I believe in. The one issue I have is that The Constitution was based on Biblical principles and put together by men that were Christian and were solely convicted that what they were putting together was baseed on the laws of this nation being guided by their biblical and Christian principles that they saw fit to be upheld. The men that put the Constitution together did not use The Koran as their means of guidance and conviction when putting our nations document together, therefore............, if you take your office by ways of an oath by the Koran, and you decide to go against anything that is in the Constitution,............. would you be not held guilty of breaking the law since the oath that you took was one that was from a source other than what the Constitution was based on in the first place? The Bible is what our founding leaders were convicted of and guided by, therefore if someone is going to take office, he/she better agree with it. If not, don't run! Agree or disagree with me! Whichever you choose! But my beef is, that once again, someone is trying to devalue and push out something that our country's rights, laws, and documents are based upon, and that I believe that God would like to see our country run..............on Judeo-Christian values and principles. The ACLU is always on the attack of it as well as other organizations. My OPINION.......If you want to be someone with a voice that help to govern laws in a state in our country, then you' better comply with what our founding fathers based it upon......and take an oath to it that shows your allegiance and respect to it. If you can't do that..............THEN EITHER DON"T RUN FOR OFFICE OR MOVE TO A COUNTRY WHERE YOUR FATHERS MADE THERE LAWS BASED UPON THEIR CONVICTIONS! THIS IS AMERICA! GOD'S COUNTRY! GOD'S HOLY WORD IS THE BIBLE! Simply stated..........RESPECT IT and ABIDE BY IT! OUR COUNTRY IS FOUNDED AND GUIDED BY IT. IF you cannot do that........and you are against , and you want to do whatever is in your power to devalue it........................THEN LEAVE! theres one huge flaw in your argument... the founding fathers were not mostly christian but Deists... guess your post was pointless...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 11, 2006 -> 11:40 AM) You know you are completely right... there's this group of evil manipulative leaders who try to control everything and decide how people should live their lives... you might have heard of them... OPEC? but come on now, the democrats won, of COURSE the gas prices are going to go up - its GW w/ his cronies making it look like the world will go to s*** now that the dems have won... sore losers i say

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 8, 2006 -> 07:37 PM) I don't know if this was mentioned...but his last name is Loebsack.... as bad as that is... he beat a guy named LEACH... not exactly the best name for a politician... especially if leeching is what you do best

i'm fine with the colors - whatever - but the DBACKS thing... makes them look severely Minor League... using a slang name on your Jersey? just not a big fan personally...

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 8, 2006 -> 09:12 PM) McCain would be very difficult to beat in the general, but easier in the GOP primary. I would be very excited about a McCain - (Conservative Dem) Independent bid. I'd be door to door for that one. people always talk about that but believe me it will NEVER happen...

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 9, 2006 -> 12:42 PM) He is a successful governor, in the straw poll state, who is a moderate. That is three big pluses right there. I don't think he'll win the nomination, but I'd say he has a shot at VP. VP maybe... but i think edwards still has to be the favorite at this point for the pres. nomination. and i'm not sure if obama would do it, but an Edwards Obama ticket would be near unbeatable

wow vilsak's a moron... i mean yeah he was my governor but... he seriously thinks he'll beat edwards/obama/clinton? the only thing this will do will make it much harder for one of those 3 above to take iowa in the primaries... f***in s*** up...

screw joe lieberman. all this s*** w/ montana and virginia wouldnt matter if he hadnt friggin run

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Nov 8, 2006 -> 03:22 AM) Webb is up by 12K votes. McCaskill won. Talent up by 4 points! Balance of power shifted! In my county, we elected our first Dem county commissioner in 20 years! This is a great night to be a democrat! by talent you mean tester of course!
