We are 10-0 with this line-up: 1. Scott Podsednik, LF 2. Tadahito Iguchi, 2B 3. Jim Thome, DH 4. Paul Konerko, 1B 5. Jermaine Dye, RF 6. AJ Pierzynski, C 7. Joe Crede, 3B 8. Juan Uribe, SS 9. Brian Anderson, CF In those 10 games, we have outscored the opposition by 50 runs (72-22). 10-4 (At Cleveland) 3-1 (At Kansas City) 4-3 (At Detroit) 9-0 (Kansas City) 7-1 (Minnesota) 7-3 (Minnesota) 13-3 (At Seattle) 8-5 (At Anaheim) 2-1 (At Anaheim) 9-1 (Anaheim) It's a beautiful thing.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 10, 2006 -> 07:42 PM) Sox have not lost with that line-up once this season... Yep. They're 10-0 with that lineup.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ May 10, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) Yeah and those songs are so musically dissimilar. My eyes hurt. Try to use a darker shade of green, y'all.

Haeger, Fields, and a couple of A Ball pitching prospects for Miguel Cabrera, Miguel Olivo, and all other Miguels in the Florida Marlins organization

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ May 10, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) The reason they put a heavy weight on wins in their formula is because the voters do the same. Anyone who knows anything about baseball knows that that's a stupid way to do things, but it's still the way they do it. Right, which is the ultimate point here: f*** a Cy Young Award

In 2004, Ben Sheets had the 5th best Strikeout-To-Walk ratio in major league history. 1. Curt Schilling 313 to 33 (2002) 2. Pedro Martinez 284 to 32 (2000) 3. Greg Maddux 177 to 20 (1997) 4. Pedro Martinez 313 to 37 (1999) 5. Ben Sheets 264 to 32 (2004) How many games did Ben Sheets win that year? 12. How well would he have done in that retarded Cy Young predictor system? Not too well. Wins are a team statistic, and meanwhile, these ESPN nerds think that they're the most important pitching statistic. Good God. I will always point to Ben Sheets as Exhibit A, and Randy Johnson to a lesser extent (16-14 in 2004 w/ the 9th best K-to-BB ratio in MLB history) By the way, Walter Johnson's best Strikeout-To-Walk ratio was 243 to 38, back in 1913. I know it's crazy that the top 5 are all from between 1997 and 2004, but that is for real.

Couldn't they just say that some anonymous dude(s) sent them a large package containing the top secret steroid info, with no return address? You know, Shawshank Redemption style?

QUOTE(beautox @ May 10, 2006 -> 04:53 PM) and the "chemistry" is there.

Valverde and Turnbow straight up own Baez and his .292 BAA. This Cy Young predictor is trash. Maybe I'll print out a hard copy and wipe my ass with it.

Gustavo Chacin? Against AL East teams, his ERA is over 5.00 with a 1.60 WHIP. He's really giving his team an opportunity to make some noise within their own division. His overall numbers are average at best (4.50 ERA, 1.36 WHIP). But he has 5 wins, a team statistic, and therefore, he is a Top 10 contender for the Cy Young award through May 10. God, wins for an SP are so unbelievably overrated.... At least Aaron Harang is Top 5 in the majors in strikeouts right now, or otherwise, I'd be talking s*** about him too.

Cubs lose! Cubs lose! :sleep

I posted this nugget not too long ago:

2. Iguchi .325 3. Thome .321 4. Konerko .331 5. Dye .325 6. Pierzynski .323 7. Crede .330 I'd imagine that this makes for some friendly competition in the clubhouse. Considering that not one Sox hitter finished at or above .300 on the 2005 squad, this is truly remarkable. Bow the f*** down already.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ May 10, 2006 -> 03:50 AM) 22-5 in the last 27! Word! That will be the best 27 game stretch for any MLB team when all is said and done. Call me nostradumbass -- I think that it suits me well.

Well, the guy sure presented his "inside info" in true knucklehead fashion. I was here when the rumor was first posted, and I stuck around as the first 7 or 8 pages developed. You can't blame anybody for flaming the dude, especially if we're talking about top-notch posters like Kalapse and Addy. This posting s*** is all instinct. There is no time to think.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ May 9, 2006 -> 12:40 AM) Ill still take Pudge, V-Mart, Mauer, Hernandez, and arguably Molina over Pieryznski. Prob a few others too but those are the one's that come to mind. Yeah? Is it mostly based on their offensive numbers? Because that's pretty much the last thing that I look at if we're talking about catchers. Victor Martinez would rank #1 in fantasy leagues, but in reality, he's a lousy catcher. I mean, Pierzynski f***ing owns him if we're talking straight up C-slot. You name the intangible, and it's all AJ. Now, if you put them both at 1B (where Victor should be playing), then it's not even close. He blows AJ out of the f***ing water.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ May 8, 2006 -> 10:45 PM) That they're not the only team in town to have crippling pitching injuries all the time. We have crippling pitching injuries all the time? Who knew.

Nuke said that we should merge everything into one giant all-encompassing Cubs thread. I thought that it was a good idea. That way, we can have endless conversations about how much of a suckfest that organization is, all at one location. There are so many things to discuss...

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 8, 2006 -> 07:24 PM) makes me feel so much better about myself Yep, me too. I feel like such a stroke whenever I'm watching that piece of s*** network, especially during football season. Hey, isn't it time to get Crede in that signature? What about Pierzynski, who is arguably Top 3 in the MLB out of the C slot, all intangible aspects of his game considered?

WE NEED A GOD DAMN MOTHERf***ING LINK!

QUOTE(Wanne @ May 8, 2006 -> 07:47 PM) Was this a result of hangin' with ARow and AJ all last year? Joe was so alone before, and then he finally found himself some friends, and now, he is performing at the plate. Hmmm.... Interesting theory.

QUOTE(shoota @ May 8, 2006 -> 02:51 AM) I prefer the smaller, more loyal crowds. I prefer being able to get tickets day-of-game and not having to deal with fans unworthy of Sox fandom. QUOTE(Milkman Delivers @ May 8, 2006 -> 02:59 AM) And I enjoy a big payroll. Good answer.

QUOTE(Brian @ May 7, 2006 -> 05:54 PM) ANyone see Brantley last night on the 9pm CST BBTN? He looked and talked like he was high and/or drunk. And no, that is not how he usually sounds in tone. Wow, drunk on the job? What a tool.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 7, 2006 -> 07:34 PM) You guys, don't question mods or anyone who knows mods. We all know how that ends. The mods got my back.
