I still like Getz... I wouldnt mind if the organization had him repeat double A or go to triple A I think he will/could suceed in both environments next year.

this is the 2nd time in a row it seems when a Cotts/Riske combo has blown up. Riske is apposed to be our last guy out of the pen and for being that he has been pretty damn good so not 2 mad about that but Cotts frustates me. If it stays this way in Sept. I wouldnt be against keeping him off the playoff roster.

Right now it seems Boston will be down at least one of Manny/Ortiz and maybe not have both for our upcoming series vs them. If thats the case they are not a very scary team at all. With only 1 of them playing you can pitch around him and if neither they are a pretty horrific team.

Right now im young(20) and I dont exercise and eat as much as I want and it has worked out for me. Im about 6'4 and weigh around 190ish. But if I ever begin to get fat... I think or at least I hope id make the neccesary changes in my life whether it be dieting or exercise or both to slim back down.

Like everyone has said It should be between Jeter and depending on who gets that playoff spot either us or the twins. Morneau and Dye both deserve it way more than Jeter but Jeter has had a very good year and being on the yankees might put it over the top.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 06:24 AM) That's a lot of money to shell out for a pitcher, even a good one like Oswalt. This could set the market for the next few years, which is bad news for owners. Roy is better than most of the pitchers that will hit the market though. He had three 20 game winning seasons in a row right? Not 2 mention he has some of the filthiest stuff out there. I dont think it will affect the market 2 much since he would have been so much better than any other SP in f/a anyways.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 06:40 AM) Im pretty sure I saw dog on a menu in a chinese restaurant. I recently went to China and didnt see dog on any of the menus.... Not to say they dont serve it but for the 2 weeks I was there I never saw it once.

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) Our system sucks, and Egbert doesn't make the top 20? Reasons?? Read up 2-3 posts

Im assuming Phillips is Heath Phillips...If so, I think you guys way overated him on that list. I know our prospects arent the greatest but even so id have him at 18-20.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 05:53 AM) With 4 teams ahead of them, 3 games may as well be 8 games back. You are forgetting that this is the NL we are talking about.... 3 games and only 2 in the loss column is not much.

I think they can pass San Fran and San Diego... the Phillies and Reds might be tough.

QUOTE(shoota @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 01:16 AM) And the team's ERA is higher because OZZIE decided not to let McCarthy start. No the organization decided not to let McCarthy start.... If you want to blame someoen for that look at KW.

QUOTE(Wealz @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 12:33 AM) Guillen's handling of Anderson, choosing which pitchers he faces, is a big reason why he has blossomed. Sure, it sucks to have Mackowiak in center at times, but that's the price you pay to make sure Anderson develops properly. You could blame Williams for not furnishing Guillen with a better alternative than Mackowiak in center. I can understand Anderson not being hitting against some of the tougher right handed SP but besides that he should be out there everyday. And even than if it was me id personally still play Anderson unless he was due for an off day.

If Manny isnt playing I dont consider Boston anymore of a threat than the Devil Rays or KC.

Werent you guys planning on getting that list out a long time ago?

We have Tampa and KC coming up next.... if we dont go 5-1 we might have a problem... Id like to see this team start to make a run though and there are no 2 better teams to do it against.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 06:28 AM) They did one, but it's only for members. Here is the top 5- 1. Stephen Drew 2. Delmon Young 3. Brandon Wood 4. Justin Upton 5. Alex Gordon Can you or anyone that is a member tell me where the whitesox prospects rank in it and where John Danks ranks in the Rangers organization.

boooh

good thing is we wasted a lot of the twins bullpen and guerrier threw 3 innings yesterday

we just have to win this game now.... it would be a crying shame if we lost

you people need to relax... we are down 1 run with our offense and how we have done vs closers this season we definitely have a chance.

Doesnt BA or something do an updated list at around the mid-season point of the year? I remember seeing the one at the begining of the season but not seeing one since than. Did they make an updated list and if so can someone either post it or give a link.

QUOTE(KFran @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 06:49 PM) Punto worked with Harmon before the season. This is the PUNTO that will be here, he is on earth! Barlett got a kick in the butt when he was sent down to the minors, he is for real.... Tyner continues to amaze me, and he has got a heck of an arm. Just ask your guy sliding into home as he is being tagged! We like it when the media doesn't give us credit. When every one is against us, we do well! Go TWINS! Tyner may suck but he threw out one of YOUR boys sliding into home. How do you like them apples? People say stuff like that when they are worried. Are you worried? Punto is crap... next season he will suck.. I kind of like Bartlett but think he will hit for a little lower avg. next season as well. I think Tyner is a great 4th OF but thats what he is.

Id rather DL Cotts give him some time off and also in essence make both of them available for the playoffs so in Sept. whoever outperforms one another we can take and leave the other one home.

Ive had my fair share of bad things to say of Walker in years past but how can you be mad at him this season. We are the number 1 offense or number 2 regardless we are one of the top offenses in the game... We didnt lose this game because of our offense anyways we lost it with the bullpen.
