Its such a good division that we can finish 5th and still win the division.... that being said even though they are 2-0 considering we had the 3rd best record overall last year we have to be favorites over them.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 08:32 PM) So it's more cost effective to go after Thome or Delgado than to re-sign Konerko? He's going to re-sign and for more than he's worth. But he's going to re-sign. He has to hear the Angels out and consider their offer, he'd be stupid not to. The only drawback to returning is Frank Thomas. Paulie doesn't like him and I think the feeling is mutual. This is news to me

QUOTE(qwerty @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 07:09 AM) Foul they called crawford for was ticky tack. Dumb on his part... but he shouldn't have been near him to foul him. He is not blocking anyone. One game is not gonna change my opinion about the nba's officiating. No doubt the officiating in the NBA is the worse... but im glad they are making an emphasis on calling travels.... they were doing it in pre-season 2 so its not like just this 1 game... Dont know what foul you are talking about considering there was no Crawford on either team but im guessing your talking about the knicks or something.... and yes they are still being babied but its improving a little it seems.

Now Qwerty you have to admit they actually called traveling this game very well.... its definitely improving..... And I know part of it was that there was no star power on either team but I didnt see any real ticky tack fouls which is a plus.

I got to say the first 3 quarters of this game were way ugly.... they were beyond ugly.... i was sick to my stomach just watching them. But man that 4th quarter was something else. I like that combo of Duhon/Gordon/Pike I think they can work really good with each other.... also songalia was clutch when it mattered. All i got to say is I way underestimated Duhon he was great today.... that being said if we play like that against any other team thats a L so Ill take the win with the understanding we have lots to work on. Whats interesting is we started owning have Kirk was out.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 09:55 PM) I totally disagree with you. It may be one injury, but it's going to be a Grant Hill type injury. One that will never go away and will plague him for the rest of the career. Well playing basketball and being a DH in baseball is a lot different though. As a DH Frank isnt doing much and he hurt his anke playing 1B against the marlins or something right...... So as long as he is strictly only the DH I think we can get 1-2 more good seasons out of him.

I think he had a good era as a starter and thats what he is being brought back 4.... idonno its not like they broke the bank on him lol

The good thing is our 2nd unit will be Gordon, Deng, Thomas, Sweetney, and Harrington..... thats awesome for your 2nd unit....

And my friends tell me I spend 2 much time on soxtalk

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 05:47 PM) If we don't resign Paulie, I'll be advocating a trade for Ryan Howard. Werent you the person saying people need to be reasonable or something like that.... Unless we grossly overpay for him no way the Phills trade Howard...

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 06:02 PM) That starting lineup is going to have a very difficult time putting the ball in the basket Yeah not a great scoring lineup although should be great defensively.... my guess is we are going to see a lot of Kirk jumpers to begin the game which really isnt a good thing in my mind.

Do you think baseball will ever do something about the gold gloves.... I heard Bobby Abreu is getting one for the NL and even the philly newspapers are raising ??'s on it. Its become such a joke and really is making baseball look bad....

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 05:59 PM) Duhon is a captain too. Ben better earn that starter role very soon. As long as he gets his minutes its ok.... I almost like Duhon starting because he sets up the offense.... while Gordon is just basicly give the ball to him and make room. Which is effective but I dont think so to start the game.

The score announced the starters being Hinrich, Duhon, Nocioni, Songalia, and Chandler.... If the starters can do their job we will dominate them with our 2nd unit with Deng, Gordon, and Sweetney.... we are 4-0 vs the Bobcats cant ruin that now

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) Didn't quote understand that "please don't post spoilers" thing, eh... I said stuff that happened in the movie but if anyone at all has seen saw 1 they knew there would be a lot of dying... and I never gave away the ending... there is a difference.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 05:18 AM) I mostly hate that a player can take four and a half to five steps before a travel violation is called. Well to be fair I think I heard they are putting more of an emphasis on the travel penalty this season... the only game i got to see was some of the dallas/phoenix and I saw it a couple times where it wouldnt of been called last season.

Yeah a course ill be watching but right now im still so excited from the White Sox to be in full NBA mode... im sure once it gets going ill get into it... Also with the Bears being good thats taking some interest off the NBA 2.... But ill be in Bulls mode faster than ever none of you worry

I forgot how much I hate the NBA refs and their whistles.....

Now that we won the WS if we have another good season next year I bet our guys will get more of a consideration.....

I loved Olivo but hey we are better because of that trade so cant complain...... Kind of the same thing with Clee and Magglio.

The thing is now that Konerko won a WS and he was part of the big reason of winning it.... dont rule out him going to a team that doesnt really have a chance but is willing to pay him big money...

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:32 AM) Felix, I actually stated that I was no longer done with this thread(Later edited). Anyway, I won't stay out as long as people keep blindly attacking me. You stinkin packers fan you know nothing about the bears how dare you put them down. You are a bandwagon sox fan and should be Banned!!!!!

All I ask is for the White Sox to give him a good offer.... if he doesnt take it thats fine thanks for helping us win the WS and good luck to you....

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:24 AM) Even on those rushers, Jamal Lewis has had a terrible year, he's got no acceleration and that O-Line has turned horrible, while Kevin Jones hasn't been himself either. I'd just like to see how they'd go against a Denver etc. Well the bears have the steelers and falcons on their schedule so i guess they are the real tests.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 03:51 AM) What are Zips Projections? Are they just computer generated stats? If so, this is another reason to hate sabermetric in baseball because after the game was meant to be played on the field not on the computer. The Sox numbers all seem ridiculous. Those stats have Frank Thomas being caugh stealing once! Impossible we all know Frank is a speed demon on the base paths
