QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) Nomar=FA Walker=butcher defensively. Their team is so terrible. I dont even know where to begin. Some of the worst fundamentals I have seen since, well, the sox in 2003. Todd Walker is far from a butcher..... he just isnt anything special.... id say maybe a little bit below avg. but not butcher level.... and the point was their middle infield last season and in that case Nomar wasnt a f/a and we dont know who their new SS will be.

I still think our defense is greater than the colts.... one of the main reasons they havent given up so many points is their offense can dominate so the defense doesnt have to be on the field all game.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 02:48 AM) Who is the pitcher in your sig? Ryan Sweeney

Yes Frank is a big man and he puts a lot of pressure on his ankle..... and if he played 1B it could be a problem but the man is the DH he should be able to get at least 450 bats next season.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 02:08 AM) A "healthy Frank" no longer exists. Your point about possibly screwing up team chemistry is well taken, though. If all works out Frank will be 100% going into next year..... he was a ? this season anyways and everyone knew that.... now he should be ready to go for spring training.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 12:03 AM) Kruk said crede is a superstar in the making... i tend to agree. Sure everything else says during the season is retarded and Kruk is an idiot... but when he says something positive about us a course he is right? Im not sure if you were one of the people always on Kruk's case Qwerty just most people were...

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 10:45 PM) You would know... :rolly Dont worry im looking into other prospects I like to put in my sig.... but im leaving Pie in my avatar since he doesnt have the cubs jersey on

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 01:00 AM) I want Ben starting. He hasnt showed he is able to start yet.... And I think if Duhon is ready Ben will be coming off the bench again.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 12:30 AM) Well. the question is whether Rowand is a .900 OPS hitter like in 2005. It's not far to say that he'll only ever be a .900 OPS guy. The question the Sox face is much more dynamic than Rowand vs. Anderson. There's Chris Young coming up faster than most expected. Truth be told, I think he's the best of the bunch. He's a .290/.390/.520 guy, I think. And where does Sweeney play when his power catches up with his swing. Mind you, that does not even take into account the man that was the origina subject of this thread. These are all good problems to have. Your right about Young being the best prospect of the bunch with the highest ceiling.... but he still has to do a season of AAA at least b4 we need to worry about finding a spot for him.... and if the sox plan to use Anderson ever the best time is next season....Imagine in 2007 we could have 2 OF prospects ready for the majors and possibly a third in Owens....You really want to rely on a bunch of rookies in 2007 or break them in 1 at a time.

Bump to just make sure you see it

Exactly people say Saw is so great because of the endings.... well in both cases the endings really sucked considering its just random out of the blue.... Ill admit in the 2nd they at least gave you a clue for 1/2 of the ending if you paid attention. But the thing in number 2 is the characters never had a chance. One guy dies right away when they have no clue whats going on. Than the tape they find in the basement is totally bogus because the guy followed what he was supposed to and got screwed. Than the 2nd tape was complete bogus since there was only a minute timer and than 2 of the characters dont even get a chance.... I always thought the whole point was for the person to learn to value their life. How are they learned to value their life when they never get a chance too... the whole plot contradicts everything its apposed to.

I thought in soxtalk they ban your ip address or whatevr so people cant make multiple accounts and sneak back in?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 09:41 PM) It looked like it just snapped out of nowhere. Methinks he isnt long for the NFL, that wasnt a bad step, nor a bad hit. He isnt long for the NFL????? what does that mean. Anyways any chance we bring back Conway, Terrell, or Dwayne Bates lol..... Also I think Kelly Campbell is a f/a.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) Where is this? I saw him say "my bad" for the .100 point OPS differential, yet Zoom still didn't say that the Sox should go after Johnny Damon, nor that Brian Anderson was a bad prospect. Not ANYWHERE. So, no, SF101, he didn't correct himself, and I think we can have intelligent baseball discussion without all the name-calling. And, I'd hope I wouldn't need to point out all of those to you... :rolly I quoted the wrong person my bad ...... i didnt do any name calling to Zoom even though I disagree w/ everything he says.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 10:29 PM) :headshake :headshake Zoom never said any of this... B4 you try to correct someone maybe you should read the whole thread and see he corrected himself.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 10:21 PM) I think Pie is their best bet instead of Patterson. i would unload patterson if I was them. I dont see the cubs getting any of the top FA's, just based on some of their track records. Pie is not ready to be in the majors yet if he is their starting CF they are going to be making the same mistake with him as they did with Corey Patterson.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 03:59 PM) I just dont get where this confidence is coming from. I mean, you have an overrated pitching rotation where a grandpa was your best pitcher this year. Your OF is one of the worst hitting, worst fielding I have ever seen. You middle IF is probably one of the worst in the game. Your catcher is known for calling a terrible game. Your bullpen is filled with has beens and never will bes, and your freakin closer is Ryan Dempster? A pretty average pitcher as a whole. I mean, except for maybe 1B and 3B, every player on the sox is better at their position. Any one of our bullpen arms would be the close on the cubs staff. Who is their fifth starter? Glendon Rusch? Pear shaped body, no arm. That team is so bad on paper, how can anyone be confident about winning. Especially when they look even worse on the field. Bad coaching, horrible fundamentals. If you consider it being Neifi Perez and Todd Walker you would be right.... but it started off being Nomar and Walker.... which is pretty good... both good offensive players neither are really that good defensively but not horrible.

Zoom no offense.... even though Randar can be a jackass sometimes he is one of the most knowledgable people when it comes to the minors for the White Sox and Rowand was really lousy this season..... For people that have actually seen Anderson they know he is a better defensive CF too....

QUOTE(gettysburg32 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 03:40 AM) What about Eric Chavez? Everyone knows he's a better defensive player than anyone in the league. Nope nope now its A-Rod even though Id say he is average at best at 3B... :puke

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 02:24 AM) 3eb in the april video, it really shows how far this team has come. remember in april the game dye/konerko hit back to back homers - look @ the fans, there unexistent. now look in the playoffs, and u cant see a seat that isnt filled. To be fair that game was very cold outside and a course you are going to sell out in the playoffs if your not the Braves.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 04:39 AM) who do we play opening day? Who will be the starting pitcher? Where's the game thread? just kidding, except for the "who do we play" question. the tribe I think.

We should bring back Herbert Perry just for the sake of having the milkman back.... He was the man... last I saw him was as a ranger.

Although the acting was better in the 2nd one it was a worse movie. First of all the point of screwing all the people is to give them a chance to escape although it might be costly.... Well 2 people died w/out having a chance at all... and i guess if you count the one at the begining it was 3. Also they way the cops dealt with it was complete bulls*** they would never deal with it that way...If a cop has someone in his family involved he would be taken off the case immediately and the guy would of been taken into custody right away. Finally I somewhat enjoyed the movie even with its flaws but the ending just totally killed it for me.... that was beyond retarded.

Yeah if it doesnt involve Boston I dont care what Gammons says because he doesnt know anything.... also we all know KW and he wont tell anyone what he will do....

Can anyone give me a quick recap of the Bears game... Like how did Bradley get hurt and what were you all mad at RW for... also is TJ ok or is it finally Benson time? I hate work ever more now missing one helluva game stupid Michaels...
