GoodAsGould

I dont think Bobby Wade is all that good but Ill take him as a 4th WR and everything. The guys ill be really watching this year are Berrian and Gage... With Grossman Gage seemed pretty good and I like what i saw in Berrian last year.

the fact that they contended for most of the season should be a plus for them, they just need to lose the roider and add an OF and a starter in the off-season. Should have money losing Palmiero and Sosa.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 02:15 AM) New Kids on the Block made a lot of money... does mean they didn't suck. Well who cares if you suck as long as you make money right If people are going to pay keep doing what you do.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) And it should have been. That movie S-U-C-K-E-D. Acting might of sucked but coming out on Halloween and being the kind of movie it was, it sure made a helluva lot of money

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 10:10 PM) I do realize that 3 games is a small sample size, but from that sample size it was working. Jones was running, Grossman was passing and everything looked good offensively for the most part. You can blame Shea for Jonathan Quinn, but to me, there was other problems(mostly injuries) that caused the Bears to suck. The defenses we faced were Detroit, Minny, and GB right? Well last year Minny and GB both had garbage defenses and detroit wasnt much better especially since Bailey was injured.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 06:59 AM) Boy, you're really going out on a limb with this prediction. I'd say that we can win anywhere from 4 to 12. well im being realistic.... I think for sure we should be able to get 7 wins but with a basicly bran new offense i dont expect anymore than 10... The O-Line will take time to get used to each other, Benson will need some time to adjust especially the longer he holds out, Grossman needs some experiance and learn the system, the WR's need experiance other the Moose, and Desmond Clark is a s***ty TE he had that 1 season with Denver but he is crap. On defense I expect us to be awesome but the offense is going to be the difference from 7 wins to 10.

whatevr the case our O-Line is better than last years line if for nothing else Q-Mitchell isnt starting. I think 7-10 wins is what we will end up doing depending on Grossman...

Green Bay isnt as good as it was in the past and while Favre is still good he is starting to lose his touch. Im confident that we will win at least 1 game vs GB this year if not both barring major injury.

Oh I always thought that he was going to try and add a cutter. Well a 2 seam is good none the less because his 4 seam fastball is pretty straight if I remember right. But with that curve of his and his control if he indeed is using the change up again and can mix in a 2 seamer ill be very happy with him.

I was on the espn boards and than someone sent a link to the futuresox board which led me here.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) I think Ozzie will keep the call-ups tight so he doesn't lose the focus and intensity of the guys he's going into October with. I wouldn't expect many more call ups than guys who might make the final postseason roster. BMac - I think he'll supplant Adkins in long relief once AAA season is done. Willie - his speed can be a weapon in a 1-run game Anderson - Rowand and Everett could use a few days off, and Anderson could be a sub if there is an injury. Gload - possibly. I don't see Diaz, Munoz, Baj, or Borchard cutting it. Why wouldnt you see Diaz, Munoz, Baj, and Borchard cutting it.... its not like there wont be plenty of room we could call all them up and more once rosters expand. The first 3 would let us rest Hermy, Politte, Cotts, and Marte for the post-season and than Borchard well I still dont think the white sox are ready to completely give up on him.

I didnt stop thinking high of him for how bad he was to start AAA and in the majors... I mean hell the guy started last season in low A and now he was in the majors it would of been foolish to think that he would be good. I still though wouldnt of been mad if we would have traded him at the deadline for a high impact player though. That being said now that both of them havent been traded Im hoping next year Ill be able to watch the progress of Brian Anderson, B-Mac, and Jenks all together on the White Sox.

wow that would be crazy if the one dude fell off that couch.

lol no ill just drop it we arent getting anywhere.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 02:20 PM) Good job. Man, I really hope Adkins is absolutely solid out of the pen so everyone just shuts the hell up about Baj. only real memory I have of adkins is the begining of the season last year when he pitched very well vs the Yankees and everyone loved him at least for awhile.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 05:39 AM) I don't think we could go any smaller than Pluto for a planet. lol I mean come on now, being a planet is a very exclusive thing, we don't need 50 of them. Seriously though, I love having Pluto as a planet and both sides of the argument can be agreed upon. It is cool that our moon is bigger than Pluto though. Size isnt what decides if its a planet or not.

Here's hoping Greg Norton

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 02:57 AM) not for the most part either. the majority of people do not experience the drastic body changes that Palmeiro, McGwire, Sosa, and Giambi quite obviously went through I said for the most part people getting bigger.... Sosa and Giambi are helluva lot different... I dont think Palmeiro looks that bad.

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 12:07 AM) not necessarily but for the most part yes.

QUOTE(GBlum## @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 01:55 AM) Why is Varitek not a real captain? He doesnt really lead the team..... and I dont think the players really look at him as the leader like Manny or Schilling.... With Sweeney partly because of him being such a great guy and part because he is on a very young team i bet everyone in the KC clubhouse looks up to him.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 02:18 AM) Very nice outing indeed for Lance, 0 BB's, 9 K's and only 1ER. Very B-Mac like. Cant wait till next year when Valido, Broadway, and hopefully Castro all be in AA so we can get more info on them all by Bham

QUOTE(soxhawks @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 11:02 PM) ben davis=miguel olivo, same teams, same production I actually would prefer over Davis.... Olivo cant hit righties worth a damn but from what i remember he did pretty good vs lefties.

Yeah Ive heard Sweeney does a lot for the community... he is the only player that really deserves that C on their jersey... Variteck and Jeter arent real captains.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) You don't have to understand why. It's my opinion. Just like I don't understand about 95% of your posts but rather than try to I simply ignore them. Ok but I didnt even start this thread everyone was saying how bad cubs fans and than you tried to call out sox fans. And I just told you why its different. Than you call me out and say all my posts are dumb and you ignore them.... If my point is stupid please explain it to me, rather than just say its stupid and 95% of my posts arent worth reading.

Idonno but can you imagine a future white sox team that fast.... I mean right now we have a pretty fast team but the only super threat is Pods.
