Tony Pena is too good to be wasted as a long man, wsox need to drop Randy already and call up Torres.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 12:39 AM) Interesting; So if he signs with a new team he wants them to lose a valuable player or two first?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 05:24 PM) Not sure what you mean about Konerko and Teahen being really bad, but Gilmore certainly is terrible at 3rd. He means Teahen is a below avg. fielder which is true and Konerko has little to no range even if he is great at picking balls in the dirt.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 03:05 AM) Rather than typing out ''lol'' you could have just answered him. Im sorry but his question was fairly obvious if you watched the film and rather than comment on my post you could have answered him yourself if you cared that much

QUOTE (qwerty @ Apr 17, 2010 -> 04:07 PM) All will depends on productivity at that point. Couldn't even give you the slightest bit of an answer as it's just too early. Hopefully jones will warrant the playing time, as he has the ability to help this team much more than pierre. Id imagine by the time the trade happens it will be earliest June so if Jones keeps hitting like he is now no way Pierre plays over him. My best guess is Rios would be the leadoff guy, Berkman 3rd.

I can handle the Bulls being outplayed, but the fact that they were being outhustled made me unable to watch the rest of this first game. Now just pissed off.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 09:48 PM) Law Abiding Citizen Umm you definitely missed something, not sure how you missed it either lol.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 10:12 PM) ESPN just said that the Cavs won 2 of the 3 games against the Bulls. Didn't they play 4 times? They were probably counting games Lebron played.

Why Ozzie is using Thornton in a game the Wsox are trailing 6-2 is beyond me.... but maybe he knows something about our offense this upcoming inning I dont.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 04:57 PM) Cavs in 5. Thinking back to last year, that playoffs series was so huge to the growth of both Joakim and Derrick. Hopefully we can have the same sort of step forward from Taj and JJ. That is what matters to me in this series... we need to look like we are on the verge. I doubt JJ gets more than a couple minutes a game if that, which is a shame because I think Vinny underates his talent and what he can do on the court.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 06:33 PM) Soxtalk was in shambles when Jeremy Reed and Miguel Olivo were traded for Freddie Garcia. I think most people liked the trade, but just a lot of us had an attachment to Olivo was hard to see him go.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 06:31 PM) The roof is open not sure if that might have something to do with it. Yeah it looked gone to me off the bat as well..... but just another sad inning

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 12:41 AM) That's the case most of the time. But the difference between KD this year and last is really night and day. I think your nuts, I do think Durant is awesome but I dont see him contending for the MIP award at all.

Matt Guerrier, David Aardsma, Frank Francisco, Nick Masset, and Octavio Dotel are the only quality bp guys that were once part of the wsox organization currently pitching for other teams. Although Francisco, Masset, and Aardsma are all far from sure things to be succesful this season. Forgot Rauch.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 12:04 AM) And Colorado wins the 1st game on the road.. They remind me of the Hawks last year, though not as talented. Very young team, that doesn't know any better and can surprise people. I hope they can somehow beat SJ though, more than likely they will play us after re-seeding and we match up very well vs. them. Sharks.. ah if they lose this series, they will still have that choker label to their name. Still very early though as alot of the top teams lost their 1st game. (Pit, NJ, SJ and I'll even add Detroit in here, even though Phx has the 4th seed) Speaking of Phx, nice win for them as well. I hate that term sooooo much, it doesnt make any sense.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 11:56 PM) MIP is what I was talking about. Lebron should be the unanimous MVP. But Durant is the heavy favorite to get MIP (not that the MIP is some great award). Scoring champion at 21? It's a lock. He scored 25 ppg last season, the MIP usually goes to someone that was either crappy or mediocre and becomes a good player.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 10:45 PM) The key isn't LeBron. They key is shutting down the other guys. Remember, I lived through the MJ era. Most people lived through the MJ era

The real question will there ever be a whitesox game that that doesnt have a retarded new topic posted after it...

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) I told you guys something is up. Now the Sox are trying to free up a 40 man spot and they lose a pitcher on waivers. I bet this has something to do with the D-Backs scout I saw. Do scouts typically not show up for games?? Id imagine especially to start season teams would send scouts out in general just to seek out new emerging talent.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 04:16 PM) The problem comes if this makes potential free agents think twice about coming to the Bulls because our GM is nuts. Ultimately if a guy is going to get paid and thinks he can win there, that will win out. Otherwise what non-latin player would ever sign with the whitesox?

I dont get what the big deal is, this is Ozzie Guillen... its who he is. Plus I have no problem with Rios losing his cool over there that fan was pathetic and just because he is getting paid a lot doesnt mean he should have to deal with that s*** away from the baseball diamond.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 12:28 PM) Jeez. Soxtalk can be depressing. Gordon Beckham is hitting .226. Maybe we should demote him? Let's release Jake Peavy while we're at it... worst contract in sports. Be real people, we're 8 games in... I disagree, cmon now this team isnt going to win in the playoffs they should just tank. If they lose enough who knows might get a top3 draft pick!! I should also say it sickens me everytime there is a whitesox winner thread!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 12:19 PM) See top 3 pick. Thats not a miracle, that just aint happening.

Cant believe the heart of the lineup just went down that easy to Kevin Gregg..... thats pretty pathetic.

This offense really is dreadful, on the plus side if it really is this bad all season long that definitely would mean the end of ozzie ball and we might bring in some real hitters.
