No way does our rivalry with the twins even compare to the Yanks-Bo Sox. The Cubs rivalry is closer in scale but we don't play them near as many times and like someone else said neither team has won s***.

A wins a win but this was an ugly game.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) If that's true then how is Mancow gonna have Canseco on as his co-host on Monday if he's not even comming to Chicago. I was looking forward to that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The beauty of radio is that you don't have to actually be in studio to be on the show.

This is almost sad...

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Feb 26, 2005 -> 09:38 AM) Overstock.com. I want to donkey-punch that slut. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> She is a tease.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 26, 2005 -> 07:16 PM) I got this joke in an email today. A soldier in Afghanistan gets a Dear John letter from his girlfriend that says she's not in love with him, has slept with two other guys and that she wants her pictures back. The guy goes around to all his buddies, gets any and all unwanted pictures of females, some clothed and some not. He sends all of these pictures to his now ex-girlfriend with a note that says "I forgot which one you are. Just pull your pictures and return the rest." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is absolutely hilarious.

Skiles better wake them up in the locker room. As good as they've been losing to Charlotte will truely be an embarassment.

I'm excited to see Dye this year. I think he will be solid this year. Not great but i'll be more then happy with a .270 + BA and 25 + HR's

I just hope they don't try to use him as a starter. He really needs to just be kept in the pen.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Feb 26, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) From this day in history at the Hall of Fame web site. .288 - 22 - 84 got him released! It would have been a career achievement for a lot of guys. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's hard to believe but thats how great a player he was. Just imagine what he could of done if he wasn't falling down drunk most nights.

So far the bulls look tired almost. If they lose this game it will be a real disappointment.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 26, 2005 -> 08:20 AM) This is not a brilliant move, it's nothing .... It's not to test Adkin's stamina either. Adkins will pitch maybe 2 innings, just as any other pitcher would on the first ST game. If it was Buehrle, he'd pitch 2 innings or so. Don't make this any bigger than a blip on your radar screen, because that's all it is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I agree with you to an extent. Your right that this start doesn't mean s*** stamina wise. However it clearly sends a message of their intent for him this season and I think thats important.

QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 11:09 PM) Doesn't Chris Widger provide that depth now? Just seems like the only thing keeping Davis here is that 1 million dollar price tag. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Davis is still too talented to get nothing out of him. Besides if god forbid A.J. went down I would feel a heck of alot more comfortable with Davis out there then Widger. Besides hasn't Widger not even played in the last 2 years?

QUOTE(El Piervizdyeguchansodnik @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 10:20 PM) Actually, I'm sure you folks would be delighted if Anthrax posted over at South Siders rather than here. I can imagine the parties now... with JimH leading the conga. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I just don't get what his problem is. For awhile there it looked like he was really trying to improve and then next thing you know he's back to being the know it all. I mean I don't know who he thinks he is but he is not the be all, end all of baseball knowledge.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 09:58 PM) If neither Ozuna nor Valdez can play 3B, wouldn't it be better to have Burke up with the club, rather than Davis? I mean -- Davis isn't really helping the team by being a backup. He can't hit lefties at all (.229 over the last three years), and he isn't that great enough defensively to where we'd need him off the bench late in a game. Burke, on the other hand, could definitely hit better than .230 vs lefties (which is pretty damn big considering our starting catcher isn't great vs. lefties), would give us some versaitilty at 3B, C, and the corner OF spots too. I dunno, maybe I'm overexagerating it, but I don't see the need of Davis being on our roster. He really doesn't add anything to the club -- rather, I think Burke would add more than anything Davis would bring... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree to an extent. However there is no way Davis makes it through waviers and we can't afford to just let him walk away for nothing. It's more a case of just not having enough depth to be able to afford to let him go.

The worst are those Miller commercials. I mean Miller sucks ass. I mean is it really profitable to admit you have more taste when it's BAD TASTE!

QUOTE(JimH @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 02:22 PM) On your last point, maybe we can get a new stadium again so Williams can get the same inflated attendance and resulting payroll flexibility like Schueler had. Rebuilding and farm system: We had a pretty damn good farm system? Says who? Baseball America? Go back and look at the 2001 Prospect Handbook and tell me how many of those guys in the #1 rated farm system flamed out. Just about every one. Matt Guerrier was one of the highly touted guys. Go ask your Twins fan friends how he's doing. You see, I remember ALL of the salient points, not just certain ones to support my point of view. I remember rebuilding the pitching staff around Jamie Navarro, who had arguably among the worst character of any baseball player in recent memory. Not to mention he was awful. I remember Schueler dissing Roger Clemens in favor of Navarro. I remember that '93 and '94 team going into the crapper because the GM at the time sat on his hands and watched his poor personnel decisions send the franchise into a downward attendance spiral. You are right when you say this team has not won. Interesting though that the core of leaders were all part of that 2000 fluke team ... Ordonez, Valentin, Lee, Thomas, Konerko. Three of them are gone now and Thomas is a big "if". If Williams had the authority you claim he has, it's better than even money Thomas would be long gone too. Don't kid yourself if you think he has total and complete autonomy, or ever did. The buck stops at Reinsdorf's desk on big decisions like getting rid of a name player like Thomas. It is nowhere near as simple as one guy having 100% of the blame when things go wrong. When you say, "we've changed the players, we've changed the manager, therefore if it doesn't work it has to be the GM" ... again, that is one of your typical generalizations. There are a lot of factors with succeeding and failing, the GM is only one part. If you knew baseball as well as you profess to, this would be such an obvious reality that it wouldn't need to be discussed. I don't object to someone disliking a GM and in fact, I am more lukewarm on Williams than you might think. Again, nowhere in this thread have I gone out of my way to praise him. My objection is your ongoing tendancy to make big time generalization statements and paint them as fact. I am but one of many posters who have called you out for exactly the same thing. Maybe, just maybe, the dozens of posters who take issue with you have a valid point? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's not very often that I totally agree with you but I think you've hit the nail right on the head here.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) let it go through. it's only for a day and it's for charity. it's not like the fleet center will then be forever known as the derek jeter center... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree. Shouldn't be able to back out now just because the naming rights were bought by a Yankee fan.

I think that Ozuna would be the best man for the job. He has more experience. As for comparing him to Timo am I the only one who remembers how lazy Timo was to start the year? I mean you could tell he just didn't give a darn for the most part. It wasn't till he started to get about halfway through the season that he got consistant playing time and woke up from his coma.

Well good to know they have their priorities straight... :headshake

Atom Bomb Meat The Gobbledy Gooker Don't forget the the garbage man Duke "The Dumpster" Drocie (something like that) and they there was that awful T.L. Hopper (I think thats what his name was), some kind of a plummer. It was pretty bad. Also the HLA phase was so annoying. I swear if I heard the phrase Hot Lesbian Action one more time I think i'd throw something through my TV.

My name Joseph was #5 in 1900s and #5 in 1910s but it looks like it goes down from there. However #6 in 2003.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) Squeeky wheels get the oil. I just think we need to relax a bit, whiny baby or not, we need an insurance policy for 2B, as I've stated numerous times, I know KW tried to improve the team, but Iggy is a huge ? as we have as he's never played in the Majors yet. Let Iggy proove himself, THEN trade Baby Harris for something...until then, I'll take a wait and see approach...we may end up being happy we have his whiny ass around. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would agree with you if we could put him in the minors. However I don't think we can and if thats the case then their really isn't any room for him on the team unless we got rid of one of the outfielders, preferably Timo...

:sosasucks

As much as I enjoyed him mooning the Packer fans I think that it's best they get him out of town. With his bad boy image he'll fit right in with the Raiders.
