QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 04:50 PM) Just watched mallrats and catching amy last night... well actually early this morning.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 04:30 PM) My God, it's actually true... http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AnBm...ov=ap&type=lgns The Nationals signed Royce Clayton to a minor league deal and Jack Wilson gets $20 million, lol. Do you say that because you think they are comparable defenders? Royce clayton does not move to his left, right, or back. He has always been brutal to watch and i do not know how he has the reputation as being one of the top defenders in the league.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 04:23 PM) I cheated and saw the address... Hint for mine: That's Mischa. That looks like sam rockwell slightly... so lawn dogs.

Never said it is a good reason why... just the only thing i can think of. It is also likely that they don't have a short stop that they see likely to fill the void ( from the minors) anytime soon. If not the pirates it would have been some other team signing him to nearly the same deal... that is how much teams/mostly anyone like his glove. Defense saves alot more runs than people realize, especially up the middle. Saying that... they are still s***ty offensively.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) http://pittsburgh.pirates.mlb.com/NASApp/m...t=.jsp&c_id=pit Why the hell is Jack Wilson getting $20 million over 3 years and why are the Pirates paying it? He is excellent defensively and at a primary position you look for it. The best thing they ever did and will ever do is lock up bay though. Wouldn't be surprised to see them do the same with duke in a couple years.

QUOTE(pale_hose @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 03:55 PM) Uribe would be great in the two spot. He is a good base runner and has a real quick bat. But, if he works on his discipline, then he will produce. He swung wildly at times last season, but i think he will be patient and more disciplined. Uribe is the worst base runner on the team... far and away in my opinion.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) Vida Guerra is scrumcious either way. :puke I am not just saying that about her because it is the cool thing to do. I just really don't think she is very attractive.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 03:42 PM) Name me a team that carries three 1B. Hes worthless to us. Never said that... and he is virtually worthless to us. Alot of teams do carry two first baseman and another that can play it if needed. If gload had a better primary position... like left... he would make this team... but he doesn't and he will get a job some where else no matter how much he is hated on these boards.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 03:37 PM) I think the "flat out hit" assertion comes more from opinion and watching him play than from statistics. Statistics don't tell you the mechanics behind a hitter's swing, they just show what happen when he hits the ball, and I think that's more of what Rowand was getting at. He does have a good swing at the plate, and he did hit .327 for the Sox or whatever it was exactly with fairly solid splits in 2004. Also, SB's are not always a good way of indicating speed...Paul O'Neill was 22 out of 25 in SBs in 2001 - not only was that a career high in SBs and SB%, but it also just so happened to be the last year of his career. He didn't exactly have Vince Coleman speed, but was smart enough to be able to read the pitcher's movements and swipe quite a few bases for the Yanks. I personally agree with you on Gload being fairly useless to the Sox, just thought I'd make those points. Jason bay was 20-20 at one point last season and ended up 21-22. He is really fast no? I mean he is slightly above average... but not the fastest ever as those stolen base numbers would indicate. Just a good and smart base runner.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Feb 23, 2006 -> 02:26 PM) I just don't understand this "flat out hit" and "he can run". Where does it come from? A career ops in 373 PA's of .765. Good enough for an OPS+ of 94. If that is "flat out hitting" I'd love to see the words you'd choose to describe Pujols--"demi god", or maybe just "God"? Speed? He's 0/3 in career stolen bases. Yep, speedy alright. I'll even concede he's a good defensive 1B. But let me repeat: he plays the easiest position on the field. So lets say this: he's a below average hitter by league standards, much worse by position standards, and plays a good 1B, something not that important in the grand scheme of things. He will be 30 years old this season, and barring a miracle, has already peaked as a player. The two players in front of him at 1B, Kong and Thome, also happen to be the two best sluggers on the team. Tell me, what use does Gload have on this team? RF? Oh but the same scouting report from STATS INC that says he's a good defensive 1B also says he's got a noodle arm, that won't help in RF one bit. Notice that I don't ask the question "what value does Gload have in general", because yes, he probably could make a roster that needs a backup 1B. The Sox are not that team. If gload gives us a .765 off the bench i am fine by that... but i think he could put up around .800. You have to remember this guy has been f***ed with his whole career and if you go by his 2000, 2002, and 2005 season which he had 106 at-bats total that is pretty naive to me. Many players cannot get comfortable in such a short time span. The only time he had a decent amount of playing time in one season... 2004 for over 250 plate appearances he hit .321 for us. I also am sick of hearing '' those games meant nothing... we were already out of it''. If timo managed to stay on the team all of 2004 when he was supposedly injured for most of the year how the hell couldn't ross gload? Only thing timo has on gload is he can throw better. Also, if first base not that important in the grand scheme of things, how many more errors do you think the sox would have had if someone like frank thomas was playing first base the last 3-4 years every day? Do you know how many balls konerko has to pick out of the dirt because of crede and uribe? Hell even iguchi was wild as f*** and he has the shortest distance to throw. A very good first baseman ( rather have the picking abilities than versatility at first) saved our ''great'' defense too many times to count. Did you really say he doesn't have good speed because he is 0-3 in his career @ stolen bases? He is a good base runner and faster than either thome and konerko ( yes not clearly the hitter they are... but not the point). I still stand by the fact that he made that error against the cubs in right field is what keeps them thinking he is the worst fielder ever. He is not good by any means... but he is no worse than everett or timo in the field... especially since he would be seeing very limited time. I use to think he should make the team... in previous years, and even before the off-season got under way. Now? We have bigger needs like a power hitting right handed bat off the bench. Juan gonzalez would have been the perfect flyer to me... sign him to a minor league deal and anything he does is an added bonus. If he went out on his first swing, so be it. But now that does not look like an option ( never really thought it was in the first place. All in all teams have worse options than ross gload backing up first but he is only needed if a long term injury occurs very soon.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 08:19 PM) I honestly believe that Pacific Poker has some type of hex on me. I haven't hit a flop in at least 100 hands, and have lost about $50 bucks since starting off with $75. It pisses me off, too. People call down with s*** till the river, and something like an inside straight draw on me. Or, I'll have A-J to another guy's A-10, and there we'll both have aces going to the river, only to see a 10 hit. If you played with witesoxfan he would piss you off to know end.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 22, 2006 -> 11:22 PM) We don't need Harrington. This team needs bigs and pissing away money on guys that aren't going to solve that problem would be foolish. Nazr and Harrington do not count. They don't give us a legit low post scorer. We will hear those two names talked about 702390509823589 times the rest of this season and the off-season ( on here anyway).

We pick morrison i might consider boycotting the bulls (i am not serious). He is slow, unathletic, a b****, gets pushed around too much. He has many more negatives to him than positives. He is one of the many great college players that suck... or in his case... will suck in the nba.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 01:03 PM) Remember his 2 homer performance on opening day. Everyone was saying that he is poised for a monster season.........hmmm Three home runs...

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 10:30 AM) this was eli roths film. tarantino would have nothing to do with the first half hour being boring. I was just saying he did have a little something to do with the movie... that is all.

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 20, 2006 -> 01:26 AM) "tarantino was masterful" that guy is masterful ... at making people think he made movies he didn't have s*** to do with. Eli Roth directed it. He was the executive producer + the ''presenter''.
