QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) The consensus has shifted, seems like 90% of the board now hates Jerry Owens. It's fun being ahead of the curve. What's next, everyone's going to say Dye is bad defensively?

Another vote for Timmy Riggens

QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 11:53 PM) The NCAA really needs to change the interpretation of what an intentional foul is this offseason. Agreed, too many fouls being called an intentional late in the game. The refs have to know that those fouls are destroying any chance at a comeback far too often.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 11:42 PM) Jerry Owens - Season Killer.

Extremely impressed with Brandon Allen's speed!

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 10:33 PM) Would i be considered too impatient by saying I want Beckham to start the season as our every 2b? He is such a natural hitter- what a beautiful thing! Give it time...it will happen sooner rather than later. I talked to my cousin who was at the game yesterday, and they couldn't believe how awful Lillibridge looks.

Refs have taken over this Mich St/Illinois game. They're calling a foul on every possession.

QUOTE (kane0730 @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 09:32 PM) I think The Pimp starts the year in AAA and is called up once Thome goes on the DL in May. If Thome goes on the DL for an extended period of time, I think we see #35 back in a Sox jersey.

In all seriousness, I want Stewart to win the backup job. He at least proved he can hit lefties last season in the minors.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 10:19 PM) no lol bcuz spring training doesnt mean anything. theyre facing pitchers that are rusty, trying to work on some things and scrubs I just feel that a catching combo of Stewart and Corky would give you a .300 batting average and good defense. Of course, that .300 batting average accounts for Stewart batting .180 and Miller .120.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 10:15 PM) Stewart with a single to score Anderson 7-0 Sox catchers have been rockin this spring so far. Hypothetically, if Stewart and Miller can both hit over .400 during Spring Training, would you keep both of them and then trade AJP?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 10:14 PM) i believe that is mark schlereth's kid pitching for the dbacks It is...first round lefty reliever out of the University of Arizona.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 09:43 PM) Next up to pitch, Don Cooper's newest reclamation project, Van Benschoten It's too bad he's not Walker's next project

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 08:34 PM) I think you meant to say start the season in AAA Ha, good catch

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 09:28 PM) Just for the sake of argument. If Viciedo just tears it up in Spring, but Fields does pretty well himself (doesn't play himself out of a job), does KW then really think about trading Dye for some pitching and put Viciedo or Fields in LF? Or would they consider keeping him on the roster, like they did with Alexei, or would that really hold him back on his growth? No one is going to trade for Dye, as his contract is about twice of what he'd be paid if he was a FA. Viciedo is going to start the season in ST, if for no other reason than to improve his defense.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 05:19 PM) off subject, i know but who is this pitcher theyre referring too..or maybe i just forgot.. whitesox.com It was Guillen who apologized to the White Sox fan base last year for putting a relief pitcher into a game against Boston who had been regularly getting hammered and got crushed once again by the Red Sox on that night. That particular pitcher no longer is with the team. I think it was Boone

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 27, 2009 -> 06:16 PM) Feels like Michigan is the bigget bubble team ever. Lose to Iowa, beat Purdue. Probably wil depend on the B10 tourney. Michigan's in...those two OOC wins are two of the best for anyone.

Amazing stat: Minnesota was 2 for 41 on non-dunks and lay ups last night.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 06:50 PM) As much as I wanna know how "Walt" got on the island to tell John to get up and all that, the kid that plays Walt isn't very good at speaking lines. I feel he would almost ruin some of the acting. For anyone that follows basketball, Walt is looking more like Ike Diogu every time we see him.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 06:35 PM) Was anyone else hping that the person on the table was Wallllllltttttttttt at the end? I suppos it was just wishful thinking that they'd tell his story. Otherwise a tremendous episode, but all Locke episodes are The show's been extremely predictable lately...but that might be a good thing. BTW, my wife just started watching the show this season. There's nothing more difficult than explaining storylines to someone with no foundation about what's taken place in previous seasons.

QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 04:13 PM) The Cubs don't matter. If the Twins made the World Series and won it, I wouldn't care at all. I can't say that would be even close to being true about the Cubs. The Twins are our rival...the Cubs are our enemy.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 04:31 PM) Kind of random, but considering Ben Gordon seems like he is gone from the bulls. What type of NBA prospects are Gerald Henderson and Dar Tucker? Henderson still is a tweener between SG and SF. However, he's going to play himself into a lottery pick. Tucker will make a fine professional player....in Europe. My prediction is Tucker goes pro this year, doesn't get drafted, and then leaves the country to get paid to play.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 05:53 AM) And that effectively ends their NC aspirations. They were already razor thin before this. Now they're Ally Mcbeal thin. Losing your 4th best player to injury doesn't end your chances. Hell, maybe Acker can help stretch the defense a little more. And might I add that Jerel McNeal is amazing. He's been the best guard in college basketball during conference play.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 06:49 PM) Like two other posters we have around here, eh? They wouldn't post here this year, or something. I had talked to some mods/admins about my "punishment" from last year, and came up with the idea of me not posting in game threads anymore.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 10:55 PM) watching the DEs workout on NFL network...michael johnson is a specimen...i wouldn't mind trading down to mid 20s and grabbing him if the top 4 tackles are gone when we pick at 18 Everyone knew Johnson would be a workout warrior. I don't want him in the first round, as the only thing he's actually good at ON the field is blocking kicks.
