fathom

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 01:04 AM) Is there any chance Contreras could be back healthy next year? It seems like no one talks about him anymore. Not until August or so

QUOTE (DaGame2584 @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 11:59 PM) Will the payroll expand any this offseason? Doubtful...likely have to unload some big contracts like PK, Javy, and/or Dye.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 12:57 AM) I like the Rays as a team, I'd be rooting for them against LA in the WS, though if Philly makes it.. it'd be hard to root against them, I'm a big fan of Howard, Utley, Rollins, Burrell, and Lidge Yep, I like all 3 of the teams that have made the Championship Series so far.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 12:53 AM) Best in the game. One of the highlights of the year was embarassing the Cubs fans in game 1 with how terrible their cheering was compared to the tiebreak game.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 11:52 PM) So are we going to be rooting for TB in the ALCS? Save Balfour and the cowbells, I don't really have a problem with them, and I'd vomit violently if Boston is in the World Series again. Absolutely...I have no problem with Balfour, he shoved it up OC's ass.

Keep taking strikes guys

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 12:46 AM) did you see that picture of him in the vennie prison? give you nightmares No I didn't.

Nice 2-16 by OC this series.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 11:45 PM) How are we going to get Figgins? Our farm system is pretty barren, and I'm sure Anaheim isn't willing to part with their good leadoff hitter. Why do we even think he's available? Supposedly the Angels hate Chone, as he's a prick in the clubhouse. I'm fearful KW's going to severely overpay for him.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 11:45 PM) when did tavaras qualify for high OBP When he became fast and cheap

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 11:44 PM) Or even worse, accept arbitration. If he did that, I think Ozzie might have to talk with Uggie Urbina.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 12:39 AM) how long have we been harping on this organization to get us some fast+high OBP guys, a leadoff hitter, and a CF and it never happens, year after year? Be careful what you wish for. I don't want to see Taveras in CF next season, while we give up all of our trade chips for one year of Chone.

PLEASE ORLANDO CABRERA, DO NOT GET HURT FOR THE NEXT 2 MONTHS!

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 6, 2008 -> 11:32 PM) I'm not even upset right now. The White Sox were a good team this year, but not a great one. We are lucky to get this far, and a divisional championship is something to be proud of. It's not like we were a 100 win team with a great rotation and lights out pen. This simply isn't our year. Anyone else feel the same? I'm thrilled with this season. I'm saving the long post for after the 27th out.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 12:25 AM) Hopefully, that's the last of the Griffey era on the southside. He's one of the best ever. But he seriously needs to consider hangin' it up. He wants to play 3 more years.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 12:28 AM) Who would you rather have back next year? Thome or Griffey Thome

QUOTE (DaGame2584 @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 12:27 AM) Sign Orlando Hudson, trade PK to LAA for Figgins! Yuck...I really wish people would just move on for Hudson. He's going to the Yankees.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 12:27 AM) I know people are counting down Cabrera's at-bats, but how about Griffey's? His last possibly at-bat could be striking out ona pitch in the dirt. How fitting. Griffey played pretty good baseball the last month. I was suprised to see his OPS be nearly .800 with the Sox, and his defense hasn't been nearly as bad lately.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 12:24 AM) Do you know that they might have 3 championships after this year?? KW could do amazing things with this team if he had a 160 million dollar payroll and a guaranteed fan base for the next 5 years. I could just imagine the outrage on this site if we traded a player the caliber of Manny for Jason Bay.

Symbolic of this series....way too much swinging at balls and taking strikes.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 12:22 AM) Screw Swisher, move Dye because he has more value. Get a real CF. With this season all but over, give me your offseason predictions.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 12:22 AM) how bout we trade KW and the keys to the city of Chicago for theo epstein? Do you know how many s***ty contracts the Red Sox have given out over the last 5 years?

All cock exposing aside, I'm thankful this series has been on TBS instead of Comcast. I would strangle someone if I had to hear Hawk blame everything on the umpires.

Ramirez keeps us in the game with his defense. I would really like to see that be the last inning for Dotel in his Sox career. Get some value for him, as his arm might fall off after this year's workload.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 7, 2008 -> 12:14 AM) Quentin and JD should swap positions in the offseason. I love the fact that Rosenthal already suggested we trade Dye for a SP or athletic CF. Put CQ in RF, Swisher in LF, and upgrade at CF, 3B, or SP.
