Nice play by Werth?

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 06:13 PM) Is Uribe below .200 yet? Add him to the list of guys that better not be back in 2008.

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 06:02 PM) I just noticed... why the hell is Cintron at SS and Uribe at 2nd... Are you sure that's right?

What type of reception did Thome get?

We have no one in the minors who we could realistically expect to come up to the big league team as a starter and put up an ERA under 4.50. The best move we could make with Contreras is to try and trade him.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 05:49 PM) lets try and keep it positive in the spirit of the thread please. What's your most memorable play of 2005?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 04:22 PM) its one of the best really. He is also coming around now. I couldn't imagine how much blame KW would receive if he had let Konerko go after 2005. When a guy who was as crappy as Rowand was during 2005 is treated like a god, then I don't want to know what people would be saying about Konerko. I have so much respect for Konerko. Besides for participating in my favorite sports moment of my lifetime (slam in game 2), he CHOSE to stay with the White Sox.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 04:03 PM) I think Konerko's contract was the first one he messed up on. PK's contract was great on so many levels.

I hate this time of year.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 03:47 PM) Would it really be that horrible to trade Contreras and insert Masset into the rotation? If we put Gio or Floyd into the rotation, it would be a lot more interesting than seeing Contreras throw 87 mph with no command and 1/10th the forkball he used to have. Could it be that Contreras has the first big money contract that KW messed up on?

Like I said in the other thread, it's obvious who was causing trouble. McCarthy and Anderson

QUOTE(OilCan @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 12:20 PM) It's very encouraging to see Ryan Sweeney near .300 in AAA. Does anyone see him turning up his HR swing, or will he be a Mark Grace/Jeff Abbott type player? Lofty expectations by saying he'll be a Grace-like player.

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 03:32 AM) i'm back like mj. that's sounds really hard to do. what if you miss the game where the white sox offense finally breaks out for 10+ runs? So your gambling suspension was lifted?

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 03:08 AM) And will be for the forseeable future. I'll say right now, if losing enough games to select #2 overall allows us to draft a pitcher of Justin Verlander's calibur I'd support it. The season is over. It doesn't matter whether we finish with 70 or 81 wins. That's what is so infuriating about them getting Porcello also.

I lost my beloved appendix on July 1st of last year. That was the day of the AJ walkoff homer....it was basically the day after that when our struggles started, especially on the mound. So....unless someone can find a way to get my appendix back, I'm out of answers.

It took Mr. Devito to bring together everyone on this board. I have to thank you DD....you have a career as a group psychiatrist.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 02:17 AM) I find it weird that Thome hasn't PH'd once these last two games. I find it pathetic. Ozzie went out of his way to make sure Sisco and MacDougal pitched at KC.

Uribe walks 1 every 12 ABs....Cintron has walked once every 24. QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 02:13 AM) You've been hear for 4 days. fathom, while overly pessimistic, is 5x the poster you are. Even that is an understatement. That must have pained you to have to do that.

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 02:11 AM) has anyone ever seen fathom post something constructive? i haven't. continue to hate on byrnes and hunter. both players are 10x better than any hitter on chicago's squad right now. I did start a thread about a week ago with some projections of what the roster might look like. Of course, a lot has changed since then with Crede's injury and rumors of team wanting Dye.

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 02:10 AM) you're one of those loud mouthed, no idea, love to complain people as well. who do we put a SS, valido? i'm sure you don't have any worthwhile ideas, so don't bother posting more nonsense just to up your post count. Thanks for the entertainment tonight. It's the best performance by a Devito since Renaissance Man.

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 02:05 AM) you better believe Uribe would but cut loose as well. no first pitch hackers on this squad. atleast no Uribe. that's all i care about. that slacker has to go. he is a colorado rockies throw away player. you know he is subpar just by that alone. Yet you want a Tampa "throw away" and two Arizona "throw aways" starting? QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 02:07 AM) I think the team needs more aging ex-twins whose legs are about to fall off. Maybe sign Tony Batista to play SS. I really fear we'll sign Castillo.

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 02:01 AM) That's right -- the Sox looked at Poreda & saw a guy that can't strikeout college hitters even with his 96MPH heat (that's 96MPH in "White Sox MPH" which translates to 92MPH in the real world) and immediately project him as a left-handed Brandon Webb that pitches to contact and never allows a fly ball. Great scouting. I think it's amazing how KW said he'd be in charge of the draft, yet he never saw Poreda pitch live. QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 02:01 AM) OF: Byrnes, Hunter, Terrero IF: Fields-Cintron-Castillo-Konerko-Hall i'd cut Pierzynski and have hall as my everyday C. maybe bring in a free agent C or let gustavo back up. line up: Castillo Hunter Thome Konerko Terrero Byrnes Fields Hall Cintron Rotation: Garland Vazquez Contreras Danks Gio We might break the Bulls regular season win record with that team. QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 02:01 AM) I dont follow our prospects at all. I know nothing about our future. Is Porcello a stud? Probably not a good night to say who everyone compares him to.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 01:58 AM) Exactly because we have a bad record due to our pitching. If only they could hold the opposition to negative runs everynight we would have a chance. If there was ever a pitcher who could lose while allowing negative runs, it's Javy Vazquez!

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 01:58 AM) I'll take Duncan in a package. The guy mashes RHP. Be hard for the Cards to give him up with the daddy connection. I think he's a 25-30 homer guy though.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jun 13, 2007 -> 01:56 AM) we must find the next young pitching phenom(s). Isn't that what we did by drafting Poreda instead of Porcello?
