QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:08 AM) Best curveball of the year, by any White Sox pitcher. Like I said, didn't see it. I'll still take Garland's offspeed pitch against Tejada in the 8th earlier this year.

Whew.....Pods didn't exactly get a good jump on that flyball.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:06 AM) I tend to think Hermanson's season this year was a helluva lot of luck. But maybe that's just me. With every hanging slider he gets away with, I completely agree.

Good grief....that was pathetic. Here we go again!

I missed it....so Jenks threw a good hook to Vlad?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:03 AM) Teams can make an absolute killing off of dealing 'closers' in the off-season. Deal him for a regular reliever who had a decent season, yet not big in the 'flashy' relievers stats like saves. Get a prospect, too. I'd look to trade Politte before I would Hermanson. I actually think there's going to be a lot of changes this offseason. Something I was thinking about was this: would Ozzie and KW take a chance with putting Rowand in RF, Dye at 1b, and try to sign Juan Pierre? You know Ozzie loves Pierre.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:03 AM) Yankees always want him. Weren't there rumors they were looking to trade for him arounf the dead line? Supposedly, until we asked for Flash Gordon in return. I can't see the Yanks putting more injury prone pitchers into their rotation next year. I think they've learned their lesson this season.

Ok, lets put PK back in the 4 spot and not mess with him.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:01 AM) Well you knew if the Sox scored 6 runs, it had to be across two days

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:00 AM) El Duque will not be a member of the White Sox by spring training next year. You can take that to the bank. I just want to know who will trade for him?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:59 AM) One person I'd trade while his value is high... Hermanson. And Marte, too. But I'd have to think with this suspension/DL thing it's dropping a bit. Hermanson might need back surgery, so I doubt his value will be high. I'd rather keep him, and let him be a versatile reliever. As I'm sure you know, myself and others have been saying Marte was going to get traded over the offseason. Obviously, that's almost a given now. I wouldn't be shocked to see a trade of Contreras and Marte for Overbay.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:58 AM) Maybe, but at the same time you guys under-rate him. He had trouble adjusting to the AL, but two years ago was also his first full season and he finally lived up to his potential. Its not like peopel didn't see him having the taletn to explode the way he does. You don't just hit 50 plus hr's and knock in 130 guys (rough estimates) while hitting well over .300 on accident. He finally got healthy and learned to lay off the s***ty pitches. You put Beltre on a team with a home field where the opposite field is a great power alley, and he would hit 35 homers easily at the Cell. My only concern with him is that he seems to get dinged up every game.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:57 AM) Podsednik doing what he does best..... Make outs on the basepaths. Haha....well said!

Big run there driven in by Pods! Nice to see him hitting the ball with more authority.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:54 AM) Q: Who finishes the year with a higher batting average, Iguchi or Uribe? Iguchi, just barely. I told everyone that PK would end up with a higher batting average than Iguchi after the first month of the season, when Iguchi was near .330. He really needs to get it going though, as he's putting together some real poor ABs lately.

Nice slide by Crede....NOT!

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:52 AM) I'm actually Okay with Iguchi here next year. I would have loved for the Sox to have Placido Polanco right now, as well as the contract he just signed (something like four years, $16 million, IIRC), but that's long gone. Yeah, I have no problem with Iguchi coming back next season. However, I wouldn't rule out trading him in the right deal. The only four players I'd never consider trading for next year are Buehrle, Jenks, Cotts, and McCarthy.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:50 AM) I can see beltre putting up a near .900 ops here... but still would not make him worth the money. It's not like the mariners would ever take money on, because quite frankly they should not have to. You'd have to make the deal good enough for them so that they'd want to throw in some money.

I don't think Ozzie and Jeff Kent would get along very well.

Excellent Cliff!

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:47 AM) If I had any faith that he could turn in around... and that we could get Seattle to take on some money... Adrian Beltre. I would look into seeing if the Mariners want to add to their Japanese product by trading Iguchi in a possible deal. It's a lot easier to find a solid 2b than it is a powerful 3b in this market.

Good job by Politte. In nearly every previous game we've ever had vs KC, this batter will reach so Sweeney will come up in a big situation.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:45 AM) I may be in the minority here, but I hope that Uribe and Rowand are still up the middle next year. I can't see anyone coming in and being a defensive improvement over either of the two. I agree with you...shockingly For their salary, we're not going to do much better. It's up to KW to upgrade the offense at the DH and 3B spot.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:44 AM) Another runner is scoring position failure No error/lucky break to bail us out this time.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 04:43 AM) Awesome. I thought he strained a muscle?
