Juan Uribe: "They're trying to extort me."

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 17, 2006 -> 06:03 PM) People around here actually considered Pods an MVP candidate in 2005. And those people are baseball retarded. Pierre's OBP the past 3 seasons: 2004: .374 2005: .326 2006: .330 His inability to get on base is not exaggerated, it is a legitamite concern and way too many people overlook the fact that he can't take a pitch to save his life because he gets 200 hits a season. What is the real job of a leadoff man? 1.) Take pitches 2.) Get on base 3.) Score runs. Pierre doesn't do any of these things particularly well but he especially sucks at the first 2. Mix this with his lack of ability in the outfield, the fact that he's going to make decent money this offseason and him switching over the the superior American League and 2007-2010 could spell disaster in the leadoff spot for the Sox if Pierre is brought in here.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 17, 2006 -> 04:54 PM) How about a guy who had a BA/OBP of .327/.354 in 2006, can play LF as well as Pods did (not saying much), would cost about 500k and is already on the roster? Is an upgrade defensively in LF really too much to ask? Why should we accept a guy like Gload in LF because he can play equal defense to the worst defensive LF in baseball? Just for once can't we have a guy in left who's capable of throwing the ball 30 feet in the air and perhaps catch a ball that's hit to him as opposed to letting it bounce off his face?

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Oct 17, 2006 -> 12:11 AM) I saw that, but I think we are the best prepared to get it done. We got what they want. Actually, of the teams that have rumored to be interested in ARod the Angels have the best chance at landing him because of Santana, Figgins, Kendrick, Wood and the rest of their loaded farmsystem. As for the Sox, if KW isn't willing to part with McCarthy then I don't think the Sox have much of a chance.

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Oct 17, 2006 -> 12:09 AM) Let's get this Arod thing done. ESPN is just now saying that Pinella wants him on the Cubs. And yet the Cubs have jacks*** outside of Zambrano to offer up to the Yanks.

Well a warrant has been issued for Uribe's arrest.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 11:57 PM) I was a fan of the microphone slam, but thats just me. That was likely the saving grace of the press conference, he would have put himself in better position if the microphone had fallen off the podium and onto the floor however.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 11:53 PM) You saying it's going to go into the Jim Mora/Herm Edwards hall of fame? I think it's borderline, Green screwed up because he didn't really include any memorable lines in the tirade like "PLAYOFFS!?!?" or "You play to win the game." but you just know that this press conference will have some excellent staying power.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 11:31 PM) Ronny Cedeno: .271 OBP, .245 AVG, much lower SLG but hes not a power hitter like Uribe supposidly is. And Ronny Cedeno sucks defensively of course he was a rookie so it's not a great comparison. Rey Ordonez on the other hand was one of the worst offensive players in Mets history but kept his starting job for half a decade because of his Gold Glove caliber defense.

You just know that Denny Green cut will be shown on SportsCenter and the like for the rest of eternity.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 11:36 PM) Hmm, well I didn't see that one coming. I'm not in my right mind, I'm pretty sure I have a concussion. I totally agree with you on Leinart, after Arrington returned the ball out past the 30 on the kickoff I just knew that bastard Leinart was going to drive them downfield. He has some seriously ice water flowing through his veins. This Cardinals offense is going to be insane once they find an offensive line.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 11:34 PM) I was just joking around. I actually really enjoyed this game because besides the 2001 Bearsesque comeback, I really enjoyed watching Leinart play, he is not going to be good, he's going to be GREAT. Oh you think everyone is great, why don't you go hump a tree ya damn hippy.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 11:23 PM) Boring, boring game. Matt Leinart is really impressive though. Perhaps for a Dolphins fan but as a Bears fan I have no voice or energy left. What a horrible game, I don't know if it was a great team finding a way to win or a horrible team finding a way to lose but a win is a win I suppose. Just before Hester caught that final punt I whispered softly "One time baby" because of this, he does not have to do anything the rest of the season.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 09:46 PM) Rey Ordonez.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) Anyone happen to catch highlights of Troy Polamalu tackled by his hair? Hilarious. I quietly cheer for moments such as those. Whichever player is willing to give the opposition another exposed item to attach themselves to deserves a good hair tug. Granted, he's a safety, but it's bound to play in your mind whenever running back an interception/fumble. I also took great pleasure in seeing that even though I am a huge Polamalu fan. The best part was after the tackle Polamalu just walked away from the play like he was tackled normally, how much you want to bet if Ricky Williams or Al Harris were dragged down by their hair they'd be raising hell they second they hit the ground?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 12:28 AM) Yea, I figured that. What's the exact number? I have serious doubts it's in the bottom 3rd, but rather towards the bottom of the 2nd tier of SS's. 20th out of 35.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Oct 15, 2006 -> 11:31 PM) Don't need to. I'm just having a conversation where I state my opinion and everyone else states theirs. So your opinion is that it's a good thing Juan Uribe and his brother decided to shoot 2 guys? That you hope he shot them out of cold blood as opposed to self defense simply because you think he's a bad baseball player? Sounds logical.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Oct 15, 2006 -> 11:22 PM) yeah, I love me a guy with an .257 OBP. Wait, how many gold gloves has he won? Oh yes, none. Oh yes, and his "awesome" OPS of .698 was 20th in the list of all SS with atleast 200 AB. He also has an ISOD of .022. EDIT: Sorry, I was giving him too much credit. I put that he had a .290 OBP, while infact it was .257. When did the Gold Glove Award become the barometer for Gold Glove caliber defense?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 15, 2006 -> 11:03 PM) Just stop posting, please. Funny, I remember making this exact same post a few months back. It actually worked for a time.

Steve McNair hurt, Kyle Boller in to the game.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Oct 15, 2006 -> 01:52 AM) Piniella's Hispanic? I thought he was Italian. I believe his family originated from Spain.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 14, 2006 -> 07:37 PM) Not a bad idea, but his option is going to get picked up. So they won't be picking up the $17M option but will likely will attempt to bring him back for another 2 years at a discounted rate.

QUOTE(Craig Grebeck @ Oct 14, 2006 -> 12:44 PM) Career OPS+ AROD: 145 Jeter: 123 Mauer: 128 Miggy: 141 Sizemore: 126 Pujols: 171 Appearantly you havn't seen SportsCenter recently the nice men on the broadcast correctly pointed out that Alex Rodriguez is a bad player, teammate and person in general. I heard that he's never actually gotten a hit in the postseason unlike Jeter who is the Michael Jordan of baseball. On baseball tonight they had an investigative report about how Alex Rodriguez in his first year with the Yankees would actually give poisoned milk to school children, true story.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Oct 14, 2006 -> 12:17 AM) How much experience did Baines have as a bench coach before '05? Heh, I just had to f*** up your argument, but I agree. It's not really f***ing it up. I as well as others believe Ozzie sucked at in game managing since he's gotten here which includes '05 he just had a once in a lifetime starting rotation and bullpen to make up for a lot of his f***ups.
