QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) Well we are all aware of how he pitches at home and at night, but the Indians have just crushed him this year. (10.45 ERA against them coming into tonight.) Yes the walks have been costly tonight, but it's not like he's all over the place giving them up to guys with sub-.300 OBPs. How soon we forget that Garcia had something like a streak of going 35 IP without issuing a walk. Hard to issue a walk when they're pounding the s*** out of anything you throw anywhere near the plate.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 08:37 PM) Glad to see TigerFan is here to rub our face in it He hasn't even posted since the game started. Damn, layoff the guy.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 08:35 PM) Anyone one of you guys listenting to these ESPN morons talking about who Kronk is, please don't believe them. Kronk is not the name of Eddie Murphy's character in Shrek. His name is simply Donkey. Kronk is a character in Emperor's New Groove. His voice was played by the guy that played Elaine's boyfriend (one of them), Puddy, in Seinfeld. I can't recall the guys real name. Don't listen to these two morons. Pronk = PROJECT + DONKEY I thought everyone knew that.

How can ANYONE defend Garcia?

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 08:31 PM) Hafer own the Sox. Hafner owns every f***ing team in baseball, he's a great player, it's what they do.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 08:28 PM) I'm not saying you should give them the benefit of the doubt because of 05. You should give them the benefit of the doubt because they play for "your" team. At least that's what I thoguht it meant to be a fan. But whatever. Um, f*** that. If they're not going to produce why should I give them the benefit of the doubt? That's makes no sense, I personally root for laundry and a few players (all of whom contribute in some way). If a player sucks but he's on the Sox I'm not going to just blindly love them, that's the definition of a Cubs fan.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 08:24 PM) But he is producing. Good enough not to be hated on like he is. I mean, he's a pitcher on the White Sox. They should all get the benefit of the doubt. I feel like I'm baseball prospectus here soemtimes and not a white sox fan site. He's allowing a s*** load of baserunners and some how keeping them from scoring, you can't get away with that forever. I refuse to give players the benifit of the doubt for the rest of their careers because of one season, it's '06 everything starts over new.

Oh well.

Double upcomming.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) There is plenty of "I dislike Pods, but..." "I dislike Freddy, but..." There is a difference between criticism and whining about everything a player does wrong. I do dislike Podsednik as do many people but that's not every player on the team. If they're going to suck (Freddy, yes he has sucked) then people are not going to like them. It's hard to like a player that's not producing.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 08:19 PM) Beacuse he has given up 3 runs or less in 9 of his 12 starts? Does anybody here like the players on our team except for our 3-4-5 and Jose? I mean seriously. Criticism does not equal hatred.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 08:09 PM) Instead of Pods or Ozuna, can I take option C next year, which is Josh Fields in LF? Yes please.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 08:06 PM) Ozuna has won more games for us than Pods has. And he'd lose more games than he'd win if he were the everday LF. He's incredibly valuable as a bench player, he's just awesome. I dislike Pods as much as anyone but there's no way I'd like to see Pablo starting in LF over Pods everyday.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 08:04 PM) And Pods is a starter? Atleast he walks every once in a while and doesn't make a total ass of himself in LF like Ozuna would.

This team is pretty good.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 08:01 PM) Why is Pods still the starter? Ozuna is 10X the player Pods is. Maybe because Ozuna is not a starter, the second he starts getting more starts (redundant I know) it will imediatley show why he's a bench player.

Pods is a HORRIBLE bunter. When will he realize this?

STANDING OVATION b****ES!!!

Wow, Alex has some f***ing pop alright.

He's given up atleast 7 hits in his last 5 outings and he's already given 5 today.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 07:41 PM) Walking Michaels in front of Hafner is dumb. Throwing hanging curveballs to Travis Hafner is even dumber.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 07:31 PM) must you guys give Tigerfan so much s***? honestly? its not like hes here, talking s*** constantly, etc. Enough already. ^^ Totally agree.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 06:50 PM) Cesar Izturis career: .261 average .295 OBP .338 slugging .633 OPS YUCK!!!! I'll stick with Uribe and Cintron and hope Uribe gets on one of his patented hot streaks. And on top of that translate those numbers over to the American league and throw in some major elbow surgery. He would be an absolute disaster.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 06:46 PM) They wouldn't give up Cameron for peanuts. I wouldn't give up a potential star either, but I would give up a pitcher like Lopez and an outfielder like Jerry Owens in a second. If they want a major leaguer, they could have Ross Gload too. His line drive hitting wouldn't suffer in Petco that much. Cameron would look tremendous hitting anywhere from 7th-9th in our lineup. Why would they trade thier defensive specialist in Cameron anyway? They have absolutely no one who can play defense anywhere near as well as he can on their current roster. There's a reason why they game up Xavier for this guy they need his excellent defense in their huge OF.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 06:43 PM) You'll be hearing the name Cesar Izturis at some point too, but I don't see Izturis or Wilson to be any better than Cintron is, plus both are paid hansomely I believe. No thanks. I've heard the name Izturis numerous times and it makes absolutely NO sense to me. The guy would actually make the Sox worse if we acquired him.d
