Kalapse

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:29 PM) Escobar? Also, there is a difference between throwing at a guy and throwing at a guy's head. You never deliberately go for a head. You hit the arm, fine. Shoulder, ok, if you know what you're doing. But you don't throw at a guy's head. Kelvim didn't go at Pierz the way Springer did at Bonds, you have to toy with him then go for the head.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:20 PM) Edmonds belongs no where near that list. 35 years old and declining, give me Aaron.

Someone should really throw at Pierz' head, I mean a lot of people see him as being a mean guy so I suppose he deserves it too.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ May 17, 2006 -> 12:20 PM) Barry Bonds puts on the largest arm pad in the world and crowds the plate. He never gets a strike called on him. Why should he not be brushed back or hit.... He wasn't drilled in the head. That wasn't a brush back, considering the pore control Springer displayed in that pitch sequence how do you know he wasn't aiming for his head? I would not put it passed him. Brushing someone back is throwing a pitch or two inside to get them off the plate and open up the outside of the plate for the pitcher, what Springer did was throw the ball behind him then 3 inside (one of the knob of the bat) and the 5 pitch hit him in the shoulder. A suspension and large fine is warranted in this situation.

Anything by Barats and Bereta is pretty damn good. Anything. http://youtube.com/profile_videos?user=BaratsAndBereta Yeah, I wouldn't watch most of thier stuff at work.

QUOTE(WCSox @ May 17, 2006 -> 11:43 AM) That's a real bush-league attitude. The fact that Barry's "not a good guy" doesn't mean that he deserves to get plunked with a 95 mph fastball. Unless Bonds did something to provoke this, Springer was way out of line. How retarded does it sound to say, "Bonds isn't very nice so he deserves to be hit in the head with fastballs" wow, some of this s*** with Bonds is just ridiculous, it's hard to like the guy but damn wanting him to be severly injured or even dead is just way out of line.

QUOTE(sin city sox fan @ May 17, 2006 -> 11:46 AM) It's not MVP numbers (and I don't expect those out of BA....especially as a rookie), but the kid is hitting .269 with a pair of homers over the past 10 games. His defense has probably saved at least a run or two over that period as well. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...layer_id=435042 Would I rather have Rowand in there? Sure I would (I'd take ARow over every other center fielder in the game). However, we had to give up a lot to acquire Thome and I think BA is beginning to do a very admirable job of filling this position. You are nuts. Andruw Jones Carlos Beltran Vernon Wells Grady Sizemore Just to name a few.

QUOTE(TheDudeAbides @ May 16, 2006 -> 10:37 PM) To those of you who think "We need to give him more time" Has anyone actually said this?

Resiliency

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 16, 2006 -> 09:51 PM) Some people have said that but I think someone (Cheat?) has said that that's not true.... Well, if you check the history of Montero and Ozzie there's really no connection, they never really met up at any one place. If they do know eachother it's from off the field.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 16, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) That's not possible. That's almost leaving the bases loaded every single inning. They left 9 on base That would also be horrible pitching by the Tigers.

QUOTE(JackTalkThai @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:56 PM) Holy Jesus. They just said on the radio that Zumaya hit 103 mph on the radar in the top of the 8th. Now I know the in-stadium radar guns aren't calibrated frequently....but damn. That 21 year old has an absolutely insane arm. Bobby Jenks accomplished that last year in Seattle, he hit 103 in the bottom of the ninth right before giving up a double down the right field line.

QUOTE(whitesoxin @ May 16, 2006 -> 05:01 PM) Hell no to Hunter. Hunter is more expensive, older, and would mess up the chemistry of this team. Do you think the guys on the team that were here in 2003 don't remember his cheap shot on Burke that started our losing ways? There is no way in hell we get him on this team. BA is going to be a stud defensively with a great arm and good speed. His offense could even equal Hunter's output by the end of this year, and if not, then next year. 1. It really wasn't a cheap shot. 2. I doubt the Sox players would hold such a pathetic grudge. 3. Torii is one of the nicest/coolest guys in baseball, it would be awesome having him on the Sox simply because of his personality.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 16, 2006 -> 04:38 PM) Everybody's favorites are like the same few guys. Anyone have any more obscure favorites? Right because Jorge Fabergas and Cal Eldred aren't obscure enough. You're standards are too damn high.

90's - Frank Thomas, Mike Caruso, Jorge Fabergas 00's - Frank Thomas, Jose Valentin, Cal Eldred, Jim Parque, Chris Widger

QUOTE(DePloderer @ May 16, 2006 -> 03:16 PM) Oooo I'm getting too excited. Three day games from Friday, I'll get to watch them all live! ( as long as I can work it around SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED ) Only if you understood just how firey that series over the weekend usually gets. No matter what anyone says it's still a big time rivalry, it truely feels like a playoff atmosphere.

Wow, Rob Neyer callin out Dusty for the "Man-Love" that is humorous.

f***in A, gotta say that cardinal on top of the S is a great touch.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ May 16, 2006 -> 01:37 AM) LOL. I gotta give Jeckle serious props for once. He was right on about Pierre. Dude is past his prime. You act like he's the only one who said Pierre sucked. I must say his 65% SB% was quite sexy and his .320 OBP is just perfect for a leadoff hitter. Honestly, anyone who watched Pierre play last year and still thought he was good is a severly dillusional person.

QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ May 16, 2006 -> 07:44 AM) Call me crazy but I think we might trade either Pods or Uribe. Uribe has been amazing at short stop but his bat needs to pick up. I think that either Cintron might be a temp while we trade both pods and Uribe to try to get someone. I think Ozuna is ready to play play especially in left field. If you think about it Pods is starting to get things together but for awhile he was struggling. We need him to get on base and use his speed thats where he is most deadly. I think Ozuna has that speed as well. Instead of dismissing this, I'd love to know who you think the Sox would target in a trade involving Pods and Uribe.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:28 PM) What's the team record for a single season, didn't Belle hit 52? I'll take 1 over whatever the team record is, so I think 53. I do believe Joey hit 49 HRs in '98. So that would mean Thome needs an even 50 for the team record.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 15, 2006 -> 10:26 PM) Its hard to forget all of the threads this offseason about how he was a FA after next year, and you continuously saying through '08 At one point I had it in my sig in the biggest f***ing letters possible, I aim to teach.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 15, 2006 -> 10:13 PM) I think we have him through 2008 actually, but I could be wrong. Kalapse would know for sure. Awww how sweet. He's a FA after '08 as usual Gage is handing out false information.

Mark Silverman doesn't even watch Grey's Anatomy and about as emasculate as it gets. Looks like you're s*** out of luck.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ May 14, 2006 -> 07:10 PM) Big Baby Why anyone would want Glen Davis is beyond me.
