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.

QUOTE(3E8 @ May 15, 2006 -> 06:21 PM) We are 3-1 when Ross Gload starts and undefeated when he gets a hit. We are also 5-0 when Juan Uribe strikes out twice.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ May 15, 2006 -> 06:06 PM) I think this is overplayed. The Pirates had no problem giving the Cubs Lofton/Ramirez a couple of years ago. Hunter will go to the team offering the best package, regardless of division. The Sox and Twins have not traded with eachother since 1986 just because the Pirates are f***ing stupid doesn't mean a half way decent team like the Twins would do things the same way. You will not be seeing torii traded to any team within the division.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 15, 2006 -> 05:52 PM) I have no idea where to put this but... Dan Plesac is the best analyst on Comcast. Period. Dan Plesac sucks and you are stupid. You do realize he picked the Cubs to have a better record than the Sox this year right? RIGHT?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 15, 2006 -> 05:13 PM) That would be 35 wins in about 49 starts between the 2. I can't think of a reason why they can't win every one of those starts.

Speaking of former White Sox first round picks who played for southern schools in college our future LF/trade bait Josh Fields is f***ing lighting it up like noones business, went 5 for 5 last night with 2 bombs and a double.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 15, 2006 -> 04:57 PM) That is more than ridiculous 18 wins for Santana and 17 for Liriano, what's so outragoues about that? I was thinking more like 40 combined, I think the Twins fans are being a bit conservative on that prediction.

KC Vs CLE was postponed today meaning the Indians and Twins will finish the day tied for 3rd 8.5 games back of the 25-12 Sox. Oh yeah and the Royals are 14 games back.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 15, 2006 -> 04:04 PM) Who would everyone say is the best defensive CF in baseball? Jones? Yes, Jones easy. He's probably the 2nd best defensive CF of the 90's behind Griffey and probably top 5 of all-time.

Hmm, a nice defensive play to end a game, quite a good note to go out on.

Mike Caruso, Interleague play god.

Also just to preface everything I posted (even though it's after the fact) I am probably one of the biggest pedro fans you'll find, grew up watching him dominate every great hitter of the 90's and fell in love with the way he played the game.

QUOTE(WCSox @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:37 PM) Um, not really. Pedro was "the most dominant pitcher of his time" for about four years and was never the same after the injury. Randy Johnson had a phenominal stretch from '97-'02 and has five Cy Youngs. Maddux was a bad-ass in from '92-'98 and has four Cy Youngs under his belt. Clemens had a few different dominant periods ('86-'92 in Boston, '97 and '98 in Toronto, and '03 and '04 in Houston) and has a whopping SEVEN Cy Youngs. All three have rings and the latter two are members of the 300-win club, which Pedro won't touch. Pedro was probably the best pictcher in baseball history from '97-'00, but some of his peers had dominant stretches as well, along with better numbers over the long-term. So I don't think that he'd necessarily be a first-ballot lock for Cooperstown if he blew out his shoulder tomorrow. Possibly, but not definitely. That said, Pedro's '97-'01 numbers, three Cy Youngs, 200 wins, and helping the BoSox get their first ring in 86 years will get him in. Honestly I could throw a bunch of stats at you like WHIP and ERA+, I could say that Cy Youngs aren't always awarded to the most deserving pitcher, wins are a pretty meaningless stat for pitchers and throw out a Sandy Koufax comparison or two and probably prove that Pedro is the best pitcher of his time (even though he does not have the longevity of others) and possibly the greatest of all time but I seriously don't have the patience to go through all the work.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:37 PM) Other than WcSox, who thinks that he's not an ace? He only leads the majors in WHIP and strikeouts. I constantly hear people mentioning him in the same light as Randy Johnson and other old s***ty pitchers, a lot of people think he's mediocre simply because they don't bother to watch him pitch or even check his numbers, I mean a WHIP in the .80's isn't all that good is it? is it?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:26 PM) just make sure to stay away from the fries, go with the onion rings. I love the nasty little fries you get at Steak N Shake.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:19 PM) Uh oh, 3-1 to Cruddyer. No walks Freddy, Morneau on deck who can hit it a mile despite hitting below his weight in terms of batting average. Walked him, oops. Morneau weight = 223 pounds Morneau Average = .242 not quite

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:07 PM) That Baltimore rotation is scary bad. Bruce Chen is arguably the worst starter in the majors. I'd say Josh Towers ~ Bruce Chen.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:08 PM) I agree his O is over rated, we see him kill the Sox, but I'd be surprised if he is a .270 career hitter. .267 career Avg with a 100 OPS+ (AVERAGE).

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) im so hungry now. There's 2 right near my house (probably the only place worth a damn in the Streamwood area) I'm thinking about heading over there right after the game.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:00 PM) Yep, is that the kind of stuff I can look forward to? Is that the kind of fine dining I've been reading about in all the travel guides? Portillo's is really quite awesome, if you stop by there you will not be disappointed.

Scaryness . . .
