QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 8, 2006 -> 04:02 PM) Let's say ALL of the things that some of the posters here have said is true.... 1) Contreras isn't making his start Wednesday 2) Count was seen limping yesterday 3) Haeger is being called up to take his place in the rotation. Let's review how many ways this doesn't make sense. 1) If Haeger is getting called up, somebody else has to go on the DL or get sent down. The only candidate for being sent down is Boone Logan. There are no candidates for being put on the DL (though I wouldn't be surprised if Cliff didn't make it through the season without a trip to the doctor) Contreras' limp, unless it was something of the magnitude of say an ACL tear, is not going to prompt the White SOx to put him on the DL. At worst, they would allow him to skip a start, with McCarthy replacing him, and evaluate him further in a few days. Contreras' start is still over 48 hours away. Unless he has a gangrenous limb, the Sox aren't going to make a final decision until Tomorrow at the earliest. Think about the McCarthy/El Duque situation last year. McCarthy wasn't notified until about 24 hours before his first ML start. The Sox are going to take a wait-and-see approach with all of their pitchers. In fact, with the off-day today, the Sox don't have to make a decision until they go through their rotation a full time. Saturday at the earliest. So until you can provide concreate evidence that Contreras has a SERIOUS health issue, (or at least that someone in his immediate family is ailing, prompting a Bereavement list trip) you're just blowin smoke. This post lacks moral support.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 8, 2006 -> 04:00 PM) Liotta called up, Garland traded. He has a no trade clause so it really wouldn't make sense and would lack in comedic value.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 8, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) I could give a s*** if this kid is brought up or not, if there is some base to this, what the hell would force Contreras to miss a start, McCarthy not to get a spot start, and a f***ing kunckler brought up from the A ranks? AAA

QUOTE(wcw2323 @ May 8, 2006 -> 03:42 PM) Thanks Jenks Heat....finally a response with some intelligence Perhaps if you would have elaberated a bit more on your original post you would not have been met with such hostile posts.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 8, 2006 -> 03:27 PM) Yeah, Cowherd turned me over to the Score for Mulligan and Hanley, quickly. The score has become Cubs bashers, bigtime. I almost felt sorry for the organization this morning. I heard that, some of the most enjoyable radio I've heard in a long ass time. I love when Cubs fans bash the organization, it's what they should have been doing for some time now.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 8, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) Charlie, is that you? Honestly, that had crossed my mind and would be one of the funniest damn things I've ever seen.

QUOTE(wcw2323 @ May 8, 2006 -> 03:26 PM) Hi Guys...yes it is confidential....stay tuned and try to show some patience, and most importantly some class! Start crafting your apologies and have them ready! One thing, why would they call him up to start over McCarthy? And why would he even be starting to begin with?

QUOTE(JimH @ May 8, 2006 -> 03:21 PM) Hey by the way I must not be up on things around here ... didn't it used to be we could look at the bottom of the thread to see who's on, who's replying, etc.? I loved that feature. It let you know someone was replying and in my case it alerted me if quickman was on the thread so I could prepare a response to his goofyness LOL. I believe the site outages lead to that feature being disabled. When the site gets its upgrade all the features should be back. Atleast that's what I've figured from what Gage an gang have said.

QUOTE(SoxPride56 @ May 8, 2006 -> 03:17 PM) I dont belive this for one second. Having said that, I was at the game yesterday, and during warmups, all of the pitchers were throwing long toss. Contreras cut his short, I saw him limp badly back to the dugout. I'm not saying that he is hurt or anything, but who no's maybe this guy knows someone, I doubt it tho. Contreras was walking around in the dugout just fine yesterday, I rewatched the game simply to check on this.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 8, 2006 -> 02:58 PM) ^^^^^^ That about did it for me. Come clean. This has no base whatsoever. You are just trying to stir the pot. /end He's upset that a few people were saying that Charles Heager would not make a good middle reliever for the Sox this year in a thread in the Futuresox forum, so he makes up this rumor . . .

Funny, no wire service has even hinted at this . . .

QUOTE(wcw2323 @ May 8, 2006 -> 02:50 PM) Geez, how about some moral support for the kid....Many of you have already dissed him, such a shame! Maybe it's because it makes absolutely NO sense what so ever, McCarthy is the 6th starter, Jose Contreras is slated to pitch Wednesday and they're playing a half way decent team. Why throw away a game by pitching a rookie knuckleballer?

God, I wish Griffey would have stayed healthy and given Hank Aaron a run for his money, I'd be rooting for him every step of the way.

Well, here's the link to the pic: http://img342.imageshack.us/img342/6017/cws7710vf.gif

I you sure this is a rumor? Are you sure it isn't nothing?

I do believe this is the largest you will find:

BEST.TOPIC.EVAR I assume you're talking about the "I'm a Pirate" song or whatever from Pirates of the Caribean.

Driving to class this morning I had Mike & Mike on, during the 7:20 break a promo comes on for the new SUPER f***ING AWESOME SEAN SALISBURY AND STEVE ROSENBLOOM EXTRAVA'f***ING'GANZA!!! Yeah, I really won't be listening to that s*** every cut they had of Salisbury or Rosenbloom talking invlolved them saying something stupid about Football. I love football and all but at this point in time I really don't want to listen to footbal talk on the radio, I need my baseball talk damnit!

Yankees and Red Sox easy, their love for these 2 teams makes it impossible to get unbiased coverage of the other teams in the league. Plus I don't hate Bonds nearly as much as everyone else does.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 7, 2006 -> 10:52 PM) First: aside from Thigpen, does any member of the Sox hold any single-season record for anything? Sox Machine brought it up, and I couldn't think of anything. Nope, not a one for anything.

If you guys are really looking for more info on Heath Phillips, simply google his name and click on the first result that comes up.

or not

Aaron Fultz blows, Bonds will probably tie Ruth right here.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 7, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) Not built for this year? Aren't they in 1st right now? They have a lot of overperforming vets and green youngsters, they'll start to fade soon. Their farm system is so f***ing stacked though that they should be good very soon and keep up that winning for a while. If they move a few players like Tony Clark and others they could add a few more young players to their future plans.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 7, 2006 -> 09:14 PM) Bonds is a piece of s***. I hope he gets a season-ending injury before his next at-bat. s*** like this is pushing me closer to agreeing with TRU.
