Kalapse

Right here b****es: -Signed pitcher C.J. Nitkowski; -placed pitcher Jon Rauch on the 15-day disabled list with a torn right labrum; -transferred outfielder Terrmel Sledge to the 60-day disabled list; -designated pitcher Claudio Vargas for assignment; -optioned pitcher Zach Day to New Orleans of the Pacific Coast League (AAA); -activated pitcher T.J. Tucker from the disabled list; -purchased the contracts of outfielder Tyrell Godwin and pitcher Sun-woo Kim from New Orleans.

Is it possible that all this winning has become predictable and stale. Now where talking about s*** that happened five years ago and how steep the UD is at the Cell. Is it possible that maybe just maybe we need the Sox to lose just so we'll have something to talk about. Or maybe it's just the fact that we're not used to having the best record in baseball and being 5 games up on the 2nd place team and 11 games up on the 3rd place team, we don't know how to handle winning so we have to talk about stupid s*** because it's getting old talking about the White Sox winning ways over and over again. Or maybe just maybe a few people a starting a couple of stupid f***ing threads because they have nothin better to do and enjoy seeing a thread they that started up on the board. Either way I think we can all agree on one thing, .

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ May 26, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) Carlton chose who "his" team and who "his" fans were when he chose which cap he wore into the hall of fame. I don't think it's too far-fetched to feel betrayed by that decision. Is he that vindictive that he needs to punish an entire city for the actions of an asenine owner? Uh, okay. I'm done. Didn't this happen happen 5 years ago. Let it ago dude.

QUOTE(CubKilla @ May 26, 2005 -> 04:17 PM) Dumbest..... Post..... EVER! Carlton's decision was, in no way, directed at the fans. It was directed at that jerkoff Jerry Reinsdorf. And I, for one, don't blame him and I hold no ill will towards Fisk. If I was so unceremoniously s*** upon by the Organization that I gave a decade's + worth of hard work and sweat too, I would go tell my ex-boss to go eat a dick too.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ May 26, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) Wasn't there a lot of people who said Iguchi wouldn't be very good in the Majors as well....and how has that worked out? I am sure KW will have him scouted and will go from there. Who said Ichiro wouldn't be successful in America. I remember people picking him as an early rookie of the year candidate before he even signed with the Mariners.

QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ May 26, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) How do we know that this pitcher sucks without seeing him ever pitch... He doesn't suck but his numbers and scouting reports suggest that he wouldn't make a very good major league pitcher. And there are much better pitchers than him in Japan.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 26, 2005 -> 03:23 PM) It would take a lot to get Bonderman, but to suggest he is untradeable is a little ridiculous. No player is untradeable - I'm sure even the White Sox would trade Jon Garland for the right package right now. Of course, the right package would include probably about $20 mill in money, someway or another, someone to take on Dye and his fugly ass contract, a stud RFer, a good SP to replace Garland, along with 2 bullpen arms and 2 prospects(hopefully Steinbrenner is listening) I would guess it would take the FG package * 2, talent wise. Probably 2 top 5 specs, and then 1 or 2 more top 20 specs. No team should want to pay that. So ya, he is pretty much untradeable. Who said he was untradeable?

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 26, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) There are alot better pitchers over there than him. No thank you. Didn't we already talk about this guy and came to the conclusion that he sucks.

QUOTE(poorme @ May 26, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) lowell killed the ball a couple of times yesterday. he might be coming around.... what about wes helms just to give us a backup 3B/1B. I hate Wes Helms. I never want to here his name again. If you like Wes Helms go talk to a Brewers fan, and ask them their opinion of Wes Helms, they're sentements will be of similar nature to mine.

QUOTE(Steff @ May 26, 2005 -> 03:06 PM) Maybe we should ban the garbage as well... Agreed. Weed out the useless.

QUOTE(Steff @ May 26, 2005 -> 03:01 PM) Don't blame WSI.... They ban trolls and then they come here, I'm not blaming WSI just saying some of there garabage is washing up here.

QUOTE(Steff @ May 26, 2005 -> 03:01 PM) They do now.. Carlton was able to choose his cap. Was he. I forgot exactly what year they started doing that.

The Baseball Hall of Fame decides what team you are inducted as. He has a little say but it is hard to change the committees mind on what hat you'll wear.

QUOTE(Steff @ May 26, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) It is.. scary and the steepest. And I agree with you.. stupid threads lately. It's like someone is recruiting dumbasses from WSI and bringing them here to troll.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 26, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) This guy is a douche... Take a look at all of his posts. He's not a fan of the Sox. he just hates the Cubs. -- http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?ac...sult_type=posts Take a look at his first thread he started. That should say it all.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 26, 2005 -> 02:52 PM) Go to the UD in yankee stadium and then see how steep it is. The UD at the cell is not that steep at all and it's a great view. Jacob's Field has the steepest UD I've ever sat in. It's scary.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ May 26, 2005 -> 02:50 PM) Maybe its all us 'newbs'? Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't all I know is I'm seeing a s*** load of dumb f***ing threads popping up all over the place. It's unsettling.

WTF. This last month we've been getting some just stupid threads.

QUOTE(kdhargo @ May 26, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) idolized? Wow. I absolutely butchered that. What the f*** was I thinking.

QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ May 26, 2005 -> 10:52 AM) With Ozzie being close friends with Chico do you think he might miss a game or two Absolutely not. He Idolized the man but he's not going to miss work because he passed away. Ozzie will morn his death and reflect but he won't miss any games.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:56 AM) Is the link to this review not working for anyone else? The link is dead.

Detroit would never trade thier ace to the Sox, for sure. It would take a giant package to land him, if a team was interested they would have to overwelm the Detroit Brass with a deal that could not be rejected.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:47 AM) Oh no, when? How? Bruce Levine is reporting that he has passed. They didn't say when or how.

Albert Pujols is an unbelievable human being. He's taking his stardom so well, he's using his celebrity to bring happiness to his fans. I'm sure a lot of us have seen the piece on ESPN about the little mentally handicapped girl that Pujols has befriended. He has changed her life and genuinly cares about the people that look up to him. A big cheers to Albert Pujols
