QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 10:11 PM) So in other words, what you're saying is...the consensus number one pick doesn't always dominate? Actually in other words, getting a better selection of talent is better than a winning 70 games. Here is an easier way of putting it for everyone. There are 25 girls in the room, would you like to be the first guy in the room to get your pick. Or would you rather be the 13th and see whats left over.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 10:05 PM) Actually a couple of more losses that year would have meant Jeff Jackson instead of Frank Thomas. That's who the Sox really wanted, but Philadelphia chose him. Sure because Jeff Jackson was the consensus overall number one pick a year before the draft. Dont worry if we are further down in the draft KW will pick Danks brother like he wants to anyways.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 09:57 PM) A "good" loss? An "ideal" loss? Glad you don't mind seeing your team get embarrassed again by the worst franchise in baseball. A draft pick? Yeah that pick is really going to help this team on the field next year. You would of been a lot of fun in the late 80s when we stacked up on talent. Oh that 77th win is so much better than that silly football player. Frank Thomas wont help us this year.

I love it when we get the mantra that Greg Walker cannot be blamed for our hitters by Hawk and DJ earlier in the season. The minute a hitter has some success, they tout how much hard work Mike Gellinger and Greg put in with the hitters. So only success is their fault huh.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 08:23 PM) I just think you drink too much. That can't be, I haven't blacked out yet.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 08:02 PM) Well, I have a greater memory, I guess, so I can fit all sorts of things into it. Garbage in, garbage out.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 07:53 PM) I'll always remember rolling over, half asleep, having fallen asleep with the TV on the Red Sox Royals game on to start the 2007 season, waking up and seeing Buddy Bell come to the mound and celebrate with Gil Meche as they had the biggest smiles on their faces that I've ever seen a player and manager have on the mound. It was a beautiful sight, especially since I'd just woken up. I always remember things like the first day I met my wife, the birth of my 2 children, and course the Konerko slam in the series in person. However that phrase doesnt come to mind when remembering the Freaking KC Royals playing a team outside of the whitesox.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 07:45 PM) I can only hope that quote is to push Josh. I think they might have made a mistake in just handing the job over to BA with really no competition, and they feel they got burned by it. At least I hope thats what it is.... Why exactly is Darin starting pretty much everyday. If he wasnt going to be here, he would be sitting more. We are 2 weeks from the end of the season. Do all of these players need so much rest?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 07:37 PM) This organization has made some bonehead moves, but there is NO way that happens. I really will be shocked to see Darin back in any capacity next season. However, I said the same thing about Pods after 06.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 07:35 PM) Floyd has been the victim of bad defense already in this game. Its hard not to miss Crede with plays like that. The big one was the ball just going off of Dye's glove in RF.

My worst case scenario for next year. The sox resign Erstad, and he goes into a competition with Fields for LF. Fields out hits him, but Ozzie just loves him some grinder so they send Fields back down to AAA because they dont want to waste him on the bench.

Nice to see we are getting the shadow starter regular ABs while Konerko gets some rest so he can be on top of his golf game in 2 weeks. Erstad will be back, and will be a starter.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 07:21 PM) Bad Floyd showed up today. Gload is such a solid hitter, we really missed him on the bench this year. What makes you think that Gload would of played on our team. We played Timo at first instead of bringing him up before. He never played last year.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 01:30 PM) So I guess im the only sicko on the site.... I am just waiting for the Jessica Alba / Christina Aguilera. The Christina one cannot have her ferret of a a husband. In fact, if there was a sex tape of both of them together that would be outstanding.

Horrible

Well he will have to find another creative lawyer, and stupid jury to get him off now. Maybe he can use the Chewbacca defense.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Sep 16, 2007 -> 10:40 PM) I don't want to ruin the 500 homer thread, so I'll say this here. Sportscenter has been on for half an hour now, and there hasn't even been the slightest mention of Thome's milestone. I don't like to use this term too often, but this is a disgrace. This is an absolute disgrace and I am personally offended that they show absolutely no respect to a man as great as Thome. The guy is a saint in a sport full of scumbags, cheaters, and ego-maniacs. But f*** that, I want to know what Bill Belichick is going to do now that he's been fined half a million dollars. ESPN continues to sink lower and lower. The Yanks are playing the Red Cubs. Do you think there are reporters outside of the New England area tonight that even know other games are going on.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 10:38 PM) Well, I thought it would be odd if you were taking offense at the mock-porn, since we've had a couple of small back-and-forths in the chatroom and, uh, I thought you took some rather offensive material well, but I wanted to make sure. I do know that there are some people b****ing about the "porn" being shown on this show. Glad you're not one of them. Good advice, though? Go hardcore if you want porn and stop settling for that soft HBO s***. I dont know if anyone goes to TV or anything for porn. Thats what the internet is for.

This guy gives hard working cops a bad name. This is a guy, with low self esteem who needs to bully people to feel in control. These types are the ones that irritate me a lot. One of these douchebags resonates more in peoples memory than 100 good stories of great cops who do their job everyday. This guy causes more harm to his fellow men in blue than he could possibly imagine. Hopefully he is no longer a cop soon.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 05:18 PM) If I'm misreading him, fine, but it very much seems like he's complaining -- why isn't it censored? Oh, they're the ones who showed Lovelace sucking dick. I'm just saying, Yo, it's HBO. You pay for it. You have a good idea what you're getting. Are you seriously complaining that HBO is not censored? The bible channel, you crack me up Pratt. Ask people who have been in game chat, and some of the conversations the chat crew has had over the years, if porn or nudity offends me. LOL HBO for years has been the tame sex, almost less than Skin-e-max. Now they are showing mock penetration. It doesnt offend me, I just think its funny how over the last say 3 years they have went down this road. Maybe now Cathouse will actually show something worthwhile. Or the pornucopia will start to be more interesting.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 10:08 PM) But even beyond that, at this point in their careers Iguchi is a better player than Richar, how much better is of course a matter of opinion but I think we can agree that Iguchi is better. So what is the point? Iguchi is better, what does that have to do with anything? Who cares? Oh I agree. But its the typical, former whitesox love. Can we just bring back player X. If we bring back player X we will be so much better, new player Y isnt as good as player X was.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 09:59 PM) Point being? Duh, you can so predict a players worth in less than 300ABs. If they havent hit .350 and hit 12 dongs in 150AB, they are junk. I love how he can project the 37 year old gooch as well at the end of his 4 years.

The Goracle and his eco friendly private jet. There was some commercial options, but maybe he needed some private prep time to tell us how to ride our bikes to work, or to build our houses out of hay.

I am sure that Donny will be open to this.

Jim at Sox Machine on Greg Walker. I find it interesting that Iguchi started to hit at a higher rate shortly after going to the Phillies. Then you have Rowand, Ordonez, basically when people leave they hit better.
