QUOTE(Spiff @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) I'm pretty sure he's not. Booya. -New York Observer.

Next time somebody sees KW, just say Schmidt and see if he giggles. That may be the only way to get to the bottom of this.

QUOTE(marsh @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 11:55 AM) The way cotts has come on this year the Sox may very well think marte is expendable. Eh I still think this is crazy talk.

Yeah I'm pretty sure he's like 30 or 29.

The former.

There had better be some money involved because Schmidt isn't cheap and Alfonzo is making 7.5 mil this year.

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 10:07 AM) For every one thing that made me chuckle.... there were like 10 things that made me feel embarassed for that kid He's actually 30 years old.

Howard loves the minor leagues. He has an 1176 OPS as we speak. I wasn't impressed with what I saw of him at the majors, but to be fair that was an incredibly small sample size.

Your sig might be in violation. Not sure though.

QUOTE(Stephen @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 01:24 AM) I definately would feel better if we picked up another ace. You make it seem like they grow on trees.

How in the hell do we plan on acquiring anybody halfway decent with that many untouchables?

Maybe Florida still remembers that blast off Benitez? :wink:

This thread needs more of my sig.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) Why was Willie an ass? What did he do? Just curious... Has anyone on this board ever been impressed after meeting him?

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 03:58 PM) McCarthy is pitching Wednesday? I guess 2 out of 3 ain't bad... Hehe careful, that kind of talk will get you lynched here.

Our grass is so dry it hurts to walk on with barefeet.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 03:22 PM) Crede's understated humor also serves as a small part of the family atmosphere Hermanson described.

Tie between Arrested Development (yay season 3) and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 01:26 PM) Good point, I wasn't really thinking about it like that. I'd think about Schmidt vs. Chavez, but Chavez vs. Burnett is no comparison IMO. Burnett's only pitched above 200 innings once in his career, and is a career ERA+ of 109. A half season of Burnett, to me, is not worth five years of Brandon McCarthy + five years of Ryan Sweeney. Yeah if we're just talking Burnett here, then I agree wholeheartedly with you.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) If we're gonna give up B-Mac and one of our top two OF'ers (Sweeney or Anderson), we might as well be looking at getting Chavez from the A's rather than Burnett. An everyday position player is going to help this team (in the long run) a whole lot more than a guy who pitches every fifth day. Not trying to take anything away from Burnett, but if you're giving up two of your top prospects, go the extra mile and do what it takes to get Chavez. It depends who the man is that is pitching every fifth day. In your head it doesn't make sense that someone who plays 30 games could contribute as much as someone who plays five times that amount, but I think they can. For example, if we were to land Schmidt somehow, his value to this team might be greater than that of Chavez. They both had 19 win shares in 2004. But a quality pitcher might be a greater upgrade over injured Duque/swingman/? than Chavez would be over Crede.

The timo hardcore sig should win some kind of Soxtalk award.

it's so beautiful...

QUOTE(Be Good @ Jun 26, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) OMG we lost a series, the sky is falling. Guys The Sox are a baseball team and baseball team lose series even the best teams. This applies well for a series loss at Fenway or something. That's a series loss you really don't think twice about. This was a series loss to the Cubs at home ended by one of this year's poorest offensive performances. Saturday's showing was not up to par either. I don't know about anyone else but I was really hoping for a different showing from the "new" White Sox these last two games, which are the closest we could get to a playoff-like atmosphere. Probably not going to draw matches against any Sergio Mitre's in the ALDS, don't you think?

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 26, 2005 -> 10:16 PM) He probably took your wallet. And your manhood.

I didn't think Prior's stuff looked that great.
