In previous seasons, I would be completely devastated by each loss. Now I just don't care at all.

Prince Fielder has 24 home runs? s***

Fields is always finding himself behind in the count. Which I'm sure he wasn't used to in Charlotte. He's gotta start turning some of these get-me-over pitches around before anyone will be intimidated.

Does that mean you think Konerko is overpaid?

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 16, 2007 -> 05:24 PM) How the hell can anyone feel one way or another about this trade? Prospect for prospect. 24-year-old for A-baller. Who cares. Nothing to look twice at. If this means Iguchi is out the door sooner rather than later, maybe this trade develops some sort of significance...if not, I really couldn't care less. For a team with a serious lack of minor league depth, we definitely have a right to feel slightly uncomfortable with this trade. Cunningham would be considered a better prospect than Richar in any circle, so this isn't something I will just shrug off. Granted Cunningham is young, but he's a career .300 hitter with improving power, and our outfield situation at the moment is quite sketchy. The only thing worse is our middle-infield, which obviously is why KW made the trade. That doesn't mean we have make a reach of a trade to fill the gaping hole. But I have a lot of trust in KWs talent evaluation, so I will wait and see how this one pans out. My initial reaction is disappointment.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 16, 2007 -> 12:25 PM) Milledge and Pelfrey is definitely a good starting point. From there I think you look for some high upside guys in the lower levels. If we could somehow nab Deolis Guerra as well, that would be amazing.

I for one would be happy to oblige Jessica Alba just wants sex

I don't have one of my own, but there is a great story that happened to my friend. He broke up with this real clingy girl after she moved to Houston. She immediately drove all the way to my buddy's house in Austin right after the breakup. A bunch of us were hanging out at his house and out of nowhere we see her staring at us from the deck outside, it was freaky like a horror movie. My friend opens the sliding door to let her in and ask what the hell she is doing. She grabs his laptop off the kitchen table, raises it above her head and says, "do you want to do this the easy way, or the hard way?". He says, "the easy way I guess, put down my computer". After this I see her place the laptop back down where it was, grab some black object out of her pocket, and proceed to pepper-spray the f*** out of my buddy's eyes and face area in general. He fell to the ground, she pounced on him screaming obsenities, and moments later a bunch of us grab the b**** and kick her ass out of there. Unfortunately she wasn't done, she grabbed a planter and chucked it at his truck, leaving a massive dent. I had and most likely will never see a crazier event as the result of a breakup.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 10, 2007 -> 08:43 PM) WhiteStripes album comes out this week. Did they push the release up a week? I thought it was 6/19..

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 10, 2007 -> 10:55 AM) He's one of the best if you're going by wins solely, sure. I don't think he's top twenty if you're going by wins + other details, like Ks, WHIP, etc. etc. The only category he obviously is lacking in is Ks. That's it. But, he is not a strikeout pitcher, he pitches to contact. And the good thing about this is he doesn't need to go deep into many counts like strikeout pitchers obviously do. It allows him to throw less pitchers per innings and more innings per start than most. Since 2005, he ranks third in IP/GS among AL pitchers. Oh, and he is top 20 in WHIP in this time period. Also top 20 in BB9, and W/GS. Top 10 in these categories if you consider AL pitchers only. Pitcher w/ > 400 IP since 2005

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 10, 2007 -> 08:34 AM) You can't "outsmart" a hitter with one good pitch. You can however be one of the best pitchers in baseball for over two years and running. Go figure.

There was a quick swing from Fields

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 09:37 AM) he was a little sensationalist in his claims, but he had some great ideas and was way ahead of his time. The post-it was a great idea, inventing a system to utilitze alternating current instead of DC is revolutionary.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 06:30 PM) Anybody got a scouting report on Middlebrooks? Why is he slipping so far? I read he takes academics seriously, so there may be signability concerns.

Middlebrooks available, we're up

Sickles ranked Middlebrooks as the 11th best hitter in this draft. I guess he didn't play in one of the stronger Texas HS conferences. I'm not sure why he keeps slipping. He was supposed to be a steal in the 2nd round...

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 05:26 PM) I'm liking the scouting report from MiLB. Is he committed to a big time school, Texas U or Rice perhaps, that's scaring teams away? Or is he repped by Boras? Must be one of those. He's a phenominal athlete. Batted almost .600, had an ERA around 0.70 this year. Stud football player too. Most projected him to go in the supplemental round

Wow Middlebrooks is still available? Would be a great pick this late.

Was hoping Jess Todd would be available for our third round pick.

Is DJ stoned?

Where's our Egbert interview?
