QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 01:52 PM) Walker was asked about Ozzie trying to send a message in Tampa and Walker said he thought Ozzie was just angry. I thought he was just angry too. But considering TB had won 17 out of their last 19 at home , I wasn't terribly upset with the results. The Sox played them very competitively and it was good baseball if not good hitting. It's possible Oz wanted to say something right before the big stretch of home games we're playing to upset the apple cart slightly to create an atmosphere of urgency ,but I doubt he gave it that much thought. But on the other hand you never know.

To quote Flounder from "Animal House".. "Oh, boy, is this great!! "

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 04:06 PM) I wish we could dig up the response thread from when Kenny Williams said "It puts them(Detroit) in position to compete with us" after the Miguel Cabrera trade. Im sure there are some great quotes I think Kenny said that in jest or with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Maybe KW would never admit it but I doubt in his wildest dreams he imagined Joe, Alexei, Gavin , Q and Danks all having the kind of years they are so far. For that matter either could many of us. I was hoping 1 or 2 of them could contribute but nothing like it has been.

QUOTE (Cubano @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 04:38 PM) I love the White Sox, but I live in WV close to D.C. I hate the Orioles and the Nats or Senators has a rich history with cubans. I like for him to sign with a bad team so he can be in the big leagues soon. I do not want him to sign with a big market team. Jamie Torres is a good agent and unlike other agents he tells his cuban clients that sometimes signing with a so so team is better than a big market club. Less money upfront but later on you are rewarded because you can shine with the bad team and make the big bucks once you are a free agent. I don't know how old you are but Zoilo Versalles signed with the then Washington Senators in 1958 and led the Twins to their 1st World Series win in 1965 and was named A.L. MVP. I know he was Cuban ( he passed away in 1995) Who else have the Nats/Senator signed out of Cuba ?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 04:04 PM) Not unless somehow God touched the heart of Scott Boras, made his heart grow 3 sizes that day, and convinced Joe to be extended first. Every Who Down in Who-ville Liked Christmas a lot... But the Grinch, Who lived just north of Who-ville, Did NOT! The Grinch hated Christmas! The Whole Christmas season! Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. But I think that the most likely reason of all May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

Judging by the amount of posts in this thread eating crow is not a favorite thing to do. Give Kenny his due. He's doing a good job.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 06:02 AM) I heard it was actually Ray Durham in 1999. Anyways, just for snorts and giggles, Crede is on pace for 37 homers and 104 RBI. This is from the Sox website ..."The third baseman is the first White Sox player to hit two home runs in back-to-back games since his predecessor, Greg Norton, did it on May 27-28, 1999, against Detroit."

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 09:33 AM) quentin and hamilton, that woulda been nuts. From what I recall just about every team had a shot to pick up Hamilton either after Tampa Bay got rid of him or as a rule 5 draftee. I think the Cubs actually picked him up and sent him off to Cincy . It's all in this week's SI article about him. I just don't remember all the details. Here's the link. Its a good read. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writ...7/hamilton0602/

Congrats !!! My 2 are both in college now. Time flies so enjoy every minute and get a camcorder if you don't already have one.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 11:59 PM) Anybody else a huge Joe Crede fan? Maybe Joe is what the team was missing last year. Joe Crede is a fricking great baseball player. Two bombs two nights in a row?? You are kidding me. Last Sox player to do that was Greg Norton. Only 3 players have done it now in Sox history. Crede now tied with Q in slugging% at .561.

11 runs , 16 hits without any contribution from Quentin. WOW ! Crede now tied with Q for the team lead in slugging pct. at .561.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 07:02 PM) Post in my WHITE SOX WINNER thread. I've made every one on the winning streak, no jinxes! I got the 15 inning one . Wasn't that part of the streak ?

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 08:37 PM) I Think Konerko Missed Home Plate The Royals should appeal... Ha good one !

QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 08:36 PM) Hat off to Jimmie and Paulie, they delivered tonight. And to Ramirez with his 4 great barehanded plays.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 08:31 PM) Hell ya. Need a huge game from Count tomorrow, as this pen is just about done. Theres always Loazia.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 08:31 PM) 15 Ha yea I know i was excited.

Paulie ! Thome ! Crede ! The mf'in bullpen besides Jenks . Dotel ! oops someone fix the title. I can't type.

I just wanted to say that this thread is one of the best this year . Watching Alexei has been so much fun lately and Cubano you should be working for the Sox in an advisory capacity. I think you should email Kenny Williams the link to this thread. Oh and Cuban woman are some of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. !

Tha battle of the admin's. Drama ! Intrigue ! Suspense ! Madness !

Alexei lookin better every day.
