You seem reasonably intelligent , good vocabulary, grammar , etc. Does your whole mood depend entirely on White Sox baseball ? Why the name calling ? Usually a new member with get a warm welcome because we all love the Sox but you seem intent on acting like a jackass. Your whole attitude is negative from your screen name to all your comments. Go beat your dog or something because you will need to do something once you get booted from here.

On the fun side of things , it was fun listening to Blackjack singing during the rain delay on MLB.tv.

Game today officially postponed. Doubleheader in August.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 25, 2005 -> 02:14 AM) I disagree about Iguchi. You have to remember that the Japanese baseball season is not as long as MLB, plus the extreme difference in travel amounts here. Add to that the fact that he's constantly making adjustments to new ballparks, new pitchers, new circumstances. That kind of stuff can wear a player down physically and mentally over the long hual. Ozzie is trying to keep fresh and keep him sharp. You have to think about all those games we still have vs. Minnesota late in the year. We want a still effective Iguchi for those games. Ozzie has to think about more than just today's game as he's managing this team. As usual you are the voice of reason Yas. ( Do you know how much I hate that ? ) You can sure tell the graybeards on Soxtalk , patient , used to the ebb and flow of the season. No panic in you, just fatherly reassurance.

QUOTE(3E8 @ May 27, 2005 -> 10:48 AM) That means happy bday Jeff Bagwell too. Two HOF'ers born on the same day of the same year? And with eerily similar lifetime stats too. Happy B day big guy !!

Your links arent working JG.

Just listened to the tail end of it and that Earl Weaver profanity laced rant about why the Orioles dont get more speed is priceless . I wish I had it recorded. The music aint bad either.

Dont forget Egypt.

Welcome aboard Chisoxtime :fthecubs

If Beane wants to get rid of Zito he'll find some sucker club to give up a few talented, near major league ready prospects. After all he's still young, a left hander and a Cy Young winner. But it wont be the Sox. We're just not into high priced slumping talent but I'll add if the price was right (No BMAC, Sweeney, Anderson, Fields) and we can dump a salary (Konerko?) he'd be worth a gamble.

I think El Duque just has a tired arm. I saw him smiling in his last start when they were about to take him out and he was smiling on the bench Friday. Doesn't seem to be the behavior of a guy who's hurting much. Maybe he had some kinda freak accident after the game today. But combine a tired arm with the fact the Cubs are a light hitting team and the conditions for a successful start are good. The Sox are well aware that BMac can handle the pressure though this will be a huge test to keep his composure.

Good job Jason with all your work in FutureSox. I 'd like to publicly thank you for the Sox/Angels tix for Monday. If I manage to go to another game during the series I'll tell u which one so I can shake your hand and thank u in person. Best Regards Ron

The ASG is 1 1/2 months away is it not ? No one is a lock at this point.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ May 18, 2005 -> 10:13 AM) Long, but good article on Jon and Co. Great article. I love those people behind the player articles. In this case seems his mom is an amazingly knowlegdeable women about baseballand one hell of a mother.

Dye was actually Jermaine to the outcome of the game.

I call him Dusty

I am so impressed with Gooch. I 'm just amazed at how well he has done. If he wasn't such a good number 2 hitter I wouldnt mind seeing him get more opportunities for RBI. If Paulie and Deadeye Dye continue to slump putting Iguchi # 5 or 6 should be considered . But how the hell can you take him outta the 2 hole when he has been perfect ? Let's hope Frank's return sparks a return to form for Paulie. With all the chances he's had to knock in runs he could be leading the league if his average was .260.

I've never had the opportunitiy nor the inclination to hang with atheletes. However, I was driving north on the 5 freeway in L.A. county a few ago and saw a silver BMW with the license plate "Say Hey 2". Figured it was Willie Mays or a Willie Mays fan. He exited the freeway where I did and pulled into a Shell station. I followed and figured I better be extremely nice cause he has a rep of being surly. Buttered him up saying him and Mantle were the 2 best centerfielders of all time and asked for an autograph. He growled back "Do you mind if I get my gas first " ? After he got his gas he gave me his autograph. "Best wishes Willie Mays". Not a bad experience. Quite a while ago I was in a little bar next to the Pantages theater in Hollywood when Muhamed Ali walked in followed by many people. He was out in public after having recently saved someone life. I couldn't get close to him but being rather tall, he caught my eye in the mirror behind the bar and said "Don't gimme no trouble big guy" in that typical Ali wide-eyed way. I stammered back being caught totally off guard that he spoke to me "don't worry I won't. " The bartender got me his autograph after that.

He's got a single, a double and a walk and scored 2 runs.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 13, 2005 -> 08:25 PM) RANGERS RALLYING Also, BUEHRLE, PODS, KONERKO, GOOCH, HERMANSON...YES How can you ,of all people, forget Willie? Yessss !

Don't forget Willie . He had a ribbie.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ May 13, 2005 -> 07:35 PM) PWNED'D. Since it's the Orioles , O-wned !!!!!

If Frank plays any more games at first for the rest of his career I will be shocked. He's had 2 season ending injuries there. He's more immobile now then he ever was before and he never could throw. That being said I can't wait to see him back in the lineup at DH. I didn't vote in the poll because, as a number of you have pointed out, once he's back, we 'll have a round robin of playing time between Frank, Carl, Paulie, Aaron, Jermaine and Pods though mostly between Frank ,Carl and Dye. The power off the bench will really be strengthened by Frank's return as will our ability to score runs from the every day lineup.

I'm just glad we caught the Twins when Morneau was injured. He's a freakin' stud.
