I like 1.10 even better.

I like 2.85 better.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 09:09 AM) Great story, good for you and happy belated b-day. Hang onto the girlfriend, she sounds like a definite keeper. Don't keep her, give her to me.

Buehrle when people start scoring on him because I want him to get his six innings. Carl in left field. Willie and Timo in center. Timo in right/left.

I loved Luther. RIP

I think it's terrible that they couldn't give any money to the people in Africa. Any little amount could have helped.

And probably avoiding political/controversial topics would be good.

He had to get off the juice sooner or later.

Maggs is like that pesky ex girlfriend. You really wanna like her, but you know you can't.

What did he mean rule because of Scotty?

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 11:03 PM) Detroit could send White, Guillen, Young, or Bonderman (listed in order I'd take them) Cleveland will probably send Hafner, but could also send Cliff Lee (#s are close to Garcia's, but slightly worse) Tampa Bay should send Cantu Kansas City doesn't deserve an all-star, but the closest thing they have is Emil Brown. Detroit - what about pudge?

I'd like to see my boy Griffey in it again.

I compare Japan baseball to what AAAA would be.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 10:20 AM) That is the only paragraph that matters in here. Its the only reason baseball got off of their collective asses about drug testing... they were afraid if Congress got involved they could lose their antitrust exemptions, which right now are causing more harm than good IMO. Sorry to sound retarded, but anti-trust exemptions?

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 26, 2005 -> 10:10 AM) i hated the play just as much as you. But if one of our guys had done it, we would have loved him for it. He plays hard, he plays to win, he added the fire to his team that made them winners. In that case though, there was no need for it...he was standing away from the plate and didn't have the ball.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 26, 2005 -> 12:31 PM) His stuff has always looked medicore at best up until this year. His sinker had very little bite on it at all. This year his command and movement on pitches has been 180 from years past. I am afraid that he is gonna have a career year and get paid a kings ransom ( last year of arb and they will lock him up if he has a good career) and he will go back to his mediocore self. It happens all the time around baseball... i don't see why it can't happen to us. Garland has always had some of the best stuff on the staff. His command was rarely stellar, but his main problem was someone would hit off him and then he'd start nit-picking, trying to hit a corner instead of pounding the zone. The biggest difference IMO this year is that AJ has him throwing inside, something he rarely did in the past. I think this is no fluke, because most of what has changed was between the ears.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Jun 25, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) I got a better one for em: The Sox went up to the dome to take on the Twins at their home They took 2 of 3 emerged with a lead and haven't since let go How's that for pulling something out of your ass? YESSS!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 25, 2005 -> 08:38 AM) Offensively, Frank can do it all except run. I heard when he came back he still could outrun Paulie even with his bad ankle.

QUOTE(winodj @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 10:07 AM) Beat me to that. And me too.

Curry - Size and talent/potential to make any scout/gm drool. Already being proven to be a great scorer, although defense has yet to be seen. I have seen small improvements on defense. They are small, but nonetheless they are improvements. And we aren't sure yet on his heart (both physically and mentally) Chandler - Hustle, work ethic, and desire to make any scout/gm drool. He is taller than Curry, but lacks the mass Curry has. If he gains a lot more massive (20-40 pounds) and can keep that drive, he can be a monster. He is already awesome on defense and on boards so we won't go there. This guy is terrible on offense. Sure, he puts down a monster dunk now and then, but the guy plays like he's 6'6" on offense. He goes to the hole like a lot of guards would against PF's and C's, trying to avoid contact and being afraid to attack (like fading away and throwing up runners) and he can't score like a guard well. So there's a bit left to be desired on both sides.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jun 23, 2005 -> 01:37 AM) Idonno he does have a point, Ozzie seems to get away with a lot of dumb s*** that he says... but i guess the antidote for getting away with dumb s*** is winning He just says so much dumb s*** that the media can't get mad over it all or there wouldn't be anything else to talk about.
