well remember this is like starting lineup only....but god damn who said defense wins championships?

As long as they keep the gong for shingo, i dont really care

I don't really care who he gets, as long as he's capable and not overpaid.

amen to that

I got bored so I decided to take stats from some World Series winners, and play with them. First I determined the "core" players. (Players that played nearly every game, or were main part of team when not injured) Then I averaged all of the core players' stats to get a typical winning player's statistics. .282 18 HR 82 RBI .352 OBP .452 SLG 12 SB

that's awful...

Edwin McCain - Scream and Whisper Rascal Flatts - Feels Like Today

damn there goes my day plans....

actual score - 81-74...and it was a comfortable 81-74

I'm a big Duke fan, but I'm pretty sure our expectations are a bit high. Top 10 ranking but we ain't getting respect? We'll talk after we play some ACC teams. GO DUKE!!

ouch.

i think you're thinking of karim garcia

i was kind of surprised the sox would let them go. glad to see they kept them

im talking physical ability here. he has good stuff, and his good stuff could win him 20 games

hey now there really is a reason for optimism

For some reason I can see him running up to the catcher and kicking him in the balls.

man we would have been in a hole just for fourth starter, not to mention 5th

one thing the white sox dont have that some other teams have (see the cubs) is the coolness of going to the game. going to a white sox game isnt considered "cool." even when the cubs suck, its still the cool thing to do to go to the game and get drunk

thanks, i've been wondering what those numbers would be

well he wont really be doing the leading, but the extra ten wins he'll give us will give us the playoff berth and dependable 3rd starter

I like making bold predictions, and i think that garland has the ability to win 20 games (dont get me wrong he may win 11 games and continue to be the most hated man in our rotation)

Hell I hate the guy but I think if he steps it up this year he will have 20+ wins. If that happens, and everyone else works up to expectations, we'll go to the playoffs

Buehrle - 21 wins Garcia - 18 wins Garland - 20 wins (something he's completely capable of) Contreras - 13 wins El Duque - 11 wins (he wont get very many starts, ebing in the fifth spot) 83 wins by our starting rotation, call me crazy but garland could surprise us all this year, and could be the missing link that will bring us to the world series

IMHO, Willie should rarely start unless he's giving Uribe a rest. Quite frankly, I want Eckstein at short and Uribe at 2B. And the less of No Hit Willie I see, the better.

i like that we're at least willing to change and show some kind of commitment to winning....some teams would have just thrown in the towel and traded for prospects by now....
