I read in today's paper that Kansas and UConn might soon join in on trying to recruit Derrick Rose.

Fantastic, we bring in AJ for a blowout finally. Wrong move Ozzie.

TIM REDDING BABY!

TRADE JERMAINE!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 4, 2006 -> 04:15 AM) It looks like the Chandler for Brown and Smith deal is going to go down. If I'm Otis Smith, I try to sell John Paxson the idea of doing a DeShawn Stevenson for J.R Smith sign and trade deal. Stevenson doesn't look like he's going to re-sign with the Magic and he wants $4-5M a season for about 4. The reason I suggest this and why I think it would make sense for the Bulls is because it would be beneficial for you to have a defensive stopper at SG, so you can let Ben Gordon become instant offense off the bench again. He's got the perfect size at 6'5 and I think it would make a lot of sense for both teams. Don't know if I could see Smith and Gordon co-existing on the same team when they both play the same position. Gordon will be our starting SG. Paxson has already said that.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 11:40 PM) AJ is far and away my favorite player on this team, I'll be damned if I'm just gonna sit back and watch some other f***ers kick the s*** out of him in this final vote. AJ deserves this s*** for being AJ, the White Sox fans owes it to him, has there ever been a player who came to the Sox and endeared himself to the fanbase quicker than AJ? He has been nothing but great for the Sox on and off the field since comming here last offseason, that guy loves this fanbase and these fans need to show that they feel the same way. That was beautiful man. I'm voting AJ. Just voted for him 30 times within the past 15 minutes. I shall keep voting dammit and we will make our mark! Just make deals with Dodger fans, Met fans, Philly, Milwaukee and San Diego fans as well.

I don't like to hear that Buehrle made the All-Star game. That's a crock.

Politte sucks. Last year was a fluke year. There was a stat last year showing he was the most dependent player on his defense. Well, if you keep the ball high, no way the defense will bail you out since the ball will be reaching the warning track at the very least.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 03:22 PM) And with 2 pitches we get 2 outs. 3 pitches, 3 outs.

Throw Crede in there. We have to. The game hangs in the balance right here.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 02:54 PM) Hypothetical? How many threads would ABOZ have created if this outing was a JG outing? When does MB get a clever nickname like Judy? After all, he's the pitcher who allows the truly big innings, and never pitches over the defensive lapses behind him. How dare you go at Mark Buehrle The Great like that. HANG HIM! I'd like to suggest, Mary.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 02:54 PM) On the other hand, this is an ideal place to let Cliff "the Gas Can" Politte get some work. That wouldn't be shabby either. Instead David Riske is warming.

Why let Buehrle sit? I'd tell his ass, "I'm not burning my bullpen because you put together a s*** outing against a s*** team."

Game over. A 2-run Jack by the pitcher and a 3-run Jack by the 8th hitter. Mark Buehrle is s***ting the bed.

I think if they're going to give Crede a day off, they're better playing Uribe at 3B and Cintron at SS.

They need to mock Zambrano now so he gets pissed and starts serving up s*** like that.

Nice job Mack.

PLEASE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:41 PM) Did Iguchi decide to not play today? I mean seriously where the hell was he on either of those plays? That's my question. He looks like he's dogging it out there right now. Especially on that last play. It should've never made it past him, but he didn't look like he really tried to pick up the ball. At least I'll be getting money from bodog for this game.

I'd do it, but I don't think it would happen at all.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 10:48 AM) westchester is not chicago. Weber shouldn't try in Illinois then because he's losing a ton of them. So as far as sporst are concerned, the Illini have a great coach who sucks donkey balls at recruiting and a sucky football coach who could recruit with the best of them. Maybe they should spend more time together.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 12:58 PM) Where did that same optimism in August and September get us? I'm not saying optimism is bad at all. In fact, I promote optimism. I get mad though when people just brush off our real team problems. Our pitching is not looking good at all.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 08:47 AM) These kinds of posts make me laugh. You HAVE to take 3 of 3? On the road? Do bad teams like PIT and KC go 0-162? OR even 40-122? No. They win 60 games or so, maybe more. Do good teams like the Sox or DET go 13-0 against KC? No, of course not - they might go 10-3. Bad teams beat good teams on occasion. We won two of three, and almost won the third, on the road, without our DH. What is the problem here? Times like this, we need to remember the axiom: every team wins a third of their games and loses a third. Its what you do with the other third that makes the difference. We have the 2nd best record in baseball, and its late June. I am soooooo not worried. No, but teams like the Pirates and KC don't play the two best teams in baseball or defending champs 162 games in a row. The type of optimism reminds me that of the Red Sox fans optimism last year. They were flamboyant and cocky saying, "We got this. Don't worry. We'll turn it around." all the way into October. Where did it get them again? Oh yeah, a first round sweep.

I've read a couple of pages in this thread and I must say, I don't think this has to do with pessimistic fans. I see SSI talking about how we fkd up by not taking all 3 and he's one of the most optimistic fans around here IMO. Fact is, you have to take 3 of 3 from the worst team in baseball. Especially when you consider yourself the best team in baseball, you're supposed to be the best team in baseball, and you're trying to win a division.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 04:21 PM) It wouldn't happen until Mid-July because of Salary cap issues. What salary cap issues? I've heard TC is included in the trade which means we could make it work. I don't think we're doing it simply because I don't think KG will ever be anything else other than a TWolve, but it's possible.
