If that's the case, maybe the Sox should be thinking about moving.

QUOTE(Colorado Sox Fan @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 10:16 PM) I was thinking the same thing. I tell you what, I was going to bust my ass to get there tonight, but this whole thing turned me off. Go ahead shower me with criticism. I'll be there tomorrow night, but this attitude has me thinking twice about these ballplayers and lack of appreciation for Sox fans--the best baseball fans on the f-ing planet!! I don't know. I tend to agree with Sox players on this one. People say, "well there's work and all this other stuff." Yeah, but I don't see any other team in the league making excuses. I certainly don't see the Cubs, or the Angels or any other team that's playing well making excuses. I say it's time to stop making excuses here. If you aren't going, just say "I'm not showing up, period." With the lack of support for this team(best in the league as I hear so much around here), the attendance for this series certainly didn't show it. Our players need to learn how to play in front of big crowds and they certainly aren't getting the experience here at home.

It was reported as false by a higher up in the Boston organization I believe. It's on RealGm.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) His change is good because of his fastball. His Curve is a + pitch, which means it doesn't necessarily rely on the fastball to be an affective pitch. Ahh, So that's why it got hung over the green monster by Tony Graffinino.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 06:34 PM) ...calculus is dumb and stupid and i hate it. explain to me why i need to take this for a business major? I thought you only had to take Business Calculus. At least at UIC, that's all you gotta take when it comes to Calc for Business Majors. That isn't bad at all. I've known people who've passed that without a problem.

QUOTE(kman @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) laparka nice, im surprised any1 knew him on here. Heck yeah. WCW had the best cruiserweight division ever with him and Pyschosis and Juvi and Rey, etc. BTW, Congrats to AJ. Now his little girl could see him help his team win the WS.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 06:31 PM) Searching through our archives, I found one thread which discussed receiving 2003 playoff tickets the 19th of September. I have to believe, if history is any indication, we'll find out within the week. For your other questions, I've never known of anyone who's camped outside the park for White Sox tickets. Honestly, I wouldn't mind doing it myself if the weather was reasonable and no exams were scheduled the following day. If I recall correctly, tickets went on sale two years ago during a weekday--tuesday or wednesday I'd guess. Good thing about going to UIC is if I'd ever consider camping out I'd only have to travel 10 minutes to school. You & me both man. GO FLAMES!!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) You can't rank a draft after half a season. Okay, 2 consecutive #1 picks have stuggled IMHO. Fields and Broadway.

I think he should get another shot with another team. He seemed competent in his job, but was dealt a bad job. Instead of folding and being a benchcoach until another offer popped up, he decided to take that job. He never was given a team in which you could say was going to compete for even half the year.

QUOTE(OilCan @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 09:25 AM) Brent Barry, Manu Ginobili and Michael Finley can spell Bruce Bowen at the 3. Talk about flexibility. Don't forget to add Devin Brown, a San Antonio/UTSA native, to the mix as well. Brown is a RFA that would look DAMN good in a Bulls uniform, IMO. Scoring, defense and size (6'5"). Maybe Eddie Basden will be a Devin Brown clone. If that's the case, WOW. And...the Spurs drafted Romain Sato from Xavier last year that spent the whole year on IR for an "injury". 8 guards. Definitely bet that one or two will be traded. Having a Devin Brown-Ben Gordon battle at the 2 would be very interesting. Devin Brown signed an offer sheet with Utah. I don't think the Spurs were going to match, last time I checked. I forgot about Bruce Bowen though as well. There's going to be a logjam.

QUOTE(OilCan @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 09:27 AM) But wait....is that Central Time??? Seriously, I bet the Hornets will be playing in either OKC, Baton Rouge or KC. The Saints will be playing in SA. Can you imagine trying to redo the Saints' calendar after LSU Tiger games? Can you imagine what that field would be like? Sho' is CT. Anyway, LSU wouldn't have to reschedule their games. NFL plays on Sundays. Most college games are on Saturdays.

Juan Tamayo

Joe Crede...YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

Well I think Bill Melton mentioned that Uribe had recently added a little leg kick to get his timing down so he doesn't swing out of control. I think it's working so far. I'll have to watch for it next time he plays.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 01:19 PM) AJ did not travel with the team for this game. his wife is expecting a baby today i believe Oh, I thought he simply wasn't playing. Win the game anyway.

s***. There goes my chances with Dergan.

Tony Graffinino = Sox Killer. Why isn't AJ catching Jenks?

f***

This is one long ass game.

1)BMac won't be in the playoff rotation unless 2 of our starting pitchers are hurt. 2)4 man(when necessary) 3)If he's doing better than Contreras, then yes, but as it stands, no. 4)Yes, unless FG is pitching lights out.

That's pathetic to not be able to score that runner on 3rd with 3 full outs to work with.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 07:08 AM) I actually think the Sox's system will drop. This year's draft class, led by Lance Broadway, has not had a standout performance like some of the 2004 draftees did last year (Gonzalez, Liotta). The minors are extremely outfield-heavy in prospects, which are a dime a dozen in any case. The Sox minors are short at SS (with Valido the only real prospect), 2B (none really pop out) and 3B (Fields has high K's, low AVG., worrisome for someone who will need to compete at higher levels). C is weak as well. Pretty much. I also see us dropping. We did pretty bad with this year's draft IMO.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 09:01 AM) You certainly are clairvoyant. Wanna predict whether the sun rises tomorrow? 6:22AM where I live.

I don't know. On paper I still like the Heat alot more. Manu will probably go back to the bench(though still play heavy minutes) because Pop likes using him as a sparkplug off the bench. Their guard rotation doesn't have many minutes to go around though. Van Exel Finley Barry Parker Ginobli Udrih Someone is going to be riding the bench hard and someone else won't see the light of day. Anyway, the Bulls were interested, but Finley said what Hammerhead said, he wanted to go to the place that would give him the best shot at a title.

Told you guys that they were thinking about playing at LSU. I think that's their pick. I certainly would do it.
