QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 11:48 AM) Do you guys think Braves and Angels fans complain as much about their offenses as we do? They have the players that can snap out of it. Call me when we have a Vlad Guerrero or a Andruw Jones on this team. Until then, they have no reason to complain. And Carl with the baserunning blunder.

QUOTE(heirdog @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 11:13 AM) What's Jon Garland doing sitting in the stands during a game? Eh, Looks more like a Keith Foulke to me.

Thank you Carl. Finally, someone learns how to hit the ball.

Our hitting is flat out pathetic. What happened to all that smallball BS? It's obviously not working.

I like the precision passing, but the QB vision takes time to get used to. The best thing to do is look at all receivers by holding down the R2 button(once the ball is already play) and press your receeivers buttons to look at each one of them. The cone switches fast to those players and it's easier to do checkdowns that way.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 10:43 AM) Bruce interviewed griffey. He didnt sound opposed to the idea of coming to Chicago at ALL. SO LETS GO f***ING GET GRIFFEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIT R DONE K-DUB!

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) No it's not true Junior is a huge asshole and he hates the Sox and JR and the Cell. Junior is too much of an idiot to want to come here. Fix that for ya. Anyway, if the White Sox did want to trade someone on their 40 man roster, couldn't they just put him in as PTBNL and if the guy doesn't clear waiver, just trade him in the offseason?

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 02:37 PM) I just don't want to see Timo starting, period. We already need another big bat in the lineup even w/ Everett in there. Now Gload might not be as good as he appeared last year, but he is definitely more of a threat than Timo. And if Everett is going to be out for an extended period, than Gload is are best option.................I guess what ticks me off more than anything is that we are the best team in baseball, playing the Yankees, in Yankee Stadium, and Timo is batting 5th. These are the games i get pumped up for, and that's the best we can do?? I'm sorry Look at Timo's career numbers against the Yanks. I suggest you then retract your statement. Playing Timo was/is smart against them. Maybe not in the 5 hole, but Timo is useful. You're hating on Timo just to hate on him.

Leave red and white alone. He's a fan like us. He has some points. We're all Sox fans here.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 10:38 AM) If Griffey is placed on waivers, I gaurantee with 100% certainty that the New York Yankees will NOT claim in. They simply do not want to spend the money on a 36 year old CFer when they're planning on making a run at a CFer in the offseason + pitching and offer DLee $100M+ after the '06 season. If they picked up Griffey they won't be able to afford alll this. Most of their player's salaries are going way up over the next 3 years. The Yankees do not have unlimited money, otherwise Shawn Chacon would not be starting for them tonight. Listen to this man. He knows what he's talking about.

I think Dye should've batted ahead of Timo, but I'm not mad that Timo played last night or if he plays today or tommorow since he generally does good against the Yanks.

Griffey.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 09:22 PM) Timo is 1 for 11 lifetime against Moose. That comes out to a whopping .091BA. There was no real reason to bat him 5th outside of Ozzies love for alernating leftys and righties for matchups late in the game. Which again doesnt make any sense because Mo is harder against lefties than he is against righties. And over his last 7 days Timo is batting .083. So he is slumping right now also. I meant the Yanks. Sorry. At least that's what I thought I read around here. He should'nt have been batting higher than Dye though IMO.

QUOTE(ISF @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 04:08 PM) 1. See my post. They'll both be blocked. 2. Dunn is not free agent eligible, and he won't make Griffey money in arby. He's making 4.6 mil this yr. If you're talking prospects, I'm unconcerned. I'm interested in winning the World Series this year, not 3 years from now. 3. Dunn has K'ed 40 more times than Griffey. He's also walked 29 more times. His OPS is .100 points higher than Griffey's, .114 greater than Kong's. That is a fairly significant difference. If you're going to compare someone to Kong, it had best be Griffey. Neither is in Dunn's league in overall production right now, and Dunn hasn't hit his prime yet. I know Dunn is a cheap player. That's why he'll cost tons in prospects. Griffey is all we need. You have to go for it all, but you still have to protect yourself. Face it. If this team sucks in 3 years, no one will show up at the Cell. We can't have that. Dunn would cost two great prospects and another good one. I'd say it would probably cost BMac, Chris Young, & Lumsden. That's alot compared to Young, Rogo, & some lower tier guy. And I was comparing Dunn's K'ing to PK's. 40 times more is a killer. Especially for this team. We need someone who could hit lefties and guys who are equally as good against Righties. That's Griffey.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) You have to love the .217BA on the ole number 5 hitter. That strikes fear in the Yankees and ballclubs all around. He was batting over .400 career against Timo. Same goes with AJ. Lineup was pretty smart if you ask me. It just didn't produce. We need another big stick. Unfortunately, we're going to have to stick with what we got. It wasn't one single player's fault we lost tonight. It was the whole offense.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 01:35 PM) Would there be day games for the playoffs at all? Freddy would be better in a day game, I think. Exactly my thoughts. I think he has to play that day game.

Is there going to be a translator?

White Sox all the way. It's friggin preseason. I could care less about football right now.

UIC starts on the 22nd. Man, and my vacation just started 2 weeks ago. It's okay. I like college so it's no biggie. I heard some schools in Florida start this week too and some schools in GA started last week.

Wow. This is just, ugh. I can't believe someone would do such a thing. I mean I don't own any animals, but still. I wouldn't be able to do taht to anyone or anything. Not even a plant.

I told people when the deal was made that it was lopsided because when Barton was traded he was considered the best catching prospect in the league. Haren was a guy they were grooming and was I think the Cardinals #1 guy pitching wise for the future and Calero was pretty good all last season.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) I agree, but it'll never happen. The Sox are having a GREAT season and I still see tons of "Cubs Suck", "Magic Number 911", and other anti-Cub t-shirts at USCF. I just don't understand the obsession. It's fun to point out stupid s*** that Santo says or some idiotic thread on a Cub board, but if you're going to watch a Sox game where the opponent is not the Cubs, why wear an anti-Cub shirt to the game? It's not clever or funny. Or the dreaded, "Cubs still suck" chants when we aren't even playing them.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) I don't think the Yankess would spend the $60 million or so. I really don't I don't think so either. Also, wouldn't their payroll be around 300 million or close to it if they were to pick him up?

Crede will hit the game winning Grand Slam in Game 7 of the World Series to win it all. Bank it!
