The Ball = It Gawn!!!

He's new so don't flame him too much. PK still needs to get his AVG up else he has no chance ahead of the Boston propoganda + 1 Mark Teixeria.

QUOTE(olp_nch @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 07:53 PM) Who the hell is this McCarthy kid.... and what happend to that Spring Training Phenom pitcher we had? But seriously folks, the kid is 21, and has no change up..... what do you expect? He showed a changeup in ST which made him so dominating. That's what shocks me the most.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) I thought this kid is supposed to have pinpoint control, he has gone full on alot of hitters and walked alot. I know he is young and only 21 years old. DBTH I think he's having the Kerry Wood problem. Tries to K everyone and doesn't know you could just get the simple groundball. Anyway, this many runs would've gotten Contreras the win yesterday while today, it doesn't look like it'll be enough.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 07:50 PM) Didn't most of the board think he wasn't ready anyways? Not Chisoxfn apparently. He clearly isn't ready though and his problems from AAA are magnified here. Hopefully we could just get more runs. AJ must be pissed though.

If anyone wants to know another, there's Streambox Ripper which is a damn good and easy program in it's own right.

QUOTE(southsider17 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) That's my vote. Mine as well. Just say nod your head when he's looking at you and say hi. Don't be an a** and say something stupid. Unless he initiates something, you shouldn't.

Everyone is a threat to the White Sox. It's almost halfway point and the White Sox are no longer a team that could sneak up on teams. People want to beat them and "show the baseball world that they are not forreal" similar to Baltimore and the Dodgers. Tonight, the KC Royals are a threat. Therefore we must demolish them. Indians are a threat and Minny is a threat as well.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) Middle reliever or closer? They're all the same. I say get the best guy out there whether it's a setup man or closer. I don't give a damn. Just Git 'R Dunn!!!

Dubois has 253.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 10:51 AM) I don't believe Duque will be going anywhere. One of the main reasons he was signed was his awesome postseason record. It said in the paper today, that they would want him to have at least one rehab start before he pitches for the Sox again, whether it's starting or relieving. They knew what they were getting into when they signed him. As for McCarthy, I'm sure the Sox can carry 12 pitchers again. Exactly. He'll be here. Again, I say just shut him down until after the ASG.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) I must be the only one who says good riddance. I expected nothing out of Duque when they signed him and as far as I'm concerned he's done more than I ever thought he would (he is well over .500) and now Bmac's gonna come in and kick some butt. If Duque gets healthy later on fine, thats a good problem to have. I say they just shut down El Duque from now until the ASG so he could get proper rest. That'd be the smart thing to do. You get a good feel of what BMac could do and you rest El Duque properly.

I agree. I loved it tonight. Great crowd for a Sunday Nighter. Plus Sox win. GOGOGO!!!!!

QUOTE(C_LEE45 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) barry zito please Yes, so he could give up double the amount of runs he does now at the Cell.

KW and Ozzie are overreacting big time. They knew what they were getting themselves into with El Duque and the plan was for him to have 4 "rests" in the season. He's one of our big game pitchers and we're going to need him for when we face the Twins. They knew what they were getting themselves into, so just deal with it.

More Chavez talk. Don't know if it has been posted yet. Sox apparently did talk with Oakland about Eric Chavez and Oakland wanted BMac, Brian Anderson(which I would've given up) + a Starter already in our rotation(which I would not have given up). Apparently, after the Sox said no, they said they weren't going to shop Chavez.

Just got word that one of my friends got tickets tonight, YES!!!!!!

Thanks. Well, I'm going to buy Photoshop at the end of the month(I need to get some money) so I'll have to wait. Anyway, is it possible for someone to make me a wallpaper?? If anyone can, I want the celebration from last night's walkoff HR by AJ as the main background. I want the AJ batflip anywhere in there. I'd also like a "Sox Pride" logo thing in the middle in the red, black, and white and a list of the players on the team on one of the sides. If anyone can do it, I'd appreciate it alot.

Excellent. I hope the Sox pull it out tonight and I hope Contreras has a great outing.

What program do you guys/gals use?? I want to start at least experimenting making wallpapers. Thanks.

Basically the Pacers made the deal because Bender is a number on their cap and the #17 pick, they didn't feel comfortable taking someone there who they could feel would contribute right away. They feel that Devean George and Medvedenko can however and the pick is a throw-in. Don't be suprised if they make another move to get some capspace.

QUOTE(Nokona @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 01:35 PM) How about World Seires MVP? I'd like to see Frank get one first.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 09:46 AM) Yeah this was a great win, but look at the August schedule. All of these are must win games right now. Talk to me on Labor Day. Sure doesn't hurt to win now though, does it?

QUOTE(Jimenez4MVP @ Jun 18, 2005 -> 02:38 PM) American League East New York Yankees New York Mets Boston Baltimore Toronto Central Chicago White Sox Chicago Cubs Cleveland Detroit Minnesota West Oakland LA Angels LA Dodgers Texas Houston National League East Washington Philadelphia Florida Tampa Bay Pittsburgh Central St. Louis Kansas City Cincinatti Milwaukee Atlanta West San Diego San Francisco Seattle Arizona Colorado That is how I would do it.. And the playoff format seems fine how it is A few other things.. I would scrap interleague play.. With this alignment I have there is no reason for it anymore, plus its not even enjoyable anymore.. Everyone just wants to see the close cities clash and ive basically set that up to play into regualr scheduling.. I would also say goodbye to the DH, I think making the pitcher have to bat is how it should really be in all leagues.. It helps strategy play into the game more.. EDIT: I swapped Seattle and LA Dodgers to keep the rival cities theme going Rivalries wouldn't be rivalries anymore. Especially in the city. Plus you give each city less of a chance to win with having both teams of one city in the same division. Cubs-Sox would lose it's luster. There really would be no more Yankees - Red Sox rivalry. Interleague play is meant for those rivalry games. You mean to tell me you rather see the Sox facing a new opponent like the Rockies for the same opponent in the Royals or Tigers?? Interleague play is no worse than regular play. You might get a lopsided game or you might get a real great game. Same goes as facing your own division. I myself would be sick of seeing the White Sox pound on the Royals 30 games a year.

I say it's a good idea, but the wrong player. This team doesn need a long reliever. Currently, instead of stretching out Cotts, we've shortened him. If this team is getting pounded or looks like its about to get pounded in the 3rd inning, we really just have to leave our guys out to dry. We need someone at least as a stopgap so we don't burn out our pen or SP.
