QUOTE(rowand's rowdies @ Dec 17, 2005 -> 05:45 AM) i dont know why the sox would want to trade for pitching prospects. we dont give them a chance really ever. jenks doesnt count bc he was always major league ready, he just had mental problems. cotts was put in the bullpen immediatly. instead of giving one of our minor league amrs a chance, everyone (including KW i think) wants to plug in a major league reliever via FA or trade. if we trade garland for any minor league prospects i will be pissed. we use our prospects to trade for mlb players, which is fine and it has worked out for us so far. im not bashing the sox's way of going about things, im just making the point. i agree with it to a degree, although i would like to see a prospect get a chance to take the 4th and 5th OF spot and last bullpen spot. we gave dan wright, jon garland, kip wells, and mark buerhle all chances ...

for the record, the angels were pretty hot too going into the playoffs

the only attitude i worry about that we picked up is vasquez...or however you spell his name, i'll have it down by spring training, and thats not even because i know he has one, just that there aren't reports about it that are so positive as have been written about thome and 'bobbie' mackowiak

umm...lack of bold confused me

boy, i do hope we can keep don cooper for as long as atlanta kept mazzoli

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 07:14 PM) Of course you agree as should everyone. The next person to make a Carl Everett trade joke should be banned. to be fair i think some people believe we'll trade for carl again, BUT I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY secondly,(not directed to you) if anderson has a .320 OBP i'll be happy with him, That would be very nice if you ask me

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 06:56 PM) http://townhall.com/hrd.html?sid=179266&lo.../mediamyths.asp well,i feel retarded after reading that...another bulls*** sour grapes article... damn them! DAMN them for making jokes that it would be nice to have LOng vacation times and shorter work weeks...TELL THE TRUTH!!!

haha, this is the best thread title i've seen in a long time... so many of todays threads are cracking me up miguel tejada is overrated, morons!

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) I rather have Blalock and Tejada

QUOTE(drowninginflame @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 06:42 PM) Looking @ the resviour bear sig makes my head hurt. the sunglasses look so bad yeah i used to make sigs a lot that looked purposefully bad, but then i got bored with it, and frankly i don't care about sigs anymore. I keep this just cause its easy for me to identify... Clearly by the oversized heads you should've realized it was a joke, and the uneven painted colors in the background...ahh, i should show you my old tillman one, i wonder if its lost

but see, i just see a difference between howard stern, who is downright entertaining, i mean, he actually makes jokes that are funny... everytime i hear north on he's talking about some lasagna he got at some restaurant for 30 minutes...who is listening? Well me...s***!

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 06:28 PM) And with that, your credibilty is shot. hahaha, don't i know it...but i've Matured! i think. Ahh well, i guess we'll see if i laugh at the next potty joke made... I'll get back to you on that yas

being at u of missouri, i think this one kid said he wanted some of these players...its a terrible situation down there...i really thought they were ognna have a great rotation when runelvys hernandez or whatever and miguel acensio were pitchin so great in 03...shame it didn't work out...not for us but for them, how terrible would it feel to absolutely KNOW you won't do s*** and its not just because you are rebuilding, its because you will NEVER be winning

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 05:55 PM) What if Tejada said that he wanted to stay if this and if that. Then you could say Tejada said he wanted to stay. sure yes, tea and cake, i realize this is all fun off season speculation, but i don't think that the orioles would WANT to trade the best SS in the game right now unless he threatens not to play, and from the sounds of it, he was just saying he wants to win. Now i realize they need pitching, but they also need marketing and such and such and angelos is a bottom line type o fella and with the nationals looking better and better, he might be worried about losing some of the marketability, scumbag he is. So all i'm saying, is compared to other trades, this really seems crackpot to me at the time. Although i was a part of chaveztalk.com

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 05:44 PM) Point taken. Now then, if you had just signed a multiyear contract with the O's, would you want to see Tejada traded? haha, no no, but still, i don't think he'd lie and say "when he talked to me he said he wanted to stay" when tejada could easily dispute that

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 05:20 PM) Who's going to pay Hernandez's salary? i think theres a bit of a difference between the O's (whom i'd consider to be someone from the front office) and the players.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 05:18 PM) I think the O's are spinning things that way to get more for him. I think he wants out and will be traded before opening day. but it wasn't the O's it was Ramon Hernandez who said he didn't want to be traded

yeah, averaging 107 rbis a year sucks! i think we should stop wasting time on this pipe dream, he doesn't even want to be traded

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) My god, you guys are rough. I agree North can be unlistenable at times, but I do have to say, he is the ONLY person on Chicago radio that will ask the questions people want to have asked. Example: Last year he basically b****-slapped Scott Skiles back into the Bulls coaching job. He would ask the Sox tough questions throughout the year. Something Farmer and Rooney would not. Ed Farmer is such as kiss-ass, I think it would be refreshing for someone to say get pissed about Paulie grounding into anothe double play. Personally, I sometimes have to turn North off because he can be so damn annoying. But, he is the main reason the Score became a success. Bloated and annoying as he is, he was the voice of the fan. It's something that guys like Chet Coppeck, Bruce Levine, and Les Grobstein couldn't understand. When the Score came on the air, people were sick of these sports "nerds" and wanted someone that sounded like they did talking about sports at the bar. Just my opinion. voice of the fan? Perhaps the uneducated, hot headed, unlistenable ranting fan, who are mostly the dolts who call his show, but not the type of fans you see here. the tough questions? Like, if god came down to you tonight, and said i'll give you three victories, but you have to shave your head, what would you do? you're right, he's a regular tim russert up there... Did you see a rush game? He was the worst announcer i've ever heard, just like his show, he ends up talking about some restaurant for an hour while i'm trying to watch the game

QUOTE(LauraJ14 @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) You guys sound like your are playing Fantasy baseball, these numbers don't look good so I can easily replace them with another player. Some of us fans want to see Rowand play the outfield every day and Garland pitch every 5 days and don't really want to see them playing on another team. I hope Brian Anderson can be a productive major league hitter next year. The only move that I will be majorly pissed off at Kenny for is if he trades Jon Garland away. I have waited for Garland to develop into the pitcher he was lthis year and I really want to see him duplicate that in 2006 in a White Sox uniform. no, we are just being realistic and we want to keep winning, not end up in decades of turmoil after our shining season...we have a chance to become a dynasty with this pitching staff...what's exciting is going into this offseason, our offense COULD ONLY improve, now even our pitching did. How upset were you at how different the team looked last year, or how there is no gong when shingo comes out? I'm sure you were crying all the way to the WS victoy...just like you'll (no jinx) be doing this year
