QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jan 1, 2006 -> 12:08 AM) Was the movie good? Meh, took way to long to get into the action and the movie ended way to quick, wasn't very well done if you ask me. The killing scenes were solid but overall it wasn't that good imo.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 1, 2006 -> 12:31 AM) I dont give a damn about his OPS... when your hitting at the top of the order all I care is you getting on base. And yes for a rookie it was a great season considering most rookies dont do that well when they first make it to the big leagues. If im right he made the jump from AA so whats to think he wont improve greatly considering how well he did his first season. I'm with you 100 percent on Taveras.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 11:53 PM) Is rotoworld not working for anyone else? QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 11:56 PM) Bad Request (Invalid Hostname) Type in the www, for some reason you have to type that in for rotoworld now.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) Haven't really heard much noise about him this season other than his struggles, unless I'm missing something... Last year's 6th Man was definitely deserved. This year he's been garbage, along with every Bull other than pre-concussion Kirk. Duhon, Deng, Sweets.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 08:30 PM) Ya, I forget what it is. I almost thought it was a year, but that is probably too long. It is a year.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) Is Alex Woodson even eligible to be traded as he was drafted in 2005? No. You're correct.

QUOTE(SS Gload @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 07:24 PM) If Texas bears USC, does sportscenter make 05 Texas: History in the Making? When they're on the verge of winning 3 consecutive then maybe.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 04:57 PM) Wait what happend to Dolgin? He's employed by espn 1000 not the sox so with the switch he's a goner. To bad too, cause I really liked Bryan. To be honest, I've never even heard of this guy.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 05:27 PM) Is Ben Gordon one of the worse/overhyped players in the league. I think so. Yes.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 05:11 PM) Didnt Seo perform pretty well as a starter this season too... I dont know why the mets would want to give up either player for Baez. Cause he's a bigger name then Heilman and Seo.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 04:46 PM) When did he start to do this? Someone should tell him he looks like a douche. This season, he's worn them every single game.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 09:59 AM) I was at that final spring training series vs. Milwaukee last year. They looked like an 85-win team to me. No offense critic, they looked a hell of a lot worse then an 85 win team. Like greasy said, ST only matters for the few fighting for roster spots, besides that it's just getting everyone ready and in shape for the season.

Those games in Milwaukee were absolutely brutal. The Sox only played well in ST when I was down in zona to watch them.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 03:27 PM) well said, my friend - any reason why white sox fans perticularly think that red sox prospects are overhyped when the most respected publications like baseball america, etc. are rating these players as high as some red sox publications? Hanley Ramirez comes to mind to be honest. He's been rated so high for so long it seems and I think a lot of people(myself included) have thought he's been highly overrated forever. He's been hyped and hyped for years and I just don't think he'll be very good. I know that's only one player but he's fresh in everyones memory. I will say I think Pabelbon is going to be a good one not confident in saying that for Sanchez and Lester though.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 03:22 PM) You are a bigger homer than felix and rowand... and trust me that is quite an acomplishment. "The White Sox won't make the playoffs"--qwerty "Dustin Hermanson just isn't very good"--qwerty "Neal Cotts won't have an era under 4"--qwerty You're just an anti homer so anything someone says positive about the team you think it's them being a homer. True story.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 03:20 PM) again.. explain. You're very biased towards the Red Sox and I honestly have no problem with that, that's part of being a fan if you ask me. The thing is though, you're coming onto a White Sox board and doing trying to spread it. Listen r&w, the Red Sox just aren't very liked around here and there are several reasons for that and if you want an answer for that it's mostly because the way espn shoved them down our throats that last few years. Obviously that isn't yours or any other Red Sox fans fault but it gets to become very repetitive and annoying. You're a very intelligent fan but you're not going to get any backing when talking about the Red Sox here because most White Sox fans despise them.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 02:15 PM) Iowa will defeat the Illini in Iowa city pretty soon. Your undefeated season will come to an end Sure, I said the same thing last year and we got damn close, damn close. I think people have stopped listening to you when it comes to college sports predictions.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 03:08 PM) If the mets give away Heilman i think that tampa will get the better end of the deal in this trade. Looking from a long term standpoint. I'll go out and say that Heilman will be the better reliever between the two this year, if TB keeps him in the pen that is.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) it just boggles the mind at how ridiculous some people are on here when it comes to the red sox. And it boggles our minds how ridiculous you can be when it comes to the Red Sox.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 02:53 PM) 4 interceptions! That's a lot of defense! Well the amount of yardage on offense is ridiculous right now. To be honest, I just turned on the game a little while ago though and I was just going by the score when I made that comment.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 02:36 PM) Anyone checking out the Northwestern/UCLA game? Northwestern runs up a 22 point lead and then gives up 22 unanswered points. This game is going just as expected, tons of offense and no defense.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 02:17 PM) ND may lose to OSU, but they won't get blown out and everyone who said Oregon was more deserving of a bowl game can just shove it. I don't feel like arguing over the whole bcs crap again cause I think all of us can agree that the bs is garbage but I was never arguing who was better between ND and Oregon though I don't think ND is very good. That being said I was arguing that when you look at their whole bodies of work in the season that Oregon deserved to be there more. It's all moot anyways since ND ended up with an auto bid.

Did they have your permission to use that? You should sue. That is very cool.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 12:15 PM) Marte also hit the DL for a stretch. Also...it's not really that unbelievable for your team to stay that healthy...if you're mostly working with a young team, and you're not overworking people (i.e. Ozzie's "Sunday Lineup" which gave people a chance to sit down, rest, and avoid turning any little tweaks into nagging injuries) We don't have any injury prone players on our team, however freak injuries happen all the time and especially to pitchers. It's unrealistic to expect all of them to be healthy all year without a few little tweaks here or there.

I was all for Jon and Uribe for Tejada I would have packed Juan's and Jon's bags if necessary but I hate the idea of trading Contreras even for a Tejada. JC needs to stay on this team, you just can't trade a pitcher that could and will be(imo) one of the best in baseball this upcoming season.
