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.

Happy bday all.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 01:05 AM) Does anyone else see the preview of Hostle and piss themself? No, that would only be you.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 01:11 AM) I don't think the Orioles make any deals with us unless McCarthy's name enters the picture. I don't think Tejada is going anywhere but it's more realistic with Garland signed long term if you ask me. Like I said though, I highly highly doubt Miggy gets moved this year.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 12:43 AM) Unless Garland was aware of it before he signed. I think that would be a very negative move for our organazation. You don't trade a guy after he signed with us for a bargain price (compared to what he would have received on the market 1 year from now) Don't expect any more "hometown discounts" for a while if we did that. Ya, that's a good point. I do think there is a better chance of him getting traded for Tejada then JC that's all I'm saying.

Garland and Uribe for Tejada is much more realistic now then it was before and more realistic then JC and Uribe imo. EDIT: This is obviously if he doesnt have that no trade in the first year which I still haven't seen confirmed anywhere yet.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 29, 2005 -> 09:20 PM) and why is that??? Chuck Lamar is gone.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 29, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) get in chat you b****es I would if I could. My wireless at my moms house isn't working for whatever reason right now for my laptop and the regular computer we have here just absolutely sucks.

f*** YOU COMCAST. EDIT: Well that was weird but atleast we didnt miss anything.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 29, 2005 -> 08:52 PM) weak that nobody is in chat tonight Meh, down 4-2 we have no chance. This game is already over.
