QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 11:22 PM) Pippen guided the Jordan-less Bulls to the Eastern Conference Finals in 1994. f***, he was under serious consideration for MVP. If not for a phantom foul call in New York, it could have been possible the Bulls retained their crown. He'll always be remembered for being Jordans 'sidekick,' but those who know the game realize he was a quality player in his own regard. :finger Hugh Hollins.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 11:10 PM) Dotel is a FA??? Yessir.

Poptarts. w00t.

QUOTE(SnB @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 02:22 PM) um. no. I own that category No, you'll sweep worst poster award.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) Would have been better in my opinion and would have gotten alot more recognition. He was the best all around player in the league the when jordan went to try out baseball. Bingo. He's still the best defensive player ever imo at his position. Jordan continues to overshadow Pip's accomplishments even with them both out of the game now. It's unfortunate.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 09:05 PM) Losing Marte is addition by subtraction. Im not concerned at all. I wouldn't go that far. You don't agree when he had it going he had amazing stuff? Also he did the job for us in that long Series game. I'm not against the trade though. Looks like we upgraded our utility spot even though Blum hit the shot heard round the world which I forever will applaud him for. He has amazing stuff. Unfortunately, stuff means absolutely nothing with some pitchers. EDIT: And who ever said it is an addition by subtraction, I completely agree.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 07:13 PM) And yet today the Angels traded for J.C Romero. What does that tell you? They won a world series with 1 lefty, it's really not a big deal. That said our manager seems to love the matchup game, I'd honestly have no problem at all if Munoz got a shot to be that 12th pitcher and would be used sparingly until or if he proved anything. If ozzie could get over his love for the matchup game, having 1 lefty is not a problem at all.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 06:37 PM) i dont understand why would let owens rot on the bench when he doesnt even have a year at AAA under his belt. let the guy play!!! people are worried because he was a football player and is still a raw talent, well at bats seems to be the solution to that problem, not watching brian anderson and eating sunflower seeds. I'm 100 percent with you here. I think and hope Kenny will find a solid 4th outfielder and let Owens get some ab's in aaa, assuming BA wins the CF job.

QUOTE(Hawkfan @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 04:07 PM) marte is the s***... do any of you watch baseball.. at anytime other than september of 05?

QUOTE(SoxPride56 @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 12:01 PM) I think you mean Viz, correct? Since your rather new here you'll find people like giving clever nicknames to members of the team.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) Favorite poster from PA To bad there are just no good candidates for this award.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 11:28 AM) ii'm just saying that it wouldnt be a catastrophe if we traded jon in this situation. I disagree but we'll just agree to disagree.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 11:22 AM) i wasnt confident with him before last season either. but he held it together well enough. ALSO remember that if the Count is as good this year as he was the end of last, he should make up for the slip in Duque. beginning of last year Duque was unhittable and the Count was the Count. Now reverse it and you end up with the same net wins/losses theoretically ..and when Duque gets injured we dont have Bmac waiting in the wings anymore. Say hello to Felix Diaz again.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) Bench= Borchard, Pablo, Robby Mack. You forgot the Widge.

It's from the Trib.

I love the idea of Davanon. He's really a perfect fit imo.

Whether Miggy is locked up longer then Jon is really irrelevant in my mind. I want to win the damn thing again this year and imo Jon gives us a better chance to do that then Tejada does. Worry about the Garland situation next year, I'm just not a fan of making a void in the pitching staff to upgrade at short where Juan is still a solid option.

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 09:30 AM) I must be watching different games than others, because I think Tejada would be a huge upgrade over Uribe. If you put Tejada on our team instead of Uribe, the offense would be improved to the point where you could trade Garland and still feel like you have enough to compete for the championship. Also, I'm not too worried about Tejada's attitude. A lot of s*** went down with the Orioles, and I'm sure if he was in a competitive situation, he'd be busting his ass for 162 games. As much as I love Juan, Tejada is a huge upgrade and would be a welcomed addition. That being said I would not trade Garland, period. I wouldn't trade Jon straight up for Miggy, our pitching staff is to damn good and when you have the 5 guys we have, that alone can lead you to a championship. I don't want to go through a whole season with the Duke as the 5th starter again even with an improved offense, it would make this team worse. Pitching>Hitting.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 01:13 AM) What we need: 1) Either a backup at 3B or a backup at SS. With Uribe's experience & arm strength he could become #2 on the depth chart at 3B. In that case a new #2 is needed at backup for SS. Ideally a quality backup at 3B is what we want. Using Uribe is a plan of last resort. You really confuse me at times Juggs, you explain the whole Mack deal and then you go on to say how we don't have a backup 3b.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 12:57 AM) We filled one hole today with Mak. The utilty guy. We still have 3 remaining: 1) LH RP 2) 3B backup / SS backup 3) CF with speed I did not see enough good things from Anderson last yr to where I'm convinced he will not struggle mightily playing everyday in CF. The fact he's had some surgery this off-season doesn't help his cause. Owens is tearing up Winter Ball & with his SB talent might surprise us all. But if KW has an opportunity to get Crawford & move Pods to CF he should do it. The plain simple fact with Harris is that he's worth more to the team as trade bait than as a player. 2=Mack and Pablo 3=Anderson and/or owens. With Pierre gone we're going into the season with Brian and Jerry fighting it out for cf. Both of them have good speed so that's not a problem.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 10:47 PM) Buehrle said in an interview that Frank told him he could be a fulltime 1B again. He said it on the Dan Patrick Show. There isn't a team out there dumb enough to let Frank be a fulltime 1b again.

These guys are mean.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 09:23 PM) Hermanson got by the last two months pitching like s*** i do not care what anyone says. You know i was one of the only cotts supporters around here. I did not want him to fail and you know it. LOL, Hermanson pitched like s*** because he doesn't throw hard. Of course. You didn't like the signing so you never would admit he pitched well.

AJ on after commercial.
