QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) Beck -- if the White Sox' offense of two/three years ago had the pitching staff of this year, we might have won 105 games. The reason we didn't win in past years isn't because the 'chemistry' was bad. It's because the pitching, for the most part, sucked. Completely disagree considering the facts that Juan takes over for Jose playing ss and AJ calling pitches behind the plate, if you switch the two offenses from years past and this one we're much worse imo.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 12:34 AM) That didn't totally suck. I thought it was kinda funny. Not that bad imo.

QUOTE(bats3280 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 12:17 AM) here's the shuffle it's kinda funny. i personally like the hawk remixes....

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 11:59 PM) I don't feel like reading through this whole thread but did anyone else notice on the replay of the introduction that it seemed Farmer forgot to introduce El Duque?? He looked so out of place....I wonder if he was pissed they forgot him...because I don't remember Farmer saying his name either.... They announced him. However farmio did have some trouble announcing borch. Joe Borch Ard.

What about that new blitz game?? Looks absolutely awesome, haven't had a chance to play it yet though.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 10:33 PM) $$$ Oh I know but it better have been a lot.

I feel bad for scott for having to sit through that whole show.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 10:29 PM) It really wasn't worth it, was it? Well considering I watched a f***in hour worth of the worst show I've ever seen in my life...no it wasn't. It was cool seeing him on there though, to bad they made him say that s***ty cursed line.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 10:27 PM) For those of us without a TV, what was the premise of the sketch? You're better off not knowing.

The cursed line sucked balls, I f***in hate snl even more for making him say that but the yuppies line made me laugh more then the rest of the show.

:sleep SCOTT NEEDS TO COME ON ALREADY.

He'll prolly be on now. Weekend update is coming on.

I feel like I should be getting paid to sit through this bulls***. Scott needs to come on soon.

SNL is horrible. Scott's going to have to save this show.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) Can someone with a will strong enough to watch this drivel tell me when Pods is on. If I watch the show I'll more than likely passout after the 5th lameass joke wich will probably come within the first minute. I'll let you know. First time I've watched snl in years.

With this move soxtalk has started to go downhill.

The players union can go f*** themselves, I hate everything that organization does. I think Paul does end up going to the angels, hopefully I'm wrong.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) You think Pods is on roids?!?! You should be a comedian, you're just hilarious. :rolly

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 01:10 PM) fathom, where might I ask do you come up with "the Sox' strict stance against steroids"? On a separate note: If it were Podsednik, it certainly didn't help him hit. Teams were getting him out consistently with high fastballs during the playoffs and he couldn't catch up to them. He finally caught up with a fat pitch from Lidge who throws 95mph. That speed alone along with catching it square would allow any player to hit it out of the yard. Actually, he caught up with two because he did hit a nice triple a day or two earlier. I guess the roids were just kicking in... Scott had an excellent post season. He loves swinging through high heaters though, that's his swinging strike out pitch I guess you could say. EDIT: I'm just saying he had a very good post season, I dont want this post to look like I'm saying he's on roids cause in no way do I believe that.

QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 12:54 PM) It's really not funny at all. ANYWAYS, congrats queen.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 12:04 PM) Albert Pujols >> Manny Ramirez Ya, same thought i had.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 09:35 AM) You are right. If you consider that the Sox were going to not take the test during ST 2004 so that they would be counted as "failed", which would then cause the steroid testing policy to kick in. Two of our outfielders weren't here in 04. However, like I said I don't think any of our guys would do this but it's just something that scared me and obviously a few others as well.

QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 12:55 AM) In a way, Kenny did take a moneyball approach. The main gist of the Moneyball philosophy is going after players who have a skill that is undervalued in the market. With Beane's As, it as OBP. With Kenny's White Sox, it was run prevention (defense, pitching). See this is where I disagree, if that's true then everyone uses the moneyball theory. GM's are always looking for players who are undervalued in the market, diamonds in the rough if you will. Anyways, f*** this argument, it's been beaten to death. WORLD CHAMPS!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 12:27 AM) No, he really wasn't. Timo's situational stats in 2004 http://sports.yahoo.com/mlbpa/players/6568...04&type=Batting Timo's situational stats in 2005 http://sports.yahoo.com/mlbpa/players/6568/situational Timo was a much, much better situational hitter in 2004. You are just remembering the few big hits he had this season. Timo was kept around because when he came on to pinch hit in the 8th or 9th with the tying run in scoring position he'd seem to come through, he did that a lot this year as well, I can give you a list if you want me to There's just no stat that shows that and I'm not talking close and late either cause that's a bit different.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 12:23 AM) I think they're really after Neal Cotts instead of Damaso Marte in a deal like that. Personally I think Torii Hunter for Robinson Cano is gonna happen instead. Of course there's Sheffield, his ego and how he'd fit into the clubhouse etc. Right, that's what immediately came to my mind with sheff. I'm one of the few..hell maybe I'm the only one around here that does buy into chemistry so that is a concern. However, that being said, the guys who had reps of being bad in the clubhouse have become 2 of our leaders(aj, carl).
