QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:14 PM) That's what I meant. I'm sure Warren will destroy Stevenson AGAIN this year and Rowand will go hide in Carbondale dorm with a pizza from Quatros and 5 pack of Natural Light. If we lose my excuse is that I wasn't there to cheer them on.

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:08 PM) When you pay off the officials, anything is possible.

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) Anyplace south of Libertyville sucks. Still sour about that playoff game last year..eh?

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) You mean your parents win. Pssh, I contribute. Ok, I don't at all.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 03:26 PM) DUPAGE COUNTY...YESSSSS My county is richer then yours Brian and I win, Lake county it is.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 03:18 PM) Pods, LF Iguchi, 2B Everett, DH PK, 1B Rowand, CF Dye, RF Uribe, SS Widger, C Ozuna, 3B El Duque, RHP Aj maybe getting a few days off cause of the wife?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) I think it's finally "clicked" for Contreras. If so, then his head won't get in the way of him using his great stuff. No walks in his last 3 starts, that's just simply incredible for Jose. What was his era in August? It was around the low 1's but as impressive as that is, that no walks in 3 starts is the most impressive stat to me.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 02:50 PM) I expressed some hesitation in giving the ball to McCarthy vs. Hernandez is an earlier post. The more I think about it, the less hesitation I have. Having said that, at this point in time I'd go with Contreras as the number 4 starter in the playoffs. No doubt, if Jose pitches half as well as he did in August he should be our number 4 guy in the playoffs.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 11:57 AM) If the playoffs started today..... The White Sox would host the NY Yankees in the ALDS, and have home field advantage throughout the entire playoffs. -- Just a thought. Buehrle vs. Johnson Contreras vs. Chacon Garcia vs. Mussina Garland vs. Wright Buehrle vs. Johnson That's an interesting setup you have there cheat, did you flip Garland and Contreras based on how they throw at home and on the road?

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 10:33 AM) And bleed and fall apart after one washing. I got the gray one with the black lettering, it's held up fine. You just got a bad one

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 6, 2005 -> 10:16 AM) A recent photo of Orlando Hernandez: Doesn't Nuke have that photo copyrighted?

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 09:30 PM) milton's fine. A 6.42 era says otherwise.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 10:04 AM) Pretty much. I also see us dropping. We did pretty bad with this year's draft IMO. You can't rank a draft after half a season.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 07:08 AM) I actually think the Sox's system will drop. This year's draft class, led by Lance Broadway, has not had a standout performance like some of the 2004 draftees did last year (Gonzalez, Liotta). The minors are extremely outfield-heavy in prospects, which are a dime a dozen in any case. The Sox minors are short at SS (with Valido the only real prospect), 2B (none really pop out) and 3B (Fields has high K's, low AVG., worrisome for someone who will need to compete at higher levels). C is weak as well. Well Young had a sick year, as did Gio as did Liotta as did Haigwood. We're outfield and PITCHING heavy, that is a very good thing.

Bonds will be re-evaluated and could be activated tomorrow. Right now the Giants are 5 out and they have 7 left with the Pads. Wow.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 08:12 PM) the best part about jerry rice was that he is nothing like TO and Moss... he's a class individual. best ever Completely agreed. In case you guys couldn't notice my first post in this thread was sarcastic.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 08:32 PM) Hey guys my dad suffered a massive Heart Attack in Arizona on August 18th. I am still out in Arizona dad past away Friday Morning at 6:15 the Funeral because of the Labor Day holiday will be Thursday and I most likely will leave Saturday Morning. It will tough leaving my family out here in Phoenix during this time but life will go on and everything happens for a reason so I will have to move on. I won't be on for a week at the soonest. Sorry to hear that, my condolences.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) There were a couple...Uribe caught off second.. I'm going to blame that one on Tad.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 06:15 PM) Having Homefield also means more $$$$$$$$$$. Great point. Also, Boston is fantastic at home, having homefield throughout the playoffs would be a nice luxury.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) I think Liriano is about to debut in the next half inning. A little preview of the filthiness we'll have to deal with in the future. He is in. First batter he faces goes yard.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Sep 5, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) I think 35 is the high. Yes sir.

Mariotti is in the process right now of writing an article about how the Sox are going to win the series.

Congrats Pods. Nice catch.

Average career.
