QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:55 PM) No its not. Unfortunately these past few weeks count. Yes, but that's what I'm saying. We've played like s*** the last 2 weeks but we weren't playing bad before that like some of you guys are trying to make it seem.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:46 PM) As I said, they have been average for 2 months. We were 7 games over in that time period before this recent stretch, that ain't exactly bad.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:40 PM) Could you really expect a reasonable chance of winning a game against with that line-up? No, most teams aren't going to put up many runs with their 1-3 hitters on the bench. As far as your first argument goes it's different. They've slumped big time the last 2 weeks and your using a complete package to show that, the weren't playing amazing ball since the beginning of july but they sure as hell weren't playing bad till this recent stretch.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:37 PM) Those moves were being considered to support/back-up Crede at 3b. They weren't moves being considered to give our offense a spark. Joe Randa would not have been brought in to be a backup.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) Since 6/30 the White Sox are .500. Thats being average for a while. That's what happens when you lose 7 in a row.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:35 PM) You know what I've been saying. I just want to make the playoffs, cause you never know what can happen. However, I just can't picture KW sitting in his office thinking "oh yeah, no doubt in my mind we'll make the playoffs with this current offense". I actually think KW has improved over the years, but he was wrong when he thought that only a superstar would help this team. Once again Fathom you don't know that. Actually, I'd be inclined to say you're wrong about that considering it's been said that we almost landed Randa and Graff who aren't exactly superstars.

QUOTE(Chifananthony @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) All those teams are trending upward we are trending DOWN. We are running out of steam, and without help we are done. As far as Griffey, I am positive that if you offer to take enough of his salary he would be ours. This bulls*** about the owners not wanting to trade for him because he makes their team more attractive to sell is completely rediculous. If you take long term debt away from a business, that business becomes much more marketable. If I were buying the Reds, I would want a clean slate and no deffered contract money to deal with. Ill buy my own talent. We've trended downward for 2 weeks, that is all.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:28 PM) The Twins chose not to give up Liriano, basically limiting themselves from making a trade for an impact player. I think teams like the Yanks, Boston, Oakland, and Anaheim thought that their teams were good enough to win it all. Of course, we're speaking as FANS of the White Sox, and we just don't seem good enough to win it all now. Nobody knows what teams are good enough to win it all right now. I'll tell you one thing though, if there is a team out of the A.L. who could beat the Cardinals it is us because of our pitching. While Boston and the yanks can absolutely mash they just don't have enough pitching to win it all this year. I personally don't like the Angels staff after Bartolo and everyone knows how I feel about the A's. I think Tony put it perfectly with this team, we could get eliminated real early or we could win it all. The thing is as long as we hang on nobody is going to want to face Buehrle-Garland-Garcia in a short series.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:28 PM) There was a good amount of names reported that KW was interested in. He was getting outlandish requests such as McCarthy for Villone. Right and I hope Florida is happy with their trade for villone now....whoops.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:24 PM) Know what? Impossible gets or the fixated part? The fixated parts. Just cause the "great" baseball insiders in this town said those were the guy kenny was after really doesn't mean anything. Hell, that could have all been a smoke screen for other things, we just dont know.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 06:18 PM) KW did a great job fielding a team that could compete. My biggest problem is that he seemed to get fixated on two players, Huff and Griffey Jr., who were near impossible gets. You really don't know that.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) easy, happy gilmore... and no parents should not have to buy their kids a car... WINNER

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 04:56 PM) Don't do it. Eating s*** for 5 hours > working at fast food You eat pieces of s*** for breakfast??? Anyone know the movie?

Trivia question: When's the last time nitetrain made a post during a day the sox won?

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 04:45 PM) f*** no. Back in my day, there were no fat people. We had to walk everywhere. Did you have to walk 15 miles in the freezing cold during a blizzard to get to school?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) Just tell my parents that you should get your son one for his 16th. Phone number?

Ok, someone want to explain to me why the game is blacked out on espn here in carbondale?

The lineup definitely looks terrible on paper, a few times this year though these kind of lineups have some how scored some runs...lets hope so. I will say I do understanding resting Scotty, he's just coming back off a groin injury, played both games yesterday and was running a lot.

Congrats to both of the, well deserved for both

Uh oh: Timo lf ozuna 3b Aj c Konerko dh Rowand cf dye rf blum 1b Uribe ss harris 2b

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:13 AM) He cant be any worse than Ozuna over there. This I definitely agree with. Like I said, I love Walkers bat, it would jsut be interesting where he would fit in everyday.

I'd absolutely love Walker, he's a very good hitter. There's a few things though: 1. Levine is saying this so it won't happen, 2. Oh boy, here we go, WHERE WOULD HE PLAY. Honestly, I know he can give Tad a rest every now and then but Walker really would be one of our best hitters we'd have to find somewhere for him to play and there really isn't a place to put him.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 12:23 AM) Such as.............. There's been 3 sig bets I've beat him in. The first one was Vermont vs. 'Cuse in the ncaa tournament, the 2nd was a Sox-Tigers game a few months back where the sox were down by 1 in like the 3rd inning and he took the tigers and the third was that the sox would make atleast one trade before the trade deadline.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 12:15 AM) I know, the Dolphins are MUCH worse. Damn that personal attack rule You're right unfortunately

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) Aren't you usually the one that loses bets with DBAH0? He's the one that always loses bets to me I don't like the Bears but there is no way they're the worst team in the league...
