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...

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 12:08 AM) don't take nearly enough walks Uhh....??? Everyone here already knows how I feel about Oakland in the playoffs but cmon now....

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 11:49 PM) How many World Series have Billy Beane built team played in? What are his teams' record in the postseason? Therefore, does Oakland fit the definition of "World Series Caliber" team? You can win with a small payroll, you just need an able gm. I forgot who it was but someone gave an example of how the pirates didn't protect chris shelton, a guy who just absolutely tore up the minors, that move costs nothing and they could have had a star on their hands but now they just don't have him. Is it easier to build a world series winner with a high payroll...hell yeah, is it possible to win the series with a smaller payroll...you better believe it.

That sig is awesome. Well done Chimpy.

Vlad shatters his bat and the a's win. That's good stuff there, playoff baseball in august....

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 10:57 PM) Angels got speed on board (Figs) and Houston Street is in. Cabrerra at the plate and GA/Vladdy due up with 1 out. Time to mlb.tv it.

Kielty went yard.

Verizon is very good, that's what I have now because I have a national package now. When I was in chicago I had U.S. Cellular which was absolutely amazing service wise, unfortunately they don't cover carbondale.
