QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 03:53 PM) Rowand, my heart skipped a beat. I got scared that I got on your bad side... I'm dead serious... LOL, nah, I have a good time debating back and fourth with you on different things.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 03:48 PM) I believe Mark Bellhorn's .328 OBP would rank higher than everyone else on the team besides Podsednik, Iguchi, and Konerko. Complete bulls*** here, why don't you look your s*** up before you post, unreal. Garland, el duque, and Politte also have better obp's.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 03:40 PM) Koch for Foulke is still the worst trade of Kenny Williams' career For the last two years that trade sucked, this year it's been absolutely awesome.

Welcome back Scotty, we definitely need ya.

D'angelo f***in Jimenez. I hated that guy so much and yes I mean hate.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) Do we have 39 or 40 on the 40-man now? Should be 39.

Baj might not have the best stuff in baseball but the guy can pitch...he knows what he's doing out there. He'll be a solid reliever(not a stud) somewhere in the majors whether it's with the sox or not.

About f***in time. Welcome aboard Jeff

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 11:09 AM) I would think if they are discussing the team and possible personel moves, it would mean a lot that he wasn't mentioned. People shouldn't waste their time listening to Bruce Levine. He is the ONLY person who has this deal anything but dead. Ken Rosenthal was on the Fox pre-game Saturday and he said there was no chance Griffey was going anywhere. His track record has been far better than Levine's. I agree about Bruce and Rosenthal, I'm not listening to Levine about anything, I also don't think anything is going to happen. However just cause Ozzie said publically that him and Kenny didn't talk about Griffey doesn't actually mean they didn't talk about him.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) Was the Anderson move official yet? Maybe they changed their minds based on Crede not getting healthy? Either that or they will be swapping Bmac for Crede when this move becomes official. Unless Bmac takes Adkins spot and then just stays with the team...who knows, I guess we just have to wait and see.....

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 11:02 AM) Guillen said he talked to KW about the team for 2 hours on Saturday, and Griffey was not even mentioned. That means nothing absolutely nothing..... EDIT: Let me add I also don't think Griffey is going anywhere but just cause Ozzie said him and Kenny didn't talk about him doesn't mean anything.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 09:27 AM) In high school, our spanish teacher had us watch a tape of a bullfight and she talked about it as though it were some glorious, respectful event. Those people are cowards. They throw spears into the bull, and a lot of them at that. The bull is riddled with spears, almost collapsing, barely enough energy to make a meek effort to save its own life, when a "heroic" matador stabs it in the neck. This I completely agree with. Bullfighting is retarded.....

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 10:20 AM) If someone can please post what's said (by Levine) ... much appreciated. Those stuck on a 2 hour teleconference would like to know! "Hi, I'm Bruce Levine. According to my sources the White Sox have had interest in Ken Griffey Jr." That's about all he'll say.

QUOTE(WSNS-TV44 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) Oh,man!!!! Bobby is a keeper!If you can throw 100 or 102,that's Nolan Ryan-like stuff you possess!But now this creates a debate. Hermanson or Jenks? No debate. Hermanson is the closer now and Bobby is the closer of the future, period.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:25 PM) They still have the option of putting Anderson on the playoff roster thanks to Frank's injury. Jas, are you sure about this?? You probably know the whole krod situation better then me but I do remember that happening. I was just putting 2 and 2 together and thinking Frank's injury gave us a loophole, I wasn't sure though.....

Once again as far as the playoff rosters go I think we have a loophole with Franks injury, hence the Sox not putting him on the 60 day dl yet. Someone's going to have to find out the exact rule on that but Krod did get on the playoff roster because of someone going on the 60 day dl a few years back during the angels run.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:01 PM) Most would be more than half. I'm not the only one who believes he is overrated. That's fine if you believe that, that is your opinion and you're entitled to that. In your post it seemed like you were trying to state it as a fact.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 08:36 PM) Here's a question: A few years ago Krod got on the playoff roster for the Angels through a loop hole, something with an injury occuring, I don't remember exactly what happened. Anyways, my question is could Frank's injury be some kind of loophole to get another player on the playoff roster?? I know he's off the 25 man but he hasn't been put on the 60 day dl for some reason, I don't know just speculating. Ok, so the krod thing a few years ago did involve somebody heading to the 60 day dl, in other words I do think if Frank is put on the 60 day we'd be able to add a player not on the 25 man as of august 31.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) Pods is obviously better than Timo, but he's not nearly as good as most people on this board give him credit for I love how 'most' people on this board are wrong but you're right.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 08:30 PM) There has to be some kind of move that KW can make to help the offense. Nobody can tell me that there is nothing at all he can do to upgrade something. I think it was you that I had this conversation with. Everyone is going to use the excuse of having Pods back as a reason to stand pat this deadline. No, Kenny traded for Griffey during the non waiver deadline but it got rejected and he's still trying to trade for him now. People bring up Giles but why would san diego trade him when they're going to win their division. Do you want to trade for Dmitry Young just to trade for a guy when Carl is just as good as him? There's just not much we can do right now.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) But would you rather have Adkins or Anderson on your playoff roster? Good point. I forgot about that.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 08:25 PM) f***ing.Bulls***. I can't believe Adkins is still on this team. At this point, it makes no sense to keep anderson up here, let him get ab's in charlotte for the next week. EDIT: Well, actually 3 days.

Boo, I picked up TJ as a backup in fantasy hoping he'd start all year.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 07:15 PM) The 2nd half has been far from Consistent. Even I can see that Rowand. And when I say team, I guess I just mean the O, because the pitching has been there all season long. I still just don't have alot of faith in our bats. However, I obviously saw the way this team played the 1st half, and truly believe they can play that way again, and it wasnt just smoke and mirrors. That's fair, offensively we've been very streaky but because of the pitching as an overall team we've been fine for the most part minus that few weeks. I understand what you said about the playoffs though. For me I just want to make sure we get in and we'll definitely be dangerous because of our big 3, should be a fun ride.
