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.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 07:11 PM) It's basically September. I know what we have in this team. Its a team built on great pitching, and a very good bullpen, with a streaky Offense. Isnt that what we thought coming into the year? There is a very good chance we go 3 and out in the playoffs this year, a very good chance. There is also the chance that our bats get going in late September, and we make things happen in the playoffs, a good chance. This team is flat out a streaky team, and we all just have to hope to catch the right streak. Once again I guess this is how you interpret streaky but I don't consider us streaky at all. We had 1 stretch where we played absolutely horrible but besides that we've been pretty consistant.

It'll be either the Marlins or Astros. The Astros might have a a bit of an advantage cause all the NL East teams most likely still have some games to beat up on each other.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 11:17 PM) I can't believe someone is actually saying that Rowand44 is negative. You don't think I'm negative fathom?

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 11:23 PM) after we uh you know Played Video games?

QUOTE(rangercal @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 10:57 PM) Life as a Sox Fan: Too many f***en pessimists around you. He gave up a double on a later pitch . Sexson did not hit the 102 pitch. If you all want to complain get your cry baby asses back in the game thread. Let some of us enjoy the moment. Some of us have different ways of enjoying the game of baseball. I love the 100mph fastball. Who's complaining? I love Bobby but I love him because he can get guys out not because he can light up the gun but that's just me.....

26.

I never doubted ozzie or Marte for a second. *runs away* 26

Wow, wow, wow, wow.

Thanks Mr. Hargrove. I'll take a righty vs. Dam anyday of the week over a lefty.

I wish Damaso and Neal threw right handed.
