QUOTE(redandwhite @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 12:22 AM) I was defending the Red Sox in why they should be voted the best team in baseball right now. Obviously Oakland or Houston should have that claim, but in no way should the White Sox. Some of you guys are ridiculous. Let's keep in mind 99 times out of 100 I don't post about Red Sox stuff on this board.. Please? I could care less about some stupid espn poll. But the sox have the best record in baseball and they aren't the best team in the al?? Whatever...we'll prove it in the postseason.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 08:55 PM) i've watched it way too many times Where'd you guys sit?? You took my tickets you assholes. Ok, I actually couldn't go but still......

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 05:04 PM) I'm assuming it's a combination of resting Pods' legs and getting the better arm in LF which Timo does have. I will never call Timo a good defensive OFer atleast until I see him catch a ball with two hands. Barely any player in baseball catches the ball with 2 hands. Timo definitely isn't a good defender, just saying though.

Right now, give Carl as much rest as possible, definitely sit him out this whole series against seattle and then see how he's feeling on Monday and hope he's able to go against the Yankees. We need Carl down the stretch so just make sure he's ready to go before we put him back in the lineup.

QUOTE(jamslam @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 04:45 PM) Why all the panic button hitters? Best record in baseball, first to 70 wins and after tonights action , probably a 15 game lead! Enjoy people.Ummm unless you are a cubs troll 14 game lead if Cleveland loses.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) We're 13-8 since the All Star Break. We're 5-2 in our last 7 games. We lose 1 series and people say we're slumping... :headshake The thing is we are slumping and not playing very well, yet we're 13 and 8, that's a pretty good sign imo that we can play pretty poorly and still win games.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) At the time, Borchard was thought of as a 5 tool player with "light tower" power. I saw the game where he actually hit the light tower, it was an amazing shot. But I also noticed in the game that his "amazing" arm was overrated. From BA, he was rated as the best college prospect, and only fell to 12 because of his signing bonus demands as a football prospect also. I will admit, I was VERY excited when we drafted him, I followed the drafts really close back then, and at the time nobody was really worried about his swing. But as time went on, and as he rose in levels, the swing flaw became more and more apparent. At the time, some scouts were saying Borchard had the most power coming out of college since Mark McGwire. Chase Utley was a real good prospect at the time also, but we were in need of OF prospects, and Utley's power wasn't on the same level as Borchards at the time. Also, scouts wondered if Utley could play 2B well enough to stay at the position, alot of scouts thought eventually he would end up in LF or at 3B or would end up as a Todd Walker type 2B with little D. Basically, it was thought to be a great pick at the time and everyone gave us props for it. It wasn't questionable at the time like say Royce Ring's pick. What's with the sig :puke

Ugh, sounds awesome but I got the same problem as SnB.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:23 PM) ^^ Great smilie.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:23 PM) Dustin looking like a real closer today. He's looked like a real closer to me all season.

HE GONE!!!!!!!

HE GONE!!!!!! 1 more Dustin

Barry Bonds up.

HE GONE!!!!!! 2 more

Ugh, that pitch looked good to me.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:15 PM) Thats why your paying for me to come out in a few weeks. So the luck already has run out.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:14 PM) You think Blum is better at 1st than Kong? Well Juan's better at short then Blum, to be honest I haven't seen Blum play much at first but he's sure looked solid at 3rd in the opener.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:12 PM) That was a waste of a pinch runner. Two moves in mind with that. Get a faster runner on the bases and better defense for the 9th.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) he pitched today againt the tigers, and lost. He didnt look so hot. Overrated.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) Oh no. Paulie being pinch run for. Does that mean that Timo wil be at 1b in the 9th or will Blum? That's why Juan came into pinch run, Juan to short, Blum to first.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:09 PM) To be fair, it was on a pickoff move. Uribe running for Konerko...now we get to see Blum play 1b. Actually he fell and then they threw over, I'm not picking on Carl, unfortunately that stuff happens and just looks bad.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) I was in a meeting. I don't feel like reading the entire thread. Can someone tell me what happened to Everett. Strained groin, fell down while on first base.
