QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) I think the thing that is confusing me in all of this, or atleast in the FG/Davis situation, is that I thought I'd remembered reading somewhere where the Sox could have had FG for like just Valentin, and the Sox turned it down, due to Valentin's leadership, clutchness, and the fact that they would not have had a SS with Uribe being completely unproven. The M's would have done it because they needed a SS badly, having traded Guillen to Detroit, and FG had a burden of a contract at $7 mill while coming off 2 pretty poor years in a row. So is there no validity to that Jose s*** at all, or am I remembering reading that right? Wite, the rumor was that the Jose for Freddy deal was done if the Nomar for Maggs deal went through. After that fell through then Kenny probably didn't want to trade Jose and give the job to an unproven Uribe.

I've been as guilty as anyone about talking possible deals mostly because it's interesting conversation to have. The sox may need another reliever but as I've said earlier I'd like to give Baj or Jenks a shot before making a deal, I think we have some solid in house options to upgrade the pen if need be. To me the logical spot would be to update 3rd base but as of right now I'm fine with Joe, if he could stay around the .250 mark he'd be perfectly fine, he's going to hit 20 homeruns and he's a fantastic 3rd baseman. At this point there could be an upgrade to the team, however I'm perfectly happy with what we have now, I personally don't think we need to make a trade.

QUOTE(SHAFTR @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 03:09 AM) Well, there are some facts backing up the Homosexuality/Nature debate. An overwhelming amount of testimonials from homosexuals seems to say they always remember feeling the way they do. Second off, a look at Identical Twins and Fraternal Twins found some convincing evidence. When one identical twin was found to be gay, there was a 50% chance the other was as well. With Fraternal twins, that # is much lower. Eitiher way, it doesn't really matter nature or nurture, what is important is acceptance and equality. Everett has proven time and time again that he is an idiot. I don't have a problem unless he becomes an idiot with an agenda. Carl's a religious guy and I'm basically the opposite of that so I'm not sure but isn't there something in the bible or catholic religion that opposes homosexuality or have I been watching to much television

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 02:11 AM) Well... back at you Sir. I can undertand Slonerko, Crazy, Dead, Judy, Cocks, Dingo, Jizzcan, Omit & Cruddy. They deserve those nicknames at times. But, I just couldn't understand the swipe at Gload. Don't forget Botch for Cotts and Dumasso. Good thing you weren't around in 03 Jabroni when Mark was struggling otherwise I'm sure he'd have a clever nickname as well.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 12:55 AM) Frank is 60 away from 500 HR now. At this rate he'll get there this season

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 01:36 AM) But he DID hit .181 in May and it's because he's Crediocre. Did he get a promotion from Cruddy?? :huh

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 01:13 AM) Six of those 12 games of Paulie's streak were without Frank in the line up. Up until today for the last 3 games he was going to right field much more, I'm not sure if that was the case vs Colorado and the first two games against San Diego when I was out of town but that's something I've noticed about him. Pauly becomes such a dangerous hitter when he uses the whole field.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 12:47 AM) ^That.^ My White Sox themed sigs have all been of the Hurt. That's cause you're boring

I've never had a team come that close and then not get it done. As you guys know I'm not an Illini fan but that was a special team and season. The only thing from my perspective I can compare that to is the Sox in the 2000 playoffs and that was only the ALDS but I know that hurt big time for me.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 12:02 AM) Crede and Konerko didn't help him either, except on offense of course. Very true.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 11:42 PM) I agree. Let's hope this is only a bump in the road and not the beginning of a trend. I personally think the effect of Colorado took a toll on Freddy, Jose, and the Duke. Garland just didn't have much today even though that homerun to Clark was ridiculous.

QUOTE(Ishmookie @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 11:41 PM) Ok i gotta jump in on this it was amazing! 10 FREAKING RUNS!!! I hope this is our year. Anyway we gotta keep going against the Dodgers. Let's go White Sox! Sell out the series! Just looking for tickets I can tell you it's going to be pretty fricken crowded on Friday and I'm sure Saturday and Sunday will be backed as well.

Fantastic news. Gload adds so much to this team, great hitter, good speed, great defensive first baseman, he strengthens the bench 10 fold. Can't wait till he's back on the roster.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 11:28 PM) If Reed and Morse pan out, it's still a good trade. Olivo is a bust in my opinion. I agree and to think the person I was most upset about losing was Miggy. I agree with what BHAM said, I'll root for Miguel to get it back together unfortunately I just don't think it's going to happen.

Congrats to Mike.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) Ain't isn't even a word. How could you spell it correctly? Actually, I'm pretty sure it is a word.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 10:24 PM) Losing three games is not the end of the world. The way we lost the first two games of this series was a serious concern to alot of people, as it should have been. It was ugly because they were back to back blowouts, however those 2 ended up making it 3 times we've been out of a game this year, it happens. Unfortunately we've had 4 bad starts in a row but that's what the ace is for to stop the bleeding the rotation, Mark's our guy, he'll get the rotation back on track.

This thread should read "paybacks a mojo"

That game lacked action.....

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 07:23 PM) May I ask when there is a good time to go into a funk??? By the way the sox will win this game. QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 07:24 PM) @ the optimist. We got rocked, plain and simple. Yup, we sure did Jabroni.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) Yup, two replaced hips and 88 years old. She runs a 4.5 - 40. But before the hip replacements wasn't she in the 4.2 range?

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) Hermy? Or Politte still? Cliff.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 08:43 PM) Kong hits a choppa.. thrown out on a hit that my gramma coulda made 1st on. Rumor has it that your grandma has some serious speed.

The dreaded strikezone came back. Good thing it doesn't matter now.

Cliff does his thing. Neal's era is getting close to that 2 mark.
