QUOTE(NCsoxfan @ May 1, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) What is Garlands contract status? How many more years is he locked up? Sorry this is off topic, I just didnt want to start a new thread just for that. Arbitration eligible after this year and then a free agent after the 06 season.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 1, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) You don't need a whole lot of run support when you pitch shutouts. YASNY, I always knew you were smart but this comment just blew me away.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ May 1, 2005 -> 10:56 PM) Well, he's talking in terms of run support. When Buehrle faces Santana, Radke, Sabathia, or Greinke, he ain't getting much run support. Now, Garland on the other hand? I don't have the statistics handy, and Garland doesn't exactly need any run support for the time being, but how many runs have we averaged per game for Garland thus far, and how does that figure compare to the rest of our starters? Actually, can anyone recommend a site where one can look these things up? Ask Juggs, I've got a hunch he knows where to find some stats.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 1, 2005 -> 10:52 PM) The trade that they did when they acquired Eric Milton for Silva and Nick Punto IIRC, was definitely another great move by Terry Ryan. Silva should provide an ERA of around 4 and win about 13 to 15 games, which is really pretty damn good for a #3 starter, especially in the AL. Ya, that sure worked well you know the Twins acquiring Milton and all

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 1, 2005 -> 10:39 PM) What Ryan are you all talking about? Sweeney, why he was drafted in the 2nd round when everyone thought he was a first round talent.

QUOTE(flippedoutpunk @ May 1, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) aw that was supposed to be a joke I thought it was funny fop.

3E8 it was your idea, you have to tell us yours.

QUOTE(3E8 @ May 1, 2005 -> 10:30 PM) Let's turn this into a "What would your home run call sound like?" thread. A LA PROFUNO EEEEEEE NOOOOOOOO NO NO NO NO NO.

QUOTE(shagar69 @ May 1, 2005 -> 10:19 PM) Dee's not going anywhere, but im still not confident that we're gonna be good next year. It all depends on how Augie progresses, how good Randle, Arnold, Brock, and Pruitt are, and how Carter and McBride progress You guys will be absolutely fine.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ May 1, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) Would be a decent idea...except Im giving 60% odds on him not playing in the next series, hes way past due for a Rondell Injury Ha, I was actually going to add "as long as he's not injured" to my last post.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ May 1, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) As long as Dee is back we have a chance to be very good without Rush. He'll be back.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ May 1, 2005 -> 10:07 PM) Hey Rondell...that fire better get real hot real fast... The Sox have outscored your ass 27-10 in the first five games they have played your sorry asses and we have won 4 out of those 5! Detroit looks to be in the lead for the team with the most to say, SIGNIFYING NOTHING Bring It! Well next time we play them we should just throw another one behind him if it's that easy to get him out of his game.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 1, 2005 -> 10:04 PM) I see Dimitri Young didn't play either. Probably got sick of all the abuse from that prediction of his. The Tigers have faired pretty well against the sox and twins since he opened his mouth.

QUOTE(Tmar28 @ May 1, 2005 -> 09:54 PM) booooooo (throws rotten fruit) Tmar said something funny

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ May 1, 2005 -> 09:47 PM) The problem I have would not be the penalties. I am all for the stiffer penalties. But they need to make sure they have comprehensive testing, surprise tests, at home tests in season or out of season and no limit on the number of tests for a player. Stiff penalties won't help if the players figure out how to mask the test results. Very true Rex. I also think they need to ban way more substances.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 1, 2005 -> 09:27 PM) Yea, you are lucky he didn't hit you. You would've been flat on your ass. And had you tried to charge the mound, Garland would've planted you. :fyou Rondell [end of rant] LOL, Rondell had his chance to go after Jon but he didn't cause he's a pussy, the end.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ May 1, 2005 -> 09:21 PM) We obviously still have non-believers. Maybe May will change their minds. Go CLE & Go SOX! It has nothing to do with not believing in this team, I've believed in this team from day one and I have a ton of confidence in this bunch. That being said it's freakin May and the Twins also have one hell of a team, like I said in another thread I honestly think the sox and twins quite possibly are the 2 best teams in the al this year.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ May 1, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) Hmmm, I thought that Zack was the Royals ace? From ace to 5th starter...that blows. Kevin Brown has to be ahead of Wright, no? The others sound right. I know that the Twins have a rookie in the 5th spot right now...I forget his name. It ain't Mays. Actually Mays is back. Oh yeah and Greinke is their ace, period.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ May 1, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) I said it before and I'll say it again, I love that call. I actually do to

QUOTE(KWs OK for Me @ May 1, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) I think JG is a 20 game winner for one reason, he is in the 5 hole, he matches up against 5th starters (for the most part). Here is a list of the fifth starters in the AL: Kevin Gregg, Joe Blanton, Dave Bush, Hideo Nomo, Scott Elarton, Ryan Franklin, Bruce Chen, Pedro Astacio, Bronson Arroyo, Zach Greinke,Wilfredo Ledezma, Joe Mays, Kevin Brown I know that I'd take Garland in any game over any of those guys. If he continues to throw strikes, get the ground ball outs, and continue to limit his walks I dont see why he can't be a 20 game winner this year I don't necessarily agree with that. I'd say he's as likely to matchup with an ace as he is to with a 5th starter later on in the year. Jon's a different pitcher this year, all the sudden his sinker is just moving all over the freakin place, he's using his changeup well and he's just more confident then he's ever been. Jon's going to win us a lot of game this year.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 1, 2005 -> 09:08 PM) I guess Pablo's alright Pablo's impressed me so much already this year, he seems to do everything right. He can hit, he can run and he can field. He's a good player.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 1, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) Impossible with only 137 games left Yeah, especially when we only play them 14 more times this year.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ May 1, 2005 -> 08:34 PM) With our depth, or lack thereof, in the middle infield, and our lack of a true utility IFer, we will still have some interest in him. We don't need a move, because we have all kinds of guys that can play that...but why have 2 guys that play 4 positions when you can have 1 guy that plays all 4? That is an extra roster spot that could become needed. Pablo. Honestly, right now there isn't much to mess with on this team, I think Frank Thomas might be our big move this year, honestly. Obviously injuries can and will happen but there is a lot of depth everywhere to get through something like that happening.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 1, 2005 -> 08:17 PM) Can you give me a link where I said I hated Garland and didn't want him in the roatation? I'm looking Anyways, these offseason threads are entertaining to look at.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ May 1, 2005 -> 08:11 PM) not drafted, from Mexico Riiiight. I don't know what the hell I was thinking I think I was thinking of Ritchie who I believe was a first or 2nd rounder
