QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 09:16 AM) Just wondering where you came up with this theory but, according to last years stats Willie is actually the better leadoff hitter.. if you wanna compare AVG and OBP.. No offense to willie cause I have nothing against him but he's no where near the player scott is. Scott does so many things that doesn't show up in the stats to help a team win games.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 09:21 AM) Fine by me. I'm sure they haven't lost it yet, but this keeps that chip on the players' shoulder. No doubt. Brantley says the sox have bullpen issues that will show up later in the season :rolly EDIT: I could care less what these guys have to say but imo the bullpen is the strongest area on the team and he thinks it's a weak spot, yeah he's an idiot.

"Coming up next on sportcenter why our experts say teh white sox won't make the playoffs this year." This should be interesting.

Happy belated bday, hope you had a good one.

QUOTE(ISF @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 10:43 PM) Geez. The groin has a good game and everyone's ready to canonize him. He's certainly a better leadoff hitter than Willie Harris, but this guy batted .244 last year. How 'bout we wait a little while before retiring his jersey? Just incase you didn't see it in the other thread that is the worst nickname ever. Anyways I've just fallen in love with the way scott plays the game and it's not from one game. When he's on base he's in scoring position and he messes with the pitchers minds takes them out of their rythms and next think you know there is a couple runs on the board.

QUOTE(ISF @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 10:46 PM) The groin I'm sorry but that is the DUMBEST nickname I have ever seen. EDIT: As for Juan and his sac flies, it seems when he has a job to do he makes sure just to make contact and not over swing. A lot of times in regular situations he pulls off the ball cause he's swinging so hard, he stays on the pitch much longer when he has a job to do.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 12:14 AM) Rowand's always been a slow starter. He'll hit. Agreed, I have no worries about Aaron or Jermaine I think they'll both be fine.

Sounds like the Twins keep adding more and more depth to that farm system of theirs.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 10:06 PM) His arm is also a noodle arm ( wo0t he has one assist that anyone could have made) he also has problems picking the ball up much like rowand who does it every other game and it really pisses me off to no end. I know what i have heard about him and seen from him in the past and he was bad. I can only hope it changes for the better but i do not have high hopes. You don't have to respond since i know how you feel about his defense. Am I allowed to respond? Fair enough on your comments, everyone has their own opinion though mine is always right.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 09:54 PM) Brewers fans won't i can tell you that much. He misreads balls all the time, gets bad jumps too, he does make up for it most times with his speed... but he cannot be classified a good fielder. I've seen him misplay one ball this year and in spring training when I was down there I'll tell you he was getting outstanding jumps. As I said before I couldn't recall his defense when he was with the brewers so maybe he wasn't a great centerfielder but as of right now I'd classify him as a pretty good left fielder from what I've seen out of him. Obviously it's early but that's my early opinion on him.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 09:48 PM) ( even though he is a butcher in the field himself). I completely disagree with that.

QUOTE(walktokittle @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) Hi Looking for links to pictures from this year's SoxFest. Thanks Whitesox.com has some in their photo gallery.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) Thats a good think Everett/Konerko could use a day off..... I think carl's fine considering he's been the dh all this year minus 1 inning.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) Timo doesnt have bad defense..... I know you all hate the way he catches the ball but he always makes the catch so I dont see how that makes him a bad defender. He also has a really good arm too. Timo's got a very strong arm but very little range, he does make the routine plays though which is more then you can say about ross in the outfield. I'm one of Timo's biggest fans on this board but he's not a great outfielder.

Will he ever shut up?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 06:23 PM) How bout we stop worrying about what the Twins do and tend to what the White Sox need to do... We have to worry about the twins, there going to be with us step by step this year, they're a very good team. So far the sox have been taking care of business but nobody besides the sox has been able to beat minny.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) Does it really matter if they switch spots in the line-up? Either way they they have both been pretty s***ty. It is really hurting us considering we have basically gotten zip from those two combined. They need to be broke up with someone, pierz perhaps? I wouldn't say it's really been hurting considering we're 12 and 4. I personally like the way the lineup is and as long as the sox are winning I wouldn't change anything.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 03:33 PM) LOL! Plachske is a f***ing moron. He says we finally have a team to fit our ballpark, a team of speed and defense. Does he know how much of a hitter's park the Cell is? If you're gonna defend our team, do it correctly. That guy is about as bad as Mariotti. Such a dumbs***. Same thing came to my mind when he said that.

We lost on around the horn meaning no central division title, damn.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 03:23 PM) Oh Noes!! hopefully Mariotti is gone HE GONE!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) How does that work? we allowed only 3 runs Right, and the team era went down.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 01:32 PM) didn't he walk off triple last night?? Not a walkoff but a go ahead triple in the top of the 10th.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 01:30 PM) I was expecting 14-2 ... We SUCK!!!!!! I agree, rebuilding time

GONG. That was a huge inning for shingo, he located everything well and got ahead in the counts, hopefully that'll help his confidence and get him back going.

1-6-3 dp, thatta boy Mark.
