QUOTE(ISF @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) Carlos Lee outproduces Albert Pujols.

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 01:04 PM) Thanks Santo=Dorf, but I found a pic. Great job knightni

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 12:06 AM) I don't know about hte Sabean comment. Don't they win between 90 and 100 games every year? We should be so lucky Barry Bonds, take him off that team and they're absolutely awful.

Just testing

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 10:06 PM) LOL! Whatever... :rolly Maggs came into the league almost exactly one year before Drew. Career stats... Drew: 127 HR, 373 RBI, .287 BA, .904 OPS Maggs: 187 HR, 703 RBI, .307 BA, .889 OPS Maggs has had 3807 career ABs in just over seven full seasons. In contrast, Drew has only had 2415 ABs in just over six full seasons because he can't stay healthy. Unless Maggs' knee condition is beyond repair, he'll continue out-produce Drew over the course of their careers. I'm not saying Drew is automatically going to be better then maggs, however he arguably had a year that maggs has never accomplished, you can't just assume that maggs will for sure have a better season.

BOOOOOOOOOOO. Congrats Greasy, good choice aboz

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) Agreed that they overpaid for Maggs but, unless Maggs' bum knee lingers, there's no way that Drew will out-perform him. Not necessarily true. Drew had an ops of over 1 something maggs has never done before.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 07:26 PM) He was after the updates is what i'm saying. I know when he was in the game. I own it. Right. So exactly what Tony said applies, he has to play a game in the majors to be in the game. He played some games before the updates, therefore he was available. Understand?

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 07:24 PM) Then why did they put Kaz Matsui in it last year? For fun? He wasn't in the game.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 07:19 PM) i think if they are given major league contracts and come from japan they would make exceptions.. Nope, no Kaz last year, no shingo.

QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) I guess if they couldn't send Escobar to AAA this is alright. I was big on Escobar, I wanted him to make this team. He had 0 chance to make the team. Just to many outfielders.

:puke

QUOTE(qwerty @ Feb 12, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) That needs to be changed though. Agreed....... QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 12, 2005 -> 12:45 PM) They need to get rid of the fans' votes while they are at it too. .........and Agreed.

Here's the thing about Pods, he had a bad year last year with the stick but still scored 85 runs. Although 85 isn't a ton it's still more then Kotsay and Pods averaged more runs per game then Shannon Stewart did. I made the comparison with those two because both of those guys have high on base percentages but a low amount of stolen bases. Just an interesting comparison, imo.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Feb 12, 2005 -> 10:48 AM) I have seen shingo hit 90-91 nearly everytime he pitched last year. Ditto. I think Shingo is going to be fine, as people have said already that speed differential is just to hard for the hitters to get a read on. I think Shingo keeps his era under 3 for sure, jmo.

I bought the Ozzie plan, so I'm locked into 14 games so far but I'll get to atleast 20.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 03:53 PM) The punishments are too light... This sicko ought to get 25 years to life in jail. Same with any murderer. I can't stand people like this. No, he deserves worse then that. He deserves a f***in bat to the head.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 11:37 PM) IIRC, we were the underdogs last year too...or if we weren't, we should have been. That didn't work out so well for us either. Who gives a flyin' f*** what the media has to say? If you give a s*** about that stuff, you've already lost half the battle. Agreed.

Well, there's less then a week before pitchers and catchers report, nothing is really going on right now, all these publications are starting to make predictions. Anyone think it's time for the official soxtalk predictions thread?? or still to early?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 10:52 PM) Not very good as in it's the worst division in the majors I said not very good, GOSH, give me a break.

QUOTE(GASHWOUND @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 10:44 PM) Has any columnist or radio guy in Chicago picked us for anything? Also I don't think it's a far reach that he picked the Cubs..they're pretty good I don't think the Cubs are going to win their division but I don't htink it's a reach, as Cheat has mentioned plenty of times, the NL Central isn't very good.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) Honestly, yes I do. A top 5 draft pick and a defensive starter is more than enough for that *insert expletive deleted here*. Here's the thing, Angelo is in the position to draft a WR of Moss' calibur with that #4 pick without giving up anything in return. Yup, Williams is that good. Well......they're in position to draft a very good reciever but I wouldn't say of Moss's calibur. I'm interested to see of you bears fans, how many would like Randy on the team and how many wouldn't??

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 11:06 PM) Stolen from an Iowa board but this is reportedly an account of Pierce's recent incident. Pierce decided to go to his girlfriends house in which an arguement occured, the police responded by going to the girls house and telling pierce to leave in which he did. Then later on that night pierce came back and walked in the house and threw her up against the couch he then went into the kitchen and grabbed a knife, the girl ran upstairs and locked herself in a room for 2 hours, thinking by that time Pierce had left she went back down stairs but Pierce was still in her living room, he then grabbed her and stripped her down and choked her and he said " is this how ur new boyfriend does it" and " is this how u like it now" later she managed to run out the door and get in her car but pierce caught up to her and grabbed the steering wheel but she put in reverse and got away, and she then went to a friends house , during this team pierce destroyed the 1st floor of her house and ransacked her room. Wow, what a mess :headshake

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 10:15 PM) Tis fair enough. Guess I made it in late to see that you didn't want to argue. Oh well Ha, don't worry about it Wite. I respect your guys opinion on Oakland, I just have a different opinion on it, so imo it's just kind of pointless to argue about it since neither of us are going to change our opinions.
