QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) Did you read what I said... I lowered his grade because he hasn't gotten rid of Willie fast enough. Like I've been saying for the last two weeks he hurts us on the bench because he has no versatility. I want him gone ASAP now that a replacement has been brought in. What the hell does it matter how fast he gets rid of willie?? It's called patience, kenny has to make one more move to get a veteran who can play short and then we'll see what happens with willie.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 11:23 AM) No, that's YOUR lineup for 2005. Guillen already stated in soxfest this lineup.. Podsednik Uribe Dye Konerko Everett Rowand Pierzynski Crede Harris Now I think it will be.. Podsednik Iguchi Dye Konerko Everett Rowand Pierzynski Uribe Crede I think that'll be a good chance to be the lieup for the first game of the season. Agreed, except opening day I wouldn't be surprised to see Iguchi leading off and spod batting 2nd since we're facing cc, I remember a couple times at the beginning of last year he'd lead off juan and bat willie 2nd against lefties. Also at soxfest he sounded unsure whether he wanted to lead scott off against left handers.

I'm expecting at worst .270/.340, I'm not really sure about the power numbers though and I'm not concerned with those either.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) A+++++++++++++++ Agreed, I'm so f***in stoked with this team, I can't wait for the year to start, he's filled every single hole we had coming into the offseason, absolute fantastic job.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 02:58 PM) Can somebody tell me if Iguchi bats left, right, or switch? He's a righty.

Wow, great f***in job kenny. Lineup as of now without frank: pods iguchi dye pauly everett rowand aj uribe crede Wow, that's one deep lineup.

The last thing this offseason has been is dull, whether you like the changes or not it's been an exciting offseason.

QUOTE(Spod=Ratings @ Jan 23, 2005 -> 11:30 PM) My wallpaper may have jsut changed. Gold you are great at this He's a god at this stuff, all 3 are damn good but the mark and freddy one was originially made for me so it has a special place in my heart

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Jan 23, 2005 -> 11:04 PM) http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...ndpost&p=563024 Very cool, my favorite is still the mark and freddy one though.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 23, 2005 -> 09:48 PM) I wasn't able to find any video of the fight, but I did manage to find some still footage.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jan 23, 2005 -> 09:32 PM) Don't knock wrestling, brother. I'll be forced to cut a promo on you.... oooooooohhhhhhhh yyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jan 23, 2005 -> 08:12 PM) I'm not creative, I just happen to like the phrase... I even added Dye to make it work. Buehrle is in because my guy Aboz wanted to see him in it. Don't mind me, my computer went psycho and the old banner got cut or changed(kinda wierd) now I see you're new one, great job

At first I didn't like it but it's already growing on me, I think I'd just get rid of the nb all together though. EDIT: This one looks badass, I'm still not sure about the nb but you're the creative one not me

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jan 23, 2005 -> 10:30 AM) Personally, I say f*** the rivalry and I would much rather see the Sox kicking the Twins ass everytime...but thats just me though. Ditto.

This win impressed the hell out of me, I really thought they were going to lose this game, I'm very impressed

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Jan 22, 2005 -> 03:20 PM) I dont really see a spot for him on the bulls uniform.... but i absolutely love the guy... he just made one realllllly bad mistake. Never gonna forget the triple-double he put up against jason kidd. I hope he goes anywhere but NY or LA As a duke fan Jay is one of my favorites if not my favorite player ever, I loved watching the guy in college, just one hell of a talent. I really hope he lands on his feet somewhere, like you said he made one real bad mistake.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 22, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) Is this ever gonna stop. Easily got 15 inches up here in Lake County. Sun was out for a few minutes but snow is back. Low visibility! Yup, it stopped for a bit and now is coming down hard again.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jan 22, 2005 -> 01:12 PM) Yes, I think that's a fair assumption. And if you were White Sox management, you'd probably want a safety net for 2B in case Iguchi is a bust, yes? I know I would. And not a rookie ... a proven guy. To me, that means either a trade for a veteran utility guy, ala Graffanino or someone like him, or bring in a safety net at SS and use Uribe as a guy who could pick up the slack at 2B if necessary. There are really no FA's left at 2B. I agree 100 percent.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jan 22, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) Valid points. A question for you though ... let's assume for a sec they sign Iguchi. Do you think he would come over from Japan without some assurance he will at the very least get first crack at the starting job? Also, do you think the White Sox would pay $2.9M for two years guaranteed for a guy to come over and platoon at one position? It is not so much that the fans have a problem with Harris. Our opinions on a message board matter very little, to be blunt. To me, it's a huge concern when those associated with the team appear to have multiple problems with Harris. Huge red flag. Jim, if Iguchi comes over here he's going to be the starter. Like I've stated numerous times I have no problem with Willie but I like the advantages that comes with Iguchi, now I agree with you and Jeckle that if Iguchi is signed Willie might have to be made expendable to grab a utility guy, jmo.

QUOTE(chisox2334 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 06:58 PM) guys my friend said that its under espn insider about iguchi so please check It's there from a couple of days ago just saying that the sox are interested.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 06:49 PM) Is it just me, or is Kenny pretty bad at keeping his poker face straight? Right when we (meaning the crowd @ Soxfest) asked him about Iguchi, he started laughing a bit to himself. He gave the company line answer, but you know/knew that he was going hard after him... He's awful, if there is ever a real soxtalk poker tournament he's invited

Weren't the same questions circuling Buehrle last year?? The man is just a horse, imo if there is a sure thing in MLB Mark Buehrle is about as close to it as there is.

Take it fwiw in one of the forums on Japanesebaseball.com someone posted that Jayson Stark said that Iguchi is very close to signing a 3 year deal with the sox, I personally haven't heard anything but just posting what I saw, once again take it fwiw.

An inshape Carl is a good hitter and he's in good condition, I'm expecting big things out of him this year.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Feb 21, 2004 -> 03:20 PM) Buehrle is gonna be somethin.. He already is QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Feb 21, 2004 -> 11:28 PM) i hurried and picked me up an authentic road buehrle jersey and it's got the all-star patch on it, one of a kind. Plan to wear it to all the games this year. That's nice aboz. I got a freddy jersey with the allstar patch on in gray also, I love those jersey's. Very cool how you got that aboz.
