QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 23, 2009 -> 04:40 PM) Two of my favorite AJ moments mentioned..... There's just something great about his walkoff against the Dodgers, then the bat flip.... I think that's when a lot of people started to realize that team could be special. Not to mention the re-birth of "go go white sox."

Have a good one, dude!

Hopefully we can face him in the playoffs. It'd be nice to have an automatic win. And I can't believe anyone would call him a "great" or "excellent" pitcher, get out of here with that non sense.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 22, 2009 -> 04:40 PM) We are #2. Gavin-Danks-Garcia is better than Pettitte-Joba-Huges. Joba ruins bullpens because he can only pitch half games and Hughes should stay in the pen. Pettitte is a good #4 IMO. The Red Sox are the only team that is clearly better especially 1-3. Beckett-Lackey-Lester is pretty f***ing good. Nobody's rotation is clearly better than us. I'd definitely accept the argument that the Red Sox and Braves have better rotations than we do but you can make an argument that ours is the number 1 in baseball as well.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 22, 2009 -> 01:15 AM) God bless Peter Tomarken... Hey SS2k5, check this little nugget out. I was not aware of this: Michael Larson "cheats" Press Your Luck Ya, I saw a documentary on that dude before. Interesting stuff and I used to watch that show(and the reincarnated version "whammy") all the time on GSN.

Embarrassing. The end.

QUOTE (striker @ Dec 21, 2009 -> 02:24 PM) I'm not sure if you have to worry about the average fans backlash if Pods doesn't come back. If this message board is the average fan than I think alot of people didn't want him back in the first place. The average fan was happy to see him go. Those fans that are upset that Pods isn't returning, won't even remember Pods after the season actually starts. The average poster around here though isn't the average fan.

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 21, 2009 -> 12:59 PM) gotta make the last basket before stopping Ya, that's another one for me. Jeez, I didn't realize how OCD I really was 'til I read this thread.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 21, 2009 -> 01:43 PM) Hell, remember the year we had Loaiza put up Cy young numbers and Colon/Buehrle in the rotation. Geeze those early 2000 teams underperformed like no tomorrow under Jerry Manuel. So much freaking talent. I would have never got over 2003 if it wasn't for 2005. That 03 team should have won the WS.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 21, 2009 -> 12:12 PM) I also always press the lock button for my car door with the electronic thing 4 or 5 times everytime I want to lock my car. Ditto.

But anyways, here's my personal list: 1. Final out of the WS 2. Pods walk off 3. El Duque's inning 4. Blum's homer 5. Konerko's granny 6. Juan's catch 7. Mark's perfect game 8. Crede's walk off against the Indians 9. Jenks and Cotts blowing away the Astros in the 8th inning of game 1 10. 1st inning of game 1 against Boston. Hard to keep game 163 off there but every moment of 05 just triumphs almost everything for me.

For me personally, the only moment I could list outside of 05 is Mark's perfect game.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Dec 21, 2009 -> 12:43 PM) Also pat pockets constantly checking on wallet and keys. This is probably my main one. Pretty much anytime I get up to move I check to make sure I got my wallet in my right pocket and cellphone/keys in my left. Also do the re-checking of the alarm and putting my money in my wallet in order of value.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 20, 2009 -> 08:15 PM) I know what you're saying. Who and what are we? Right now, we're seemingly a team who plays like garbage for the majority of a game and mans up when we need to. Oh ya, and we have the best player on the court no matter what when Kevin is out there. He's just ridiculous, as a sophomore... We need to stop this crap though, there is absolutely no reason for this. Don't get me wrong, I'm f***in ecstatic we've gotten these wins but we're a lot more talented than these f***ers, this shouldn't be happening. Oh ya, and we need to get healthy. Having 7 healthy scholarship players right now is rough.

What the f*** man. I hate this team. I really f***in hate this team. I love you Kevin Dillard. Another terrible performance and another win. Ridiculous. 9 days off now to get healthy for Valley play.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Dec 20, 2009 -> 01:32 PM) Happened with Buehrle in '05...albeit in odd circumstances I'll admit. Maybe an end of World Series situation. Here's hopin'. Fair enough. I thought you were talking about the Sox going to a 3 man rotation with Danks coming out of the pen. That wont happen.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Dec 20, 2009 -> 02:11 PM) In a playoff series we actually could see Danks used as a reliever some. . No chance. That's pretty bad to write an article like that and just forget about Jake Peavy.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 20, 2009 -> 01:24 PM) Bradley vs. Iowa State today. The stoppable force vs. the moveable object. lol nice.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 10:02 PM) I turned it off when we were down 11 with about 3 minutes left, came back to see what the final was and saw we won, and texted Rowand. Too funny. Yup. I turned off the game as well and proceeded to chuck my headphones at my wall. Decided I was going to check Salukitalk to see the final and I read "Fay for the win." I was beyond confused. f***in awesome. QUOTE (kev211 @ Dec 20, 2009 -> 02:10 AM) Wichita State beats Texas Tech. ITS A MIRACLE THE VALLEY HAS NO RIGHT WINNING THIS GAME!!! MAN I CAN'T BELIEVE IT OUR TOP TEAMS CANT EVEN HANG WITH THE s***TY BIG TEN TEAMS!!! Valley Pretty damn solid day for the league yesterday. Would have been nice if Creighton could have pulled that one out at New Mexico and Drake lost the battle of the suck against Iowa but still a nice day for the Valley. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 20, 2009 -> 08:07 AM) They held San Diego to 1 for 5 in the final 3 minutes and didnt put them on the free throw line once, which is amazing because they were over the limit and already put them there for 32 free throws. Hell of a comeback, even if it is against a WCC team that was predicted to be 7th. This team can score, if they finally can get back a bit of their floorburn U identity they could do some damage Two completely different halves. We started to care in the 2nd half, it was amazing how much different the defensive intensity was in the 2nd half, you could tell from the first possession in the 2nd half that we were a different team. I have no f***in clue why this team needs a wake up call every god damn game but that goes back to the mental lapses I've been talking about with you. It'd be freakin nice if we can get healthy though, we only played 7 scholarship players in the 2nd half cause of injuries, making that comeback even more impressive. And ya, USD isn't anything special but they do have a few solid wins and they're by far our best win so far so this was a huge W for us.

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM WHAT?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 07:39 PM) I have 2nd best starter for Floyd. Always have. Always will. Vazquez the number 1?

Some crazy stuff in that Butler-Xavier game today.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 08:18 AM) Like I said, Burnett is probably the only guy out of the pitchers you listed I wouldn't take over Buehrle. It's real close. I agree with your overall point but I'd definitely take Mark over Burnett and I'd also bet a lot of money that Danks will be our 2nd best if not best overall pitcher this season.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 19, 2009 -> 09:09 AM) If both of the Freemans(especially Tony) continue to be hampered by injuries, the Salukis will have a tough year ahead of them. If they could get past that, they could put up a nice run in the MVC this year. Sounds like Tony has gotten almost completely healthy. John's injury doesn't seem to be getting better unfortunately, it appears he's just going to have to try and tough that one out the rest of the season.
