Anderson could potentially break out, it ain't going to be here though.

Miami is real good at limiting possessions, they know what they're doing out there. I'm not going to argue on Xavier, if you're not sold on them yet then I can understand that, however, imo they're an extremely good team. I'll leave it at that.

I got and love College Hoops. I do every year though, so if you usually like the game I'd recommend it, if not then there isn't too much different about it. There's a few new features though and I've been playing it to death.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 07:30 PM) I'm sitting here baffled at how anyone could be predicting a NC for an Indiana team that was humbled on a neutral court against a mid-major. They may very well be contenders come March, but not? Certainly not. Xavier is pretty good and IU played about as bad as they could. Now, I don't think they're going to win the NC but that reasoning has nothing to do with the loss to Xavier. That's not a bad loss at all.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 07:52 PM) Does a world series team seem like one who had pitchers put up ERA's of 4.48, 4.54, 4.78, and 7.15, who's leadoff hitter put up a .314 OBP, and who's LF hit .199 the year before? The guys I just gave you were Robertson, Bonderman, Maroth, Verlander, Granderson, and Thames in 2005. Sure, it might be a bit unfair saying that Justin Verlander was going to fail in 2006 based on the 7.15 ERA he put up in 11 innings in 2005, but I don't see how that's any more unfair than what you just did with the rookie seasons of Richar, Quentin, Danks, and to a lesser extent Floyd. Game Balta.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 06:40 PM) It should have been made the day of World Series game 1 in 05... Game 2. I agree.

Heads and I still haven't met, thus this thread should never have been bumped.

He's got a big head.

I got a few final papers to write and I'm done.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 02:40 AM) Nice summary ... but ... Ordonez was not finished like the Sox doctors suggested or KW suggested. He is fine now. The Lee trade saved money. I'll give you that. But Lee was a stud. Rowand brought Thome. The question is could anybody else have brought Thome? KW does not make trades that we clearly WIN. Bartolo Colon.

I'll take Roberts and Bedard. There, it should be that simple.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 01:13 AM) I was looking for 'no, it's painfully boring' Ya, well you knew that already.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 01:06 AM) Hey Justin, wanna watch some Scrubs with me? Lets just turn this into the Rowand inside joke thread.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 12:31 AM) You're the worst character ever. Take that back.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 12:39 AM) The thing is, KW had a plan this offseason and it was to bring in at least one of Hunter or Cabrera. Now neither of them are here and we are stuck with Crede, Uribe, Linebrink, and Cabrera. Don't you think it would have been wise to wait and see if we actually acquired the key parts to the plan before we started to pick up some of the minor parts? Now, instead of being able to go into a rebuild mode since the plan has failed, we can't because we traded Garland for a 33 year SS in his last of a contract and signed a mediocre reliever to a pretty big contract. f***ing pitiful. Woah woah, wasn't defending what Kenny has done this offseason transaction wise, I just don't give a s*** about what he has to say at the moment. He's frustrated too, I just want him to make this team better, his comments on why we didn't get someone don't interest me.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 12:13 AM) I'd never listen to a towel. You're a towel.

Kenny is grumpy like the rest of us. Seriously, who the hell cares what he has to say at the moment, I just want him to go on to plan ZZ or whatever and get this team some players.

Our ooc conference schedule is hard.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 09:36 PM) That's the dumbest thing I think I've ever seen posted on Soxtalk. QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 12:06 AM) And this is the smartest thing ever posted on soxtalk Lies.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 07:25 PM) I wouldn't take advice from anyone on this site, or the entire internet for that matter. We're all a bunch of f***ing dorks. Except me, you can always take advice from me.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 09:12 PM) Poor Karl Malone. Louisiana Tech is the worst team I have ever seen. They have 13 points in the game with 11 minutes to go... in the 2nd half. Texas Tech 56-13 so far. Ouch. I thought it was bad when we held them to like 13 points in the first half last season.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 09:04 PM) Quit talking about facts, Balta. Rowand is "god". Well, I certainly don't think he's a god and up until now I've been pretty against re-signing Aaron. That being said, we need a cf and we need one badly. Rowand has been just about as good of a hitter as Hunter overall and with what Torii got from the Angels, I think getting ARow for that kind of deal would be a steal. For this deal and under this circumstance, I think acquiring Aaron would be fantastic. I don't think it's going to happen though, at least not with this offer.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 06:32 PM) Yep. That's a down year for Konerko and a good year for Kotchman. Go figure. Oh yeah, it's also the first time Kotchman has put up any numbers like that, whereas Konerko has surpassed that .839 OPS 8 times in his career. Care to explain Kotchman's Ervin Santana-like splits and how they would help the White Sox who don't play 81 games in Anaheim? Your first baseman is supposed to be a slugger and run producer. That OBP is a one year event and most of it was due to his numbers in Anaheim. You're going nuts over the splits of a hitter who plays in a pitchers park.

Did Steve Phillips just say that Johan and Dontrelle are close in terms of ablility?
