Rockies win and Aaron homers? I'm cool with that.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 11:01 AM) Andruw Jones. pfffft. Who cares? Let's stick to the real headliner free agents... I mean, Ross Gload is available, for crying out loud! Get it done KW! Gload+Graffanino=championship.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 10:56 AM) If he has to accept one of those classic "Boras 1 year make up for a bad year" deals, a-la what Millwood, Weaver kept having to do, I would actually be open to that. He wont have to.

QUOTE(StatManDu @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 10:45 AM) THIS DATE IN WHITE SOX HISTORY: OCT 3 2005: The White Sox began their historic postseason run and ended their maddening home playoff losing streak with a bang in a 14-2 win over the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of the American League Division Series before 40,717 at US Cellular Field. This matinee affair was over in a hurry as the Sox pinned a five-spot on the defending World Series champions in the first inning thanks to a three-run home run by AJ Pierzynski and RBIs from Paul Konerko and Aaron Rowand. Pierzynski homered again in joining Ted Kluszewski (Game 1, 1959 World Series) as the only Sox players to go deep twice in a postseason game. Paul Konerko, Juan Uribe and Scott Podsednik, who did not homer in the regular season, hit roundtrippers later in the game as the Sox won a postseason game for the first time in US Celluar Field ending a five-game skid which dated to Game 6 of the 1993 American League Championship Series. The win also halted a nine-game overall home postseason losing streak, which started with Game 2 of the 1959 World Series at the original Comiskey Park. Jose Contreras pitched into the eighth inning, giving up eight hits while striking out six for the victory. Ya, that was fun. I miss that.

Fudge Felipe Lopez, I want Khalil Greene(not gonna happen but it was rumored before, so I'll bring it up again).

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 10:36 AM) I dont know how we can rely on Richar putting up league avg numbers with such certainty. It wouldnt be that bad to get him some seasoning as a super sub and see if he can grab the job from a Vet starter. And there is a bit of something about the effect that Rowand has on team's clubhouses, no matter how much people on here dont want to admit it. IMO I'll take my chances with Richar rather than throwing 3 million at an aging, average 2b. I do believe Richar will put up league average numbers at least, and like I said he's a better defender than Tad already. Agreed on Row though.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 10:25 AM) Gooch - no thanks. A-Row - no thanks again, but I've talked about this before. Agreed on Gooch, Richar should be able to put up around league average numbers next season for less money and far more range at 2nd than Gooch. As for Rowand, well we need to find a cf some where. Depending on the cost, I'm certainly not opposed to it but he's not exactly my first choice either.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 09:55 AM) Well Mike North just had Don't Stop Believing playing, and said this is for the cub fans, good luck and dont stop believing. We can officially pull his fake white sox fan card. Ok, that's crossing the f***in line.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 08:36 PM) Do we want him? He only hit .222 but if the ball is lively next year he could be in for a comeback season. I think he'd be a good acquisition. There's no way he's going to get the kind of money he wants unless there's some horrible GM out there willing to open the wallet. How bout two years 15 million total? Welcome to Chicago, Andruw. His agent is Scott Boras. 15 a year for like 5 years might get him. And that's just a number I'm throwing out there.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 08:32 AM) I found it rather painful. I didn't watch it but I just can't see any way how that show would be good.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 08:19 AM) That .222 BA, .311 OBP, and .724 OPS this year was pretty shocking. What a huge drop off in production from his previous couple years. So where does he go? Boston, NY, Texas? He definitely seems like a Texas type of move.

Drunk betting=this kid having a mohawk now.

South Park Eve.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 06:17 PM) The Mets said they would trade him only if we took back Jose Valentin. Pssh, he's the prize of the deal.

I'll start so everyone can yell at me for taking too many underdogs or something: NL: Rockies over Phils in 3 DBacks over Cubs in 5 Rockies over DBacks in 6 AL: Indians over Yanks in 4 Angels over Bosox in 5 Angels over Indians in 7 World Series: Rockies over Angels in 7

QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 10:00 AM) i apparently like the girliest wines available. I'm ok with that. All you drink is girl drinks. Probably because you're a girl.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 06:20 AM) But is it more like "Keep Away" with those guys? Maybe they can tell that they don't get the ball because everybody puposely throws away from them? Or are they just wusses? No, our qb tries to throw to everyone, if you're open, he'll throw to you. These guys just don't like the fact that they didn't get the ball every play.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 06:06 PM) "Grease the f***ing kicker" As funny as that is(and it's pretty funny) I'm sure a lot of us here have been that crazy after a loss by one of our favorite teams.

So my intramural flag football team has had 2 guys quit because they don't get the ball enough. What a bunch of babies.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 02:20 AM) I will make fun of you when the Phillies go to the WS. Deal sir.

No. It's a nice pipe dream though, no doubt.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 02:13 AM) Explain yourself, Rowand. I think the Philles have as good a chance as any team in the NL. They have the best offense in the NL. They're on an incredible roll right now. Is it pitching? Well, Hamels and Kendrick is a nice 1-2 punch. I'll admit the rest of their rotation doesn't look that great. They've got a good bullpen. I just don't see how you can say they have no shot. First, I'm not sold on Kendrick yet, so that has a lot to do with it. We'll see what happens but I bet he gets hit a bit in the plaoffs. As far as their bullpen, how is it good? It's pretty damn bad if you ask me. It's been better as of late but still, they're not good, they'll get exposed. And I really don't care who was hot and who was not getting into the post season, you can throw all that out the window once the playoffs start, imo.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 02:10 AM) The Pats WILL NOT go 16-0. But they are without question the best team in the NFL right now. Tom Brady loves me, he keeps winning me fantasy games.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 02:05 AM) Rowand, why you such a Phillies hater? Oh I love the Phils(ok, I don't' love them, but they're my favorite team in the playoffs), I just don't think they have much chance in the playoffs.

QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 10:22 PM) 72 Dolphins, be afraid, be very afraid! They're ridiculously good, I just can't see any team going 16-0, ever.
