QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 05:35 PM) So to kick us fans in the balls a little bit more, is this the part where the Sox go on a small winning streak at the end of the season to end up with the fifth overall pick instead of #2? 'Cause that's what I'm feelin'... There's no doubt. This team does everything they shouldn't do.

Oregon trying to be tricky.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 01:38 PM) KW will overpay for some relievers this year, either via trade or free agency. I gotta feeling that will happen as well.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 01:30 PM) Price was #1 on my board by a long shot. He's got it all. Ah, the ol' Jason Gage draft board, more teams need to follow your board me thinks.

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 01:23 PM) Yep, Stevenson and Libertyville are not very good. Warren beat Libertyville last night. Lake Zurich is very good. Lake Forest is even good. Ha Ha @ Stevenson! So it looks like we'll miss the playoffs in the first time since...? Been a long time. EDIT: So Brian, Libertyville and Warren are 1-2 and Stevenson is 0-3? Wow. Nutso, never thought I'd see that.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 01:14 PM) I really don't know what the deal with Mac is. I have at least seen some flashes from Thornton, but MacDougal has just been terrible. He had a good stretch to start the season, but so did Aardsma. Mike was so solid last year, I really had high hopes for him. I just haven't seen ANYTHING from him to tell me he should bounce back next season, and I have been looking hard. I agree but he has a track record and his stuff is still there. Who knows what's wrong with him, but with bullpen inconsistancies from year to year it's kind of hard to give up a guy with a good arm who has shown that he can be a good reliever. I wont be too disappointed if we deal him but I just don't want to get rid of him just to get rid of him.

I just looked at the standings and it's like bizarro world in our conference.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 12:56 PM) You're probably right I haven't seen that game in a few years, I'll have to find the VHS I have of the game and take a look. Ya it's hazy on my end as well but I think it was a breaking ball. Like I said, not 100 percent on that though.

QUOTE(beautox @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 07:43 PM) if that were true the drays wouldn't have taken price #1 overall it would've been Rick Porcello. Well I wasn't talking about signability, that's obviously become a huge factor in the draft. I'm just saying that MLB teams don't draft by need.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 12:33 PM) That would be #1 on my list. 2 HR from Pauly after being hit in the head by a Kerry Wood fastball, such sweet revenge. It also produced the coolest bat flip in White Sox history when Konerko deposited his 2nd homerun into the left field stands. I thought he got hit in the head with a breaking ball. I could be wrong on that though.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 12:34 PM) The only 3 guys I absolutely without a doubt would like to see in next year's pen are Jenks, Wasserman and Logan. I won't shed a tear for any of the rest. I'd bet that Mac and Thornton(especially Matt) have bounce back years next season. I want Thornton back next season and I wouldn't mind if Mac is back either but having almost the same bullpen would look pretty poor.

Marshall goes conservative on their last drive but they take a 13-6 lead into the half over WVU.

West Virginia has a whole 6 points right now.....?

I honestly had no idea until you made this thread and then I looked at the recap. Cool I guess? What a weird f'n season.

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 11:10 PM) Haha f*** Stevenson! Go LZ!!! 16-7 LZ BABY!! You used to be cool.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 10:25 PM) The Cardinals pathetic infield defense, led by Miles and Branyan, have cost them two runs so far tonight. With Hudson possibly out for the year, I pray that if the Cubs make the playoffs, they don't face the Dbacks. That team is awful. If the Diamondbacks are awful, what are the Cubs? I think Brandon Webb alone throwing left handed and batting with his eyes closed is enough to beat the Cubs.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Sep 8, 2007 -> 08:59 AM) am I the only one here not completely sold on him??? 4.80 ERA and a .297 BAA. To his credit, Lefties are only hitting .221 however. In comparison, Thornton (who I really dont like either) has a 4.89 ERA and a .278 BAA. Lefties are hitting .300 against him. If used correctly Logan is one of the better people in baseball at his job.

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 05:50 PM) Does it? Gold glover translates to super human with no need of rest? Wow PK is better than I thought... Talking about Erstad.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 03:07 PM) As long as it's not Thomas. Or Widger.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 10:15 AM) And I swear to God, if Schuerholz is on steroids... That got a laugh out of me. Nicely done.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 09:43 AM) Darius Miller to UK: http://www.courier-journal.com/blogs/demling/blog.html Wow, everything I've posted in this thread has just been completely wrong. No more information from me unless I'm 100 percent sure. I've made myself look like a moron.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 09:38 AM) Yea. I figured the youngin's kept this place hoppin' 24/7 like back in the "old" days. I'm sorry.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 09:08 AM) I-AA teams have their own poll. It really doesn't make any sense or matter if I-AA teams get votes in the AP poll, unless they can start getting invited to bowl games or something. Aww, more teams that'll get votes over Iowa State.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 09:05 AM) Absolutely, he ruined our back-up catcher in the spring training (I can't wait to debate this for the 500th time this year). Beat ya to it.

QUOTE(29andPoplar @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 08:13 AM) It is real easy to pick out situations where things didn't work out. Where were you yesterday when Wasserman was in there to face Sheffield and Ordonez. It works both ways and has for every manager in the history of the game. Ozzie is an unconventional manager, no argument there but some of the things he does are just mind boggling. He likes to follow his "gut" too much and a lot of times he pays for it. He does have some positives(though I'm starting to see less and less everyday) but he's a piss poor in game manager imo.
