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.

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 06:32 AM) Did Ozzie continuously run this team out of innings? Did he put his players in position to get hurt? Did he continuously mishandle the pitching staff? No - when the teams performance is hindered by strategy, and not injuries and poor execution, then I think its fair to blame Ozzie. He's ran us out of innings before in his own way by giving up unnecessary outs, sure. Toby Hall comes to mind. Yes imo though you seem to see it a different way.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 02:34 AM) rowand44=big jew. the end. How was your date with Ian tonight?

QUOTE(beautox @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 12:03 AM) i posted this over at SSS thought id repost here. I see our only competition for Alvarez as Baltimore; and here is why: Tampa Bay has Evan Longoria looking to break into the hot corner out of ST next year, with Akinori Iwamura moving to an MI spot, possibly SS hes got an amazing glove and above average arm at 3B, he could be average to slightly above at SS. Florida still has Miguel and if they ever get a new stadium they'll lock him up long term to play 3B so long as he doesn't eat him self out of it, he should be a fixture there for the foreseeable future. If not they just drafted Matt Dominguez incase they can't keep Miguel or he needs to be moved to 1B/LF. Pittsburgh has Neil Walker who since being moved from behind the dish has gotten better and has been able to focus more on his bat and should be ready for the pirates in the next year and a half. That brings us to Baltimore they've got Bill Rowell who is still a bit away but has alot of promise, in the interm they've got mora and huff at 3B, so they strike me as the only team that would pick him ahead of us seeing how their FO is horrible. They've taken two catchers over the past three years in Brandon Snyder & Matt Wieters. None of that matters. Best available player in the MLB draft, that's all that matters.

Ankiel is slugging .765? LOLZ

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 05:39 PM) Marmol to closer? It's not the slam dunk everybody thinks when you consider that before today, Dempster had saved 14 in a row, plus how are we sure Marmol will handle the move well? I've seen young guys with great stuff in relief move to closer and have issues many a time before, not everybody can be Bobby Jenks. Movie not move. Ankiel.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 05:18 PM) Oh if you were asking me to guess where he's going, I would tell you SIU while Taylor is going to Illinois. I'm just saying it's basically dead even right now, and the visit to Champaign might decide it. Oh, and dont ask me when I have friends and family in Sterling effin Illinois, but I do, so there ya go on Bertrand. I'd agree with you there. Whatever though, I'm just going to wait and see. Playing with the big boys recruiting wise is both fun and exhausting so I'm just going to let everything play out here.
