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(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.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 05:15 PM) You guys that want 'em to lose have a lot in common with Cubs fans right now. You want the Sox to lose. Congrats. Ha, that doesn't make sense at all.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 05:12 PM) Yeah whoever gave you the Bertrand info, while I believe is a trusted source, had bad info on Bertrand. It's been an even battle between SIU and Illinois for several months now, and probably will remain that way until signing day. Unless of course, Bertrand is lying to my face when I talk to him about it. So yeah, in this case, I REALLY trust my source. Well fair enough but I've heard other things and I still think SIU has a lead here. Not what it was before hand but we'll see. JB is visiting Champaign with Diamond Taylor this weekend so we'll see what happens. I like Bruce more than most Illinois fans but I'll still take my chances with Lowery here in a battle between him and Bruce. Should be interesting, we'll see what happens.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 6, 2007 -> 04:55 PM) Rick Ankiel Today: 3 for 4 with a walk, 3 run home run, 2 run home run, 2 run double, 4 runs scored, and 7 RBI. And it's in the 6th and 14-3 btw. Fun stuff.

Last month I said in here that Bertrand to SIU was a done deal. I'm never going to say anything is a done deal from now on until the LOI is signed. SIU still leads for Bertrand but it looks like we might get a recruting battle between CLo and Bruce.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 5, 2007 -> 11:06 PM) 2008 is likely Miggy's final season in Florida. Hopefully he'll take a million dollars a year to play for the White Sox.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 5, 2007 -> 01:17 AM) You guy's didn't like What Comes Around or My Love or Summer Love? Honestly, his album is a musical masterpiece and this guy is beyond talented. I honestly hated both songs.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 5, 2007 -> 12:11 PM) Correct, but I was also assuming some sort of improvement over his rookie campaign, especially with his increase numbers with each month that he plays. He has increased his HR rate since he was brought up quite steadily. I would say 30 hr is a lock. 40 hr is realistic. A lock is a bit premature, and by a bit I mean a lot. I've really fallen in love with Fields this season but there aren't too many player in major league baseball who are locks to hit 30 hr's, especially someone that's going to be in their first full season.

Kuric down to 4 schools: Michigan, Louisville, SLU and SIU. He was on campus here this past weekend, hopefully he enjoyed himself.

Very cool.
