QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 20, 2007 -> 06:36 PM) Vs. Tito Ortiz? Yup. Contract signing shall be soon.

QUOTE(Linnwood @ Jul 20, 2007 -> 06:09 PM) So any guesses on how many ER for Contreras tonight? 5

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 20, 2007 -> 04:15 PM) I'll always have soft spot in my heart for Beckett. I feel like we've had this conversation before.

QUOTE(Markbilliards @ Jul 20, 2007 -> 04:01 PM) Does anyone know how good of defense Richar plays for either 2B or SS? Supposedly not that great.

I'd like him a lot more if he wasn't a fa after 08. Still, I like Wily Mo a lot, I think if you give him a full season of ab's he'd produce at an above average clip. The guy has a .778 career ops while only getting sporadic ab's, not bad at all.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jul 20, 2007 -> 03:25 PM) Chris Young, he plays centerfield for the Arizona Diamondbacks. This guy?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 20, 2007 -> 02:51 PM) First of all, the ref is Tim Donaghy: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2943095 Second of all, check this out: I KNEW IT!! I've said for 3 years it was impossible for somebody to catch, turn in mid air, and shoot in 0.4 seconds. I'm sure there is more to come, but that is no surprise. So this guy cost the Spurs a trip to the NBA Finals and perhaps another title. Yikes. What else have you known for years?

I'll admit that I liked what Kenny tried to do with this pen in the offseason. I thought for sure the backend of our pen was going to be very, very good with Bobby, Matt and Mike but it just didn't turn out that way. Unfortunately, for the most part it's such a crapshoot to put together a good bullpen as most relievers are inconsistant from one year to a next. In theory, I liked how Kenny went about getting very good arms to try to mix together. It obviously backfired horribly but throwing a ton of money at relief pitching isn't exactly the best way to go about things either.

Hit Josh Beckett in the face with a comebacker and I'll be happy.

I had a dream last night that Jim Parque closed a game this series againt the Red Sox, no joke. I was quite confused when I woke up.

Not surprised in the least.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 19, 2007 -> 09:24 PM) Don't look now, but Jerry Owens might be playing Erstad and Pods out of Chicago in 2k8... Yuck. Those 3 names shouldn't even appear when talking about next season.

Richar's a freakin machine.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jul 18, 2007 -> 02:35 PM) Sweeney, Anderson, and Hunter. Let them fight it out for CF. That's brutal, not going to happen. The one lock for our of next year might be Rowand. I honestly don't see Sweeney out there next season as he's not getting any PT right now. Maybe a Jenkins/Rowand/player acquired in trade, something like that.

Vick's a total scumbag. I wish someone would put him in a cage and make him get his ass kicked. Hopefully that will happen in prison(but it wont).

Hu would be ideal. Not happening though.

2 2/3 scoreless innings from our pen? That must be a record.

Live Free or Die Hard was pretty insane. Pretty much the most unrealistic movie ever but it was quite awesome.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jul 18, 2007 -> 02:19 AM) What's this "My friends" thing? WANNA BE MY FRIEND?!?!?!?!?

I'm not sure why this is being brought up now but whatever: http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...,1983616.column

I'm no where near sold on Richar yet, however, he needs to play out the rest of this season so we can at least see what we have in him.

Could you imagine an outfield of Byrnes, Rowand, Erstad? The opposing teams would be blinded by grinderness.

Are Silvy and Carmen even still on the air? I don't listen to much sports radio now that I'm in Carbondale. But they had by far my favorite show. When they had the 9 o'clock show, I'd literally wake up in the morning to listen to their show and go back to bed after it was over, I loved it. Besides them, I do like Mike and Mike and that's about it. M,J and H can be ok at times but for the most part they annoy the hell out of me, and every other national or Chicago show is just garbage imo.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 10:39 AM) Thank you. No problem. You earned it.
