Lol, I honestly don't remember ever hearing that. Interesting stuff.

I would like to know if Eggy has a restraining order against Heads.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 10:25 PM) This new Kelly Clarkson song, "Never Again", is f***ing awesome. QUOTE(SnB @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 10:26 PM) Oh boy. I think Tony, Keith and I will just go on our own road trip this year...

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 03:28 PM) I love how a demotion to AAA to get him AB's has fans thinking the sox are giving up on a #1 draft choice. Actually, they gave up on him the day they made him our 4th outfielder, imo.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 10:20 PM) You don't need more than two years to understand the value of a prospect. Garza -- drafted #25 in 2005 -- has dominated minor league competition at every level, has power stuff, and happens to be in the right organization for pitching development. I don't need more than two years to figure that out. And hasn't proven squat in the majors...

QUOTE(chisox72 @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 06:08 PM) Don't even take it there. You know exactly what I am talking about without the additional BS. On this board especially, the large portion that supported him felt he could do no wrong. When he didn't play, it wasn't his fault. When he didn't get hits, it wasn't his fault. When he dogged to get balls in the outfield in this past week alone, it wasn't his fault. When it came to this kid, a VAST majority of those who were/are in his corner always pointed the finger in the other direction instead of him. So don't give me, "where do you get this s*** from", because if it wasn't prevalent I wouldn't have brought it up. The guy needed to go, PERIOD. End of discussion. EDIT: On a side note, I WAS a BIG Anderson supporter, but enough is enough with this whole debate. Actually the majority of the so called Anderson supporters just believe the kid was handled completely wrong, if you want to debate that or not, whatever but that was what a lot of people had the problem with. Sure there are some people that believe Brian will be an allstar(certainly not me) or he's never done anything or this and that, but what's more ridiculous, those people or the ones who refuse to believe that someone can improve after 400-450 major league ab's. Anderson was not good last year at the plate, everyone knows that but he did show some improvement in the 2nd half of the season. Still wasn't fantastic but it was improvement, would he have continued to improve if he started this year? I have no clue, but I believe he deserved that shot. If Ozzie didn't believe so, fine then let him start the year in Charlotte. We cleared the way for this guy and then put him in the s***tiest situation ever, everyone and their mothers knew he'd struggle in that role. Some of the comments about why people like Brian are just completely asinine. Everyone knows that the only reason I ever supported him is because I thought he was such a cool surfer dude.

QUOTE(chisox72 @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 05:54 PM) I love how a guy who did NOTHING gained all of this fanfare to the point of him being elevated to a god-like status.... Yup, all of the people who are fans of Anderson believe he is a god, mostly because of his awesome hair and because he's a cool surfer dude. He's the greek god of surfing. Jesus, where do some of you guys get this s*** from?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 04:54 PM) It's Brian's fault the offense sucks. His bad attitude is rubbing off on all the other hitters. Now the offense is guaranteed to pick up! He can take his surfboard and flowing golden locks to Charlotte. You and I feel the same way about the whole Anderson situation but right now this is definitely the best thing for him. It needs to be done.

I hope it's true. He needs to get ab's down in Charlotte. I agree with Kal though, Anderson is done as a member of the White Sox.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 02:42 PM) We need to hope he doesn't have an Aramis Ramirez type of season from last year where he struggled so much at the beginning of the season when Lee was out. He needs to pick it up now, as this offense has struggled for far too long this year. That's a fair point and I agree. Unfortunately, he's slumping now, but he's too good of a hitter, he'll get it going soon.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 02:39 PM) Jeez....PK has been worthless outside of one game. He has more shoulder shrugs than hits this year. Paul will be fine, he's the least of my worries.

I know his overall stats aren't great yet, but Ersty's numbers as a leadoff hitter are fantastic right now. As much as people b****ed about him there(including myself), he's really done a very good job. Keep it up Darin.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BULLSSSSSSSSSS

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 01:53 PM) God, he really has become our best hitter. GRIND O METER!!!!!!!!! QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 01:53 PM) Ersty is definitely our best hitter at the moment. I lose.

Ersty is definitely our best hitter at the moment.

I just want to say that I believe Michael Bush will be the steal of this draft.

QUOTE(Balance @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 10:18 AM) Say WHAT?!?!? Well, I'm definitely keeping Tom Brady in my fantasy football league this year. I was going to keep him anyways but that's pretty much the same thing that popped into my mind. That has the potential to be crazy good.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 06:22 AM) Eduardo Perez would be handy right now wouldn't he. We'll just have to hope the likes of Dye and Konerko can step up while Thome is out. Everyone needs to step up at the moment, we obviously need much much more production from everyone in this lineup right now. I will say though that I side with Flash on this one, I think we need to wait before making a drastic trade.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 01:11 AM) 0.37 runs doesn't sound like a lot, but it's pretty substantial. And compared to the league as a whole, we aren't dominating the way we did in 2005 (remember, offense is down across the board). Taken together, I think it's pretty fair to say our pitching hasn't been close to 2005. Our starters wont end up being anywhere near as good as 05 but I do believe that top to bottom that our pen will be better. And before anyone goes nuts, I'm not saying the back 3 will be better but overall I like this pen better than the 05 one.

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Apr 27, 2007 -> 11:05 PM) So some dude named Grady Sizemore hit an inside the park homer. he any good? I would literally kill for that dude to be on the Sox.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 28, 2007 -> 11:47 PM) I think it's more likely if we get in a bidding war it would be for Zambrano or in 2008 for Santana. I'd love for you to be right but I just can't see that happening either. As much as I love Alex(he's one of my favorite players) I'd much rather sign Z this offseason(and it's not even close), not happening though, nor are we getting Santana in 08.

Absolutely brutal call.

Not going to get a better pitch to hit than that, AJ.

Boone really can be narsty. When he gets where he needs to be mentally, he's going to be a hell of a reliever. WEB GEM
