QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 07:08 AM) Buerhle was incredible. The last 3 innings he was even better than the first six. It was total domination. On the way home we listened to the postgame call-ins. Someone said it was the best game Buerhle pitched in a while. Gee, do you think? Its probably the best pitched game I have ever seen. The ball Blalock hit to the wall was the only one really hit all that hard, and even that was a high flyball that I think got a push from the wind. Hairston looked safe at the park, but seeing the replay when I got home, he definitely looked out. Iguchi made a real nice play, and Uribe made a nice play with Konerko making a scoop on the end of it. Haha, that's awesome. You guys wouldn't believe how many random people came up to me last night at the bars just to talk about Buehrle, crazyness.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:25 PM) Couldn't have happened to a better man... Congrats Mark B I'm so happy it was Mark to do this.

Buehrle

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 12:06 AM) Anderson is not the answer. You don't know that, nobody knows. Unfortunately, we probably wont find out while he's in a White Sox uniform.

I'm certainly not opposed to firing Walker, cause like Kalapse said, I think at first it'll give the offense a bit of a jump start. That being said, Walk or no Walk in a few years, I bet this club is having the same problems offensively.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 05:10 PM) Are we even sure Rowand is all that great against lefties? He was beyond terrible against them last season. Like .222 AVG/.304 OBP bad. So how long until someone starts up the "Rowand to the Sox?" thread? Well sir...touche. I personally remember him being much better against lefties, I obviously follow what he does a whole of a lot less now, cause I just really don't care about the Phillies.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 17, 2007 -> 05:00 PM) I have a frightening thought for you. Its halloween scary. What if Boone is up to show he can get major leaguers out, to tempt the Phillies to send over Ozzies favorite grinder. They need bullpen pitching, like they are digging off the scrap heap right now. I like Boone as much as anyone and I've had my fun making fun of all the Aaron rumors too, but right now, with the way we hit left handers, would having Aaron back be the worst thing in the world?

Pods is done, which we all knew but maybe the organization will catch on now. I'm hoping Ozzie kind of slowly brings Boone along now instead of throwing him right into the fire like last year(you know what I'm talking about). As for left, I honestly like all options better than Pods, I wont be angry which ever route Ozzie takes here.

I moved your first post into the diamond club. If you want to make fun of the Cubs, this isn't the place to do so.

Moved to the diamond club.

IMO he should be starting and hitting 9th. If not, he should be in AAA getting at bats everyday, this is especially true if he's not even going to get into games as a defensive replacement, in say oh...the 9th inning of a game in Oakland. He is being used so wrong right now, it's ridiculous.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 16, 2007 -> 05:09 PM) I understand that everyone is going to be extremely concerned with this happening, but this type of thing is so rare that you shouldn't change the way you act/feel about your security or be wary of keeping your doors unlocked/holding the door for someone. I'm not trying to sound like a jagoff, but I'll be going to bed tonight with the door unlocked as always. And I'll walk to class tomorrow and right into the building without hesitation. You can't let something like this change the way you live your life. Agreed. Anytime this stuff happens it's obviously extremely sad but I wont let it change how I live my life, ever. Maybe that's just me being stubborn but that's how I feel.

Unreal.

PK and JD will be fine. I'm decently confident that AJ will at least be ok this season with the bat, I honestly don't have a ton of faith in Joe or the top of the order. Also, as good as Juan is hitting right now, we all know he is going to go through his streaks, be it up or down. As far as our offense, I basically have confidence in 3-5 and Iguchi, besides that, I'm just not sure what to expect.

QUOTE(quickman @ Apr 16, 2007 -> 10:15 AM) Who the hell cares about Brian Andersen. He is nothing, he will not get us to the playoffs nor might he be anything other than what he is. I know people like him because he is young, a surfer dude, who acts kool, but the guy is a non entity. Really who cares. Move on he is a fringe player. Most of us care about Brian because we believe he is the best option we have to play center and he's got completely raw deal here. Simple enough?

Finishing a paper at 6 in the morning that is due that day. Good times.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Apr 15, 2007 -> 02:48 PM) Greg Walker = fired (hopefully) Was Eduardo Perez signed by anybody? If not, we should sign him up, trade Mack for a right-handed hitting OF who can play center, and send Anderson down so he's not rotting on the bench. Then when we fire Greg Walker we can go through the same crap with another hitting coach. Even with the bats completely well...sucking right now, I got a much better feeling about this team than last years.

I like how Ozzie has wanted a team based around pitching and defense, yet all the sudden it doesn't matter that we had one of the best CF's in baseball out there for us. I guess having a great defensive player at one of the most important defensive positions isn't that important.

Seriously, wtf has Brian done to Ozzie? I just don't get it.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 08:07 PM) I don't know if you were around in the 80's and 90's or if you just jumped in 5 years ago or so, but I have seen too many mediocre seasons. Ozzie brought in a ring his second year, and has fielded solid teams since he became manager. Nothing you crybabies say will change my view. Ouch man, that one hurts. QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 08:08 PM) I don't even hate Ozzie or want him fired. I just wish he would drop the stubborn bulls***, the childish attitude and the personal vendettas. Which wont ever happen.

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Apr 14, 2007 -> 07:48 PM) Jose Batista is the 3rd baseman with the weird stance and butt sticking out. Tony Batista.

D'Angelo Jimenez. QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 07:11 PM) I actually love A-Rod, mainly because everyone else, especially in New York, seems to hate him. Ditto. Alex is one of my favorite players.

Any guy who beats up a woman deserves to have his ass kicked. And making an excuse for said person because he was drunk is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxFan1 @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 10:32 AM) Got a first date tonight with a girl who is currently "taking a break" from her BF. Ive only known this girl for a week now, and it appears im the lucky one that she gets to have her "fun" with while her and her ex take their break. She has already prewarned me of the situation, and that her and her bf will more than likely end up back together. So im all for just going out, hanging out and having a good time with no strings attached. I know this is most guys dream.... but any advice on if...persay, I wanted to try to win her over? Make her watch the Sox game with you...duh.

Santana, Zambrano and Felix.
