QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 04:38 PM) a 12 page thread about a back up catcher? You guys are nuts. BTW, your a fool if your blaming Ozzie for this. I'm sure Hall agreed to play first base instead of been forced into the situation. Correct. Back up catchers are so unimportant. I'm sure Hall agreed as well, that has absolutely nothing to do with it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 04:33 PM) FWIW, there have been 3 more computer models that have run projections for the 2007 MLB standings. The highest White Sox record was 74-88 in the models, and they didn't make the playoffs one time out of the 1,000 times the projections were run. Look for these projections to be released in the next few days. I feel better about our chances now. Seriously.

This hurts.

I'm thinking 91.

Teachers should get fired for scheduling tests on Opening Day. What the hell.

Damaso Marte.

Thank god.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 25, 2007 -> 10:17 PM) KW goes out and makes one of the best signings of his tenure as White Sox GM and it takes Ozzie less than 3 weeks to f*** it up. Super. What a surprise.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 25, 2007 -> 07:43 PM) I know, and yes I know I sound like a whiny little baby. Coupled with UNC's mascot Jason Ray about to pass away and the most likely departure for the NBA of Brandan Wright, Ty Lawson, and maybe even Hansbrough, it just sucks as a UNC fan right now. But life goes on. Look at it this way: At least you're not an Iowa State fan.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 25, 2007 -> 04:11 PM) Florida is toast now that they aren't in that ridiculously easy bracket. They are fortunate that only half of the Oregon guards showed up, and that Humphrey and Green shot it that well. Ah well, this was my upset region anyways. No fun to pick all chalk. UCLA gets their shot at revenge now, and I like their chances now that Afflalo woke up and that they beat a team better than Florida last game. What exactly do you have against Florida? Cause you certainly underrated their football team like your doing with their basketball team right now.

Stupid thread.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 10:28 PM) I just saw this via Tivo, he needs to do something about that hat. I've said it before but that thing needs to be shot and killed.

I'm still too depressed to comment on last nights game. For now, I'm just going to say: We need to extend Chris(duh), if we do so, then this program is only going to keep improving, if we dont...then I don't want to think about what happens. Also, I'm hoping Jamaal gets a shot in the NBA. He's a plus defender, he's quick as all hell and when he wants to, he can score at any time.

Don't mess with the bullpen.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Mar 22, 2007 -> 10:52 PM) D'Angelo Jimenez? Ya, now that you said that, I'm about 95 percent sure that's right.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 22, 2007 -> 10:43 PM) No Damaso.

I'm absolutely heart broken. I can't even take this right now.

No prediction from me on SIU-KU. UCLA wins by 7.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Mar 22, 2007 -> 10:12 AM) I bet they try to make this a fast paced game so you guys dont get your defensive scheme set. The word duh comes to mind.

QUOTE(Brian @ Mar 21, 2007 -> 09:07 PM) Good news if true. Read Bone sprained a knee in practice. Hope they show Kansas/SIU out here in AZ but I fear Texas A&M will be on. Unfortunately, he isn't going to be available, just great. So Matt is definitely going to try and play, we'll see how ready he is. If he's in a lot of pain, we're going to have one hell of a short bench tomorrow.

Nothing is 100 percent sure yet, BUT it looks like Matt will play.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Mar 21, 2007 -> 10:57 AM) Kanasas is too much of an offensive team for SIU to handle. Granted SIU has great defense they havent seen this kind of offense they are about to play all year, closest thing they saw was prolly Butler. Honestly, SIU on offense, they look lost lol, its horrible to watch, its like your pick up games in public gyms. Their defense is going to have to win them the game here and have a hot hand shooting. Rock Chalk will be fine. Sorry had to restore confidence in you to jynx kansas because i got siu winning lol. Butler actually averages more points per possession than KU. Now obviously KU is a completely different type of offense and they're much more explosive but it's not like we haven't played good offenses before. As for our offense, I know people have a hard time believing that a team that doesn't average 80 points a game can actually be a solid offensive team, but we are indeed an efficient offensive club. We're not great by any stretch of the imagination on offense but our offensive 'woes' are very over stated. We're an above average shooting team, we're above average in points per possession and we're in the top 25 percent of college basketball in 3 point shooting. We're not "lost" on offense(though earlier in the year we had issues with zones), we just run a slow down offense which obviously confuses some people.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Mar 20, 2007 -> 02:49 PM) as SIU fans will give me when they beat KU on Thurs. Stop trying your reverse jinx crap. If we do indeed win on Thursday, I wouldn't give you a hard time, I can tell you that for sure.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 19, 2007 -> 04:23 PM) Besides all off the defensive arguments in your post, this is what I would like to point out. They really arent as young as people really think. They start 2 freshmen, yes, but also 3 vets, including a 5th year. The game should be close, and the winner will be decided on whose part of the game shines more. Will it be OSU's speed and post play, or Tenn's perimeter game. And Oden ups the average age of that team anyways, right?
