QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 7, 2006 -> 04:22 PM) Ditto. We'll deal with his unclutch ass. I guess the only question is, ARod at 3B or SS? That's not a question at all in my mind.

So this is what I know: SIU beat IU by 7 who beat Illinois who beat MSU who only lost to ND by 3. SO SIU>ND.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 7, 2006 -> 03:11 PM) If the Yankees lose, could this be the end of his stay in the Bronx? I White Sox please.

QUOTE(GasHeGone @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 08:45 PM) After seeing Big Hurt getting doused with bubbly post-ALDS clinch, I got to thinking...if the A's go all the way, which is not unrealistic, I think Hurt should get another standing O when he comes back to Sox Park. Not only should he get a standing O, but he should be introduced as two-time World Champion FRAAAAAAANK THOMAS. Not only would it give Hurt his due, but I think Sox fans could use the PR. We don't have the best reputation in the class department. Essentially, my biggest fear is that Hurt stays with the A's for a few more years, wins a championship (or two...who knows?...not impossible...) and pulls a Carlton Fisk on us by going to the Hall as an Athletic. Does anyone think this could ever happen? Again, probably not totally likely but some food for thought. Ok, that would be weird as hell. And jesus people, there is absolutely 0 chance, NONE that he goes into the hall with an A's hat. I don't even know how that thought is even in peoples minds.

QUOTE(Brian @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 02:23 PM) Tonight...in Libertyville...the 6-0 Wildcats host the 6-0 Stevenson Patriots! First times these two powerhouses have met and both been undefeated since 1991. Wish I could go. Have you seen that Libertyville is streaming live tonight? http://lhs.district128.org/ Pretty damn cool.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 03:23 PM) I think we're going to see Texas Chainsaw - The Beginning tonight. I wasn't too fond of the Biel one, but this one is a pre-quel and supposedly explains how the family business got started. Anyone else see it or planning on seeing it? To be honest, it looks horrible to me. I think I'm finally going to see jackass tonight, that or get drunk or both.

It could be a fun game to play: What's the biggest reason you want to get rid of pods? His defense in left field is the answer for me.

Zumaya is such a soft tosser.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 12:04 PM) Anthony Reyes might be the most overrated player on soxtalk. He had a great game against us, but his ERA ended up being way too high (5.06), and he's had a history of injury issues. Flat out, the Cardinals don't have the pieces for the Sox to trade with. Maybe you're just underrating him? I know very well what his era was for this season but I've seen him pitch enough to think he's going to be a pretty darn good starter in this league. Like I said though, Buehrle has much more value than just Reyes.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 12:22 PM) In an effort to protect Brian he started using Rob in CF more, sacrificing defense to try and provide more pop to a sluggish lineup. Sluggish lineup? Our hitters were absolutely killing the ball when Ozzie started to platoon the two.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 09:32 AM) Prospects develop, thats why we have to use patience. What a concept.

QUOTE(shipps @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 04:01 AM) We have waited for MB to come down to earth for a long time.My gut tells me the league has finally caught up to him.Reyes is gonna be a hell of a pitcher for a long time. I'm sorry but I don't buy that the league caught up to him after 5 years, that doesn't make much sense. Buehrle is one guy that I have faith in to bounce back, much more than Freddy, much more than Jose, and I expect Mark once again to be better than Garland next season. Like I said, I am a big fan of Reyes and I think he's going to be a very nice pitcher but Buehrle is worth more than that.

QUOTE(shipps @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 03:52 AM) Trade Buehrle to the cards for Reyes.maybe even think about Mulder. Mulder is a fa. I'm a big fan of Anthony Reyes but Buehrle is worth a hell of a lot more than that.

QUOTE(shipps @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 03:40 AM) Because the Marlins like BA ,it makes me like him once again.they have an unbelievable eye for young talent.Ask the Cubs.You must keep him. I've become one of the bigger Brian Anderson fans around, however the Marlins are absolutely loaded with young arms, so you at least have to listen to what they have to offer.

Instead of watching the playoffs, I'm just watching my Sox dvd's from last season. I'm not sure if it makes me feel better or worse right now.....

QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 02:33 AM) I am saying I completely understand why Oz soured on BA and got him only 350 at bats. BA SUCKED at the plate early; just sucked. So instead we throw a guy out there in center who cost us at least a good 3 games in the field. Ozzie hurt the team by continuing to throw Rob out there, it's that simple.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 11:23 PM) Thank God for beer pong. ^^^^

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 03:34 PM) ozzie did everything he could to protect BA during the first half and now Ozzie's his nemesis, if you believe what you read around here. Ugh, I told myself I was done debating all the BA garbage but Ozzie did nothing to protect BA in the first half. If by protecting him you mean throwing him out there against a lot of left handers when he hits better against righties, then sure, he protected him.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 03:46 PM) I think Buehrle will be re-signed to a deal slightly higher than Garland's. He would have commanded much more before this season, but after a down year, he has lost some value. Garcia seems to be the obvious choice, especially to a NL team in need of starting pitching. I could see him going to NYM, SD, LA, or even HOU. There are more options than Crawford for leadoff. This will be a very interesting off season to say the least. Always is with Mr. Williams controlling the team.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 3, 2006 -> 02:51 PM) If Frank Thomas keeps this up all postseason, he goes into the Hall as a member of the A's. So sad he's still not a White Sox. I love Thome, but Frank is in the postseason; Jimmy is not. KW's biggest blunder ever. HA HA HA. Now that's humor.

Any team who needs a cf would be interested in Anderson, that simple really. Florida has a lot of young talent so you at least have to listen to what they have to offer. No thanks on Dontrelle btw.

Hopefully it's Freddy. Mark will bounce back next year, Freddy won't.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 04:37 AM) Work out. Rec center is closed. No where to do that at.

There is absolutely nothing to do at 4:30 in the morning....

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Oct 3, 2006 -> 10:22 PM) Happy Birthday Keith!!!! lol, you rock. Anyways, I know it's going to be hard to have a happy birthday without me around, but try your best.
