Rowand44

There is just something wrong with that guy.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 08:24 PM) Fitz will. Chambers is possible, but Culpepper won't be back until midway possibly. You trust Joey Harrington getting him the ball? Culpepper is going to start game 1.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 07:21 PM) Thankfully he got away with only one run. One quick lineup comment....playing Sandy vs Escobar on Monday and AJP tonight vs Randy Johnson is just retarded. Alomar was brought here to be Mark's personal catcher, that's all.

Brian Gorman ARE YOU NUTS???? Sorry, had to get that out of the way.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) After reading this, one person comes to mind for me. Thank god that tool was banned a couple years ago. Rowand knows who I'm talking about. lol. Yes I do.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 05:58 PM) Look, B-Mac had 3 good starts last season. 3. Bmac had 5 quality starts last season, including 3 others where he got yanked early with allowing less than 3 runs, because Ozzie really didn't trust him or wanted to keep his confidence up, or whatever. Bmac was fantastic for us last year down the stretch. Like Kalapse said, without Brandon last year we might not have made the playoffs. It shows me a whole lot when you throw a rookie pitcher into the middle of a pennant race when the Sox had enormous pressure on them because of all the "choke" talk, and he just absolutely dominates.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 05:55 PM) someone link me or quote me what he said about B-Mac, because I missed it. 'If [starting McCarthy] went through my mind, we would have done it already,'' Guillen said. ''I think those five guys we bring -- put it this way, if we throw those five guys from my starting rotation in the air, they won't land. Somebody would pick them up. ''Everyone talks about McCarthy. Last year we threw McCarthy, and he wasn't too good either. OK? Check the records. Thank you. Everyone thinks McCarthy is [blank]-damn Cy Young.''

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 12:23 PM) Your right, Liriano, Santana, all the other saviors had real problems in the pen. Liriano's era was over a run higher this year in the bullpen. Santana's career era in the pen is close to a run higher than his era in the rotation. There is no doubt in my mind that Brandon would be the 2nd or 3rd best starter on our team this year, now Buehrle isn't the right person to replace but Bmac should have been in the rotation a while ago imo. Anyways, I'm really starting to dislike Ozzie. Just thought everyone would like to know.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 05:21 PM) Dear lord I hope this is a misquote. http://www.suntimes.com/output/mariotti/cst-spt-jay08.html Wow.

Chris Chambers and Larry Fitzgerald will both be top 5 wr's this year.

This is the first game I've been real excited for since the first game back after the All Star break. If we're ever going to make a nice run, it'll be now.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 9, 2006 -> 04:21 PM) IU got its first verbal for '07. It'll take a bit to become a respectable group, since Purdue cleaned house. However, it's a start. http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/arti...022/1004/SPORTS Just can't beat the SIU ties. Painter really did clean house.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) Needs less Heads.

QUOTE(soxunited @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 06:32 PM) I think there is a reason why Ozzie has allowed his bullpen to be so well rested. It has not been stable this season with a combined ERA of 4.33. They are ranked 19th in major league baseball at this point in time by virtue of this stat. In 2005, the White Sox bullpen finished 3rd with a combined ERA of 3.23. You have to admit, the bullpen that is present today is a far cry from the efforts of last year. That era is much higher because of Cliff, Montero and Boone Logan. This is a fine bullpen now, even though Cotts has been awful the last month.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 10:57 PM) That is exactly what I was thinking as that play was going down, right after the ball landed I thought, if Dye comes through here A-Rod will be the scapegoat. Thirded.

Unfreakinbelievable. That game was just absolutely humungous to come back and win. Thank you Paul and thank you JD. W0000000000000T

QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 07:47 PM) Why? Is he batting? Duh.

Absolutely humungous.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 8, 2006 -> 05:40 PM) I figured you wonder about his take on Broadway some.... Talking with Row44, we're convinced if you ever see Lance, you'll go up to him and snap him in half. Lance should really get a restraining order on Flash.

Good stuff.

Thatta boy Lance.

Well this was a fun discussion for no reason.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 04:57 PM) I think Fields could put up better than 4 extra base hits in 62 ABs and have an OPS higher than .550. I really admire the way Anderson is hitting now, because he looked like a little leaguer the first two months of this season. Fields will K a lot, but he does have some pop in his bat. Ok, I should have added that he'd hit run into a few more. He'd hit for a worse average though, that's what I was trying to say.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 04:54 PM) There's not a chance in hell that Fields would be as bad as (April) Anderson was at the plate. He'd be worse, there's really no doubt in my mind.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 04:46 PM) If Fields were to make the jump to the majors next season, I'd suspect he'd struggle more than Brian Anderson has this year. Problem is, Fields doesn't have great defense to fall back on like BA had. Beat you to it by a minute.
