QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2006 -> 09:46 AM) So wait a second...there's seriously a debate over which part of our starting rotation in the postseason was the most dominant, the guy who won two clinchers, the guy who won 3 games and got a save, or the guy who started off every series for us? Damn, I absolutely couldn't care less which one of them pitched better. All of their names are on the back of my t-shirt today. Oh I'm with you, I'm not debating who's the better in the postseason I'm just tired of hearing people say that Mark doesn't show up for big games. The guy had a 3.47 era last year in the playoffs and some people on here make it seem like he was horrible.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 10:21 PM) Just like I love Buehrle and watching him pitch. I like watching guys who just dissect the opposition, play great defense and do all the little things. Its got an old school mentality in a sense. Mulder is another guy that I like to watch pitch. I like quick working pitchers that throw strikes, work quick, and just have a total gameplan when they are on the mound. I also absolutely LOVE Pedro Martinez and how he pitches (especially when he was in his prime). Yup, I love pitchers who just know how to pitch, who don't necessarily have the best stuff but know wat the f*** they're doing out there. Pedro in his prime is the best pitcher I've ever seen.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 10:16 PM) I root for Maddux every start (Unless he's going against the Sox). I absolutely love the way he pitches. Maddux used to be one of my favorite pitchers in baseball basically for the same reason, I love pitchers like him. I'm not sure exactly why but I just started to dislike the guy(still love the way he pitches) for some reason and this was before he went to the Cubs.

QUOTE(NYSox35 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 10:03 PM) hilarious! These guys look like they are from Staten Island...not the South Side... this guy is clearly being funny... Trying to be.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 09:49 PM) Correct. Obviously it's a silly comparision, but MLB is working on getting AA kids to play ball kind of like the Sox are working on kids period to get them to be Sox fans with things like Fundementals. You may not see the results now, but a decade from now and 2 decades from now you will. It's still going to be hard to get African Americans to play baseball imo. I also agree that it's silly to worry about.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 09:30 PM) This guy is playing all of you like fiddles. He's just getting a rise out of you. There is no way he is serious with any of this. And I will give him credit. The things he is saying and the pictures he is posting are funny. I've kind of figured that as well but I'll play along because I got nothing better to do. If he is being serious then wow. But if he just came here to get a rise out of people then that is pretty sad as well.

QUOTE(LeroySettle @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 09:27 PM) Whatever, you are real tough making fun of someone over the internet. But that is me in the back. Before you make fun of the shirt color just know that I got 3 phone numbers at the game that night, while you where probably home alone. Haha pink is the new black. Most of us are done with college, 2 of my friends are in there super senior years at UIC. Right now our tickets are upper deck, but hopefully in another year or two we'll have club level seats. This summer we are having a sky box party, its gonna be hot. Here is another photo of some of my friends before Saturday nights game: Dont be a playa hater! So you go to games to pick up girls, you like the wave and you throw balls back. Hmm......

QUOTE(LeroySettle @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 09:51 AM) I love how people say the fans are annoying, bandwagoners, ect. Ive had season tickets for 3 years and to be honest the games are even better now. Even on weekday nights we are drawing decent amounts of people. Im glad people are showing up to support us. I love going to games with my boyz and being rowdy, and its even better with more people at the park. We run that place. Who cares if someone wants to throw a ball back after someone from the other team hits a homer. They caught the ball they can do what they want with it. It isnt just a "cubs" thing. Here is a picture of me and my boyz after Friday nights win at Jimbos You're in a boy band?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 07:39 PM) Those are traditions for morons. Bingo.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 06:36 PM) And the Count is the one guy we can count on in the postseason. Buehrle is a tremendous regular season pitcher because he's so consistent. But like Tom Glavine, he's beatable in a big game. I'd actually rate Freddie Garcia our second best money pitcher (assuming he really hasn't lost velocity). Did you happen to watch the postseason?

That wasn't just a sweep, that was domination. We outscored them 23-6 in the series.

:headbang :headbang :headbang :headbang :headbang

That'll work.

Yikes. Cmon Cliff.

Clifford in.

Lets go Brian, have yourself a day.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 02:15 PM) Halladay won a Cy in 2003. Are we forgetting that Contreras has had exactly one good full season? Contreras is great but he really isn't in Halladay's league yet. For this year, I'd take JC over Halladay, no question.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 02:16 PM) I'd absolutely pull him. No reason to have him go more than 105 pitches in April with at least a 5 run lead heading into the 9th. I agree, especially when you have pitchers in the bullpen begging for some innings.

He's awesome.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 02:06 PM) To show how good Contreras is now, I think it's safe to say he didn't have his best stuff/command today. He struggled at times to throw his fastball where he wanted. His forkball has been erratic also today. He hasn't had anywhere near his best command today. He's fallen behind a lot of hitters and has pitched over it. Like you said, it just shows how good this guy has become.

QUOTE(KWs OK for Me @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 02:02 PM) On the pregame Cooper said that Thornton's unavailable today, something about soreness in the back. Said he wasnt available yesterday either Interesting, I did not know that.

94 pitches for Jose. I'd let him go one more and then let Matt/Cliff get the 9th.

KC is still up 4-1 on Cleveland by the way.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 01:45 PM) Thome's going yard off steroids boy. Thome sucks.
