QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 10:39 PM) I swear it seems like he is one of those guys who ya think was around forever, and yet is still really young. Kinda like Guzman when he was with the Twins. Jon Garland.

I bet Afflalo stays. Not sure about Farmar, there's been rumors that he really wants to go to the NBA.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 06:16 PM) LOL. I don't know how I even remembered that. 4/20 must be an important date for you. Bad break for the Cubs, DLee is one of those guys you have to respect no matter which team he is on.

Willie is up now on espn 2.

I'm rooting for Miguel but he's never going to be more then a backup catcher.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) I'm with that thinking. How old is Malone again? 25 I believe(not 100 percent sure here).

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 11:34 PM) Agreed. They have way too many easy outs in their everyday lineup. I know Rowand is gonna tell me I don't know what I'm talking about and that the Twins are great. LOL. I've been down that street many times. I think the Twins are the 2nd best team in this division but hopefully them and Cleveland decide to suck, it'd make life much easier for all of us.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 11:02 PM) Last year, they got into these pointless s***ty distractions in August...Iguchi complaining about days off, people complaining about attendance, and suddenly they looked up and were on an 8 game losing skid. I'd rather them get these distractions out of the way now. 7 games.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 09:50 PM) I'll say it again: No way. I'll make a bet that we don't win 98, if you're game. I think there is a good chance that we can win 100 but I don't bet on the Sox as a team. I never have and never will, it's my superstitious side I guess.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) I think Zito ends up a Met this year and gets extended. I think they deal Milledge and either Mike Pelfrey or Aaron Heilman for him. I think he'd be a great fit for an NL team If he does get traded it definitely wouldn't surprise me to see him get traded to the Mets but they absolutely can't afford to trade Heilman. He's way to important for their pen right now.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 07:00 PM) Exactly on Vaz, he has shut down the Royals twice and the other start there was an excuse (from Ozzie) that he was tipping pitches. I have him pegged as our No. 3 guy, but I still would like to see a couple of more starts against real competition (i.e. not the Royals). So far against one legit team he got shelled. I didn't get to see Garland pitch so I don't exactly know how he looked(from the sounds of it he was better but still not great) but Vaz was just absolutely nasty today, nobody would have hit him today.

Anyone know exactly what is wrong with Betancourt? IMO he's their best reliever and if he's out for a long time their bullpen is going to completely suck and they're going to be in some trouble.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 05:59 PM) Baltimore :headshake Baltimore answering right back. 4-3 now with runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs for Miggy. The whole inning started with a Corey Patterson bunt single.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 06:10 PM) Johan Santana is the best pitcher in baseball period. His stuff is so f***ing sick and he knows exactly how to use it, he's just one of those damn pitchers that comes around only once every decade. Mark is a f***ing awesome pitcher, don't get me wrong. The guy has some good pitches and is smart as hell, pitches tons of innings and is a great guy but he's just nowhere near Santana right now. Yeup, agree with everything, I'm just so used to saying american league in my arguments, but he is the best pitcher in the majors, no doubt in my mind.

Holy hell that's one horrendous list.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 05:54 PM) They're different types. It's like comparing Maddux to Clemens, I think. I wouldn't say Santana is THAT much better than Buehrle, and I'm not so sure Mark's not better to have. It has nothing to do with what kind of pitchers they are, and as far as Maddux-Clemens goes, Maddux was every bit as good as Rogers was. Johan is the best pitcher in the al right now and while Mark is one hell of a pitcher, he's just not in Johan's league at this point.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 05:44 PM) Uh....no. I love Mark but he's not in Santana's league.' Uh yes, Mark Buehrle is in Santana's league. No he's not.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 05:37 PM) 100 wins? No way. No way? This team is better then the team last year that won 99, I don't think you can say that there is no chance of them winning 100.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 05:01 PM) Never had a Dunkin Donut. What the hell is wrong with you?

Tribe our on espn tonight for those who would like to watch.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 04:10 PM) There is someone by the name of Mark Buehrle going against him. Which pitcher is better? I'd take Buehrle any day of the week. Uh....no. I love Mark but he's not in Santana's league.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 03:50 PM) Unfortunately, we have Santana on friday. So we gone. If there was ever a good time to get Santana it's now.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) I'm pretty sickened by your low expectations for this team. If Javy wasn't freaking tipping his pitches Friday, I'd be 10 wins in a row. 9-1 in our last 10 is only acceptable for those once in a while occasions where we just get our butt kicked from inning 1 through 9. Good point, I apologize.
