That sucks for Jerry Narron, now he has to deal with the Reds.

Not really shicking, but i do look forward to seeing Anderson being called up.

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 10:15 AM) And again, a columnist fails to mention things like: The gobs of charity work that the White Sox do that "The Northside Team" doesn't do. Promotions like "Turn Back the Clock" Night, which, I believe was started here, but now every team and even other leagues do. Elvis Night Dog Day Sleepover Night Give it about 15 years and the youth, the ones that enjoy going to Fundamentals and the above promotions, will be Sox fans. It's not easy to turn adults into fans. You have to work on the next generation and I think the White Sox are doing just that. Just look at the age of some of our posters!!! You aren't lying about that.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 11:04 AM) I hope you are right, and this year this team looks like they could do it. But when you look at a schedule like that, you can't help but get a cold chill. I get nervous just thinking about August, it is going to be one tough month for the sox. I think we could possibly be 30 games over by the end of june if we keep winning. The sox need to win 7 of the last 8 games in June to stay at 30+ games over .500.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 10:51 AM) That's not uncommon. Since 2000 I always show up at the game early & it always seems like a 1/2 full house. But every where you look people are walking around. Then by the 3rd inning it looks much fuller. I really think it's all about the food at the Cell. ESPN featured only a smidgen of what's there. I still believe it's 2nd to none to other MLB parks when it comes to the food. It was a great night to be sitting in the bleachers & watching the fireworks both at the plate & behind the scoreboard. I just wish Boyer would have more promotions linked to the food. Every one I go to the games with raves about the food. It's something Wrigley can't come close to competing in. The Sox should do a much better job selling the food at the park. How about a free brat with paid admission? That would be a lot of free brats.

Our food dominates over Wrigley's, even if they get it from the same place.

Rob Neyer is a jackass. Did anybody else notice that he never said pitching was why we're winning games too.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) I really think his problem before the Padres series was that he was overworked...the weekend before that series he pitched in something like 4 straight games, and ended up giving up his first run in the last one of them. I think the week off is just what Hermie ordered. He seems to be fine now, so I could see the possibility of him being overworked was a cause to why he had some trouble with the NL west interleague series' on the west coast.

I think if Kenny is going to make a deal he should do it soon so when the bidding wars come up between 3 or 4 teams, that we won't have to give up extra for a mediocre player.

I would love it if Marriotti could stay with a team for an entire year. He is a band-wagon jumper.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 07:50 AM) Did Kenny tell you this or something? How can you assume that? He's the guy in your sig. He can look into a crystal ball and see what is going to happen in the future.

QUOTE(Iguana @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 09:36 AM) Then there would be no AJ or Gooch, I think. The amount of money saved by not signing him allowed KW to fill more holes. What Iguana said.

What ever keeps El Duque fresh, but doesn't overwork our other 4 starters if fine by me.

QUOTE(AirScott @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 12:18 AM) here's the thing with rookie starters: they really have no in between. if they aren't lights-out, they get shelled. remember Ervin Santana gave up the cycle in his first ever inning, then shut us out? or Dontrelle Willis throwing a 2 or 1-hitter his rookie year and still ending up with an ERA of around 4 - 4.5? plus, McCarthy's psyche has to be ruined from playing in that bandbox of a AAA stadium (you know what Coors does to pitchers, even on the road those guys are bad), I expect him to bounce back in his next start. Ervin Santana gave up the cycle to the first 4 batters he saw.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 08:27 AM) yep and he was being hazed since he was a rookie, and they said that he had to wear girls boots up to his knees, and supposedly the boot actually saved the bullet from going any deeper and may have saved him from serious injury... It was a Cleveland player.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 08:10 AM) It was posted by someone named Winsox05, apparantly someone who still thinks offense wins championships...even though in the past three years we have none. And I've heard about that InsiderInfo fool. If you ever see a topic made by insiderinfo, read it. They are usually so unbelieveablly funny because of his stupidity. He once posted that he thought that Konerko could steal 50 bases in a season.

And I've heard about that InsiderInfo fool. Oh he is always full of s***. He thought that we should trade for Jay Gibbons and Scott Spezio. I would go on the message boards and read his posts. Complete Dumbass.

QUOTE(obno @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 08:26 AM) I know that Bajenaru hasn't mastered spanish yet but maybe he should be given a shot anway? It's time to give Baj a shot and get rid of Jizzciano.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 07:50 AM) Duque will be the guy, book it. I think Oz will rest him here and there so that he can go late into the season. I expect B-Mac to get spot starts against the teams we should beat like KC., TB, Detroit, Seattle etc. I'd rather see us go after a bullpen guy. Package up all the dead weight in the minors (Borchard and the merry-go-round of 5th starters from last year) and get ONE solid bullpen arm. I agree with you about getting rid of dead weight and getting a solid bullpen arm.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 07:47 AM) I was going to reply to a DUMBASS post on WhiteSox.com, but then I remembered why I'm here in the first place. I honestly think stupid people like to be around stupid people, and stupid people seem to post on WhiteSox.com (sorry if any of you post there). Someone stated that they'd give Viz and Pods back for Lee, because with Lee our offense would be killer. How dumb of a statement is this?!@#$!#@ Seriousy, open your mind. This game was and IS about more than offense. We are winning -- WITHOUT Lee. Not to mention we HAD Lee and for three consecutive years we BOMBED. I recall frequent miscues by Lee, spurts of total lazyness, dumb outfield plays and then ultra-hot-streaks where he'd hit multiple home runs and drive in 6 RBI's in a game...when we were already winning that game 10-0. I never recall Lee helping us a lick when we were down 1-0, though. How many times has Pods changed the face of a game just by getting on when we were down 1-0?! Vizciano is a disappointment, yes...but he's better than he's pitching and I'm sure it's merely because we aren't using him the right way. I see a tendendy to overuse his breaking pitches rather than use that moving fastball...we need to stop this. As for Podsednik, he brings something to the game that you cannot see on the surface and I think it FAR outweighs Lee's power numbers. Pods can score from first on a long single (if necessary), Lee cannot. Pods puts pressure (constant pressure) on opposing pitchers and defenses, Lee cannot. Lee falls asleep and gets picked off at the most mis-opportune times, Pods does not. Lee has better power numbers than Pods, no doubt about it...and he can keep them. Lee didn't terrify an entire team when he got on base...Podsednik does, and that -- at least to me -- is bigger than any home run. I like Lee...but I like having Pods more...way more. So to those of you on WhiteSox.com who want to trade Pods back for Lee...I wanna trade you for a Milwaukee fan, because they're probably not as DUMB as you. Was the post by Insiderinfo ? That guys posts are so unbelieveably bad that they are funny.
