Nice ... Pennant Fever

QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:14 PM) This is misleading. Once the Sox bought out his contract, which I believe they did shortly after the World Series, he was a free agent. They could have signed Frank to a new contract before the abitration deadline without having to offer him arbitration. This is correct.

Chad tracey is good in my book. Though, sean tracey sucks a ss

QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 05:30 PM) We wouldn't have had to give him the $10M option in order to retain him. We could have given him the buyout and then an incentive laden contract for 2006. ^^^

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) And who's to say Frank doesn't go down with a severe injury in the first week of the season if he was still on the Sox? It's amazing how he's managed to stay healthy who knows if he has that same luck if he had stayed in Chicago. Also, if you remember the Sox were pretty brutal for the first month of the season, Thome basically carried the damn team during that same time Frank was pretty damn bad the Sox would likely have fallen pretty far behind the Tigers if it weren't for Thome and who knows how far back they'd be right now. Fact is he didn't get hurt. Could have been had for 500 k + incentives and we would have still had Rowand and 2 stud spects. Rowand could have been traded for a different need on the team , perhaps bullpen (that killed us in april). I said this all before the season started, so I don't want to hear no hindsight bulls***. Had frank gone down in april I would have had to hear it from several guys here. Since he is kicking ass on a 1st place team, you are hearing from me.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 08:32 AM) If we had Frank, we'd be out of the race. He got off to a slow start, and spent some time on the DL. Thome got off to an amazing start, and now w/ Konerko and Dye on fire, we can handle his regression. disagree, Frank has been scorching while the sox and thome have been struggling.

I would also have to agree with everyone in this thread. Guillen is awesome!

QUOTE(JoeBatterz @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 10:44 AM) This was a perfect no pressure situation to get him some work. Let's hope he starts contributing on a regular basis. aside from the first guy you face in over a year is big papi

I agree 100%

Frank is an all time Great.

he f***ing sucks so bad. Guess I have to give him credit that he gets it. Go Rob!

We are defending our first crown in 88 years, it's September and the best you can do is Brian Anderson? Knight, I'm sorry I don't like it.

QUOTE(CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 12:18 AM) First its Neifi Perez to the Tigers when Placido Polanco went down with an injury . Now its Phil Nevin to the Twins. Is this the Tribune Co. trying to protect its investment by sabotaging the Sox chances by sending players to our rivals to make the playoffs? I think it is no coincidence that they just traded two starters to the two white sox division rivals.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2006 -> 12:54 AM) HE'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PITCHER!!!!!! When Hawk Harrelson starts criticizing a White Sox player approach, something is definitely wrong. Maybe his birth certificate is wrong and he's really close to 40 instead of 30. yeah, that's it... Freddy is 38 years old.

Off topic: Can someine explain how I can find out how many runs freddy gave up in our game four world series victory? I can't find any reference. Please help. Sincerely, A friend in need.

GOSOX is a good one

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 04:00 AM) Sloshed kalapse, I need my ID back. You said you would only use it to buy a 6ixer. I can't wait until 2010 when you will be of legal drinking age. I'm tired of helping out your habit.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 03:21 AM) If he focused on defense like he did that entire postseason and used the leg kick swing and went to right field like he did that entire postseason, Uribe would be an untouchable. But he does neither, so HE GAWN! (probably). do your parents know your up so late? Uribe will be just fine. He will be on the south side for a few more years. Dig this post up if I'm wrong. But What I could do is, dig up thousands of posts of speculation, here on soxtalk , the last few years, that never came true.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 03:12 AM) All the terrible at bats, the fact he's never on base, isn't always focused in the field, and his generally wildly inconsistent play may have something to do with it . I agree. But off topic... I sure did love those last 2 plays of the World Series. Ok Back to the part I agree with you about.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 11:12 PM) He was tipping his pitches by the way. I agree more than last time

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 17, 2006 -> 11:54 PM) Lugo would be nice in a trade for Gload. Lugo for Gload and a PTBNL. By the way... If it happens... I called it. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=53026 I have never agreed more

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 12:59 AM) The Sawks didn't claim Lopez, anyway. He passed through waivers completely, giving Baltimore the right to trade him anywhere. 100 % agreement

QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 12:49 AM) Sure glad we came out of this one with a win, because we have a rough road trip coming up. We're going to have to be playing our best. couldn't agree more
