QUOTE(AirScott @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:40 PM) just DH Pods and put Griffey in LF. Pods isn't that good of a fielder outside of his speed, though he has his moments. what about carl?

He basically had a 100 word piece on each team. Mentions we are 26-14 in 1 run games, that we are lucky to a degree. Bceause even if we had a .500 record in 1 run games we would still be tied with boston for the best record in the AL. Also, if Jon Garland pitches well in october we can win our first WS in 87 years because, our hitting won't carry us. That's about it. Nothing special in the piece.

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 08:36 AM) I was at last night's game (my 10th of the year with 4 more to go) and the way Paulie tried to coast into second on what seemed like a for sure double was disgusting. The ball went off the wall, the LF threw to the SS, who threw to 3B who attempted to tag Carl and then threw to 2B to throw Paulie's slow ass out. That would have been 2nd and 3rd no out. Ozzie benched Uribe for not running out a fly ball a few weeks ago, he should sit Pualie for the same thing. And while he's at it, sit Crede for not taking out thier catcher on that play at home. Good sox fans think a like. I thought the same thing yesterday. I was not mad at the umpire for calling him out. I was mad at paulie for making it close in the first place. How many $millions$ do we have to pay him to hustle?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:17 AM) So if Hawk were to say Abortions should be legalized and Mariotti were to disagree, you're siding with Hawk all the way because of him being there every play for the White Sox?? No thats dumb. And don't say you can't compare these situations because one has to do with real life and the other entertainment because this originated from Ozzie saying something that had nothing to do with being related to baseball and the same with Hawk. You have that ride or die mentality. I could give a s*** less of Hawk owned the whole team, got us any player we wanted like the Yanks and gave each fan 100 bucks, right is right and wrong is wrong. What Hawk did was wrong and hypocritical. Nothing that has to do with baseball will change my opinion on that. How the f*** is that baseball related? You are really reaching on that one. Nothing that has happened was even close to what you are trying to make an example out of. Why don't you just put words in Hawk's mouth? You are acting like Hawk is completely wrong here. Put it this way. No one is right, no one is wrong. Jay just needs to shut the f*** up.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:03 AM) Hawk luvs this team just as much, if not more, than maybe of us die-hards. I will almost always take his side, depending on how far he might cross a line... moronotti is a writer, and not a very good one either. His sports knowledge is very limited, and I equate it to that of just about any casual sports fan. Just watch him on the number of shows he's on and see how he covers up his limited knowledge of sports by spewing ignorant s*** meant to bring out reactions from his audience, mainly anger and disgust. Hawk has defended this team time and time again. His feelings are well-known. Yeah, he's a homer, and I personally luv that about him. moronotti has ripped this team time and time again. He'll write just about anything if he thinks it'll get him attention, whether good or bad. He enjoys talking s*** to get a reaction. So are you really going to take the side of a dumbass who has oftentimes talked s*** about this team just because he's written a couple of positive articles laced with jabs over a someone who you know luvs and supports the team?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 02:00 AM) I know he won't get fired. I'm hoping he retires soon. He's a god awful announcer. I like his hawkisms and all, but he still is extremely homeristic. I rather see Steve Stone in there with a Len Kasper. Unlike you, I'll side with someone I feel is right. Mariotti did nothing to Hawk that I remember reading in yesterday's article. Hawk just went on attack mode. I don't see Hawk ripping Michael Smith from Around the Horn & some Boston Newspaper I think it was for agreeing with Mariotti's assesment. I don't see Hawk ripping anyone else on ESPN or the guy who wrote the original article. He was very hypocritical for blasting Mariotti because he had the chance to while claiming that's what Mariotti does(who has been praising the White Sox nationally for some time now). Marrioti is a bandwagon jumper and only prints what sells. Hawk is behind the mic , living and dying with this f***ing team. Hawk gets paid for it , yeah. But, he is one of the few who watch every damn motherf***ing play. As hard as it is, at times. 2004's mid season nose dive... Hawk was there. 2003's september collapse.. Guess f***ing what? he was there. 2002's nightmare season... Hawk was there. 2001's 14-29 start.... Hawk was there too. every play. good times and his share of the bad. While most of us can turn off the tv during a seven game losing streak, Hawk watches every f***ing play. I will side with Hawk over someone who just conveniently decided to join in on our success.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 01:46 AM) I understand if Hawk was attacking Mariotti for being stupid, but it was a legit article. And Hawk was just spewing stupid s***. You don't know what brews on behind the scenes. Believe me, you and I do not know the entire story. I don't see why this is a reason for hawk to lose his job. If hawk is gone. I, personally , would start a bring back hawk campaign. I would never listen to audio on tv again. When I watch a game I feel I am watching it with a good buddy when I listen to Hawk. I do not care if hawk is 100% wrong. I would never side with the devil: Jay Marrioti.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 12:16 AM) Hawk was over the top tonight and wrong. I honeslty hope Mariotti rips him a new one. Mariotti has actually been supportive of the White Sox these past few weeks. He also said stupid s*** about where would Griffey play again too. Here's hoping that you're gone Hawk. I got sand in my cl*t!!! Baseball is a man's sport . Deal with what he said.

f*** yeah! hawk! You're the f***ing man!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) More importantly, how is it possibly waving? There is no wind or draft in space. It's a Hollywood movie. for people who can't sense you're sarcasm.... Didn't they have a 2nd bar at a 90 degree angle to hold the flag? I'm pretty sure they did.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 09:12 AM) I apologize, Red & White, for freaking out. I have to stop venturing to soxtalk while intoxicated. Please accept my genuine apology. But still, f*** the Red Sox... PS: I think it makes more sense to be a fan of the White Sox, and then perhaps pick a second team from the NL. That's just my $.02. No, f*** THAT. Don't apologize. I agree with you. I know you still agree with yourself too. Who cares if people don't agree with you're opinion. I say f*** the red sox too.

I only posted this because I got into a debate with some old buddies from school the other night. I believe it happened. I was shocked to find out not everyone feels the way I do.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 11:56 AM) Of course, then there's Steve Phillips, who I suspect knows no more than we do... Rowand!!? Even if Rowand got through waivers.... I would not include rowand for Griffey. No f***ing way.

QUOTE(UofIChiSox @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) if you find free keeper leagues, let me know, I'd like to get into that. I know ESPN has a free one this year, but I'm sticking with Yahoo for now just because all the guys that I do leagues with already have Yahoo IDs and we didn't think that ESPN would be that much better. Sorry I can't be more of a help. it's cool. I may stick with yahoo this year too. I'd like to find a free keeper league myself too.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 02:03 AM) If you are talking about eastern North Dakota, maybe...in the Fargo area mainly. Else...North Dakota is atleast 7 hours away from anything too. In other words, the suck...like a bigger suck than even Nebraska and Iowa. Atleast those states have PEOPLE. When the biggest city in your state has like 100,000 people in it, your state sucks...lol. Confession: I have never been to ND. I retract my statement about it sucking. Im sure ND has it's cool points too.

QUOTE(UofIChiSox @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 11:55 AM) Kelly Ripa is definitely hot, I don't think you're alone on that one. Mine is Ali Larter, She's sort of B-List, but she's the whip cream bikini girl from Varsity Blues, and she's been in the Final Destination movies and American Outlaws, among others. I dont think you get the point of the thread. Look at the first post.

QUOTE(Da Sox @ Aug 13, 2005 -> 11:41 AM) Without Grossman it's going to be Hutch or Orton. PLEASE GOD LOVIE START ORTON! I have no idea why anyone else should be getting snaps from this point on in the pre-season. Hutch and Orton need all the snaps they can get.

Which league do you guys all use? I am part of a couple yahoo leagues. I'm looking for different leagues though. Anyone know of any free keeper leagues?

QUOTE(Benson&Rexage @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 02:44 PM) I'm just kidding. The only two players the bears could even offer for TO would be Urlacher and mike brown LOL!!!! Yeah right! Philly would do that in a heart beat. We would not trade urlacher or Brown. We already paid those huge signing bonuses for both of them. TO is not helping his trade value. IMO, philly would be happy to get a 1st round pick for him.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 07:55 PM) :headshake Pitifull... The only reason you are sticking you're nose in this thread is because of My campbells soup avy. Get over it.
