QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 14, 2006 -> 08:04 PM) Was the first error more on Mark or Juan? Seems like Juan normally would have had that? That ball had more movement than his pitches towards the plate...maybe...

QUOTE(fathom @ May 14, 2006 -> 08:02 PM) I'm probably putting myself in quickman/flash territory here, but the most disappointing thing of the last week is the lack of major league ready depth we have in the minors. We were on a great stretch before the Haeger game, and if he could have just given us a solid start, our fortunes probably could have been better. I wasn't on this site at the end of the game last night, but why in the world is Jenks warming up in the 8th inning when we're down 3? He needs rest right now! Any minor-leaguer (and most do) would have struggled in their first start no matter how good...

Did I miss anything?

Fix the bullpen.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 13, 2006 -> 08:59 PM) Oh, I will. When we're witnessing our crown jewel Lance Broadway battling Liriano, perhpas others will begin to realize how far off we are from producing a quality system. Sure, we have McCarthy; but Minnesota has their equivalent in Baker. Need to do more then one contributing player once every 4 years. Am I to believe Minnesota, of ALL the teams in the majors, lucked into Santana and perhaps the one pitcher who can duplicate his numbers? If Williams is intent on mimmicking the Twins organization, why not mimmick their scouting and minor league development? I've said before in other threads, you can't find your Lirianos or Santanas refusing to scout players from Central American countries. Perhapas the Twins don't have CA scouts either, but they sure have people who can recognize talent. We're battling them on the field--why not battle them in the minors as well? I'm tired of watching arm after arm fail upon promotion on the big league club. If you don't hold standards--even those which may appear unreasonable, why do anything? Let's keep drafting people and hoping they'll be good bargain chips for a team when midseason approaches. Worked one year, why not again--right? great minor league arms > World Championship

Go Cliff!

Go Sox!

f***

Once you go grizzly...

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ May 12, 2006 -> 10:14 PM) I think both of them do. At age 11 I put almost all blame entirely on the parent/s.

No more aliases?

QUOTE(rangercal @ May 12, 2006 -> 12:49 AM) lol... I just made it to the last page.

QUOTE(knightni @ May 12, 2006 -> 12:11 AM) There is a 80K stadium within 100 miles of Chicago. Doesn't help us much. It's gotta be in the city.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ May 12, 2006 -> 12:01 AM) Apparently, Aaron Rowand's mere presence on that team makes people hate the lollygaggin' Bobby Abreu with a passion. That's awesome. Looks like much more of a tough crowd over there from what I gathered skimming through a couple of pages of that thread (entertaining too). Nowhere near the Rowand fanaticism we've got over here though. There's plenty of criticism to go around.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 11, 2006 -> 01:29 PM) Of all the people I know who e mailed looking for tix, NO ONE got any. I was dying to go, but now :finger to the organizers. Nice job. I gave it a try and stopped by after work yesterday. Didn't get in but talked a little pre-'98 Conan (back when it was funny) for a few minutes with a couple of people waiting around. I knew it was time to go when that cubs mascot yelling woo woo showed up posing for pictures with people in front of the theater.

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ May 11, 2006 -> 04:13 PM) Parents should never have to bury their children. Indeed. The passing of a child is just so heartbreaking...

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 11, 2006 -> 04:18 PM) I agree. I just threw out my season tickets. This is ridiculous.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ May 11, 2006 -> 01:25 PM) So Nintendo is duping people into buying a newer version of the same thing they already have just because it's a little bit smaller and the screens are brighter? If I do decide to buy it, I'll be a first-time buyer. Having many more great games (does psp have any?) made me interested in getting it after having no interest at first and waiting to see what the came out with, and the much prettier design kinda seals the deal.

Do they change their jerseys twice a year like in the Mexican League?

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:15 PM) Just imagine what'll happen around here when we have an actual losing streak. I miss the choke avatars.

5-6

QUOTE(rudylaw @ May 10, 2006 -> 09:20 PM) I luv the Sox. NO quit!!!!!!!! Unlike their fans. I luv this team too.

Feisty board tonight. I like it.
