QUOTE(knightni @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 11:44 AM) I feel bad for Brady Quinn because he's going to the Raiders. May be a homer call, but I would rather have Troy Smith than Brady Quinn any day of the week. Oh and the #1 pick in last years draft: 1 sack Mark Anderson (pick 159):5.5 sacks

The Yanks will pick up Aramis if they trade A-rod. I think all they would want from us is some of our arms, which we can afford to trade IMO. Garcia would be a nice trade piece, and A-rod would play SS for us

QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 02:29 AM) Why would so many of you want this guy? He defines losing. He batted eighth the other day. It turned into the sideshow. Why did he bat him eighth? Cause Torre is sick of him, just like Oz was sick of lightbat Brian Anderson. Leave ARod to rot in NY. As long as he is there we won't have to worry about NY winning it. Keep Crede should be our rallying cry. Just say no to AROD and keep Joe. Hahaha, you are comparing one of the best baseball players of the last several years with Brian Anderson??? Hilarious QUOTE(redandwhite @ Oct 9, 2006 -> 07:09 AM) The whole leaving the team and that previous team becoming better nonsense is all coincidence, nothing more. Alex Rodriguez is a hell of a ball player, if you have a chance to get him while he's at his lowest, you go out and you get him. Regardless of how poorly he did in the post season this year. I agree with this 100 percent. It seems that the media has effected alot of people in this thread. A-rod is one of the best in the game if not THE best, if you can get him for a lower price than he is worth, you do it.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Oct 8, 2006 -> 09:22 PM) I don't see that he has to be out the door. There are some Yankee fans who defend him and know that the rest of the lineup minus Jorge Posada and Jeter I believe it was, did horrible in the playoffs. The fans dont pay the bills. You have to think Big George is not happy with A-rod right now, and someone has to be shown the door. Out of all the marquee players that you let go, he is the first. Plus you know they are going to make a run at pitching next year, why dont we offer up some clutch playoff pitchers (Garcia, Mark, Count) and see if they bite on one of them.

Fact is, you have to think A-rod is done in NY. He disappeared in the playoffs again, and he has to be out the door. Also the Yanks found out they need better pitching to compete in the postseason. We package Buehrle with someone for A-rod, I can see it happening. He plays SS for us though, not 3B

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 11:16 AM) An ounce of prevention, I always say. Of course, these days, who can afford a whole ounce?!? this guy apparently

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 11:20 AM) Except Herbert Perry. well, the milkman always delivers.

Thats why i have started dosing myself at an early age.

QUOTE(mu mu @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 08:49 AM) Roeper is a tool. Roeper has always been a tool. And no, he shouldn't stick to movie reviews, he sucks at them. I really hate Roeper. I dont know. Didnt he write Sox in the City? That was a great white sox book. I get the feeling alot of people on here havent read his work, they just like to "hate" any reporter.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 09:39 AM) You were saying? Tiggers now go home having split 2 in NY. Not a bad position to be in. Go kitties! Knock those friggin' Yanks around. I'd love to see a Tigers/A's ALCS. An ALC representative, and Frank Thomas. I'd rather have both ALC teams out of it.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Oct 6, 2006 -> 08:19 AM) And? The point was he sucked that series. Just like Lee and Ordonez did. But, of course, it's hip and cool to act as if Frank was the only one who didn't hit in that series. The whole team didnt hit in that series, I think EVERYONE knows that is a fact.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 09:56 PM) Maybe if Brian Anderson hit over .200 the first two months of the season his manager wouldn't have gotten sick of the thought of putting this automatic out in the lineup. I cannot for the life of me understand the love of this guy. I can understand people writing, "I still have faith in Brian if we have patience. He might learn how to hit in the bigs." I cannot understand people that wanted this guy to have 500 at bats. BA was AWFUL at the plate this year. He was great defensively. Maybe if the manager has realized that BA was better against RHP he wouldnt have platooned him against LHP over and over which delayed his development. Not to mention BA was good in the second half which shows he figured out major league pitching. Prospects develop, thats why we have to use patience.

QUOTE(whitesoxin @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 04:13 PM) Todd Jones >>> Zumaya Yeah right.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Oct 4, 2006 -> 06:14 PM) I am so disappointed in you. There were frogs humping on Animal Planet while you were tuning in for that complete and utter nonsense. Why don't you get your priorities in order. I would have rather watched anything than that boatload of crap they call Friday Night Lights. Way to ruin the title of a pretty good movie idiots. On another note, The Nine has me hooked and I cant wait to see what happened in the bank,

Zumaya is going to be one hell of a closer.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 02:50 PM) Garcia is my 2nd choice...but Buehrle is more important, because Buehrle will bring back more in a trade than Garcia. But, if someone wanted Vazquez or Contreras enough to give us a much better deal than we'd get for Garcia, I'd be open to that as well. Also, I wouldn't be terribly angry if we wound up dealing 2 starters, if the talent coming back was right. Even if it wound up with Haegar in the rotation...if it rebuilt our minor leagues or fixed some of our key problems from last year. I would rather trade the Count that Mark. Mark is such a character piece of this team and a leader of the staff, it would be devastating to me and i think the franchise if we dealt him.

Garcia. Not only because of his salary, but because a power pitcher who has lost 8 mph on his fastball needs to go regardless. I dont care what trick pitch he reinvented, he is done in my eyes, and he is the most logical to go IMO.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 01:09 PM) I thought it was crazyman99. but now I'm sure it was crazyman26 Eating your crow about Orton and Grossman yet? I get the prize then!!!!! Wooot!!!! Up for another banning then? QUOTE(cuddlyboy26 @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 12:16 AM) At the end of the year where do you think Rex Grossman will be considered among the leagues 32 starting QBs? remember when you said this? that was awesome

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 08:19 AM) Excluding 2005, since 1999 the AL Central has only won 1 series and has lost 6 while posting a 12-21 record. Combined with this year they are now 12-24. This was also the first year since the Wild Card that two AL Central teams made the playoffs. Great representation. Its a good thing we dominanted last year.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Oct 5, 2006 -> 08:36 AM) there is zero reason to trade Brian Anderson... a guy who batted .257 with excellent range and defense post-All star break and would have done even better if Ozzie would have actually played him daily... If Dontrelle was involved you would have to listen.

Ok, so I sat down to make sure lost was recording on my Comcast DVR last night. And people who know this unit know that it is unreliable at times. So i sit down and it has frozen. So I have to unplug the unit and wait for it to start back up to watch the show and record it. I effectively miss the first segment, the first 5 min. Please sometime tell me what happened before the first commercial!!!

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Oct 4, 2006 -> 04:38 PM) Radke's busted shoulder will be getting the game 3 start. Meh, and even worse option IMO.
