QUOTE(CluelessJoe1919 @ Feb 13, 2006 -> 11:20 AM) I love his approach to the game. I disagree, his appraoch of strike out or homerun is why he hasnt made it yet.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 13, 2006 -> 10:40 AM) How many people have been able to hold Brand under better control this year, with no other inside help? Would you consider all of those players beasts as well?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 13, 2006 -> 09:51 AM) I heard Jerry Angelo has named him the starting QB. Not until his 2nd year. 2nd year QB's have large improvement, and thats why Orton is starting next year.

I had both of them, had sprint for 4 years, hated it, switched to T-mobile.

his quote in the article about his homerun total shows why he hasnt had the stuff to make a big league roster. Its not all about your hr's Joe.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 13, 2006 -> 01:04 AM) Chandler was a beast on Brand and had a few sick blocks. Usually beasts dont give up double-doubles with 30 pts.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 05:25 PM) Im excited to see if Oden is a Robert Traylor or an Emeka Okafor type. Better than both of those guys, you will be surprised when you see him play. He is both athletic and tough, he can score and rebound.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 03:47 PM) Yeah, all of the above are seniors. They basically only return Lewis and Butler who are both good players but that really isn't a whole lot. Butler isnt a whole lot? He played some damn good defense against the "1 man fast break" today.

O-H

QUOTE(crazyman26 @ Feb 11, 2006 -> 02:06 PM) When Rex Grossman actually plays a year starting more than 2 or 3 games in a NFL season you can tell me I am right, but right now I AM ONLY RIGHT, EVERY DAMN THING I SAID AS RIGHT, and YOUR ATTEMPTS TO PROVE ME WRONG HAVE BEEN TOTAL BS! Right now Rex has never played a season starting more than 3 games, fact. Right now Rex has done ZERO to prove he can be a starting QB in the NFL, fact. When Orton wins the starting job in training camp, you all will still be making excuses and still saying Rex is a starting QB in the NFL, which he never was, and denying I was right all along, fact. Crack kills folks, crack kills.

Nice Ribbie, Dont forget, he KNOWS that Angelo really meant Orton was the starter.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 04:19 PM) Sort of a tough call. Anderson is more polished and closer to the majors, but Young has a higher ceiling. Personally I'd probably rather have let Anderson go, but that would have create a problem in center for at least this year. Thats what im saying, a decision had to be made, and it was the correct decision. I think we overpaid for Thome a little, but Young had to go for Vaz. 3 years ago many scouts would have said Borchard had the higher ceiling when compared to Anderson.

Everyone who is complaining about trading young. Would you have rather traded Brian Anderson?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 02:41 PM) Yep, i was insinuating the same thing. It was also an especially funny episode of "The Drew Carey Show", right before they jumped the shark. Just so the kiddies know, even if there isnt bone IN it, it can be broken.

QUOTE(Felix @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 02:41 PM) Ok, I've got it. crazyman26 = Mark Buehrle's an Ace fixed

QUOTE(crazyman26 @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 02:19 PM) The GM said he was starter going into training camp, not the regular season, and also talked about how rookies like Orton play alot better in their 2nd and 3rd year. I already know what the GM was saying, Orton is starter next year, the funny thing is I bet none of you acknowledge I knew that all along when it happens and will just say I was lucky. In fact it will be that I knew all along. So let me get this straight. In your mind, the GM saying that Grossman is the starter going into camp really means that Orton is the starter next year? How does that even make sense to you? When an exec says the player is the starter, doesnt that usually mean he is the starter? When Ozzie and KW say Konerko is the starting 1B going into spring training, but that Thome was a huge pickup for backup at 1b, does that mean Thome is starting? I blame this thread on Crazyman's parents.

This can be a little graphic, so please ignore me if you have a weak stomach. You know how sometimes you can sprain ligaments? Well...........

I will sig bet anyone that this kid already posted under a different name.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 02:07 PM) That reminds me, Crazyman have you told us your IQ yet?

QUOTE(Felix @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 02:06 PM) SBIMI. Whatever happened to him? He turned back into his orignal persona I4E, and now He Gone.

Crazyman, I am the resident welcome commitee for soxtalk.com, and being that I have a sweet BS in psychology, one of my main purposes is to find out the true motivation of new members in the joining the board. Would you please enlighten me? Thanks and welcome.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 02:02 PM) I had a drag out in a game thread over silly comments made by someone that thought Buerhle was better than Santana but I dont think its the same person. Nope. It was in the stevebartman's my idol farewell thread.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 01:52 PM) Based on the last 5 seasons! BTW, if that's the case, how could you say Peavy, Halliday, Santana, Prior, Zambrano are even as good as Buehrle? They have had 1, maybe 2 good years each. DId anyone catch this quote, and do you know who posted it?

QUOTE(crazyman26 @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 01:51 PM) Lets say a player was healthy and benched almost all year, and was brough in to play the playoff game would you say he was the starting QB too? I know Rex was not healthy but my point is there is NOTHING so far to prove me wrong on him being a starting QB in the NFL, he has to be alot more games in a season than he so far, whether he plays a playoff game or not. Um I think you just argued against yourself there. Starters dont love their positions due to injury, which is why Grossman came back and had his position waiting for him. They were both healthy going into the playoffs, Rex started. The GM just said he was the starter going into the year. You, my friend, need a nap or a juice box or something.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) An Amalgam of idiocy. Nice work. Based on the last 5 seasons! BTW, if that's the case, how could you say Peavy, Halliday, Santana, Prior, Zambrano are even as good as Buehrle? They have had 1, maybe 2 good years each.
