QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 03:43 PM) How embarrasing for Cowley. I mean, he's even got the other writers making fun of him for his complete lack of professionalism. It takes a lot for that to happen among journalists. I'm amazed the Sun Times keeps him around, and with Ozzie gone, I somehow suspect he's gone from that job soon. He's not well respected by his peers, been that way for years.

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 03:40 PM) FIRE COOPER !!! In about an inning he will be fired from his position as manager.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 03:28 PM) I actually think Angelo does a decent enough job with what he has to work with... But you're right. There's probably 3 cities that can support a Cowboys-style megapalace. New York could but they go the 2 team route instead. Dallas can. Chicago can. Instead we have the smallest stadium in the NFL.

Coop has the Ozzie disease. Should have been taken out 2 batters earlier.

Wow, a bulls*** call fitting of this season.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 03:29 PM) Maddon is arguably the best manager in baseball and uses stats to all the moves he makes. While there is no certainty having a pupil of his can not hurt. What has Alomar done to prove he is better than Martinez? The guy was a firstbase coach. I am fine with either. Why is he the best manager in baseball?

Colby Rasmus just looks uncomfortable.

At some point we have to count on our youngsters whether home grown or acquired to develop. We just have to. Flowers, Viciedo, Morel, De Aza, etc have to all perform like regular MLB players.

Last outing in a White Sox uni for Thornton. Thanks big guy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) At this point, a "Base stealer" is the last thing I want. I want good ballplayers. If they happen to steal bases, they better do so successfully. I hope we stop it with the small ball bulls*** immediately. De Aza has the green light, everyone else should be focused on taking the extra base on contact.

I'm pretty pumped for College bball to start again, even without LaQuinton Dumbass Ross.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) I admit my take on this one may be off base. Morel and Flowers aren't speed demons though, are they? I guess Beckham has potential to steal some bases. Lexi is not a base stealer IMO. I hope we arent predicated on stealing bases to score runs. Flowers is actually pretty quick as is Morel. Konerko and Dunn are really the only base cloggers I listed.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 03:03 PM) Oh ya cause the current state of the Cubs is magnificent. Yeah they are the last team anyone wants to manage. I think its clear its Tito or Martinez and Frankly I like both.

I can tell you stopped watching the Sox months ago.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 02:31 PM) Hmm interesting. It's on after TUF so I've been intrigued but always change the channel for whatever reason. Worth a watch? Uh hell yeah. Punchy from HIMYM is the writer and is a damn funny character too. I started watching it on netflix and im almost done with the second season already. Damn funny and tons of T&A

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 02:27 PM) No No No I actually only see maybe 3 slow guys in that lineup. Pretty quick actually. DA Alexei Viciedo Flowers Rios Becks Morel Can all take the extra base with ease.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 02:15 PM) Two runs? Imagine if they'd addressed the consistent glaring needs of this roster the last decade? I personally believe that the Bears could be run much better, but they arent exactly a poor team. Frankly they should have built a 100k+ stadium and should be raking in more money to put back into the team. I think thats one of their largest errors as well as keeping Jerry Angelo.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 02:05 PM) You guys that follow individual posters and their positions slay me. I can't even tell you the positions of certain people on things my memory is not that good. I recognize fathom cause he is the king of the game threads and I pm'ed Jordan a few times so I recognize him. And caufield because he has that wild job overseas. And Milkman because he hates me because I disagree with his positions on everything. I have noticed a few people back Ozzie, not many. I can't tell u any of their names. Why don't you just read each thread for what it's worth. What about my position on Ozzie upsets you so much? I applauded those on the board who hate KW as well. It's easy to put the poster on ignore as well. I've backed Ozzie for years, but its hard to believe you still love the guy after he just quit on the team and left for more money.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 02:14 PM) But that team you list will include players we get for Danks and Floyd. Are you saying those will be minor leaguers? You lineup looks like the team. Seriously will it be the slowest team in the history of baseball? Those guys better hit a ton of home runs. Very very slow. Maybe slowest team in Sox history? Like I said, we cannot speculate who we get.

Did you know the Air Force bought ipad2's for every pilot? All of their flight plans will now be on ipad's

You guys are wasting your energy, ignore is a beautiful thing.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 12:11 AM) I just want iOS5 Ya, just saw the demo, awesome.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 01:56 PM) Oh, I don't know about that, haha... But in regards to your first statement, that's a good point. Pearl did get most of the coverage on ESPN even though Kiffin (probably) did worse things. I won't deny that certain institutions seem to turn a blind eye towards the SEC regarding football (e.g. NO ONE is mentioning Trent Richardson owning a new 2011 Yukon worth ~$45,000 even though his family is not "well off"). But, yes, I do think that we should come out okay. At least this violation for paying for Lache Seastrunk's unofficial visit involves a coach and player that are not apart of the program. Correction, has owned 2 cars, and a brand new house.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) I wouldn't mind Stewart starting the season at AAA if they intend to keep him a starter. He's been in the bullpen already in his career and Toronto spent a lot of time working to undo that while making him a starter. A year in the bullpen is a worse step back for him than it was for Sale. Possibly. WHen I was making up the Pen in the rebuild thread I was actually kind of surprised how well it rounded out with young pieces. I suspect Reed, Santiago and maybe Lindsay could all contribute next season.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 28, 2011 -> 01:37 PM) Yes, nothing say rebuild like trading away the few proven cost-controlled pieces you have for, um, unproven cost-controlled pieces. I dont think I've put more than one user on ignore in several years, and in the last 2 days I've had to put Marty and Victory both on it. Just awful. Santos is going to be worth so much to this team over the next few years and then will be a HUGE value in the trade market IMO. Less than a million bucks for a pen arm like that is awesome.
