looks like our guys are making a pretty good effort to go the other way

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 07:27 PM) Speaking of 3rd round prospects, it looks like Danks could very well be there, so I'd expect him to be the pick if he was there, even if Boras is his client. from a monetary prospective, he probably should have taken the money we threw at him before he went to texas....i think we offered a 1 mil, but he didnt bite...dont think hell get that offer this year although the degree is probably worth 1 mil over the long run

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 07:25 PM) Wow, that's crazy power. All he did was give the ball a love tap and it flew over 330 ft to right field. he got a pretty good rip on it

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 07:22 PM) I'm willing to insult our organization much as the next person for their issues with drafting and developing even average players, but there's no way they overdraft that much. Even if we pass on Alvarez (which I'll be upset with), it won't be the difference in talent that, say, Rick Porcello to Aaron Poreda provided. It'll instead be the difference of Wallace/Beckham/Smoak/whomever else around that slot and Alvarez. if there is ever a year to go over slot...this is the year as we dont have a 2nd rounder, so why not use the extra money to throw it at a guy like pedro

does greinke still throw that 50 mph curve ball

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) still says a hit. joe hasnt gotten the chance to call the press box yet

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 07:13 PM) Another horrible defensive play by one of the most overrated Sox players in history. I agree with Tony, Javy might be the most underrated now. couldnt agree more

ugh another poor play by joe....hes been brutal after his hot start

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 06:04 PM) Kaplan and Zaidman might be my two least favorite radio guys, besides for Mike Murphy, of course. im a big zaidman fan, but only for bears...when it comes to football he knows his stuff

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 03:41 PM) Gwynn .394 in 1994? that was my guess too.....i know brett hit .390 one year

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 02:40 PM) Who is, by legend, the man on the MLB logo? killebrew

http://teamrankings.com/mlb/27powerratings.php3 12 of the bottom 13 are NL teams...

ive had a remarkable stretch of running into sports figures in airports.....sat next to jerry krause waiting for a flight, was behind bob costas in secruity line, saw hunter hillenmeyer, bruce weber, waited in line to board the plane with brian urlachers brother casey, all this in the last 2 or 3 years about 6 months when the cavs were in boston i ran into drew gooden, donyell marshall, daniel gibson at some bar... oh haha my brother was driving next to hester in his pimpmobile with the LV logos the other day

ive never even heard of the opposing pitcher for the padres tonight....just wow gerut? barrett? McAnulty? Even kal greene stinks...the level of competition is just unreal

david price is dealing....3-0 0.00 ERA18 IP 19 K 2 BB i heard some chatter that if the rays are in it at the end of the year he may come up and take on a Joba type set up role....either way he certainly is ready for AA

anything of substance in these 15 pages that i should read ?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 03:39 PM) Mizzu freaking choked. as did vandy

to me that really sounds like ozzie has had enough of walker....saying hes "done protecting people" and what not...and the whole year and a half thing, i mean i dont think realistically there can be major changes to the roster that will bring about change by tuesday....so i think ozzie is referring to walker (not saying that will bring about change either)

game was lost back in the 5th when we had 1st and third nobody out...and got no runs..then tampa scores 2

joe used to be so good in these situations at getting a sac fly...do it again joe

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 04:05 PM) Thornton has been superb this year. good point...everyone in the pen really has...dotel has had a rough patch or two, but hes been very good overall hell even when macdougal was up, he looked bad but got good results i suppose wasserman has been bad, but he hasnt really pitched meaningful innings

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 03:37 PM) I'd go with that Tigers team that almost set the most losses record. Rockies have injuries and if healthy, would be better than that Detroit team. lol i agree with you on that team....and whats sad is that i think they were either 9-10 or 10-9 against us that year

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 03:35 PM) And this current Rockies team might be the worst team to wear a baseball uniform this decade. i think last years team was probably the worst WS team i have ever seen...certainly the worst pitching WS team ive ever seen

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 03:14 PM) Giambi is like top 5 AL in OPS. Damon has an .838 OPS. These guys are freaking Hall of Famers compared to what we've got going on. Beltre has been pretty good, too. Certainly more productive than our guys. Silva and Sexson have been bad, but it's still just those two guys vs. our pathetic 3. Jones has been bad. Pierre is OK for what they want out of him. Loaiza has been about as good as Buehrle. Those guys make about $10-12 M less than our three. ok i didnt realize giambi was that good, but lets toss out damon and throw in mussina and add in the fact that pavano has 0 innings and id take our trio the dodgers trio: loaiza was cut, but htey still pay his entire contract, so i have no idea how he is "as good as buerhle" pierre stinks...his OPS is lower than both konerko and Thome, and they make more than our guys do when you consider that we pay only half of thome and beltre hasnt really been any better than thome has regardless it doesnt matter...i knew what your original point was, that for what we pay em they should be alot more productive, and i agree

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 03:03 PM) Really? I am saying 3 or more guys on another that make as much money. I guess you can probably find someone on the Yankees but I don't even know for sure. oh a trio im not entirely sure, but there probably is......yankees...pavano giambi and almost anyone (maybe damon) mariners have beltre silva and sexson which has to be maybe the worst dodgers have pierre loaiza and andruw just about all those trios make more than our trio and are equally as bad or worse
