QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 07:47 PM) Mentioned, yes. Doesn't mean they're worth a damn. Haigwood's a typical White Sox pitching prospect with a ceiling of 4th, 5th starter. There are plenty of replacements for him. Rupe? Texas can keep him. Knowing our troubles, Castro probably will emerge into an elite starter for Philadelphia. Or wherever else he bounces too. Too bad we couldn't retain him..... EDIT: in reading over your post, maybe you meant bullpen troubles. if thats the case everyone can ignore the rest of this post what exactly are our troubles? my friend says this type of thing all the time about our minor league system never developing those types of studs, as someone mentioned, like liriano. well what is the definition of developed? cuz the twins traded for liriano, thus if they developed him, then we developed garland, cotts, and jenks, not to mention one of the best lefthanded starters in teh game, buerhle, one of the best right handed power bats in the game, clee, another solid righty bat, maggs, and a gold glove third basemen who will bat .280 and hit 25 dongs in crede. with the exception of cotts, those are all former, or soon to be all stars. now what types of troubles have we had recently where guys we let go turn into something that bites us in the butt? the best i can think of is the kip wells/fogg....maybe gary majewski. its possible gio, young, even reed come back to bite us, but i just dont see us having troubles yet

i like this idea, simply because i am getting frustrated seeing podsednik butcher plays in the field, get picked off, and hit like it was 04, the only thing he has been doing to keep my patience has been drive in big runs lately, which we all know he won't keep up. this way figgins could be a possible replacement for him at the leadoff spot

QUOTE(Mansoo @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 02:45 AM) Tim (VT): here's the biggy: World Series matchup and winner? Jim Callis: White Sox vs. Mets, with the White Sox repeating. Mike A. (SD, CA): KC Royals or Charlotte Knights - who'd win in a best of 7? Jim Callis: Give me the Knights in seven. not just because he said that, but jim callis is absolutely one of the best in the business

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 09:27 PM) 36 at-bats i like widger, but i would be for this move, widger really doesnt bring anything to the table, blanco is absolutely one of the top 3 or 4 defensive catchers in the league....not sure about his pitch calling, but i know he was maddux's personal catcher for years so it cant be that bad

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 02:58 PM) Widger has really lost his luster from last year. He can't hit now, and he certainly can't call a game. What's his CERA this year? Contreras has been bad for a few starts. I hope he gets his ass back on track And Politte...man. Get off this team. the fact of the matter is there never really was any luster last year, he hit what, like 5 HR... he got lucky a few times, and in limited ABs that shows up

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 01:14 PM) What a buzzkill. ive been to 4 games this year, and both of those were two of em

cubs

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 12:00 PM) Bill Stoneman is a complete idiot for letting this one go. i talked to doug sisson a few months ago, who was the manager that got into the feud with jenks, and he really seemed to believe that jenks was just never gonna make it with the angels, and he needed a serious reality check and they just simply let him go....im not gonna say it was stupid for them to let him go, but rather stupid to ever let a situation with a player erupt to the point where that player cant play for your team

i know its the pirates who have lost 11 in a row, but its possible snell maholm and oliver perez could sneak up on us a bit i think, kinda like those series when we lose 2 outa 3 to KC...that said i still think we take the series easy, especially with buerhle garcia and contreras going

what most people fail to realize is that brandon is still 22, the same age as broadway, and just a year older than mcculloch. you can't forget how fast he flew through the minors, and into the majors. Here is the game by game breakdown for Brandon at each level. Low A: 15 games High A: 8 games AA: 4 games AAA: 19 games If this guy had taken a normal route, hed just be ready for AAA Broadway has already had 11 games at high A and 15 at AA, and is the same age, yet i doubt anyone wants to give up on him, but people do for mccarthy? factor in the fact that Bmac led the minors in Ks and posted absolutely ridiculous K:BB ratios at just about every stop, and the fact that 38 innings of work in the bullpen means jack s***, (and even his #s arent that bad) and im not ready to give up on anyone.

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) Miller is such a dumbass...... "Here comes Ozzie Smith to the mound oops i mean ozzie smith oops I mean Guillen, he has been in the news latley because of his dirty mouth......Tadda Taguchi is coming up to bat.....Tadda Guchi to Juan OOOORIBE and thats out number 3" He must need speech class, or Joe Morgan needs to stop rubbing his thigh during the brodcast..... miller pronounces many things incorrectly, but i like him as an announcer

QUOTE(gar102 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 07:01 AM) I believe the gates open 2 hours before gametime this year. That would get you in to see the visitor's BP. thats what i heard too, but each of the 3 games ive been to this year they have opened an hour and a half early like last year

to me everything mariotti said on the score can be summed up as follows: I should be able to dish out heat to the white sox, but they shouldnt be able to dish it back to me. he kept going on and on and on about physical threats that are made to him when that happened what 10 years ago?!?

im rooting for a bench clearing brawl resulting in massive injuries and suspensions to both teams

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 10:12 AM) Its time for Freddy to put in a couple of solid starts and lower his ERA a bit. IIRC freddy is among the top 3 in ERA vs. national league during interleague

QUOTE(Contreras @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 02:58 PM) Incredible coup for Kenny Williams. Step one: find team desperate for a LOOGY Step two: sell high on AAAA LOOGY Step three: laugh all the way to the playoffs The talent levels of the parties in this trade are miles apart. This would be like trading Ross Gload for Kevin Youkilis. So long as Riske isn't used as a setup man or closer, he's fine. In Cleveland, every time they brought him in for the 8th or 9th with men on base, he had a meltdown (walks, mostly). When he was used in the 7th and 8th with no one on, he was reliable. before this year riske has been a horse too....70+ innings in each of the last 3 years

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 10:40 PM) I could watch Mike Sweeney destroy Jeff Weaver all day. haha thats the best hit in that video in my opinion...and the AAAer hittin the catcher is just so classic

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 10:33 PM) Off topic fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyDN2y3S3iE...aseball%20fight they are like cavemen...what meatheads! who would think of retaliation like that?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 10:19 PM) Couldn't he also have told the bullpen that he didn't want any retaliation in a game that was essentially over because he (ozzie) didn't want to get suspended, nor can he afford to lose any pitchers? Possibility? possibility for sure, that would explain why ozzie was so pissed....something just doesnt seem right about ozzie gettin so upset at tracey for not gettin it done when he clearly was trying to

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 10:09 PM) Isn't that expected though when any of our pitchers give up more than 2 or 3 runs in an inning? haha sometimes i dont even bother with them, its like the world is collapsing every time a guy gives up a HR or makes an error

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 10:08 PM) MLB news says Ozzie was yelling at Tracey when he came out? I had turned it off by that point. well tracey certainly tried to hit blalock, but he just didnt get it done, that type of thing happens. ie shawn estes roger clemens

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 10:03 PM) I hate Showalter more each and every time we play him. He's one guy I wouldn't mind seeing a laser foulball smash in the face. haha i loved it when ozzie said showwalter was just jealous because ozzie has more money and is better looking

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 10:02 PM) I wish some of our starters had the balls of Padilla. He challenged the Sox, and he shoved it up our ass after the altercations. no doubt about that, thats why tomorrow we need to make a statement by getting a big lead and then just pushing it down their F-ing throats, no letting up...swinging 3-0, stealing bases in a blow out, etc., and then late in the game if the situation calls for it, brushing someone back

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 10:01 PM) I just watched the fight from the Detroit game in 2000 the other day. That thing was so bad ass. Bill Simas coming running into the pile. FIck acting like an asshole. Surprisingly, Hawk wasn't as talkative as I remember. Just kinda sat there and watched. There were like 2 big fights and a mini fight that day. Awesome. exactly people loved it when anderson jumped in for his teammates throwin haymakers, but think its classless to try to hit a ball back at padilla? btw: whered you see that fight, id love to see the replay as well

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 09:58 PM) I gotta agree. We should have retaliated somehow. In baseball, retaliation is acceptable and acknowledged. Fights happen, it's part of the game. Bad call on the ump to take away any chance of retaliation for the Sox. If your guy gets thrown at twice, you throw at their guys too. Thats baseball. Now, Hawk, being the old school SOB that he is, went crazy with the kneecap and wait outside the hotel room thing. And personally, I like it. you gotta remember hawks old broadcast partner was none other than probably the most feared head hunter in the history of the game don drysdale
