QUOTE(Guillen @ Feb 26, 2007 -> 07:19 AM) I'm going down to ST this week to catch the Cubs game on Sunday and maybe the Brewers game on Monday. Does anybody know who is penciled in to start these games? I looked all over but couldn't find it or maybe I'm just an idiot. Help appreciated. its Jon Garland and Rich Hill....

QUOTE(Scwible @ Feb 24, 2007 -> 04:48 PM) Some of our old friends....... freddy when will there be sox pix like this?

contreras's new look:

QUOTE(ChiSoxFan @ Feb 17, 2007 -> 12:34 AM) "I'm excited," Buehrle said before working out on an elliptical machine. "This is the most I've done in an off-season to get prepared.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 16, 2007 -> 05:15 PM) Not great but not terrible either. I was never really a fan of the silver brim caps anyway. i like it, like u said, its a lot better than the old one

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Feb 16, 2007 -> 11:55 AM) There was some doubt in 2003-4, but I think we all now know Thomas is probably a shoe-in to go in as a White Sox whenever he finally gets the call 5 years after he calls it a career. However, which current White Sox (that have spent most of their career with the team) do you think will eventually be hall of famers? I think Buehrle and Konerko are the most obvious choices, but who else? Could Konerko necessarily even make it with 500 homers and a .280 career average? i would say probably just Thome(even though hes only been with the sox 1 yr). Buehrle?

QUOTE(joeynach @ Feb 14, 2007 -> 02:47 PM) I really hope he does it at home so he can have the appropriate message on the board and curtain call and such.

1.tigers 2.indians 3.sox 4.twins i give the edge to the indians over the sox because i think that in a 3 game series, sabathia, westbrook, lee would win over buehrle garland contreras

>great post. i dont like the fact that he didnt aquire not 1 "difference" maker. he added a lot of good pieces but not one true differnece maker. we needed an upgrade in lf, cf and ss. when i heard ozzie say that cf is the most important position, blah blah blah, i was certain we would get a cf and it never happend.

QUOTE(VicRattlehead @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 04:56 PM) I see your point but that was the case last year with Ozzie putting him out there. I know he's not a good LF but neither is Pods and I do like Ozuna's hustle. Who knows, maybe KW ends up making a trade to help the situation. im perfectly fine with pablo leading off, he was pretty good at it last year but i just dont like him defensively.

QUOTE(VicRattlehead @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 04:28 PM) Ozuna against lefties and Erstad against righties til Pods comes back. but then that will mean ozuna would be in left

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jan 30, 2007 -> 12:13 PM) If i recall correctly they disappear in this order: Cubs/Sox Boston/Sox Yankees/Sox Whatever novelty NL opponent we'll have this year I always wondered what the BFD was about Boston and after having been to those games, it's that they have a ton of fans here. ugh, i cant wait till the sox play the marlins so i can see cabrera lol jp

id actually prefer that sisco be in the bullpen instead of going to charlotte and stretching himself out to be a starter. i dont really like the other options we have from the left side. id prefer him than logan, reynoso, etc

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jan 27, 2007 -> 08:40 PM) I agree Santana is gone, but Nathan has said he will take a discount to remain a Twin for the rest of his career. Hafner will be in Cleveland for awhile too, they are commited to keeping their young core. nah, i doubt that, thats what they all say, how they want to end there career wit whatever team there with. im sure theres a team out there willing to give nathan 10+ mil. as far as santana, hes gone, there 0 chance of them keeping him. i agree with u about hafner, i think they will most likely keep him.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Jan 27, 2007 -> 06:26 PM) When he said: I wonder how he balances that with all the impending free agents all 3 have in the next few years. Twins lose any 2 of those 4 and they are toast. yup. im just glad that hunter, santana, nathan and hafner will more than likely be gone. minn, clev, det, there all middle-market teams and i dont think they can afford those players. if we "cant afford" our own players such as crede, dye, buehrle, garcia, etc, i have a hard time believing they can. im sure santana will be gone though, hopefully to the nl

aj, we have to keep him. i would keep buehrle as well. i dont think we keep dye, nor do i think we should. considering jd drew got 5/75(i believe), i think it will be tough to resign him. plus we have been lucky with dye, he hasnt had an serious injuries with us and hes 32 i believe.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jan 27, 2007 -> 11:35 AM) You guess? It's because you think Garland is cute, right? ha. actually i dont really like garland, never really have. is he "cute" yea, i guess you can say that i dont know i guess its because hes never really made himself too fan-friendly.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 27, 2007 -> 11:19 AM) Contreras was the Sox' best starter last year I don't see why he wouldn't start opening day over Garland who was pretty average last season. he had a strectch of games in which he was real bad, garland did win 18 games again, but i guess it should be contreras.

QUOTE(shoota @ Jan 27, 2007 -> 10:53 AM) Another childish, a mi manera move by Guillen. Buehrle's been our opening day starter for what, 5 years, and now Guillen doesn't want him to start because he may not resign? i dont think thats the case...plain and simple, buehrle doesnt deserve to be the opening day starter, yea garland should start over contreras...but it shouldnt be buehrle

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jan 27, 2007 -> 10:32 AM) According to Levine the Sox offered Buehrle a 3yr $31 deal last July and it was turned down. ..ozzie said that contreras would be his opening day starter, i thought it would be garland...

its too bad that a lot of the players that leave the sox have to leave on a negative note, lee, maggs, frank, and so on. >ozzies going to do an interview right now with bruce...

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 27, 2006 -> 04:19 PM) Michael Young isn't much of a SS right now and will only get worse with time, I really don't see him as being a long term solution at SS for the Sox so if they did go out and sign him after this season (which I really don't see happening) they'd still need to find someone to play SS while Young takes over for Iguchi at 2B. im not exactly sure how good young is at short but i know hes a great hitter and ozzie likes him a lot

QUOTE(BamaDoc @ Dec 27, 2006 -> 02:55 PM) I expect Uribe to be in shape and ready.....its a contract year! yup, hopefully he has a good year for us then its like thanks a lot for everything and let him walk. sign michael young, thats what we need to do.

where is soriano going to play if its going to be a platoon in lf with murton and floyd? i dont think soriano or jones should be playing cf and if one does, well then good luck to the cubs

the drays always ask way too damn much for their players
