what will they do when the sox and cubs play at the same time or almost the same time. are the cubs still with wgn?

QUOTE(quickman @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 06:07 PM) Melissa, Dave did not leave because he couldn't critisize the sox. he left to do play by play which he once did for the Kane County Cougars. Its what he wants to do. Play by play in the MLB is a big deal. Pre and post game host is not quite as big. sorry..i guess i must have heard wrong. it didnt sound true. i remember him critisizing the sox a lot (jon garland) when they deserved it. he said it how it was. im just saying....i would love to see carmen get the job, someone with white sox pride

QUOTE(ChiSoxFan @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 05:48 PM) Mariotti left ESPN radio because they got tired of him bashing the Bulls & the Sox all the time. It's kinda hard to market the teams whose games you're carrying when some dips*** assclown continues to badmouth them. And again, I don't think Wills left because he couldn't criticize them. I think he wanted a shot at a play-by-play job and the D-Rays obliged. i dont know...thats what i heard..

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 05:44 PM) ....that's a big mistake, especially if you knew he was the bench coach...LOL i konw. it was a dumb mistake. i was getting a bit distracted talking to my friend..my bad. anyways, its because i havnt heard anything about any replacements for harold, have you's?

chill! i made a mistake. im not that dumb, i know harolds a bench coach, my bad. as yous may have noticed the thread is called: harold, bench coach? sorry

Hey....i thought harold baines didnt want to be the bench coach anymore, whats up with that? will he still be the bench coach? he said he wasnt the right fit for the job...

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 05:29 PM) Ugh, no way. Dave seemed like a part of the team to me somewhat like Hawk seems that way, I enjoyed listening to Dave's pre and post games, I like Carmen also but no way would I take him over Dave for that job. yea, i guess.. its dissapointing how guys like Mariotti and dave are switching jobs because they feel they cant critisize the sox. also :banghead stone with the cubs would u like to see carmen get the job though?

people mention stone as a replacement......no thanx. i dont want a cub fan doing the white sox pre and post.

a lot of people were upset because Jeremy Reed was traded to seattle for Freddy. i have no problem with that. we have a whole bunch of of's.(pods,aaron,dye,everett,timo,anderson,sweeney,young...) u can always find a solid of. pitchers dont grow on trees. ....kudos to ozzie for helping out with getting freddy and the long term deal. im excited with anderson, sweeney,Fields, and mcCarthy the most. hopefully they arent busts. :headshake

jeez, sorry. next time i will be more careful with my jokes

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) 87% of you show where your true allegience lies... You don't care if the sox win, so long as the cubs lose. -- That's just sad. your so right i definatley rather see mags vs the sox 6 times with the cubs than 19 with the tigers.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 04:28 PM) Can he say the line "Sox baseball, NEEEEEEXXXXXXXTTTT!!" Just like Wills did? maybe...if i could chose between having carmen or dave next yr, i would take carmen in a heart beat.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) Meh. His die-hard act got real old after a couple seasons. Good luck in TB. ...and c'mon Melissa. This has NOTHING to do with $$. Its a stepping-stone, its a career move. Money? Please. sorry, it was just a joke

i remember the sox were after this guy....it will be interesting to see who will have a better yr., iguchi or nakamura.

i remember carmen and silvy would talk about it sometimes, but carmen didnt think he would become that because dave was already doing it.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 04:17 PM) I think that is a no brainer. I think the job is his if he wants it. That is the first name that came to my mind after I heard about Wills. yea, i love Carmen. i just hope he isnt to busy with the bulls and the other radio shows he does. i just want someone that has passion for the sox. i dont want to get someone that isnt a sox fan, that is just a baseball fan. lets get Carmen!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) sort of a random topic. dont you think??? i guess. im just thrilled for spring training and the regular season, i was thinking about last season and i remembered bobby killed us. plus, because all the Magglio talk.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 04:08 PM) They would cut him. They have monroe and logan as their fourth and fifth outfielders. if they were smart they would keep him because he would be an asset when playing the sox

how about Carmen Dafelco? i think he would do great as the pre and post game for the sox. hes a huge sox fan. i remember he did some games befor. he would like to do it too. i think the only thing in the way is that he does the bulls pre and post. so how bout Carmen?

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) The Tigers may cut Higginson if they manage to sign Magglio. i dont thik so. he is getting paid like 10 mil, so they wouldnt. plus hes a FA after this yr. i heard he would do some dh'ing and platooning. they cant wait to get rid of him. there are no takers at all for him.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 12:25 PM) He's going from pre-game and post-game studio host to a f***ing radio play-by-play man. Wouldn't you do the same if you were in a position to achieve one of your dreams? not for the devil rays! u know that if he would be getting the same amount of money he would stay though. i was just joking about the money thing and maggs though :headshake

how can he just leave us like that? the d-rays? c'mon! :banghead i bet u its because the money, just like with maggs. i really liked dave. maybe hes sick of the sox underachieving?

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 12:01 PM) Welcome to Sox Talk thanx. you do remember higginsox killed us though, right?

ozzie and coop should work with the sox pitchers in spring training and go over some scouting reports on higginson or some tapes. man, he kicked the sox's ass last yr. like half his homers and rbi's came from the sox! shoot, our pitchers even started pitching around him! didnt he reached base like 5-7 times in a row vs. us? the sox pitchers need to give a better effort and try to get him out. theres no excuse, if all the other teams can get him out, so can we. we need to get bobby out! :banghead

im just hoping and praying that McCarthy and Honel arenta busts like our other highly toughted pitching prospects(diaz,rauch...) also that anderson and sweeney arent busts like joe borchard
