QUOTE (Jeremy @ Nov 18, 2008 -> 02:15 PM) Thankfully, when I think of that team, I'm overwhelmed with these positive memories, not the thought of Everett ambling around in CF and performing unspectacularly at the plate. Stop. You're embarassing yourself.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 16, 2008 -> 03:23 PM) 4. You have to trust people. Kenny trusted people and then got burned by Wilder and his asshole companions. When you have someone who you feel has a great eye for talent and is also one of your closest friends stab you in the back, it has to be hard. Thankfully Kenny now understands that Wilder is a cocksucker and now Kenny can move on with real baseball people in place instead of liars and thieves. The impact Wilder had on Latin American scouting will probably never get the attention it deserves, and none of us know just how serious that impact was. All I know is that the Sox went from finding guys like Maggs and Carlos Lee to signing Paulo Orlando and Juan Silverio. Talk about a drop-off. Definitely. I hope Wilder and his cohorts rot in prison.

I wouldn't mind seeing a rotation of Buehrle, Floyd, Danks, Garcia and Colon with Richard as a spot starter.

QUOTE (Cubano @ Nov 11, 2008 -> 12:35 PM) I heard or read than one before. President Carter and presidente Clinton tried to have normal relations but the cuban taliban always find a way to do something to prevent a good relationship. He dos not want a good relation because he coulod not blame anybody for his own crap. Now, he blames USA for everything. Actualy, this is a norm around the world. I said: Let the world kill each other and when somebody cry for help or do something USA do nothing. If USA does something we are bad. If USA does nothing, USA is bad. Hell with Europe, Middle East, Latin America, Asia and anybody inside or outside The Milky Way. Drill, Baby, Drill! Watch out for inflation down the road. We do not drill and at the same time we are pumping billions $$$$$$$ into the system. Obama 4 and out! I know I may catch hell from some of you Chicagoans and Sox fans, but that is OK. You won't catch any hell from me, Cubano.

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 8, 2008 -> 08:02 AM) Give me all the Cubans you got.What Cubans that have made it over here have failed?I know there isnt alot to judge on but Iam pretty convinced they know how to play baseball and get everything they have out of their natural ability better than most American born players. I'm with you. I love the way the Cuban players approach the game.

QUOTE (zimne piwo @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 08:00 PM) How about the 2008 White Sox won more playoff games than both the 2007 AND 2008 Cubs combined? Yep. In fact, the '08 Sox won more playoff games in one day than the Cubs have won in the past two years.

Cabrera ss Pierzynski c Dye rf Thome dh Konerko 1b Griffey cf Ramirez 2b Wise lf Uribe 3b Danks p

I hope to cheer on the Sox at least eleven more times this year.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:42 PM) ha, cabrera loses all respect in my eyes for his pussy sequence with Ballfour I'll be glad when Cabrera leaves the Sox. And I hope the Sox can find a trade partner for Vazquez.

QUOTE (Cubano @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 04:43 PM) 2B/SS/CF Yosmani Guerra and pitcher Ángel Oscar Argüelles. Guerra is a contact hitter and he is very fast. he is a better 2B than SS. Ángel Oscar Argüelles is the brother of LHP Noel Argüelles who defceted this year in Canada while playing with the cuban junior team. Ángel Oscar Argüelles should be very young and according to some reports, he is very tall. Cuban players trying to sign contracts now: 3B/outfielder Dayan Viciedo one of the best prospects in cuban baseball SS Juan Carlos Moreno gold glover in Cuba LHP Noel Areguelles who throws 90 + and is tall and has long arms SS Jose Iglesias who defected in Canada too while with the junior team. He is a contact hitter and is good with the glove. Another junior pitcher defected in Canada but I forgot his name. Thanks for the report. I hope the Sox are right on top of scouting/signing these top Cuban prospects. Cuban players have been successful with the Sox from Minnie Minoso to present day with Jose, and Alexei. I like the way the Cuban players approach the game.

f*** Vazquez and the horse he rode in on. AJ is a winner. Javy is not.

Twins and Sox continue their battle for "AL's Tallest Midget".

AJ needs a rest badly. other than that Ozzie should play all of his regulars, unless Griffey needs a rest, then it should be BA in CF for his defense.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 08:57 PM) DickAllen72, fathom. Your thoughts? Speier was a favorite of some here as well too. He's been brutal this year. Thome finally came through big in a late inning tie game situation. I'm happy he did, but don't try to pull an "I told you so" on us. If he just makes contact with runners on first and third many innings ago, the Sox are home in bed resting up for tomorrow's game a long time ago.

Thome finally earns his money tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 08:38 PM) AJP clearly was swinging for the fences there. That's fine, but why not go for it on the 3-0? I agree. Maybe Ozzie gave him the red light.

That 3-1 pitch was not a strike. Anyway, this game sucks.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 08:32 PM) just hopping in, didnt get to watch most of the game but i have to say AJ is a terrible baserunner For preventing an inning ending DP?

Fields is really bad.

Maybe Fields can hit a crappy AAA pitcher.

[/color]QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 08:29 PM) Good...I swear I had a dream last night where Wood hit 2 homers against the Sox. It's early yet!

Hawk can't even keep track of the number of outs---after one batter!

Poor Thornton. He's going to wear himself out here.

This game sucks.

Wow! Nice job Thornton. He deserves to pick up a win for that.
