Uribe should have just lost his starting job for a while. Pathetic.

f***in' McCarthy.

Uribe needs to take a week off. It wouldn't hurt him to lose ten pounds, either.

I side 100% with KW in the Frank Vs. Kenny matters, but I would love to see Kenny down on the field tonight leading a tribute to Frank.

QUOTE(hi8is @ May 16, 2006 -> 09:56 PM) bmac... other then those 2 ABs going back to back, he looked pretty freakin solid! Meh...

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 8, 2006 -> 08:44 PM) The hard part of that is that Brandon made 2 appearances (Sat and Sunday) and we may be pushing him too soon. I think the last thing Ozzie wants to do (and I realize this is being extremely careful) is to either rush Brandon (and have a guy who is going to be counted upon heavily in our pen) or rush Jose (a guy that is being looked upon to be an ace). If Jose is 100% tomorrow, he pitches (I'm talking in terms of his back), anything less and I think the Sox just let him miss two starts and be extra careful. That's how I see it too.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 8, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) Haha so after all this, it's not even a sure thing that Haegar will get the call, or that Count will go on the DL, or that Count will even miss a start. And worse case senario is he goes on the DL and misses 2 starts. Wonderful, I love the internet and talk radio, just a BIT too over reactive. The way I read the Tribune article, it looks pretty certain he will miss his next start, but it's uncertain whether he goes on the DL or not. If he does, it'll probably be Haeger starting. If he doesn't go on the DL, they'll probably try to start McCarthy Wednesday and have Jose back for his next start. Best case scenario, he feels 100% tomorrow and starts Wednesday, but that seems unlikely.

QUOTE(bulokis @ May 7, 2006 -> 07:38 PM) Man Im gonna miss White sox baseball bcoz Im going back home in the Philippines for 3 weeks. But I'll be checking the site everyday of course. What part of the Philippines are you from?

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 09:28 PM) i wonder if we can trade freddy for grady sizemore ...Or for Vernon Wells, or Torii Hunter...

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 08:14 AM) Unlike many, I am not concerned with the bullpen. However, our lack success on the basepaths has me worried. It almost appears teams steal at will against us but lately when our guys attempt a steal, they are nearly always thrown out. The case in point was last night. The Sox had the momentum after Pablo singled after the home run, but lost it getting thrown out stealing. Then, Betancourt's steal in the 11th led to their winning run. I can accept losing a game on the basepaths, but it appears somewhat of a chronic problem now. Even Pods has been caught the last three times. Would it help putting Tim back as first base coach? SFF I agree 100% with everything you wrote.

First of all, Cowley is ... well,...Cowley. Second of all, there is no bad blood between Carl and A.J. If you remember, Carl said he thought that AJ would be the White Sox leader this year. I also read on another forum that Carl and A.J. hung out and had a few beers together after the White House ceremony. By all accounts, Carl was a good citizen during all his time with the Sox and appeared to be well liked by his teammates. I don't remember reading of anyone refusing his invitation when he treated the whole team to a first class steak dinner last season. Carl always appeared to be having fun in the dugout last season and looked like he was keeping everyone else loose with his humor. He also was always the first one up on the top step of the dugout sticking up for his teammates when necessary. Remember the incident with Crede during the World series for example. Carl was a leader and an important part of the World series Championship. For that, he has my thanks and respect.

They said on Tribune Live that Dye took himself out of the lineup tonight because he can't hit Moyer. I wonder if Ozzie will give Gload a start in RF.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 09:56 AM) Dude. Most people on this board have said specifically they feel badly about DLee, and anything negative they said (most people) is that its good we don't have to face him, which is a complement. If you want to see some serious anti-Cub sentiments, go over to WSI. Most of the posters on WSI have also said they feel badly about DLee's injury. White Sox fans have class.

Shingo certainly will receive a ring and he deserves to be presented with his ring personally. If it means Hemond flies to Japan, then that's what should happen. I have nothing but good feelings for Shingo.

QUOTE(Sox1422 @ Apr 17, 2006 -> 09:31 AM) Just said that JR told KW that AJ, Crede, Freddy, and Cotts need to get haircuts. He said JR "doesn't want to be like the Yankees, but he doesn't want to be the Red Sox either". Good.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 05:45 PM) I missed the game while I was at the cubs game today, but can someone correct me if I'm wrong saying that our team needs a solid slap in the face to get on track Was that the 2005 White Sox wearing Cubs uniforms playing at Wrigley today?

QUOTE(Brian @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 04:10 PM) One thing that bothers me is that there seems to be no, what's the word, chemistry yet. Things just seemed to flow last year and so far thius year, everything is a struggle. It is hard to put into words what I mean, so hope everyong gets my point. That's what Carl Everett said could happen.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) Cintron is exactly that -- depth. Iguchi is our fourth best hitter after Thome, Konerko, and Dye and should not be losing too many AB's to Cintron. But Tad should still keep his mouth shut if Ozzie does choose to bench him. Tad said "No comment." Cowley is a troublemaker, and Ozzie took the bait.

This better not be an April Fool's joke. Contreras @ 29M for three years is a STEAL in today's market. Contreras has a shot at the Cy Young award if he continues to pitch as he is able.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Mar 31, 2006 -> 09:48 PM) I miss Jurassic Carl. Carl helped us win a World Series.

I wish Shingo could be there--I'm sure he's getting a ring. It'd be nice to see Carl and Willie there as well.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Mar 28, 2006 -> 10:15 PM) If Podsednik's groin bothers him this season, he should not even try to steal bases. We already saw it last season. He can still get on base but he's an easy caught stealing with a nagging groin. Agreed. That sure takes the spark out of our offense, however.
