A nice idea, but where would we put him? Can he pitch?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) The guy sent an email to the show saying that he wanted to throw his radio out the window and the host suggested that he jump out of the window also because the mediocre lineup of the whitesox wont get it done. I bet this guy predicted us to be in 4th place in the AL Central. After watching Al "I am old as s***" Leiter own the bosox what does he think that Buerhle who is a younger better version of Al do to the same team. He just said "I AM A REDSOX FAN" And he predicts the Yanks and the Angels are the best teams come playoff time. WHAT A FOCKING SHOCKER I watch 85% of all the Angels games as well as the Sox - and there is no way the Sox aren't every bit as good - IF NOT BETTER. The Angels have a good lineup - but it too has been very inconsistent (and in a weak division.) Add to this the Sox rotation which is the best in baseball.... this just shows these so-called experts have not watched us play. the lineup isn't that great, on paper, but what counts is results - which we have. I think there's room for an in-depth comparison of the Sox, Angels, and Red Sox lineups (the only guaranteed teams IMO in the playoffs.). Maybe later....

The other issue about trading that's hard to get - I think (and the thing I don't get about Int'l Football) is that both teams want to come out winners. If Team A has a player under contract, they're legally bound to pay him for whatever length of time, but if they decide to get rid of him, or another team could use him - Team A trades that player and his contract to Team B for asnother player that either helps that team out, or costs significantly less (what's called a salary dump.) The system is designed to help both teams in a transaction. What I don't get in Int'l Football, is if one team buys a player from another team, then the second team just has a gaping hole there, not another player. why not have a trade from the first team?

this thread rules. people were having heart attacks wondering if KW would make any moves. Guess he made some good ones, eh?

J-O-N. (as in "short for Jonathan.") Why can't anybody ever spell his name right?

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 07:08 PM) I also love how they pointed out that the White Sox have the 2nd fewest hits in baseball... how about runs?? I think that was hits allowed.

God, I hate this song at baseball games - they should just stick to Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

the scorer gets their choice for the all-star winner if it's not clear - the 5 inning rule is lifted in the ASG. I think it will be Buehrle. why wouldn't it be?

Isn't Jon supposed to pitch the 6th?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 04:55 PM) Would it be wrong to say that Arod looks like GayRod with those white shoes? yes it would. Use another word. Don't insult our gay friends by comparing them to ARod. yes, JB won the 2000 game, but gave up a homerun.

QUOTE(wallyburger @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 06:21 AM) That debacle called a home run derby was an animated poster for Juicin' it up. No way in Hell Abreu is natural. Throw away the International contrived lineup. That thing is going the way of the Slam Dunk contest. Boring. who cares? There's nothing wrong with steroids, not that Abreu has done them. Just get off this self-righteous anti-drug jag.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 07:56 PM) Dear Fans, I want to personally thank everyone -- my friends, my family, White Sox fans, baseball fans in general, the Chicago White Sox organization and, of course, my teammates -- for showing their support for me during the past three days of online voting for the final spot on the American League All-Star Team. The response has been amazing and humbling. Being named to the All-Star Team is a dream every 10-year-old enjoys when growing up playing baseball. Thanks to your votes, I will have the opportunity to fulfill those dreams on Tuesday night in Detroit at Major League Baseball's 76th All-Star Game. It will be an experience I will never forget. Thank you. Scott Classy. He deserves it.

Way to go, guys!! Since getting booted from the other site, I have come to enjoy Soxtalk a lot. Have they ever had an on-air mention? and I was on pins and needles for Scotty - it had to have been a landslide. He deserves to be there and we came through for him! Go us!!

don't forget to vote for Scotty!!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 07:18 AM) So did Sasaki, and he was like 35 at the time. And Shingo came in second last year, I think. He finished behind Bobby Crosby, the most undeserving ROY in the history of baseball. No, that would be Ben Grieve in 1998 - of the media darling A's. Magglio totally outplayed him and should have been the ROY. Oh well...

Ha!! Look at this quote from Craig Monroe in the AP game recap: "This is tough, because we feel like we are the better team," Craig Monroe said. "But being the best team on paper doesn't mean anything. They came in here and did everything they needed to do, and that's hard to accept." btw, the Sox are 16 games ahead of the Tig's. eat it.

still at rain delay, huh? How wet did Detroit look - did they show it raining?

Regardless of outcome, this is a good outing for McCarthy - and finally a quality start.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 09:58 AM) Twinks. Some alien named Leo Nunez couldnt hold them down and they had about 6 hits in a row in the 7th or 8th. Alien. Nice. Oh, that's not racist.
