YASNY

I think the plan is to replace Sweeney with Young.

QUOTE(lord chas @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 10:23 PM) bring up borchard now I've been thinking that for a couple of weeks. Mentioned it to southsider and chisoxfn at the game Saturday.

More than anything else, I miss the Italian beef-sausage combos.

Tank, your alarm clock should be going off any second, now.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8931552/ The ball is now firmly in the PA's court. The PA will not stop until there is no Isreal in the middle east.

SoxFan1, You're stressed now because of your family situation, I'm guessing. You will soon enough adapt to that and cope with it. As far as school goes, it sounds to me like you have the right attitude. Set your goals high and work your ass off now. This will not only develop a foundation of hard work and dedication, but will also make it much easier to achieve those, or any other, goals in later years. Hang in there kid. You'll do just fine. Good luck.

And you guys say Timo isn't clutch. Here he comes up with something for the team to rally around just when they need it most.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) If, and only if, Jose playes like this the rest of the way. And it would still be a toss up. I just don't trust him in a big pressure situation. Yep. Yesterday's game was the epitome on a no pressure outing.

Regardless of whether or not the Sox win this stupid poll, they are not more popular in Chicago than the Cubs, to say nothing of the Bears.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 10:38 AM) theres no doubt in my mind that the bears should win that poll. This town LOVES the bears. It's a Bears town first and foremost.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) Yeah, I worked at an oil changing place, not something I liked. But that's all he'll probably be doing his whole life. Whereas I want to go to school and have a career. Maybe, after you finish your education, you'll be his boss somewhere down the road. Wouldn't that be ironic?

Their thinking is probably due to fact that Buehrle is the oonly lefty in our starting rotation.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 07:26 AM) If the Twins are blocking, who are they blocking Soriano from? I'd doubt they would care enough to block a move to the NL. I've also read Soriano has refused to play the OF so lets look at second base. Here are the AL teams above the Twinks in the standings: Chicago Boston Los Angeles Oakland New York Cleveland and their 2B Starters are Iguchi Graffanino Adam Kennedy Scutaro Canu Belliard All of the above.

QUOTE(WSNS-TV44 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:33 AM) Brendly,why is he in Chicago.When I saw him doing a game,all he talks about is "when I was the manager of the D-Backs....." Good god,man!If he fondly remember that so much,why is he here? Not intended to be a smart-ass remark but, Who cares?

Kudos to the Reds organization for handling a dicey and difficult situation with class and compassion.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) I think there is a real difference between sharing a trade rumor, a rumor about a guy being signed as a free agent, or a guy getting promoted from AA to AAA than to say someone has tested positive for steroids - a fact that, as far as I know, is about as tightly guarded a secret there is in MLB. The same would be true if someone was spreading a rumor that someone was using cocaine, has beaten their girlfriend, etc. And, as the owner of this site, you should know that you might have some legal exposure as well for allowing those types of rumor to be spread. How about you stop worrying about Soxtalk's potential legal problems? It would also be appreciated if you would lay off people who try and contribute information to Soxtalk that may not be out there in the main stream media. Sometimes, this type of info is correct and sometimes it's not. That's the nature of the beast.

Whew. We needed this one. I'm glad we chucked that monkey off our backs beefore heading to Minnesota. We need to go up there and burst that little balloon of hope they've had recently.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 01:34 AM) My favorite Yankee I cannot comprehend a scenario where I'd even consider uttering this phrase.

No thanks on Nevin.

There's some filtering going on alright. FoxNews is the highest rated cable news channel so the audience is filtering themselves in that direct vs. CNN, MSNBC and whatnot. They also seem to be filtering themselves on political talk radio. Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Riley, Reagan, etc. are all over the AM dial. They are there because they get good ratings. They get good ratings because people choose to listen to them.

QUOTE(palesox38 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 11:08 PM) Konerko, Rowand, Buehrle, Pierzynski- one of them should be the cap. One of those four. I agree.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 11:28 PM) I just want us to play good ball. We must play good ball or we are screwed in the postseason. I know ... how simplistic and dumb. I only care about our team. I want us to stay sharp, play good baseball. We're only going to go as far as our pitching and D takes us. Our lineup is spotty folks. simplistic and smart

QUOTE(AirScott @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 01:39 AM) read this quote from McCarver: "'Where would you put Junior?" McCarver asked. "He can't play defense like [Aaron] Rowand. And how long would you have to pay him? That would be an expensive deal.'" what do you think the odds are he called Aaron Rowand "Eric Rowand" and they added the "[Aaron]" so he doesn't look like a fool, like when he calls Bronson Arroyo "Brandon"? He probably just called him "Rowand".

From Rush: Show me where he said this, Balta.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) So many... try EVERYONE at one time or another. Please... No one here is innocent of the hypocrite label. Let me rephrase that ... So often........
