QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 12:19 AM) Same with Lucy. I'd of liked to see more info from him aside from sheerly looking at stats. That's in depth analysis for ya.

Six of those 12 games of Paulie's streak were without Frank in the line up.

After today's news on Ross, there is some renewed hope.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) I never heard that. That is really interesting. Interesting, yes. But it's probably some more of that east coast myth building crap.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 07:22 PM) I thought he only had one for Timo? Ozzie's got some side action. Timo's gonna be super pissed. I hate these kind of posts. So juvenile.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 12:38 AM) i wonder what we would all be saying and thinking about garland if the score from today was 6 - 2 dbacks heh 3 starts in a row from our pitching staff that wasnt up to white sox par... we'd be pissed and i laugh mUhahah I agree. Let's hope this is only a bump in the road and not the beginning of a trend.

C'mon people. Stop titling these threads so it reads as if it's a done deal.

If Cotts is turned into a starter this season, then things will have gone right into the crapper. He may become a starter eventually, but it would have be by design and accomplished over winter league and spring training.

Let me clarify something here. I was endorsing Carl's theories in any way, shape or form. All I was trying to say is that what is accepted as fact today may not be accepted as such tomorrow. My comments about the earth being perceived as the center of the universe are a graphic, though dated, example. The science world has always taken the approach that what they say is fact. History has taught us that science, and scientists, are not infallible. Those that look at things from outside the proverbial box have historically been labeled as nut-cases, yet from time to time these nut-cases are proven to be correct. I don't think it's correct, or smart, to label somebody as being ignorant just because they don't accept everything at face value.

Vinnie Castilla is washed up.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) My folks are sitting next to you that day. Be nice.. Yes ma'am.

QUOTE(nvxplorer @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 03:12 PM) I'm not sure what you're asking, or whether you understood my post. Yes, people used to believe the sun revolved around the earth. This has been proven false for centuries. Anyone who still believed this would indeed be ignorant. Belief is one thing. Scientific evidence another. Carl is choosing to ignore the most convincing form of evidence - existence. Fossils exist. Dinosaurs existed. We have the bones to prove they did. Since the fossil record cannot be denied, Carl chooses to invent a conspiracy theory in order to validate his religious belief. The accepted norm is irrelevant. Facts are not dependent on opinion. Some things are simply not open for debate. I am right handed regardless of what anyone else says, thinks or believes. Fossils have been found all over the world, by hundreds of scientists, for over a century. The findings have been meticulously documented and verified by hundreds of other scientists. Claiming it's all a giant conspiracy is beyond ignorance; it's childlike. Abortion is irrelevant as well. Abortion is an action, a procedure. Any action is open to debate - from wearing seatbelts to alcohol use to abortion. Evidence is subject to interpretation, but it cannot be denied. Carl is manipulating his own mind by saying an entire field of science is fraudulant. Perhaps naive is a better word than ignorant, but Carl is obviously ignorant of the field of paleontology, or he wouldn't make the statements he does. My point is simple. Scientific fact is not the be all, end all that it's cracked up to be. Those "facts" change over time.

You know, that "drag queen" idea would work, with a little tweaking. Get a dozen HOT young scantilly clad young ladies to drag the infield and call them "The Drag Queens".

I'm sorry, but the best White Sox promotion of all time was the exploding scoreboard.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 02:59 PM) Eh.. it's OK. I just fear it's gonna turn real bad soon. BTW.. you have seats 1&2 for Sunday's Sox/Cubs game right..? Affirmative.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 02:54 PM) This thread is making my head hurt.. Sorry Steff.

QUOTE(nvxplorer @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) I agree many or most fans are plenty ignorant. I just find it ironic that Carl, obviously ignorant of science, has the nerve to call anyone ignorant. Saying fossils are fake/propaganda is laughable. He's entitled to his beliefs, but such "thinking" is...well...the epitome of ignorance. Why is that? Because it's not the accepted norm? Because it varies from what the majority of society believe is fact? What if the majority of socierty believed that abortion was wrong? Would that make anyone that believed otherwise "ignorant"? Once upon a time, the majority of society believed the earth was the center of the universe. They believed that sun and stars revolved around the earth. The ones that observed the movement of the stars and planets and calculated that the earth wasn't the center of the universe, were they ignorant?

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 10:55 AM) Actually, the White Sox signed both AJ and Dustin after Kevin Walker. So your point is lost. He was called up after they were established with the Sox. Point was not lost.

QUOTE(103 mph screwball @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 10:42 AM) AJ and Hermie can give a good scouting report. I trust them if they think he can improve. That worked well with Kevin Walker. :rolly

Tonight, we'll see just how much Garland has advanced. We need Jon to be a stopper tonight, and that takes a special type of pitcher to fill those shoes.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 08:34 AM) More Info more at link That was an entertaining read!

QUOTE(skidoochic @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 08:05 AM) That is a wonderful story. Those kids went through a lot this year and I am proud to say I am a fan of the White Sox when they go out of their way for the community including Cliff Politte and Chris Widger's trip to Utica this year. Way to go Sox! Kinda makes ya feel all warm and fuzzy inside. *sniff*

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 08:24 AM) Hmm I wonder where they all ran away to? Also, Gload is done for the year, I get the feeling. I've had a nagging feeling that would be the case.

I can't think of a more deserving candidate. Congrats!
