He didn't get to be a billionaire by giving it away.

You guys might as well "strap it down" because Crede is the thirdbaseman for the foreseeable future.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) In the words of some peoples mentor on here... IF your 2 for 4 tell me when those 2 came..and I tell you if your a quality hitter... or something to that effect! That would be ... "Don't tell me what you hit, tell me when you hit it." And yes, I agree. But Carlos has always hurt the Cubs. I hope he continues to do so.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 04:17 PM) Exactly. What does that mean anymore? Absolutely nothing. The keyword in your post is "anymore". When a guy is coming up through the system, and performs as well as Crede did, expectations are going to be high ... and you are going to talk about this kid thirdbaseman in the minors ... All I'm saying is the Crede earned the hype ... At The Time!

Carlos had 2 strikes on him, and I'm sure he was trying to foul that pitch off. He just didn't get it out of play. He's 2 for 4 today. That's not too bad.

Overhyped. A two time minor league MVP. ok

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 11:23 AM) thats true, the twins set up like that. thats bulls***. it should be Buehrle vs Mays. i guess they didnt want to get their ass beat on national t.v. > i try to be optimistic but i dont think the sox will do any better than 1-2 in this series, i can even smell a sweep if they lose today. i disagree, i think the twins have the advantage with the garland, radke matchup. yea i know buehrle pitched great against the tribe the other day but santana, hes tuff. plus for some odd reason, kyle always does good against the sox. Why is that bulls***? That's what Gardenhire should do. Ozzie flipped Contreras and Hernandez so El Duque could face the Twins. Is that bulls*** too?

Sorry you picked such a stinker to go see, aboz. Have faith. Next time will be better.

Let's kidnap Santana and make him pistol whip Nathan.

I expect Hermanson to be the main horse out of the bullpen tonight. El Duque will give us 6 to 7 innings of good pitching.

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 08:03 AM) There have been Popes from Africa. Just saying. I know JPII was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years, so I had to say that any African popes were not from recent memory.

If I recall, Bowden would not even discuss trading him in the offseason.

I hope he's healthy. I also hope he sucks when is he healthy.

Why is everyone so shocked? With all the allegations against this sick bastard, you know he had to be doing more than playing pattycake with these kids.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 01:21 PM) is that a credible source? I will not speak for the credibility of that particular source. Some of the opinions expressed are .... out there.

The Catholic Church paraded him out in front of everybody and every television camera and professional photographer had their lenses focus on the Pope's corpse. Why average people taking pictures is controversial and media organizations doing so is not is beyond me.

Simple answer. This is what anyone would expect from the Pope.

That is exactly the way I feel ..... about Ward f***ing Churchill.

Personally, I'm not into the chatroom thing. Enjoy the threads more more.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Apr 8, 2005 -> 12:51 AM) Wow am I the only one having a hard time following this thread? Why would you want to even try?

This bullpen was designed to get to Shingo in the 9th. That's exactly the way it was used. The fact that the Minnesota series is coming is probably why Ozzie used 3 pitchers in the 7th. He wanted to give all of them a little work as a tune up before the series. As it was said, after the 7th he needed 6 outs and had 3 arms available to get them, and a 3 run lead. I'd take those odds any day. "Thinking outside the box" requires thinking outside the limits of a particular ballgame, like when you have a big series coming up and want to prepare everybody as well as possible. It backfired. s*** happens.

And every player ever caught will sing the same tune, as long as MLB does not release exactly what drug came back with the positive result.

I woke up to get ready for work and checked the score, then box score of today's game. I knew someone would stupidly blame Ozzie for screwing up the because of Shingo's meltdown. It took all of nine read posts to run across it.
