QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 20, 2009 -> 07:41 PM) do you think Wise even cares? I mean...did you see the pitch he swung at? I agree Wise should be in AAA, but at the same time - i believe his big HR last year was low and inside. He swings at that pitch. It's not that he doesnt care - just isnt good.

Met Shawn Marion after the game today, out at Moe's Cantina. Seems like a real nice guy, posed for photos etc

Do you guys magically get along great w/ Cubs fans over Bears season, or does the divide still remain as fierce

At his peak I dont know if Carlos wouldve netted a ton. He's never shook the injury thing, and he's a corner guy. I think the best bet with Carlos in the long run is stick with him, and hope he takes a Floyd type deal soon (especially with his injury history i think he will). I think he could come cheap now. Waiting for him to be healthy for a full year is just as likely as waiting for a guy we get in a trade to perform. Also, these are not the same injuries over and over again....are they?

If this team wanted to trade Dye (while still being in contention).... they could at the very least argue it as a positive in-the-now if you have CQ. You can tell the populace that Pods is hitting well and has to be a corner outfielder. However, with CQ not available...any Dye trade will be seen as 100% Flag as opposed to maybe 60%

Harden for Dotel would kind of help as each team can deal from a slight surplus into a need. But I think in the end the Sox will make one trade for youth if we're good for a sec here....and several trades for youth if we're swept or near swept a few times in a row.

Caballo. Lovable guy but perhaps a little lacking in the championship level killer instinct.

That hell yeah was the funniest thing, obviously in context of who the guy is

Ah, magglio. simpler times. I never really took to hating him as much as some Sox fans have. If I consider my own organization to be kind of dunderheaded, I cant really take offense when a player feels the same way.

"Willie Hairs got the bead" Damnit i was ready for new baseball. Jared playing tonight?

This is probably the moment when Billy Koch comes in and turns around his career

This is some very hardcore rap right here. EDIT: wow, we really did get the parting shot there.

So far Big Hurt and Melton neck and neck for most tongue twisting on air

Seeing as how my thread was started in the morning, hopefully it's an indicator that my sources are indeed legit. My East and West coast sources, as well as all in between.

This is a silly enough question but I know some people who love beer like me will chime in. The expensive ticket I bought directly from cubs-- that helps them get free agents with my $. But at least i'm going and cheering my team and trying to bring some kind of positive pro-sox atmosphere to the game. But if I buy anything from concessions, i'm just pointlessly padding the team's ability to afford free agents. Granted i'm just one person, but if every sox fan buys stuff there, it helps them financially in their busiest midweek early game series. Should i abstain?

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jun 16, 2009 -> 11:13 AM) Our opponents in the ALC will win games no matter what. What better team to get those wins against than the Cubs? I don't feel like I'm cheering against the Sox if I want the Twins to beat the Cubs. It does affect the Sox, but not enough that I want to see those Cub fans' smiling faces. I also enjoy watching AL teams smash NL teams. You will still feel this same way if it's tied at the end of the year between say Minnesota and Chicago..and it goes to a 163rd game? The Cubs fans i know love it that the Sox fanbase lets the popularity thing get to them. You are offended by their sheer numbers and it overheats you. What they dont like is when you take the fanbase out of it. Completely out of it. You just compare rings and they dont have any. But you empower them to do their thing in yr face when you make them the hated. The Cubs fan should have the inferiority complex, b/c of the lack of rings. Yet sox fans hating cub nation (despite their lack of success) makes it seem like we have the pointless inferiority complex. It's playing right into their mystique narrative bulls***.

Also i dont see how option 2 can outnumber option 3

I root against the Cubs, for those who do the all-out hate thing.....is it more rooted in a dislike of their fans?

God I hope not. Who's he going up against? Will voters actually vote for him saying there was no hard evidence against him? I would think when he's up, bad press will surround his eligibility and perhaps drive votes away. No one recently link to roids is in, right?

It's not just 'you shouldntve booed contreras' you should not boo any white sox player. it's totally pointless. either does nothing or hurts, but surely cant help.

Darn it i finally turn it on and he flies out. Looks like it was a great day at the plate.

That Zito contract is like one of the all time worst things to even think about. He wasnt even that good when he signed it.

Ahhh....

Probably not thread worthy but it's an offday so I'll give it a try. If Wednesday's game is rained out, would it for sure be played Thurs night? Or because of travel needs would the game be more likely to be postponed? I guess it's a weird situation in that a makeup game would only necessitate the teams both be at home on a given day. Need to be able to inform my boss today, hopefully someone can reassure me real quick - thanks
