They already built a bar in Logan Sq in his honor

QUOTE (kristofer @ May 30, 2009 -> 12:47 PM) sucks that he is injury prone, that is not what i want out of a back up catcher. i'll take injury prone but with ability over Corky - healthy and bad and Toby - unhealthy AND bad

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 30, 2009 -> 12:04 AM) Good, Broadway blows. I'm glad to see they got something of value for him. Im picturing the sort of excitement about Broadway here a few years ago. This sort of outcome is why I just cant bring myself to get invested in the real young guys, like most of you guys do. I'm interested and lately ive been checking Birmingham box scores, but it seems like so much energy i'm expending on a crapshoot

buh WAH ha ha ha ha

But o god they must play Wise there's this huge conspiracy against Brian Anderson

Machado translates to 'axe' in portugese, and I would one day expect him to get it - right outta whatever org he's in

For the most part good outing from Gavin, thats a good lineup he took on

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ May 26, 2009 -> 09:25 AM) Pods and BA can both be hitting .330 and Ozzie will work Wise in to take some AB's away. Anderson was 3 for 5 so it's time to bench him to slow his momentum. That will teach him to respect authority. Anderson is 2nd on the team with an OBP of .381. Thome leads the team with .387. Maybe it's time to bat Brian second for a few weeks and see what happens. Everyone always said Owens was shown all this favoritism over Anderson. When the dust cleared, Owens had about 390 major league at-bats, mostly in garbage time so to speak. Anderson meanwhile was given many more chances to prove himself, as he should b/c of his tools. There are no conspiracies. If Wise comes back and the others are rolling on all cylinders, he wont play. If they arent, he'll get his chances. How far have we come when now people will start clamoring for Pods to remain in CF. Yeesh.

I dont know how the White Sox convinced themselves this team would hit.

Carlito has lost his Way Hopefully he needs to get 100% to get it all back

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ May 24, 2009 -> 03:23 PM) MWAHAHAHAHAH. Even if we lose I'm still more upset with the offense. Three runs off that scrub Karstens is an embarrassment to the history of White Sox baseball. No exaggeration in that statement, either. We cant expect these guys to be a good offense anymore. We used to rely on the longball, this year we dont even have that as much. When we face a bad pitcher, I expect nothing to be a given now one way or the other.

Uhhhh what

QUOTE (shipps @ May 24, 2009 -> 03:13 PM) I am absolutely shocked that you are an old man. just meaning when i will be

As an old man I'll have the toughest time of all trying to explain how Nu-metal existed, as well as Scott Podsednik's baseball career.

help put it away jt

If a team is great in the present, a 27 yr old top flight starter would want to go to there. If a team is a question mark in the present, perhaps an excellent farm system would really sway the player....but anything less than a top notch farm would be kind of secondary. We're excited about Flowers and Allen here, but really there's a huge range of possibilities for guys like that. It's not a safe enough bet to make for what is potentially your final destination (at least in peak years).

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 22, 2009 -> 05:45 PM) We have a bunch of talent at AA isn't going to make Peavy hop on a plane. Said better than I couldve. The things that matter to us here are not the things that matter to this guy in his professional or personal life. Therefore it's wasted emotion to hate him for his decision. I'd rather he not make a decision he even halfway regrets.

O brother I cant take anymore, I wanted it to be one day and done. No dragging it out KW

As far as this being a selling point, I just think a lot of people here dont see how little value this holds. For a guy who is 27 and wants to finally win for once in his career, this means nothing. Plenty of teams have this. And then once he's traded for some of it, we're back to being middling plus Gordon.

Verducci's article absolutely slaps us in the face but hey, it's what we put together this offseason. I cant fight his facts.

So much bitterness. Either way we werent winning this year, and we'll use that money elsewhere. While keeping Poreda perhaps.

QUOTE (rangercal @ May 21, 2009 -> 11:03 PM) There is a difference between a top ACE and roster fillers. Right but you can add 9 or 10 wins to our year end total by either (1) adding Peavy (2) adding enough dependable bats to a roster that badly needs it Basically I just started the thread b/c of the team's multiple faces. If you're playing the kids, tell us as much. Dont tell us that payroll is maxed out if it's not. It's just weird to me b/c it's not like the Torii situation. This year we pursued pretty much no one, with good names out there. As to the point on Abreu, I think one of the aging bats couldve been moved for a guy like Figgins...but I guess we'll never know. But the larger point is the philosophy that apparently exists during trading time but snoozes when all these guys are there for the taking. In a way that leaves the farm system intact!
