QUOTE (Nokona @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 02:12 PM) I really doubt that. So then, what do you think happened there?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 01:06 AM) This game may tell us a lot about our team. Unless it gets rained out ... It's at home against a guy who has been outstanding this year in Greinke. The way we've folded against most "good" pitchers indicates we will have a s*** offensive game. After the Oz/KW flap, will we concentrate and smash the baseball? Or will Greinke pitch a 2 hitter? I hate to be negative nancy so I won't be. QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 01:35 PM) Royals 4, Sox 1 Zack dominates like so many others have against our team this year We get 4 hits. Guillen hits two bombs for Royals.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 01:34 PM) Bonds will want that money. Correct me if I'm wrong, but SF gave him around $20 million to play last season. Sure he wants it. But nobody is going to give him that anymore

Alright people, Doug Collins in one hand, Flip Saunders in the other

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 3, 2008 -> 11:01 AM) I know that was probably sarcasm, but there's no way JR/KW would pony up $22 million for 1 year for Barry, especially not at this time with all the charges. If Bonds is sitting around waiting for someone to throw him that kind of money, then he better throw his retirement party now.

I would love for Coop to get a shot at Greinke if he ever became available. If that kid was in any organization other than the Royals, I think he would be a dominant force by now. This is the time if there is any for the White Sox offense to get healthy, The Royals are coming off a pretty long losing streak. Tonite I am predicting a 4-2 White Sox victory

Is it me, or does Zambrano look like his mechanics are screwed up?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 2, 2008 -> 07:44 PM) I just saw something amazing. Twins had a guy on 3rd with 1 out, and they Delmon Young got him in with a hit the other way. Unreal. that is amazing. Delmon Young hasnt been able to do much of anything this year

Haha, finally got the Wii online. Who is down for some Mariokart wii?

http://www.redlasso.com/ClipPlayer.aspx?id...9f-0546c2b52336 Here is the last round of Kimbo vs Colossus. Decide for yourself on Thompsons face push and Kimbo's stamina. Kimbo threw a couple of haymakers that i didnt notice

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Jun 2, 2008 -> 03:37 PM) Agreed. Also, I think people are making a bit too much of the 'hitting the ref' thing. He was frustrated, it was an immediate reaction, and it was more like a disdainful push than a punch. I'm not saying it's okay to do that sort of thing, but I don't think he was thinking of hurting the ref. definitely not a punch, it was an open fingered "push the face away" type deal. There was no swinging involved, Thompson was still trying to get his bearings when it happened And to Drunkbomber, I agree with the "Colossus fighting the ref" comment, but I definitely think that Kimbo was just about done when they stopped the fight.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Jun 2, 2008 -> 02:06 PM) Roger that. Exactly my thoughts. I like the "baseball card" analogy. Here's one that my co-worker (Cub fan but baseball nut) floated: why not make Harold Baines the hitting coach? I mean, the guy could definitely HIT so it's not that crazy--or is it? Thoughts? Who knows. Some people think "Those that can, do. Those who cannot, teach". Others believe that people who are the best at hitting should be the teachers. Ultimately its up to Ozzie to decide what he wants out of his hitting coach and who he wants to be the coach

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 2, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) Huh? How is that an argument to trade Floyd for a secondbaseman, who Cooper wouldn't be coaching? Or are you saying that after you trade Floyd, you go out and do another trade, for a "cheap" pitcher? I took it as PD was taking for granted that Coop can fix pitchers, so why not sell high and buy low since he can fix others.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jun 2, 2008 -> 02:26 PM) I would agree with your logic if we didnt have a pitching coach known for turning around the careers of guys we acquired cheaply via trade. thats something you can appreciate, but you should never count on it. As soon as you start to expect Don Cooper to do that every time, you are going to start getting disappointed.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jun 2, 2008 -> 01:09 PM) I just didnt like this part : Trying to make it sound like Kimbo was too tired to continue and Colossus tried to fight the ref for unfairly ending it. I dont understand what you didnt like, thats exactly what happened

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jun 2, 2008 -> 12:41 PM) He didnt know what was going on at all. You could see it in his face, and like you said he hit the ref in the face. Kimbo, not being the most polished competitor, was throwing some punches that if he landed on a guy in a daze like he was, really could have hurt him. That fight was over. According to yahoo today it was fixed though. http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_ylt=Aned...o&type=lgns Good read

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 2, 2008 -> 11:58 AM) Unless team chemistry can improve bat speed, then who cares if they're getting along or not? Rowand would make them all get along and improve batspeed. And cure cancer and solve world hunger Cintron would be Robin to Rowands Batman

Sign Bonds, watch him go to Jail. That would be awesome

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 2, 2008 -> 08:39 AM) Ozzie could do a couple things - fire Walker, and shift the order around. The former is, at this point, probably a good idea. The latter may or may not help, but probably doesn't do a lot. As for the roster, there are actually a few small things that could be done, and that may provide a little spark. Here is what I'd do, now that Uribe is ready to come back... --Send Wise back down to AAA --DFA Ozuna --Bring back Uribe as a backup infielder, righty PH and defensive replacement (Ramirez to start 2 out of every 3 games or so) --Bring up Chris Getz, to get a lefty bat on the bench (and Getz can play basically all the positions Pablo does) --Start playing Anderson as the de facto starter in CF --Put Swisher, Thome and Konerko as a rotation at 1B/DH. Sit Thome against LHP, DH Konerko and 1B for Swisher. Against righties, mix it up, but keep Thome in. --Once one or two of those three bats comes back to life, move Swisher back to CF. --Also, if PK starts having major problems with his hand/wrist, put him on the DL for 30, and call up Eldred, and continue that rotation. So, there are actually some things that could be done that may help out the offense. They are at least worth a shot, IMO. DFAed when Uribe was activated. At least that was on the ESPN ticker

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 09:06 PM) Orton is out for awhile. They ended the match out of nowhere. Did a bump where he went for an RKO and HHH countered by throwing him over the top. Orton came right down on his shoulder. They think he broke his collar bone. Looks like its confirmed now http://rajah.com/base/node/12631

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 04:17 PM) I'll believe it when I see it. I've heard Uribe was gone twice and nothing happened, most noteably. He said the same s*** after the Blue Jays series too. Now we may change the lineup again, but the reason it worked so well last time was Quentin has been great and A.J. got hot. Another change is just shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic right now, and I doubt we'll see actual roster changes with this veteran group. Glad to see Ozzie is pissed off at least. He should be. Didnt he say he would NOT change things after the Toronto series? I dont remember him saying anything like this yet, especially not in regards to Walker losing his job

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 02:52 PM) He was certainly loopy, but considering the quality of punches Kimbo was throwing at the time and the significant leeway Kimbo was given at the end of round 2, Thompson deserved better. agreed, it was definitely favoring Kimbo

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 01:57 PM) I've personally while watching MMA have never seen a guy with a swollen ear like that period. I still don't understand why him bleeding from it would of caused the stoppage, especially while he was still coherent. To all of the MMA fans here, do you prefer the way PRIDE went about things in regards to fighter introduction, etc. or do you prefer the way the UFC does it? Concious? Yes. Coherent? Debatable. He took a couple of really good shots at the end there, he looked like he was more than a little bit loopy. He even pushed the refs face away when he was being restrained, he didnt look like he knew where he was for a second

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 01:42 PM) Reyes usually gets rocked by alot of teams! His opposing BA is .186. Maybe when they finally get to him, they get him pretty good, but he seems to be pretty stingy
