QUOTE (VAfan @ Jun 13, 2008 -> 10:46 PM) I haven't seen a single response on here defend Pablo Ozuna. It seems to me that you have to do so, or come up with some alternative that's better than Josh Fields as his replacement. There is a place for Josh Fields in this lineup 3-4 games a week, or as a pinch hitter for interleague road games. He'd offer something that Pablo Ozuna cannot: better hitting, much better power, better defense at 3B. My defense is that if you DFA Ozuna then you have a weak bench in regards to the middle infield. Uribe has already been on the DL once, if something were to happen again then there would be no rest for Ramirez and Cabrera. And god forbid something should happen to either of those two, then there are truly no options for the middle infield. Pablo Ozuna has too much versatility to just dump for a guy who can play 3rd and maybe 1st.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 13, 2008 -> 10:54 PM) Just say no to Lofton. Go with what we have or look elsewhere. Anderson really isn't a bad option if Swish continues to struggle. Swish has cooled off again. One for his last 12 after going 8 for 14 vs. Minn's s***ty pitchers. Isnt this what the entire team did?

is it me or does it seem like every time an athlete is pulled over he is driving on a suspended license?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 11:05 AM) Quick 123 first inning for Roberts. I dunno, I actually prefer Alexei in the 2 hole to Anderson on these days the way they're both hitting, and I like Anderson. Rogers?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 11, 2008 -> 01:17 PM) Trying awful hard to remake this team, aren't you? Its broken. And needs to be fixed with multiple posts.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 11:10 PM) http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-b...p&type=lgns I have a hard time believing the source, as Donaghy is a bad guy and a convicted felon. However, when you consider the series being referred to here, it's hard not to believe him. Game 6 between LA and Sacramento in 2002 was the most obvious looking fix I've ever seen in major American sports, and it's not even close to whatever game i'd put in 2nd place on that dubious list. And the other series mentioned, Dallas/Houston in 2005, had some AWFUL officiating as well. This would be easy to lie about for Donaghy as people have suspected stuff like this in the NBA since the frozen/bent envelope gave the Knicks Patrick Ewing, but the series referred to in this story were fishy looking at the time to say the least. Already convicted? I thought the case hasnt even started yet? I agree that he is a bad source, but right now he is the only source. I still remember Mike Bibby taking an Kobe elbow to the face and getting a foul called on him

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 10:19 AM) Was I jaded during the Bulls dynasty? Did he cry about refs this much back then? Am I missing something? Oh yeah he did. Thats Phils deal, he cries about the refs all the time, he did it when the Bulls had him definitely. He was called out for it repeatedly when the Hack a shaq defense came to be, because of how hypocritical it was of him to foul the other teams best player and complain about his own best player getting fouled.

QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 04:41 AM) I agree with your answer, but the Sox offense was a big aide to him putting together a decent game. We left 40 runners on base in the first three innings. I cannot disagree with that either

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 07:38 AM) Actually, the Sun Times (and most other major papers) are currently under huge pressure to cut costs. If the ST thinks they can bring in readers with the rest of their sports team just as well as with Mariotti, then his high salary makes it that much more likely that they can his ass. Mariotti is just auditioning for the New York Post. Hopefully they can his ass sooner rather than later

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 09:20 PM) Who's worse, Zito or Willis? Willis by far. Zito can still put together a decent game (see: White Sox). Dontrelle has totally lost it. He cannot throw a strike to save his life.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 08:38 PM) Yeah, we'll just trade Danks and hope Coop can work his magic on a washed up Loiaza. What a moron. we trade the up and coming Danks for the disaster that is Ian Kennedy. Makes perfect sense.

QUOTE (gosox41 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 08:20 PM) I wonder what pix Marriotti has of his editor where the editor lets Jay Mo rip on fellow colleagues but not vice versa. im pretty sure he makes the most money there, therefore he gets to stomp his foot and do what he wants. and he abuses it

Mariotti isnt going to let this one die. I bet he harps on this until either Telander or Mariotti leaves town.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 03:11 PM) Maybe Travis Henry? I dont want my team to be paying his child support checks

I cant even remember the last time I felt that this offense could come back at any time. What a great comeback win, Swisher is really snapping out of his funk. Konerko might not look good every at bat, but he certainly looked good in the one at bat that counted

QUOTE (The Beast @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 02:25 PM) Fair enough, I just think that some sort of position should have been given to the greatest player who ever lived. That's all. A meet and greet face position would be perfect for Jordan. Im very glad that he wasnt able to do anything to the Bulls similar to what he did with the Wizards. Someone wrote a book on his time with the Wizards, talked about how much he hated the business aspect of his job, being at a desk, actually working. He just wanted to hang out for a bit and flash his smile and leave on a jet. Any way you spin it, Jerry Krause totally messed up the dismantling of the dynasty. He got little to no worth out of the players who helped him win, his drafts were absolutely atrocious, and the after effect scared off free agents for years.

QUOTE (The Beast @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 01:47 PM) I don't miss that fat bastard. He really screwed up things back in the day when he tore apart the team and then the Bulls suffered for a long time. Personally, I think the Bulls screwed themselves by not offering Jordan a position in the organization and perhaps taking over as a coach. Although, it does make me wonder why Paxon didn't consider Stacey King or Scottie Pippen for the coaching position. Probably just like Collins, JR didn't want to "risk a friendship" with either of them. This would have been the worst possible scenario. Jordan is no coach, nor is he a person who can sit behind a desk. He either wants to play, or be a playboy. I agree that the way the dynasty was broken up was terrible, but offering all of the ex players positions isnt the answer.

Im gonna wait until the ink is dry before I believe this one......

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 11:24 AM) I saw it yesterday and I'm cutting it some slack – probably more than I should – out of sentimentality. Certainly the last half-hour was way over the top, predictable, pretty bad etc., and it was more like than an Indy movie. But I thought the film looked like a Indy film should, moreso even than Last Crusade. last Crusade is still my least favorite of all of them, including the new one. I'll forgive most of the beyond-belief excesses of the action sequences with the exception of Everything else for me fell within the realm of suspendable disbelief for the sake of letting the story flow. I thought that they did handle the updating to the more contemporary setting well, maybe a tad heavy-handed with the McCarthy era red scare stuff and the nuclear age/Cold war imagery, but the whole franchise is modeled after pulp fiction/Saturday matinee storytelling as it is, so subtlety isn't to be expected. Not a great film, but not as bad as I figured it was going to be when I first heard they were doing a new film which I thought was a bad idea after so many years and after Last Crusde being as inferior as it was. Thats interesting to me that you find The Last Crusade to be the worst. Most of my friends find Temple of Doom to be the worst. I dont know, I appreciate them all in a different way(keep in mind I havent seen the new one yet). Raiders of the Lost Ark is more of a drama, thr Temple of Doom is more light hearted and fun, and the Last Crusade actually gives a little background on Indy and what he is about and why. I like them all, i hope I like the new one.

Marcus Robinson retired as a member of the Bears today. Thats a pretty cool gesture http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3433703

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 07:51 AM) mike scioscia Why is this in green? Scioscia is a pretty good manager

Wow, Navarro was a complete douchebag about that. I can imagine Garza getting pissed when his catcher is face-bumping him with his mask on http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=280608113
