QUOTE(RME JICO @ Aug 10, 2007 -> 08:46 AM) OK, it is just odd that only one source has been reporting it for so long without anyone else picking it up. Maybe that will happen today. Waiver claims never seem to get as much attention because so much has to happen for a trade to be completed. I think the newspapers and AP would rather wait and report on a trade rather than report every waiver claim(apparently there are a lot of them)

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 10, 2007 -> 12:07 AM) Whoa, whoa, whoa, apparently I've missed a lot. What is wrong with Soriano? Pods is a Cub? You missed Soriano pulling his quad running around 2nd base on a single the other day? He is out for 4 weeks, and now Ramirez is out for an undisclosed amount of time as well because his wrist is really bothering him.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 03:13 PM) If they steal stories, who's to say they don't steal stories from the sites who continually get it wrong? Besides, why not go to the source, who actually do all the legwork on these stories? This is like you saying I should buy a ESPN insider subscription because you dont like that I heard the rumor on benmaller.com attributed to Peter Gammons. Who cares who did the legwork, why should I have to pay for a freaking rumor when someone else is going to tell me for free? most of wrestling nowadays is about rumors, whether they end up being true or untrue, exciting the masses. Thats what I think is the fun part about it, reading all of your opinions and theories on feuds, storylines, and wrestlers. i dont agree with some of them (cough*shadows, brian, Randy orton*cough ) ), but I still read every bit of it. I dont see what the big deal is about where you heard your rumor. Wait a sec, do you work in the PWInsider sales dept?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 05:09 PM) Cal Ripken did it. So you are saying there is a chance!

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 03:09 PM) It's a fun story for the Jerry haters to tell, but it's bulls***. LOL, I was going to reply to that statement, but I thought to myself "Steff's got this one for sure"

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 08:19 AM) Haha, you're on. And I just saw The Prestige last night--wow. I figured out what was going on pretty early in the movie, but still, what a mind trip. David Bowies character is awesome.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 9, 2007 -> 10:42 AM) Otherwise known as he doesnt know the rules of the game. "What the hell was Ozzie thinking, Rules of the Game as told by WSF101, Novella number 1: Listen to me, Im right" Its gonna hit the shelves soon

So the Cubs are going for the former Twins outfield. Maybe next year they will sign Torii Hunter and have all three guys

I like the bad blood between the Jays and Yankees. Its nice to see something like that in the AL East that doesnt have to do with the BoSox and Yankees.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 11:36 PM) Good point, I'm sorry I forgot to put it in my post. WHY did he let Erstad hit with Thome still available?!?! So stupid, thank GOD we won this time at least. And good call Steve Stone. Go ahead and flame my post, drones. We won, so Ozzie is great!! Uhh.... He couldnt PH for Erstad, or else Thome would have to play first, because Konerko was the DH. So he was going to have thome hit for Gonzalez and probably sub richar in the game, but thome never got to the plate

LOL, Josh Mora just had one of the worst post game interviews with Juan Uribe. Uribe knows 2 phrases. "I try to win da game for da team", and "I just try to win the game. that was good for me"

QUOTE(shoota @ Aug 8, 2007 -> 07:18 PM) This type of thinking is flawed because hitters are challenged by a pitcher trying to prevent them from getting hits, while there is no such obstacle for a manager--he is free to make field decisions as he desires. And this type of thinking is flawed because the manager has no control over the players execution of any called action

Did WhiteSoxFan101 author all 80 billion volumes of "What the hell was Ozzie doing?" Just curious

First he calls out his team for lack of effort against the White Sox a week or so ago, now this http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/base...s.ap/index.html WOW

Trips going a little too fast for his opponent (pretty sure that Shawn Micheals) giving him the finisher http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/7603/

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 09:08 AM) Oh, I'm sure it's true that he said those things. Talk is cheap, like Mark's contract. At least now KWs feet are in the fire a little bit. Its one thing to speculate that KW is going to be aggressive in the FA market, but now one of his core players is saying that KW has said that he will be pursuing certain players.

My plans of world domination will soon come to fruition, Muwhahahahahah

Lets hope this is true

Regal is in better shape than I have seen him in years. He looks like a different guy

QUOTE(SoxFan77 @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 02:09 PM) Sure.. As well as A-rod signing here for MLC.. It can be done as well. The point is there is a very slim chance of him coming here and succeeding with Paule and Thome hitting in front of him.. Doesn't matter.. Who exactly is going to play the other 4 positions for a MLC? This team needs to trim payroll not increase it. So now your point has changed from "Nobody can hit behind Pauly and Thome" to "the Sox wont spend the money anyways" ? When did you become the team accountant and money distributor?

QUOTE(SoxFan77 @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 02:02 PM) Yep.. Dye is looking like it this year huh? Doesnt change my point, It can be done. And Dye has been pretty much on fire for the last month, huh?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 01:58 PM) Yeah, but the point does stand that Fields can't really catch up to fastballs right now. My guess is he will and be all right, but you never know, and that's his huge weakness now. If he can't, he'll be useless as you can't play in the majors and be incapable of hitting the fastball. I actually dont see him having problems with the fastball so much as a pitcher consistently changing speeds.

QUOTE(SoxFan77 @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 01:56 PM) Do you really think he would put up MVP numbers hitting behind Paule and Thome. He would no longer be the focal point of an offense as he has been in OAK and BAL. Also who exactly is he driving in? With so many holes on this team position wise.. and spending another 13mil on one player.. Great if this is your XboX.. but reality is that we can't fix the holes and get him.. People are not flocking to the park like last yaer, so payroll has to be trimmed. Damn, nobody could put up MVP numbers behind Pauly and Thome *coughDyecough* And wouldnt removing Uribe from the lineup and adding Tejada to the lineup patch up one of those holes?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 01:00 PM) No, I'm not going to use his nickname, but Colts DT Anthony McFarland appears to be pretty much done for the season after tearing up his knee. The Colts have had a tough offseason. they still have one of the best offenses around, but they have lost a lot on D

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 01:46 PM) The point still stands that Fields needs to work on hitting the fastball, though, and that Mussina doesn't throw much heat. Fields has issues with heat, period, but I imagine he'll get better. My point is that Mussina makes plenty of people look stupid and look like they are swinging at much faster pitches. Fields needs to work on hitting,yes, but to use Mussina as your example of why, I find that wrong. Mussina makes Konerko look bad plenty of the time, but that doesnt mean konerko cant hit an 87 MPH fastball
