QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 8, 2006 -> 06:27 PM) Didn't he get roughed up a bit this spring, and then they had Charlie Hough work with him a bit? He's been as good as you can be at Charlotte, and was pretty good his last spring training outing. I bet Hough could come in and still pitch 5 innings. That guy never threw fast as it was, his age didnt matter

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 8, 2006 -> 06:25 PM) Ok, I just can't resist...why? Are we going for moral victories here? Or, maybe where wins and losses don't count like little league? Whose bringing the Capri Suns and Orange wedges?

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ May 8, 2006 -> 06:09 PM) Huh? I don't get your point. Mine was that you can't compare losing Contreras to losing El Duque. Now what's yours? I dont have one. Im just arguing with you because you brought the Cubs into the conversation

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ May 8, 2006 -> 06:00 PM) Nobody in their right mind thought Duque would go a full season without landing on the DL atleast once. That's not a good comparison. Nobody in their right mind thought Contreras was going to end up as good as he was since the All star break. Now we count on it.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ May 8, 2006 -> 05:51 PM) How hard was it to understand what I said? It's the Cubs that always have the pitching injuries. I'm sure it makes them feel good to see us have one for a change. That's all I meant. I understood just fine, dont you worry about that. It happened last year with El Duque as well, and the sox got along just fine.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ May 8, 2006 -> 05:49 PM) Did anyone listen to the game on the radio on Thursday? If I remember correclty, Singleton said something like they (I would assume Ozzie and Herm) were yelling to see if Jose was ok and he shook them off like he was fine. After this little 5 second blip, I heard nothing more. Does anyone else remember hearing this? Now that you mention it, I kind of remember that. I thought they were all just joking around at the time

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ May 8, 2006 -> 05:47 PM) We have crippling pitching injuries all the time? Who knew. Yeah, you would think this indicated a 3 year trend or something. I need to go find a Cub fan to sympathize with.....

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ May 8, 2006 -> 05:43 PM) I know Cubs fans have to feel pretty good right now. about....?

It would be hilarious if Bruce was browsing Soxtalk.....

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 8, 2006 -> 05:38 PM) Why appologize? All he had to do was give a little more information than he did he wouldn't have been doubted like he was. bingo. And the approach was very troll-rumor like.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 8, 2006 -> 04:48 PM) Protesting what?? The Tribune company. They want to try and force the Tribune company to sell by protesting, lol.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ May 8, 2006 -> 04:45 PM) Like Hermanson has.......... and that would be apples and oranges

9 pages down. 116 to go.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 8, 2006 -> 04:25 PM) If Jose Contreras, the best pitcher in baseball dating back to the 2005 All-Star break, had health troubles that would merit his missing a start, it would be all over Chicago sports radio. At this point, my only vindication would be this guy's banishment. I have a very low tolerance for this trolling, playground bulls***. Hulkaddystsox very angry. Hulkaddystsox SMASH!!!!

Where is heads with his confirmation

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 8, 2006 -> 04:20 PM) Hi, I'm Brandon McCarthy, the sixth/spot-starter coming out of the bullpen. I'm already with the big league club, have proven I could get major league talent out, and would not force another arbitration clock to start ticking. lol

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 8, 2006 -> 04:18 PM) Tim Redding of the 4.91 ERA and 1.46 WHIP at AAA? guess not

If there is truth to this rumor, it would seem the Sox are throwing Haeger to the wolves. Wouldnt Redding be a better spot starter,seeing as he actually has MLB experience?

yep, email [email protected] for more information. They talked about it all morning on the Score

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 8, 2006 -> 04:07 PM) Guys, you may want to listen to our radio show. Mario and I's sources said that Contreras was being treated for his back. there is no room for reality here, silly admin.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 8, 2006 -> 04:03 PM) Garcia Traded, Liotta called up.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 8, 2006 -> 04:02 PM) Let's say ALL of the things that some of the posters here have said is true.... 1) Contreras isn't making his start Wednesday 2) Count was seen limping yesterday 3) Haeger is being called up to take his place in the rotation. Let's review how many ways this doesn't make sense. 1) If Haeger is getting called up, somebody else has to go on the DL or get sent down. The only candidate for being sent down is Boone Logan. There are no candidates for being put on the DL (though I wouldn't be surprised if Cliff didn't make it through the season without a trip to the doctor) Contreras' limp, unless it was something of the magnitude of say an ACL tear, is not going to prompt the White SOx to put him on the DL. At worst, they would allow him to skip a start, with McCarthy replacing him, and evaluate him further in a few days. Contreras' start is still over 48 hours away. Unless he has a gangrenous limb, the Sox aren't going to make a final decision until Tomorrow at the earliest. Think about the McCarthy/El Duque situation last year. McCarthy wasn't notified until about 24 hours before his first ML start. The Sox are going to take a wait-and-see approach with all of their pitchers. In fact, with the off-day today, the Sox don't have to make a decision until they go through their rotation a full time. Saturday at the earliest. So until you can provide concreate evidence that Contreras has a SERIOUS health issue, (or at least that someone in his immediate family is ailing, prompting a Bereavement list trip) you're just blowin smoke. Cheat, that is just no fun.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 8, 2006 -> 04:00 PM) Liotta called up, Garland traded. I hear Crede is on the block as well, so room can be made for Fields.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ May 8, 2006 -> 01:35 PM) Me and a Hobbit type creature I found in a river in France. The caption possibilities on this photo are absolutely endless, Deploderer. LMAO

QUOTE(bmags @ May 8, 2006 -> 03:57 PM) a /green perhaps eh, someone still wouldnt get the joke and would end up upset. It would be fun though
