I guess it is a bit petty, but I dont see any real reason that the Sox should have been dropped to the 2 spot by the cardinals. the only reason I see the Sox dropping is because ESPN predicted that the Cardinals would overtake the Sox for the top spot. The ESPN pundits couldnt have made their prediction wrong, that would be silly. So the team with the best record in the Majors is now the second best team in the Majors. makes perfect sense!

Who do we face in that series? I was just reading something the other day that said 4 pitchers from the Rangers staff last year have had tommy john surgery since the season ended. Not a good stat to have.

QUOTE(mreye @ May 26, 2005 -> 08:29 AM)Why do we worry about this?
I got sick of reading about Anthrax's GM moves. So I found something else to occupy my time.
If we arent worrying about something or another on this site, what are we doing? Not too much.

ESPN proves itself amateurs once again. No reasoning whatsoever, they just jockey people back and forth.

it looked like iguchi was on a delayed steal or something, he was past halfway to second base.

Everything Ozzie touches is gold right now. Widger hadnt hit a homerun in the majors in about 3 years, comes back from the independent league, and now hits two homeruns in spot starts? Thats awesome.

I despised Chris Snopek. For one, he wasnt Robin Ventura. And second, he wasnt ever going to be ready for the Majors. And third, he wasnt Robin Ventura.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ May 25, 2005 -> 05:38 PM)I make you all a deal I stop posting the truth about KW.. and you stop posting onhow great and what a good GM he is..
Deal?
When your "truth" stops including sentences such as "My handpicked team would be 2-3 games off this pace right now", then maybe I will start to understand what you mean. Until then, you are playing a rotisserie(sp?) league

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ May 25, 2005 -> 05:36 PM)Until KW can actaully build a team that can win a title or WC.. IMO he is a failure.
All but one GM every year is a failure. Get over it.

I just dont want the Sox to have to face Randa anytime soon. that guy is absolutely lights out against the Sox. If they have to acquire him to prevent this from happening, so be it.

I have actually talked with 4 scouts over the past 3 years 2 at the all-star game when it was here, about KW.. And most say the same thing that I preach.. He should not be a MLB GM, he is in way over his head
droppin names....
So you walked up to scouts and started talking shop about KW? I would think scouts have alot more to do with their time at games than to talk down about a GM. Thats just me though.
Only after JR hired on OG and he started to complain to the media about how he wanted a real baseball team. That is what lite a fire under KW arse to make changes..Lit a fire under his arse to make changes? KW has been making changes, every year, to try and better his club. It isnt as if he has been sitting back and letting them play and up and decided to start making changes because Ozzie started complaining. True, alot of his moves have blown up in his face, but that happens to every GM. Even Brian Cashman makes mistake signings. The difference is that Cashman has always had more wiggle room than KW because of Yankee money and Steinbrenners desire to win.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 25, 2005 -> 12:52 PM)I hate it when somebody proves me wrong.
LOL. here is to 20/20 hindsight!
In all seriousness, If I had to pick between
Ortiz and El Duque
I pick El Duque
Jose Guillen and Jermaine Dye
Jermaine Dye ( and that is only because Guillen is a ticking timebomb who has no concept of team, regardless of who is coaching him. Sciocia coaches very similar to Guillen, I dont see how Ozzie would have some sort of calming effect on Jose. )
Gibbons/Roberts and Konerko/Iguchi
Konerko/Iguchi, hands down. Gibbons hasnt done much to distinguish himself, and while Roberts is pretty damn good, Iguchi is the one I want. Konerko will be fine, and will probably put up better numbers than Gibbons. iguchi should put up comprable, if not better numbers than Roberts.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 25, 2005 -> 12:46 PM)I've learned not to even bother reading that garbage.
I played MLB2005 on playstation and got Oakland to trade me Hudson, Chavez and Zito for Pauly, Crede, and PTBNL. Straight up! It can happen! It really can!

QUOTE(poorme @ May 25, 2005 -> 09:35 AM)uribe is what he is. it's not easy to find a good hitting SS.
what about CF, RF, DH, 3B, 1B? that's what is killing the offense.
Well, we were all complaining about Konerko and Dye hovering around the .200 mark a few weeks ago, and they now stand at .228 and .221, respectively. Not great numbers, to say the least, but at least they have both been raising their averages while making contributions. Carl needs to get himself back on track, or its gonna be a long season for him when Frank gets called back to the bigs. Rowand is real close to breaking through, just a hunch. Although his weak grounder in the ninth didnt help him out too much.

Why do you say that? Isnt Esteban Loaiza an ace?

QUOTE(AirScott @ May 23, 2005 -> 06:11 PM)on a related note, am I the only one that noticed the shameless plug by the Tribune writer? maybe the fact that the Sox get no love from Chicagoans and the Cubs do is because of the obvious media bias (the newspaper owns the Cubs).
Actually Scott, that was my beef with the article, not whether Konerko should be re-signed or not.
-
Any word as to why he was released?
-
I found this on the Sports Illustrated truth and rumors page. The Tribune is reported as the source, but I cant find where this was printed:
Wouldn't it be nice if Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf opened his wallet to sign free-agent-to-be Paul Konerko? It would have been done by now if Konerko played for the Cubs, but Reinsdorf's ownership group doesn't have the resources of Tribune Co., and just about everybody in the Sox's clubhouse understands that.It would have been done by now if Konerko played for the Cubs? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Didnt the Cubs wait all off-season and part of Spring Training to re-sign Aramis Ramirez? How about all the smoke and mirrors in the Sammy Sosa contract negotiations?
Reinsdorf hasnt endeared himself to everyone throughout his tenure, but claims like this are just stupid.

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ May 23, 2005 -> 12:41 PM)I read an article in the paper on if JR dove into his pockets and made the parking lots into an area like wrigleyville, with bars and things to do before and after the game we could be owning this city.
I think that is part of the grand master plan of re-designing the US Cellular experience. From what I keep reading about what they areplanning to do, bars are on the way. You can only hope that the people who own the property around the park are smart enough to capitalize on the gameday traffic.
It seems like it is way too obvious for me. Open a bar to cater to the fans. Duh.

Remember when we rocked K-rod last year.
Isnt K-Rod hurt right now? Last I heard he was Day to Day

QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ May 23, 2005 -> 10:22 AM)My friend who is a huge Rangers fan came up with a trade
The Sox would send Aaron Rowand, Joe Crede and B Mac for Mark Teixeira and Hank Blalock
Someone explain to me how this benefits the White Sox please. You lose your starting centerfielder, starting 3B, and future starter for a starting 3b. Im sure Texas would jump on this trade in a heartbeat

QUOTE(BobDylan @ May 22, 2005 -> 01:59 PM)Alright. I was just wondering, that first inning I heard him they weren't really responding to him. It sounded like he wasn't supposed to be there.
He has been quite comical.
Moose: I wouldnt want a piece of that Buehrle, that big Right hander
DJ: Ahhh Jon Garland
Moose: I wouldnt want a piece of him either.
