QUOTE(fathom @ Jan 8, 2006 -> 10:54 PM) Why would you take Vazquez over those guys? Unlike Vazquez, the other Sox pitchers have proven that their numbers won't inflate due to pitching at the Cell. As of right now, I'm just as confident in McCarthy as I am Vazquez. I know you like Vazquez, which is fine. He has dynamic stuff, and can go a lot of innings. The great thing about this is that we're talking about 6 very good pitchers....not many teams in the last few decades can claim the same thing. i dont understand why we should have to choose. At this point, the 5 starters with the most MLB experience are Contreras, Garcia, Buehrle, Garland and Vazquez, not McCarthy. I love McCarthy's stuff and makeup, but he is probably going to have to come to terms with being the 6th starter/long reliever this year, and I dont really think this is going to hurt him in the long run anyways. Besides, you dont put a pitcher with Vazquez' salary in long relief, and you dont trade him when your top 4 pitchers logged over 200 innings last year. Its a non-factor for me, unless a starter is traded, I see McCarthy starting the year in the pen. And you are right fathom, we are talking about 6 very good pitchers.....one year after having 5 very good pitchers and one sometimes good pitcher.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jan 8, 2006 -> 04:22 PM) I'm positive there won't be another 8 sack performance against the Panthers this time. Maybe I'll be eating my words in a week, but I'm guessing not. The Panthers may be a little better prepared next week, but the Bears also changed QBs since their last meeting, and their D-line isnt going to be pinning their ears back and coming all out against Rex like they did to Orton, they know Rex can beat them. I think both teams evened the playing ground since they last met, and its gonna be a great game.

Manning was dreadful today, the NY media is not going to be kind tomorrow.

QUOTE(JimJab @ Jan 8, 2006 -> 01:07 AM) I think he's pass the point of maturing in his life. He's just low-life scum. He made bad, selfish decisions. he didnt kill someone or rob someone. Low life scum is a pretty off-base assessment of someone you dont know. He needs to get his head on straight and stop believing he is the next coming of Michael Vick(who accomplished way more when he was at Vatech). And he needs to stop hitting on 15 year olds.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 06:06 PM) How can you say Clemens is past his prime? He had an ERA below 2 this season. Because he is over 40. I didnt say he sucked, but lets be real here, when he was in his 20's he was even more dominating. Now he has tons of experience to fall back on and it makes him better, but Clemens aint getting any younger. I dont think he is bad at all, but everyone loses a little when they get older. Clemens had to learn the splitter to maintain his (unbelieveable) effectiveness, and he mastered it. The 20 year old Roger didnt need that splitter, he was just that damn good.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 07:23 PM) let him sit on the bench for at least 1 season preferably 2 get his head on straight and than become a dominant QB for us for the future. Ha, I bet Frank Beamer thought the same thing....

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 10:58 PM) A few of those don't seem so bad and would be an upgrade over Viz if the price is right. Which ones? I dont think I want KW to touch any one of those guys with a ten foot pole. Embree-gas can, did you see this guy pitch last year? gives me the willies Felix Rodriguez-gas can(18 K in 32 innings. Not good for a K pitcher) Alfonseca-gas can(27 IP last year, and six goddamn fingers, and he couldnt handle any pressure) Tavares-head case, potential gas can Nelson-way past his prime, plus he is a dick and doesnt pitch anywhere not named Seattle or NYY(his Texas year was an abberation ) Sullivan-sinkerball pitcher one year removed from tommy john. Although the ex-cub factor may be worth checking out Quantrill-past his prime(6.75 ERA in the AL last year) Miceli-may be worth looking in to, but still past his prime(18.3 IP last year) Mendoza-Hasnt been the same since he left the yankees.(1 IP last year) Powell-He is still in the league?(3.3 IP last year) Christiansen-The one guy on this list I would really consider If these are the choices, I say let the kids play. There has to be someone in the minors that is better than the above mentioned pitchers.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 05:42 PM) It would be so nice if the NFL turned its back on this kid and he actually had to work for a living with that degree he got... Oops. You gotta be a real POS to have the NFL turn its back on you. Marcus has a million dollar arm, its too bad his brain is equipped with $.02 worth of common sense.

This is getting bad for the Bucs already. Simms must be having flashbacks of the Red River shootout.

Maybe we should make a NFL Playoffs discussion thread.... Anyhow, Clinton Portis is a stud, 7-0 Skins

Does anyone know why LaVar Arrington says his high school's name instead of Penn State in the pre-game introductions?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 03:03 PM) They havent gotten around to them yet. All they're looking for is a precedent they can use in future lawsuits. There are TONS of Native American team names in Illinois. When I lived in Southern Illinois, it seemed like if your mascot wasnt a dog or a cat, it was the Indians or Redskins etc. If the Native Americans succeed in one case, I have feeling that there is going to be alot of re-named mascots.

I think you need a european wallet

On the NFL Playoff Wildcard game pre-game show Chris Berman was listing the top ten playoff moments of all time according to ESPN. Shortly thereafter, ESPN announced that USC could beat any one of those playoff teams, by an average margin of 33-6. I am glad this is finally started! But man does it suck that us Bears fans have to wait an extra week for ours, I have no patience for bye weeks.

QUOTE(AirScott @ Jan 6, 2006 -> 06:19 PM) hmm, let's look at his track record: 2004: suspended entire season for marijuana possesion Oct 2005: makes obscene gesture to fans Dec 2005: driving on revoked license Gator Bowl: stomps on players leg, lies about apoligizing yeah, I'd say he brought it upon himself. Hmm, I thought his little soiree' with two 14 year old girls would have made his list of s***ty things done. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=1851263 You know this guy bought into his own hype about the same time that Mike got drafted.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jan 7, 2006 -> 12:54 PM) I doubt Freddy skips the classic, but Vazquez might. Hmm, I was hoping it was going to be the other way around if anything. Freddy logged 250 innings last season counting the post-season, 35 more innings than Vazquez.

Is there anyone on the Sox that is confirmed to be playing in the WBC?
