QUOTE(VAfan @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 10:11 AM) I love your question "Where do I fit this guy into the lineup"? It captures Aubrey Huff perfectly. Frankly, it also fits for Lyle Overbay, who wouldn't send Paul Konerko to the bench either (though I think Overbay has more upside than Huff). Why would Huff or Overbay send Konerko to the bench? Overbay would be the platooning DH/1B, and Huff could possibly be platooning 3B/1B/DH as well. One of these guys is the difference between Timo being your replacement DH when Carl gets tossed and Huff/Overbay being your replacement. Everyone said there wouldnt be enough at-bats for Frank and Carl when Frank came back. Ozzie found the at-bats to make everyone happy. It isnt going to be brain-science if one of these guys is acquired.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 09:52 AM) Maybe the deal will be Blum and Olivo.... Gives us a backup catcher with a better arm then Widger... Maybe they got him at KW's request... LOL. Better arm, worse game calling, and horribly bad average. Yeah, lets get rid of Widger as the backup. What a great idea!!!

Whats the latest time for announcing a trade, 6 PM? There are always trades that sneak in at the last second and arent announced until after the deadline.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 09:29 AM) Many thought he would be a five tool player despite what there eyes were seeing. He was doing pretty good with the Sox until he was traded last year. I dont think our eyes decieved us, I think his overachieving performance decieved us. It decieved the Mariners too.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 12:26 AM) Lyle Overbay is a 1B without power. Again, he's a nice average ballplayer. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=4598 Everyone keeps saying that Overbay has no power, this is a myth. He is on pace for 25 homeruns and 34 doubles this year, after 53 doubles and 16 homeruns last year. His power has gone up pretty much every year he has played, and he has always had a .300 average capability. A lifetime slugging percentage of .464 is pretty good, is it not? And having a .497 slugging percentage this year means he is producing some power this year, does it not? .381 OBP this year, .385 last year, lifetime .378..... I know the chances of acquiring him are slim, but the guy definitely has pop in his bat. And moving to The Cell is only going to increase the pop in his bat.

I had no idea that you started the "hate the White Sox through blogs" craze! http://whitesoxsuck.blogspot.com Josh, you are so mean! You big bully! lol

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) Absurd. Like the guy or not, he is an improvement. Not to mention both Punto and Rivas were butchers in the field. You can go find defensive stats such as range and whatnot, but the game isn't played on paper. His defensive improvement and veteran ability is reason enough to call him an improvement. mmm, I think you put too much stock in his past production and name. This may not have been a move backwards, but it definitely wasnt an improvement. A lateral move if anything.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 10:11 PM) But, there is a way to de-bark a dog without hurting it. They simply give the dog anastescia (sp) then poke holes in the dog's voice pipe. I am fairly sure this is the same thing. The pain doesnt come until after the surgery, when the dog attempts to bark. When you "poke holes" in the throat, anywhere, scar tissue develops. But dogs dont know they have to stay quiet to let the scar tissue heal and to quit aggravating it. They bark and repeatedly injure their throats. Its actually really cruel any way about it.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 07:59 PM) if we got mack we wouldnt need ozuna and timo Why wouldnt we need Ozuna? I think he would be even more valuable if Mack came, they could spell Uribe and Crede at the same time.

I read that Morgan has no respect for Ryne Sandberg because of the way Sandberg ditched the Cubs in 1994.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 30, 2005 -> 10:20 AM) Uhhh wasn't Shoppach traded to Colorado along with Adam Stern for Larry Bigbie? yessir he was.

I just cannot imagine him being able to to anything near the kind of physical activity that CF requires if he tore a tendon in a mere 4-6 weeks. I dont wish it on him, but I think it will probably be in his best interest to shut it down. Of course, if the Twins somehow stay in it, im sure he will attempt a comeback to spark the team.

Back in 1994 my family bought an alaskan malamute puppy from a breeder near Rockford. We visited them a few times to pick the puppy from the litter(you had to have a deposit on the puppy before birth) and socialize ourselves with her until she was able to come home with us at 8 weeks. There was probably close to 50 breeding dogs on site, and every single one of them had that surgery because of a court order to do so. These people had lived at their house for more than 25 years when a new subdivision went up, and the main street into the subdivision was basically right across the street from the breeder's house. New neighbors moved in, and instantly they started complaining. It escalated until the neighbors took these people to court and got a noise ordinance placed on these people, which subsequently forced them to "de-bark" all of their dogs. Now knowing my Malamute, I know that these ARE loud and talkative dogs. If anyone here has owned a Malamute, you would know that they dont bark like regular dogs, they make "woo woo" sounds more than a normal bark. But walking through their kennels, and listening to every one of those poor dogs hoarse, weak attempt to bark really broke my heart. It sounded like someone dropped a hot coal on their vocal chords and just let them deal with it. I would never do that to my dogs, absolutely never.

Somebody put Benchwarmerjim on suicide watch, pronto.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 10:56 AM) When Jackson was found NG I guess.. that's when I first saw it in the newspapers. I thought his age precluded his name from any media, but what do I know.

I guess he has a huge problem with Sandberg making the hall. I have never been told what this problem is. I guess he thinks he is the be-all end-all in second basemen, and noone after him should be inducted.

Since when did the kids name become public knowledge? I thought he was not to be named in the media....
