Are the Mariners looking to become the White Sox Northwest farmteam? The past 4 years when the Mariners were on top of their division, all Gammons talked about was how great thier farm system was and how they were set for a long period of time. Now they need to raid our farm system? lol

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 10:20 AM) After looking at that picture, I'd rather go home for three days than play in some exhibition game You think she wouldnt go with him? I would look at it as a 3 day vacation with her no matter if I did or did not get chosen for the AS game

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 10:13 PM) attitude? explain. He also got in a fight with a teamate.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 10:11 PM) None of them threw this hard. All were upper 90's...but none of them were hitting 99 or higher. You never find guys like this. NEVER. Thiggy never threw 100? I swear he did, but that was a while ago....

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 10:06 PM) whats' the knock on him? Control? Lotta walks? I think he tends to lose the strikezone every once in a while, issues alot of walks and gets lit up when he has to come to the plate with his fastball. Just keep pounding the plate and he will be fine. When is the last time a Sox reliever threw this hard? Hernandez? Radinsky? Thigpen? Lorenzo Barcelo was rumored to throw that hard, but I never saw it.

QUOTE(Winnin Ugly @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) Would anyone of you trade Jenks as part of a package to get a starting pitcher or do you think he should be untouchable... It was one game, but he looked good. I think he should be held on to, this years K-Rod.

Ozzie Guillens post game comments: "Believe me I manage like there is a half game lead, I make my players play like there is a half game lead. I dont believe in 10 1/2 game leads. I dont believe in 12 1/2 game leads. I believe in winning." I like to hear that.

SS2KKKKKKKKK.......Yes!

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 02:19 PM) What exactly does batting average mean again? That a guy can hit a bunch of singles? Adam Dunn is in the top 15 of best offensive players. Dunn is awesome. aack, its like I am talking to them again. Im rather unimpressed by Dunn aside from the fact that he can hit homeruns

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) You definitely went too far with the Rob Deer comparison. Deer was a career .220 hitter who only hit 30 homers twice, never drove in 90 runs, and didn't walk as much as Dunn. However, they're definitely overestimating Dunn. Thome played 100 games for the first time when he was 24 (turned 25 in August), and he hit .314 that year. I'd mention that. You should probably tell them to wait until Dunn hits .270 to make the Thome comparisons. I didn't see you do anything seriously wrong in the opinion/fact department in what I read. An opinion is simply the expression of your belief on a certain topic. This isn't a problem unless you start using opinions more like facts. Look at some of Anthrax's posts for an example of this. I guess I just dont feel that Dunn projects into their lineup well. I see their lineup becoming more corpseball-like. Lots of strikeouts and homeruns. Deer struck out alot and never really had a high average, and hit alot of homeruns. The difference I see is the ability to take a walk, but alot of pitchers unintentionally-intentionally walk Dunn to get to batters behind him. Ah well, you just cant talk rational with most cubs fans right now.

Could someone with a little time on their hands do me a favor? http://forums.prospero.com/n/mb/message.as...bs7&msg=8.40774 Follow this thread, and my attempt at rational conversation with Cubs fans. RuinsoftheIE has told me that I use opinion wrongly, and I am curious as to whether anyone else feels this way. If this is the way I am percieved, things are gonna change. I dont like being told my opinion is wrong, and that i dont even know what an opinion is.

QUOTE(soxfan3530 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) BBTN even game his some love last night. they were all just cracking up about how far it went and like two highlights later, the host ( cant remember who it was) goes and thomas' homer has just landed. Kruk and Reynolds were amazed and couldnt stop talking about it everytime they showed the replay.

LOL, I have been checking out the Coob board on chicagosports.com to see how they are taking things, and the fans have decided that they need Adam Dunn. I was just told that Adam Dunn is a younger version of Jim Thome. I didnt see it, I only see a younger version of Rob Deer. Anyone who feels like chiming in, feel free..

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) I think at the game they said 418. That was 418 feet up, then 418 feet out. He tommy-hawked it outta there(to use one of Hawks phrases)

Should we start a contest and make bets on which inning you think Lou Piniella gets ejected? I am almost certain he is gonna be kicking some dirt tonite, I am guessing 5th inning, one out.

QUOTE(slick03 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 11:05 AM) I'm with you. I absolutely love Rooney's homerun calls. He gets so excited. He makes it fun to listen to the games. On Carmen and Silvy this morning they replayed Rooney's call on Thomas' homerun last night. I got pumped up just listening to it, Rooney definitely makes the game exciting to listen to.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 02:48 AM) Cleveland is a horribly run franchise. Redd should stay away from that train wreck. Milwaukee has some promise with Ford back and the pick of Bogut. Its amazing how different the Paxson boys ran their teams, isnt it? John went for quality and depth, and Jim went for the glitter and glamour. Now Jim doesnt have a job.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 10:47 AM) if i recall our schedule is a little tougher than theirs It is, no doubt. Gotta play who is on the schedule.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 10:22 AM) They still get to play the Royals 11 more times, which means an automatic 9 or 10 more wins. The Tigers and Indians should give them a good fight though. I dont see the Twins blowing through the competition in the same way they did last season.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 08:58 AM) Who on earth voted for DJ... Come on...Fess up... It was anthrax, you know it.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 08:47 AM) I wonder if JR and company actually did move to Tampa back in the day if their fate would have been any better. I think it would have been similar, but there is no way that JR would have approved that mad spending period in the late 90's that brought the D-Rays such prozed prospects as Juan Guzman, Greg Vaughn, Wilson Alvarez, Jose Canseco, and Vinny Castilla. When Lamarr attempted to buy a championship with these old and fragile pieces, he should have been fired on results alone. Somehow he keeps his job and continues to make bad franchise decisions.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 08:38 AM) Pinella is doing everything he can to get fired. Too bad Tampa's management is too cheap for that. Tampas management is putting themselves in a worse position everytime they screw Lou over. What manager is going to want to come in there and try and right that ship? What FA's are going to consider going there, and how much would management be willing to give up? It seems like the Expos management moved to Tampa. Its a shame really, but then again they play in a crappy dome and havent done much to try and draw fans. Plus, Chuck Lamarr is running things, and noone will make deals with him because he is insane. So Tampa holds on to their talent until its too late and they cannot get enough for it, or the talent just walks out the front door and Tampa gets a compensatory pick. Its a bad cycle that they put themselves in.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 08:31 AM) Well, they've won the first 2 games of the series, in my presence. Hopefully they can still win without me being there. Go Sox....get the sweep! you do know that if they lose today, its now your fault, right? LOL

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 07:08 AM) not to be negative, because we are 30 games over .500 and all is right in the world, but i think dj's home run call blows. dont feel bad, we all think that way.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 09:01 PM) "White Sox May 1: Placed first baseman Ross Gload on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 25, with left shoulder inflammation" LOL Great visual aid
