QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:10 AM) No. Effing'. Way. He actually said "Burnett will be with the White Sox, let me rephrase that, Kenny Williams is trying very hard to acquire Burnett whether he is a rental or not."

Im sure that this has been stated already, but I was thinking that if the problem with Frank Thomas persists, and it looks like he isnt going to be able to make it back this year without constant pain, then Griffey should be one target. I have been laughing at the KGJ bandwagon this whole time, but if Thomas stays on the DL, it changes my outlook. If Griffey and Everett could share the DH/4th OF role much in the same way that thomas and everett share the DH role, this team would probably be more improved. Just my two cents.

Bruce stopped just short of gauranteeing that Burnett would come to the Sox, rental or not. he was talking about how JR ok'ed adding a rental if it was necassary. He also talked pretty highly of Burnett, saying that Matt Clement told him that Burnett has more electric stuff than Prior, Wood, Beckett, anyone he has ever pitched with. I think I read on chicagosports.com or benmaller.com that JR is going to ok a rental, it was KW who prefers to get him signed if possible.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 08:11 AM) Hermanson has been anything but overpowering when converting his saves. He has been fortunate so far on at least 5 or 6 occasions that that defense has bailed him out. Your beef with Hermanson seems to be when he comes in for non-save situations. I agree, he has been extremely subpar in his outings where the pressure wasnt on, and has given up hits and runs. But to his credit, he has gotten the job done 23 out of 24 times this year when it has mattered.

QUOTE(shakes @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) I laughed ever night they called two shows The Trifecta. Couldn't they have changed the name, or dropped it, until they got a third show back. didnt they run "Outside the Lines" as the third show in the trifecta? Thats what i always saw, I never saw only two shows.

i dont know how prevalent this is in other parks, but Holiday World(In Santa Claus, Indiana) has free drinks and free sunblock, and the food was good and reasonably priced(hamburger 3 Bucks, 14 inch pizza with saus and pep 14 bucks). We had a great time there despite the drive. Its also rated the cleanest waterpark in the world, and I cannot disagree. In the part of the park with the rides, they have the number 1 and number 4 wooden roller coasters in the world, and they are awesome. If you are looking to get away and avoid the uber-crowded parks in Chicago and the Dells, this is the place to go. www.holidayworld.com

Hmmm, Neyer dissing the Sox? No Way! This coming from the guy who thinks the Royals pitching is much improved every year.

I just checked Gonzalez numbers (after I made an uninformed statement), I was wrong. Gonzalez can stay in Florida.

If Uribe was included in the deal, it makes alot of sense for both teams. The Marlins get a young SS signed for 3 years, and the White Sox get a very solid SS who wants to play for Ozzie. I would do it ina heartbeat.

Last time I remember him in the playoffs he struck out alot. That off-season he was shipped to Texas. I think more of a contact hitter is needed, but who knows.

the next time I go to a Waterpark it will either be Holiday World or somewhere at the Dells. I can just imagine how crowded Great America gets, even on an off-day. The Dells has alot of different waterparks to offer, and Holidayworld is far enough out there to not be too crowded.

With Isaiah in charge, we have nothing to fear from New York. He has consistently made bad personnel decisions and increased the payroll in New York. Now he is trying to get out from under Crawford or Marbury's contract because he traded for Quentin Richardson. I say let them all lie in their s***-stinking bed, I think its quite funny. Steve Czaban said it best "In Toronto, Thomas ran into the house(the house being the Toronto Raptors) and set fire to everything, and walked out the front door and said "I dunno what happened in there. Now he is doing the same thing in New York, the same bad personnel decisions, setting fire to everything, and with the same look on his face. How long before he steps out the front door and says "I dunno what happened in there". Probably not too long."

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) Eh.. we got one. Hold them, score another next inning. Sheesh.. you guys are sooo negative.. :rolly STFU! Dont be negative about my negativity!

not happy about that out at 3rd

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:37 PM) Yay for throwing away outs. Thats a crank yankers "yaaaayyy!" from me.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) Alright now a double scores frank. I was thinking a triple or a homerun

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:12 PM) it would really suck if this game got called. its official. I thought it was official after 5?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) Between softball 360 and The business of sports I'm not quite sure what the worst show of all time is. I thought Chet Coppocks show was pretty bad. I met the guy in New Orleans and I really wanted to tell him that, but I didnt. he was really happy to be recognized though, he talked to me and my Dad for quite a while.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:09 PM) That can't be right, there are way too many marks to the right of SS. The game threads said all he can do is pull the ball, what's up with that? expanding his out-zone this year I see.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 12:23 PM) Jay williams supposedly ''held his own'' in the pre draft work outs... and he wasn't 100% yet. If that is truly the case why has he not gotten much attention yet? Something is fishy about that. I dont think its fishy. I think it makes sense. the guy almost had his leg amputated.

Boy, Farmer is talking about nothing quite well right now.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) Paulie's going to get some plugs before that happens. I saw him out on the street last summer, I think he uses that spray paint stuff on his bald spot when he's not playing. he probably has enough back there to fluff it up and comb it over to make it look better without spraypainting. But you never know. Maybe he should try rogaine? His former-best-teammate-ever Keith Hernandez recommends "Just for Men" in five, just five minutes!

I cant help but think that we are turnign on Pauly in the same fashion as Cubs fans turned on Sham-Me. But its purely on performance, and not on a bad attitude and cork, so it must be ok. Its fun too dammit

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:52 PM) Konerko just said Jacque Jones is the best player he ever played against, period. Konerko also said he is extremely dissapointed in the pitch that Freddy threw to Shelton for a homer.
