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

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 04:52 PM) :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead For the people who rode the little yellow school bus... I love how you always consider everyone else slow-minded.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 04:50 PM) This trade thread has degenerated into oblivion. Anthrax is good at doing this to certain threads. He just has that certain magnetism that draws us all in.

It probably tough for the KW hata's out there right now. The critiques get more and more random and made up when the Sox continue to do better.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 04:46 PM) Yes, so stop arguing for your opinions, we wont get him in a trade, and we wont in Free Agency. LOL

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) No that is the point.. 10 mil for JS or a younger verison of JS.. I'll take the younger version please. of course neither will be on the sox with their asking price so all this arguing is pointless... ...which makes your first point of Burnett being "easier to sign" moot.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 04:40 PM) And how much is that option for? 10 million. But thats besides the point. He does not have to be signed, AJ Burnett does. Burnett is already looking for that kind of money. Moot point.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 08:03 PM) padres are looking at him, they want him at second so they can put loretta at third I thought they were more interested in him because Loretta is hurt right now(broken pinky or something like that) and they wanted Damian Jackson to be a utility player more than a starter. Either way, I think Boone ends up a Padre, its his hometown I think.

Im convinced that Marcil and Eva Longoria are long lost twins. They both have the same "Im going to do bad things to you" look in their layouts. Good Pics Chaos!

Hermanson only issued a bereavement warning, saying that something could happen soon. Nothing happened yet though.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) Another thing, how does Burnett fit into our rotation any better than the Yankees? We've already got 5 starting pitchers under contract for next year, only ours have been more effective and have been healthier than the Yankee's group. I highly doubt we are going to sign another starter for big bucks, since we are already spending so much on our rotation, and Garland will be due for a raise. We simply can't afford to have half our payroll in the starting rotation. And then there is that.... To me, I see it like this: Clemens> Burnett Oswalt>Burnett Burnett>Schmidt Schmidt>Contreras So basically I would be happy with any one of those guys to replace Contreras at the 4 spot(or El Duque at the 5, if Contreras were part of the trade). Burnett would be nice, but I think all dreams of re-signing him where he would like to get paid should be thrown out the window. It comes down to which rent-a-player would cost the Sox the least and give them the most(health + performance). That pretty much throws out all but Oswalt, and even he had some injury problems last year.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) \ Why would AJ not be resignable? I think we can get it down, we have Carl, Pauly,Frank,Timo and Shingo all coming off the books next year. We have some cash to go after another SP that could make us damn ferking good for the next 3-4 years. Who doesn't want to be a Yankee? Get overpaid and if you underperform everyone else besides you it seems gets the boot. Where in the Rotation is AJ going to fit in? They have Johnson,Pavano, Mussina, Brown, and The infamous Jarret Wright. I know that RJ CP and JW are all signed through next year.. I don't know the current status of MM and KB. Also factor in Oswalt, is he not a FA next year as well? If I were the Yankees and had my choice I would go after Oswalt over AJ, which would help us out in signing him. IMO, Schmidt is a bad idea if this was jason from 2002, then yeah go for it.. I just think what we would have to give up would not be worth the reward. Lots of speculation on both of our parts. Where in the Rotation is AJ going to fit in? They have Johnson,Pavano, Mussina, Brown, and The infamous Jarret Wright. Something tells me that Kevin Brown is either done after this year or he is goign to take his act elsewhere. new York doesnt have alot of patience with Brown after his substandard year last year, his attitude, and his lack of health. Wright may never pitch for the Yankees, who knows? He seems to have one good year and then goes on the DL for 5 years. I think we can get it down, we have Carl, Pauly,Frank,Timo and Shingo all coming off the books next year. Im glad you are positive that the Sox will not make a run at all of these players, but I doubt that seriously. If I were the Yankees and had my choice I would go after Oswalt over AJ, which would help us out in signing him. So if the Yankees throw big money at Oswalt, setting the bar on FA pitchers in the market, this helps the Sox sign someone who is already looking for big money? Im thinking this would set the Sox back even more if Oswalt signed with the Yanks, it would probably drive the bargaining up and put him out of the Sox range.
