QUOTE(mooja @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 03:30 PM) anybody know who's going to be free agents on the sox after this year? Konerko and Thomas. Crede and garland are eligible for arbitration.

we suck

In the 16 days that this thread has been around the lead has went form 15-9 LOCK THIS THREAD DELETE IT do what you have to do. Seriously mods lock it see what happens

Thats it im done witht he positivity that ive been showing during this streak. THIS TEAM f***ING BLOWS!

Duque gets a bonus if he goes 5 2/3 today because he meant the IP thing in his contract. He is pitching storng. Maybe we should offer him bonus everyday.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 12:48 PM) How did Duque not get tossed there? He was on the verge of it very close.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) BTW, Iguchi is now 5 for his last 34. Also, that Everett ball looked like it was fair. Anyone see a better angle? It was alittle sunny where it landed so you really cant tell from that view.

That looked just alittle fair let see another view

QUOTE(UC76 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 10:55 AM) 1. Ask around. People who aren't diehard Sox fans. When do you hear Hawk's name mentioned as some great, likeable TV guy? It isn't. By anyone - except Sox fans. SOME Sox fans. 2. OK, you're using ticket sales numbers of a franchise notorious for low ticket sales. 3. I used my mom as an example of someone with absolutely no prior or prejudiced opinion. What's wrong with that? That actually makes perfect sense. Maybe you think it would be better if I asked someone who already hated Hawk or liked him. Yeah, that would make sense. 4. Paciorek? I've heard it. I bet plenty of others on here have heard it as well. I'm not making anything up. And I SAID that I HEARD it. I didn't say it was fact. 5. He's grooming DJ? Hahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!! Good one. Whatever. Get in the $%$#@ booth and do your job and stop stuffing your face with free food. Grooming DJ? I'm laughing here. 6. I never said Hawk's GM skills = broadcasting skills. I mentioned it as a completely unrelated topic within the same post. It's called a tangent. 7. I never mentioned my "Cubs fan buddies." Try reading the post. I mentioned baseball fans who aren't Sox fans. I'd say their opinion is pretty objective. And they don't hate Hawk. They just say he's boring and dull and repeats the same hamburgers over and over. 1. you said yourself you were asking cubs fans. 2. you got me there 3. you already said that she watched the cubs more often which shows her opinion is one of a biased cubs fab 4. Nobody knows what happened 5. THIS MAKES ME LAUGH HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! In case you didn't realize Hawk is old and DJ is young Hawk is helping DJ with his future career if you noticed during those "breaks" that hawk usually says a word here and there which shows he isn't in the back stuffing his face with food. 6. Then why go on the tangent? STICK TO THE TOPIC 7. Usually those baseball fans are going to be somewhat biased I'm sure there fans of some team ask someone who knows nothing about baseball.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) Damn EA! They couldn't compete with the 2k series, so they bought the NFL rights. This Madden game is bad. The players look cartoonish. On All-Pro mode, you can't give up points, I'm throwing for 300 yards a game with Chad Hutchinson... come on! The game is decent, but monopolizing the NFL license was a horrible thing, and you would think that EA could do SOMETHING with presentation. There is no pre-game, no halftime, it's just pathetic. The whole radio show/newspaper thing is so generic it is killing me. MADDEN = POTTY. im glad there is no pretime and halftime all that does is waste time.

Kevin Wheeler Im probaly the only person who gets this

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:17 PM) A speed player coming off of a groin injury doesn't exact equate to a lot of success coming out of the gates. Hopefully, other players on our team will pick it up, and Pods won't have so much pressure on him. thats what im hoping happens i just answering someones question.

So what your saying is we should kill everybody on the white sox because there not winning?

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:10 PM) our offense is pathetic. we might not win the division now. in fact i bet we get swept by the yankees and go into the baggy dome with our tales between our legs. many cub fans are mocking me saying we are the repeat of the '69 Cubs. And sadly im starting to be scared that something like that can happen. When does Pods come back? september 1st

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:03 PM) LOL ok did he really say this guys or is this a joke?? no he said that

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) Go to soxfest this is what you will hear. This INSERT YEAR HERE Whitesox team is the best team that I have seen here yet. INSERT STRATEGY/SMARTBALL/POWER/COMBO is the reason we will be sucessfull. Kenny Williams is the smartest man in baseball. INSERT YEAR HERE is the best Soxfest yet. Trust me I know but this year is defiantly the worse I mean crede over A-rod

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 10:56 PM) Normally, that is true. But Hawk has become like a senile grandma right now who only cheers for her kid (even though she's naive to the fact that maybe he's not the best player), and blames the umpire for every close call that doesn't go their way. I have noticed this and my respect for hawk is slowly droping he is in love with this team to much.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 18, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) Ronald secretly posts as SoxFan1 on soxtalk.com. LMFAO!!!

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 10:42 PM) the sheer fact that this team was 74-40 when pods was in the lineup or whatever nad 0-5 since or whatever other numbers you wanna throw out at me is fine. this is what i mean when i say the fans overrate podesdnik. he sure is a catalyst for our offense. unquestionably. but what people tend to forget is when we had the big boppers, remember when our pitching staff was 10th in teh AL. we are now tops, or damn near close to it. yes podsednik is a big part of our O. but think of it like this in terms of basketball, since its easier to quantify than baseball.......... a team of five scores 100 points, each scoring 20 points. they win alot 100-95. but one of the five gets injured, and hte back up only scores 10 a game. now you lose 95-90. so yes, hes important, but is he the only reason the team kept winning 100-95? no, the contributions of the others are equally important. i hate to have to explain it like that, but to be honest thats really the only way i can say what i understnad in my own head. at any rate i love podsednik and that trade with mil. was incredible for us, because it also got us AJ and Tad. i just feel fans have a tendancy to give him sole credit for being 34 games over before he left, when the improved pitching staff deserves more credit IMO sorry for the lengthy post I agree with parts of that. Pods dosent affect the pitching staff that is half the reason we are this good. But pods got on base alot making people swing for the basehit. With him gone most player are coming up with the bases empty so im guessing they just guess well ill hit the homer and boost my stats had pods been on bat thye would be swinging for the basehit. If this team would just switch out of the homerun mentalitly everything would be fine.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 10:29 PM) fathom i have to agree with you and i hate to say this, cuz i know how many people are gonna take offense to what i am about to say and slam me and call me probably everything from a pessimist to a cub-lover, but scott podsednik may be the most overrated player by the fans (by the fans key phrase) ive seen on this team in a long long time White sox record since the last time pods played 0-5 White sox record before 74-40

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 10:26 PM) Well, if Pods is that mighty, we might as well make him President of the United States. If we're expecting things to get better just cause Pods returns to this team, we're definitely desperate. PODS FOR PREZ

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 10:23 PM) This is so much more than Podsednik. Will Podsednik make our left side of the infield get a hit? Will Podsednik get Dye's head out of his ass? Will Podsednik allow Rowand to hit right handed pitching? Will Podsednik help our defense from costly mishaps? Will Podsednik allow Ozzie to get a better handle on when to pull starting pitchers? Will Podsednik help our starting pitcher avoid the big inning? No but podsednik could wake this team up which would fix all of those probelms except maybe ozzie decsions pitching wise.

QUOTE(SouthSidePride05 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 10:21 PM) This really shows how much Podsednik helped the team in the first half... when he was 100%. Every time he got on base, he distracted the pitcher, no matter who was on the mound. Iguchi was solid throughout the entire first half, mainly because he was batting on a distracted pitcher... and that's what sparked the offense. When's his first day back? We need him bad! september 1st from what im hearing
