I went ahead and re-created the background and cut out the logo and all that s***. If everyone wants to pick some players (or Kal, if you want the psd) let me know and I can throw em on here. Obviously ignore Griffey's head as a player would be in front of it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 12:18 PM) No offense, but I don't think there is much of a comparison between you and Kane athleticly. He just called you fat, Rock.

I've got an idea. Let's change the subject back to winning the Stanley Cup! Also, what's next? It's clear one of Steeger/Sharpie is going to have to go, and I pray it's Versteeg. Also, do the Hawks send Huet to Rockford to give the roster some flexibility or just buy him out outright?

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 03:49 AM) I talked about this a while ago in this thread, but the ending was obvious from the previews alone.. Yes, we agreed on this fact. Let alone when you advertise a "shocking ending you'll be talking about for weeks" you start trying to figure out the Bruce Willis effect.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 08:37 AM) I probably hate Pierce more than anybody on that team, and that's even considering how douchey KG and Rondo both are. Pierce is just so smug IMO. I actually don't mind Pierce. He paid his dues with that team.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 09:04 PM) Why is everyone assuming he was so sloshed. He has a lisp. No he doesn't. He was sloshed. He was hanging over the rails waiting for his chance to speak with his eyes half-closed. I am willing to chalk this up to being 21, but Kaner needs to work a bit on his image, and I'm sure that'll happen as he matures.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 12:33 AM) This. It's f***ing sickening to think that POS Rondo might get 2 rings. Ugh, and he's still so young. Rondo is garbage. Still, the Celts have to win another one in LA. Hopefully the Lakers don't bother putting the yet again injured Bynum in the lineup (ok, Gerry, I was foolish on that one). Also, Ron-Ron is literally the worst clutch player in the sport, imo.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but yes, at this point the organization needs to get Gordon back to making solid contact.

I loved Ozzie through 2009. 2010, I'm over it. He's led Vizquel off and today Andruw Jones in a horrible slump. He doesn't seem to make much sense.

According to Jon Miller, the White Sox threw 8 consecutive complete games in the playoffs in 2005. Lol Oh, and Joe Morgan made the astute point that "starting pitchers are the key to starting games".

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 05:55 PM) This ump is horribly inconsistent. I am glad that MLB Gameday does not manipulate their ball tracking to agree w/ umpire. They have had at least 5-6 pitches that disagreed w/ the umpire. Yes. Inconsistent is exactly how I would describe it.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) Look, I'll talk to her as well. But she's the future spouse of a Sox minor leaguer. It consitutes a personal attack if you throw negative stats at her about him. She and he both know that he's struggling, there's no point in reminding her. You know I wouldn't single you out if it wasn't needed. Jeremy, come on. It's not a personal attack. I have nothing against Bren, and I have nothing against Chase Blackwood the person, just as I'm sure J4L doesn't either. A personal attack would not constitute my posting an OPS figure. That's baseball. We talk baseball here. That's all I got, man.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 04:09 PM) Steve, leave her alone, please. She's calling people ignorant because they can read a stat page, but we better leave her alone? Good call, Jeremy. All I did was point out a White Sox prospects' poor OPS. If that is not allowed at Soxtalk anymore, then we have problems... and I'm aware this is the SLAM forum, but it's a random thread on a White Sox prospect in SLAM so I'll be damned if I won't talk baseball numbers on this website.

QUOTE (girlslikebaseballtoo#26 @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 03:41 PM) it's not like you're the first person who's formed an opinion about him, without knowing anything about him. .532 career minor league OPS.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 12:50 PM) Vizquel is in Venezuela. He'll be back Tuesday in Pittsburgh. I wish he would stay there!

QUOTE (guapotaco @ Jun 12, 2010 -> 03:34 AM) SOX Rockin' the Alomar, Jr sig eh? You truly are an original... and I like it.

I wish we could have just a couple of threads that don't result in Chase Blackwood talk, let alone new threads about him weekly.

Get Him To The Greek was surprisingly funny.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 10:44 PM) Wow, I made the exact same comparison today. Kane's got issues. You would think he could keep it slightly together for this. Nope, has to be drunk every hour he's not on the ice. It was embarrassing, winning the Cup is no excuse for it. He just drank for the previous 24 hours. No one else was nearly that drunk. I was thinking the same thing. He should have kept his s*** together today. Hopefully, the right people have the right talk with him. He wasn't cool today. Not one bit. But I bet he got a lot of ass.

This season sucks, but Alex Rios was a great acquisition.

Thanks to the inbound metra hitting a car in Glen Ellyn right before the Lombard stop, I am not at the rally freaking out right now.

Someone act as if I have been ignoring this type of Sox stuff for awhile due to the Blackhawks. What happened? Did KW pass on Ozney?

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 04:11 PM) Awesome video for the Hawks....Pre Stanley Cup. Yeah, they've been playing that song at Hawks games for about two years now. It's also on the NHL 10 soundtrack.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) Im at work and lazy, sue me b****. Washington is a s***ty street for them to go down, not going to be a lot of room for people to stand. Id suggest the Daley Plaza (but it will be packed). The address is 55 W. Washington (I m pretty sure the north/south streets are clark and dearborn, 1 street east of Lasalle), youd think Id remember seeing as Im there every day. You going to be at the rally tomorrow. PM me for my number.
