Colorado Sox Fan

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 12:10 PM) Singleton just sounds like he is reading still. I still think in a few years more time, he will be a pretty dang good announcer. He sounds much more comfortable, and I like how he won't let Farmer off the hook if he gets him on something. He also seems to know Farmer is a jerk and plays on that. A few years time? That's a joke. Third largest market in the country and the best the defending world champs could do is someone with no experience paired with a fair (at best) color analyst?

With this payroll, there are no excuses for this team. They need to win this thing. I had no idea it was that high.

Ozzie s***s. KW s***s. Jerry s***s. Hawk s***s.

I would take Cleveland's CF and Hafner (but where would he play :-)? ) That's it. I like our club.

From the Tribune: Who will have the biggest season? 10.4% Mark Buehrle (87 responses) 33.2% Joe Crede (277 responses) 22.4% Jermaine Dye (187 responses) 23.2% Paul Konerko (194 responses) 10.8% Jim Thome (90 responses) 835 total responses I think Joe is going to have a great year. I hope he has many more for the Sox.

I think what we lose sight of is how good a hitting team this will be. You don't get to see that much in spring training with so many different lineups and playing so many players. So, they will score a lot of runs and will win lots of high scoring games. The pitching is a concern. But it is for every single team. I sure hope these starters can find it. I will say 88 wins.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 12:04 AM) You just read whatever the f*** you want don't you? Assuming an Erstad injury is no reason to mess with the kid. What is the point of telling him he has a shot at being a starter when he has no chance at all? Seems a bit hypocritical and stupid to me, it has nothing to do with career sabotage or Ozzie being some kind of evil bastard like you make it out to be it has to do with being a hypocrite which Ozzie has proved himself to be with the bulls*** he pulled this spring. He gave him a shot and Anderson proved again that he is clueless at the plate.

Besides Sisco, has anyone who will be with the club in the regular season pitched for the Sox??

And the Sox are ahead 2-1??? Yes!!!

I like the idea of Perez, but the guy got hurt on a home run trot.

The Mack attack will once again be on display all year long for the Sox.

I like it. A lot.

When I first saw this on the ESPN ticker I was shocked, but I get the logic. Replacing him will cost more in the future. As for MB, he needs to show me the second half of last year was an aberration. If he does, then I pay him the going rate.

QUOTE(Jim Spencer @ Feb 28, 2007 -> 06:02 PM) Bobby said he's fine. He said he was to blame for the tightness in his shoulder, because he didn't do enough stretching in the offseason I don't buy it. I'm worried.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 17, 2007 -> 12:50 PM) haha love charlie's gut hangin out - classy Love that roll!!!!! Cracked me up when I first saw it.

Contreras, Jon Garland and Javier Vazquez all should be situated to have solid seasons. Based on what?

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Feb 14, 2007 -> 05:51 PM) So say we go for it all this year and still don't end up with a WS. Next year would you commit to your statement and be willing for the team to not be competitive, and sign mediocre pitching for top dollar? I want to go for it all this year, next year and every year. Maybe everything will work out great and KW will be looked at as a genius again. My main comment is I can't get excited about this team. We've lost quality starting pitching and will again rely on scoring a lot of runs. Maybe the bullpens better and this will compensate...I'm still not sold on the bullpen, either. But, hey, I was pumped about last season after KW's moves and the team faded, maybe this year they'll surprise me. Hope so...........

I don't care about the Cubs comparison. I agree with Rogers. There's nothing in the offseason moves that excites me about this team. Say what you want about Freddy, but he would give us 15 wins. Now we have Vazquez as #4 starter vs. #5 and it's anybody's quess who the #5 is. I just don't see how we're a better team without Garcia and Mac. I don't care about 2008 or 2009. I want to see a world series challenger in 2007. This team doesn't cut it, unless we pick up a starter at the trade deadline.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 26, 2007 -> 07:01 PM) The caption for that pic is weird... To me it looks like he's saying, why the h^^^ does everybody give me so much s###

His stats in September 2006 scare me. Maybe it was just a slump. Maybe. We needed him.

Best: Baines Sac Fly in 83 clinches division title Worst: Sox drop DH to KC in '67 to essential drop out of pennant race

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Dec 7, 2006 -> 11:39 AM) And when Freddy Garcia is on another team in 08 and they didnt make the playoffs. Are they just as overjoyed. They gave up nothing to get a proven starter. I'm sure they're thrilled.

I really, really, really don't understand this trade at all. Garcia for the Phil's bargain bin? This sounds like Kenny was just itching to make any kind of deal.
