  1. I am sorry for the misunderstanding, I don't know if I read it wrong or if the stories I read about it got it wrong. I apologize if this misunderstanding offended anyone(if it did, consider counseling). I am sure I got it mixed up in my head because Kelly Wunsch was the only named player in the mix, and he was the one who spoke about it. Once agains sorry...my bad. I should have checked before I wrote it -Rob Knowles
  2. Barcelo was not a hof player, injuries happen, you can't blame the fact that Barcelo has been injured each of the past three years all on Nardi...every team in the league has injuries, Mariners 6'10 once stud lefty Ryan Anderson, hurt hasn't pitched last 2 years. John Patterson the D'Backs top pitching prospect has mirrored Rauch in his development, bouncing from injuries to poor springs...Brad Lidge a top Houston youngster has had injuries...it's everywhere dude, so don't act like the sox are a freak thing
  3. I am wondering why Dallearo hasn't pitched this spring, I thought that was his new role, but he hasn't pitched in the spring which I found surprising...he sure has a sweet glove though
  4. based on a previous description you gave, it sounds like it would take a while to play a game in MVP baseball because of the pitch power thing, is this correct? And are Barcelo, and Caruso the only minor leaguers in WSB? I think I may just have to rent all 3 games and determine on my own...it's just to close to call, though your descriptions have been helpful
  5. Sports Weekly has us finishing second in the division. One writer in Sports weekly picked the Sox out of the central, and another picked the Sox as the Wild Card...Only time will tell, but a Sports Illustrated reporter during an interview on WFAN(sports talk station here in NY) said that he does not like the sox because they are just a bunch of random players put together, he especially criticized the Sox infield and said the Twinkies could win the division by 20 games. This guy is a retard. :fyou
  6. Does ASB have better minor league rosters, because Barcelo, and Caruso is the worst duo they could have chosen for WSB...I am still unsure of what to get...Sounds like ASB has the best features, and WSB has the best game play any suggestions...Do either have retro jerseys

    2003 vs 1993

    Jackson was the Left fielder by default, he was playing because of Tim Raine's injury, and actually Raines still played a hell of a lot more. So Raines vs. Lee, well, Lee certainly has more power but I think the 2003 Sox would be better suited with Raines(because of an overall lack of speed) and the 1993 Sox would have been better suited with Lee(because power was needed more than extra speed). As for who is a better overall player...Raines. He was a Batting Average, OB%, Stealing threat. Plus "Rock" was one of my favirote players

    Josh Hamilton

    Did he get injured again? Man the kid can't catch a brake
  9. How much is in the will? Streets was a great player, He always seemed to be playing at a pro level in the college game...If memory serves me correctly he had two HUGE catches in the Rose Bowl. I think he caught the td pass following a long Woodson Return...that was a great season, I only made it to one game. It was the victory against Wisconsin, at Camp Randle...Woodson had a big INT in that game. What a season, my favorite game not counting the Rose Bowl was probably Ohio State, after that 21-14 over ND...that was just a fun season
  10. I saw the Hunted...Pretty good, though I was expecting more. I like Del Torro and Tommy Lee Jones but neither was at their best in this movie...still I would recommend it to those of us who like to see knife fights and adventure

    Soxnet

    If I recall, someone over there actually complained about cursing on sn...oh well, we speak the words that are understood world wide...even sox legend Shoeless Joe Jackson asked a cleveland fan if she could spell s***. So I see nothing wrong with a curse every now and then
  12. As a die hard michigan fan, I say go for it...hell while were at it get Marcus Knight too...an all michigan recieving corps except for Booker...and then Next year we can draft Navarre...we already have the A-Train back there, I love this, the Chicago Wolverines. Maybe with some guys that are used to winning the bears will be a little more consistent

    Soxnet

    In the thread about the Soxnet boards, they sad that these boards have become anti-wsi...I can't remember anything anti-wsi...well, until this thread came along anyway...I think both sites have a lot to offer, and for them to rip on Soxnet, and call our opinions stupid is totally uncalled for...but hey, you cant let a few bad apples ruin everything
  14. As a new member I feel so left out of this conversation

    Rauch

    I hope we never make a trade with the cubs, I dont care who its for...there is too much risk involved, at least when you lose a trade with the Pirates it doesn't hurt your revenue, losing a trade to the cubs does hurt your revenue or vise versa

    First US POWS

    This is such a crappy situation, the sad thing is they have no reason to follow the Geneva Convention, afterall this regime is going to die anyways...damn I hate those bastards, and to do that to a woman...s*** this sucks
  17. It wasn't just some guy with a Billy Goat, it was the owner of the Billy Goat cheeseburger place, you know the place that was in the old snl skit with the polish guy saying cheesebuhga...cheesebuhga...cheesebuhga The fact that the curse is derived from a great burger joint adds to the lure of the curse, if you haven't been to the Billy Goat I recommend you go, I haven't been back to the billy goat since I moved to NJ, and I don't remember where they are (I think there is 2 of them) maybe someone on the boards knows

    Rauch

    I think offensively he is better than Olivo, I see Castro as maybe a Javy Lopez guy, and Olivo as like a Jason Varitec guy

    First US POWS

    I was so mad that I made a typo in the above message, I *hate* the Al-Jazeera network, in the message I said i 'have' the Al-Jazeera network...my mistake, i hate it

    First US POWS

    MSNBC on Captured Soldiers I also heard on tv that the images the Arab network showed of the captured and dead soldiers were to gory for U.S. Television...I have the Al-Jazeera network, I don't hate muslims or anything but it has become apparent since 9/11 that this crappy arab network hates americans, it constantly critizices the U.S. and now it is showing no respect for our wounded, f***ing arab tv, probably owned by Saddam himself. I hope whoever owns that network is killed in this war. Damn does this get me pissed off

    Rauch

    Beckett is by far my favorite of the Marlins pitchers. Beckett puts up 9 k's per 9 IP and he doesn't do it by throwing 100, he is 93, 94, he just pitches so damn well at such a young age...If only those damn blisters on his fingers would go away. I think the White Sox should trade Stewart, Paul, Glover, Almonte for Beckett and Ramon Castro. Then have Castro be the starting catcher for everyone but Colon--let Alomar catch Colon. Castro is a guy that could hit 20 HR in full season of work, his defense is good to, but apparently Florida is not big on him because they didn't play him much last year--even with CJ's struggles--and because they got I-Rod, Castro will be sitting on the bench as a 3rd stringer this year, so I say trade for him Imagine Buehrle Colon Garland Beckett Wright
  22. Speaking of Strong arms I think Raul Mondesi has one of the best right now
  23. Was he by any chance Roberto Clemente's nephew? I remember a relative of Celemente was playing, I do not remember though whether or not it was Edgar
  24. Have you played WS2K3? And overall would you say ASB is better than MVP? What about throwback jerseys in MVP? and for pitching do you select the pitch type, then do the power thing?
  25. Yeah right, I am a little Saddam...I said people shouldn't burn flags because it is disrespectful, and punishment should follow it...and you call me a littleSaddam. Forget the fact that I said people can protest and burn pictures of George Bush...I am Little Saddam because I said burning the flag is wrong. It is definately wrong, burning the flag is like taking a crap on a cross, or a grave. It is tainting something with a much higher meaning. John Carlos and Tommie Smith raised the black power sign during the National Anthem, Toni Smith turned sideways during the National Anthem, they did not burn flags in fits of rage... Martin Luther King Jr. didn't burn the flag, he changed what it stands for but he never burned the flag because he was a better man than the pieces of crap that burn flags. He knew that he must sway people to change the meaning of the flag, not destroy it. It is the narrow minded pieces of crap who do things out of hate (like burning a flag) that are unsuccessful. Martin Luther King Jr. was a hero, he accomplished things, those who burn flags accomplish nothing, because they have no way to sway the people. Heroic actions of courage sway people and create change, the spoken word creates change...but burning the flag and stopping traffic only turns people off, by doing this, war protestors will forever damn their cause. In fact the modern protester seems to be a poser...they will never accomplish what they want because they are too dumb to figure out that power is in numbers, especially in a democracy...But war protests currently have no face to show as a hero, nobody that can sway the public with persuasive wording, the modern war protestor blocks off the golden gate bridge (and on occasion falls of the golden gate bridge) creating massive traffic jams, the modern war protestor burns flags, the modern war protestor comes up with poignant sarcastic remarks aimed at our countries leadership...Martin Luther King Jr. would be shaking his head... You say I should grow up, well I don't have to be old to figure out power is in numbers, war protestors can't seem to figure that out
