QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 06:41 AM) A liberal application of WD40 works as well, and shouldn't harm the paint. If you got it, and the time, Jim is right.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Jun 2, 2007 -> 03:40 PM) I didn't know being an uncontrollable maniac equals passion for the game... It doesn't, and I didn't say it did. But getting pissed about a throwing error does.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 01:47 AM) How do you remove a sticker from the trunk of a car without ruining the paint? Is there a chemical I can buy at an auto parts store that would do the job? Heat it with a blow dryer. It melts the glue and comes right off.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 04:03 PM) After the initial altercation, Zambrano was shown walking tothe clubhouse and Barrett remained in the dugout. If they went at it again in the locker room, Barrett went down there to either start something again or apologize and settle him down. Who knows. $50 says Barrett went down to talk more s***.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 03:56 PM) They'll move Zambrano I think. They won't get what they would have got in the offseason, but they could still get something good for him. I'm sure Omar Minaya is on the phone right now. Hopefully someone from the Sox front office is on their way over to s***tyville to give Z a ride over to the south side.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 03:25 PM) If a starter like Verlander can throw 98 consistently, good for them, but I think velocity is kind of overrated for a starter. Locate, change speeds, get guys out. It takes 1 pitch to get a ground out or fly out and 3 pitches to get a strike out. ^^, and it's something Z does more often than not. Any team would love to have him. QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 03:30 PM) Preach on...I may think he's a dick on the field, but he also cares about the game and I think that passion (while it can cause incidents like today's) is something that you can't teach and it truly is an asset. He's a dick off the field, too. But like you said it doesn't matter. Show me production between the lines and I'm happy to send in my $$. I wish our guys had a bit more of a chip on their shoulders.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 03:08 PM) If they could sign him, I'd trade any pitcher on the White Sox for him. In a heartbeat.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 03:04 PM) I was actually hoping Barrett would pop him. And bust his hand on that rock of a noggin. OTOH, nice to see some passion from the players.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 02:56 PM) History has also shown that JR doesn't like to give five-year deals to veteran pitchers, which is the lower end of what Mark could command on the FA market. Given that Zito got 7 years/$126 million this past winter, Mark could easily command 6 years/$90 million. I don't like our chances. Winner.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 01:33 PM) 'Chava'? The Spanish equivalent is Salvador and we call them 'Chava'. Tori? They are calling him Sammy. Does that make any sense at all...??? BTW, How's Cali?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 31, 2007 -> 07:06 PM) Um, don't take this personally, but... Big Pussy Perhaps when he's a 300lb fat ass who wouldn't know loyalty if it slapped him in the face, that nick would be more fitting. However I'm talking about a 11 day old child.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 31, 2007 -> 03:22 PM) Wow, Steff, reading that makes me all the much happier that this organization decided to hand Scotty ~$3 million dollars this winter. Oh please... they've made bigger mistakes than that.

QUOTE(BearSox @ May 31, 2007 -> 03:20 PM) My god, don't remind me... Sorry BearSox. I was just shocked to read that. Is that what was being said up here back then?

QUOTE(BearSox @ Mar 20, 2007 -> 10:48 PM) I have no evidence for Erstad, but have plenty for Pods. 1. He is said to be 100% 2. From what I have heard he has been tearing the cover off the ball (yes, it has been in minor league games though) 3. He has ran without any pain 4. The whole organization thinks he will have a great season, possibly his best ever Also, to all, I have no problem with having doubts and such. Just don't turn your back on this team and jump of the ledge before the season has even started. OK, I hope I get a bit of a pass on this since I was not around when this was posted.... But I was down in AZ for 4 weeks and none of the above was true at that time. edit: 4 weeks not 7.. don't I wish.

Meow, hiss, hiss...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2007 -> 02:27 PM) It is not real-time. I also was amazed how much more clear the views of the maps are now. I can make out patterns in the rock gardens that the people who owned our house before us left. It doesn't look any better from space either, let me tell you! Ok. Then it is likely that someone in my pool is me.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2007 -> 01:46 PM) The Grudge was god awful and a snozefest. I should have listened to my instincts and left early in the movie. The Ring was OK, but there was no real scariness to it. People watched a movie, they died, yawn. Ditto, but we did leave during The Grudge.

Is this real time? I think someone is in my pool...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2007 -> 01:37 PM) A nickname as in a shorten version of a real name? It'll probably be Sal. Right. And I agree. Though a different nickname has been given to this child and it makes no sense. I just want to see if anyone picks it.

First thought at a nickname for a child named Salvatore..?

QUOTE(Wedge @ May 31, 2007 -> 10:59 AM) That's my read on Ozzie at all. Are there any actual rumblings of major changes coming? It seems like if we had a viable bullpen, we'd actually be doing ok. Even worse than the offense, the bullpen has been killing us, especially since the Cubs series. I have been warned, and I am keeping my mouth shut.

QUOTE(mreye @ May 31, 2007 -> 10:59 AM) Oh, great! Now Steff's going to go on a man-hating rant. Just men who can't take care of their business.

No point. Trade them all and start from scratch. I recall saying this after Soxfest.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 31, 2007 -> 10:50 AM) Its one thing to say you're not going to put up with it....its another thing not to put up with it. Its been going on for 130 games now, I wonder when he's going to do something about it. What's he going to do, put the PROFESSIONAL MLB PLAYERS in a time out in the corner...? If anyone thinks he's been silent through this then they haven't been paying attention to Ozzie the last 3.5 years. These "men" need to take some responsibility. Ironically, Oz said the same thing last night. IMO, time for him to start calling the "men" out.
