QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ May 5, 2009 -> 08:50 PM) Goddamnit. Does Walker even talk to these f***ing guys? Ramirez has been pulling his head out all f***ing year. Go to right field. Keep your head and your ass on the plate. Walker doesnt do anything

Alexei or Alize is garbage

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) Prison Break has been a clusterf*** for about 2 years now, but last Friday's episode was fantastic! Also, my wife and I still watch Harper's Island. It's entertaining crap on the tube with some attractive females. haha I watch harper's island too. I watched one and was like I can't stop now.

There was never a plan A

Lillyflower and Pudsednik

I f***in cant stand him, never have, never will.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 4, 2009 -> 06:32 PM) Hi, my name is Aaron Poreda. You may remember me from such films as i'm a top prospect, who almost made the team in spring, who just threw a five-inning no-hitter, and is a Lefty who tops out at 97. Sooner the kid perfects that slider, the sooner we can get him up here. He's working with Perdew, Correct? Will Perdue is teaching him a slider, wow.

Jose Contreras is guaranteed just one more start, according to manager Ozzie Guillen. Contreras, 0-4 with a 8.31 ERA, will pitch Thursday against the Tigers. If he struggles once again, he will be kicked to the bullpen. But at this point, there isn't a clear choice to replace him in the rotation. Clayton Richard is an option, but not a great one. Stay tuned

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2009 -> 05:51 PM) And that's the 3rd hit-and-run that Lillibridge has blown this year. What an absolute disgraceful piece of s***. could be our starting CF next year! White Sox baseball, catering to career minor league players.

Is there a worse 8-9-1-2 than Pods, Lillyflower, Getz and Nix?

If we get a run, ill be shocked. your pull happy bulls***, aint gonna work tonight, Walker!

QUOTE (chiguy79 @ May 4, 2009 -> 05:45 PM) If we are going to put Pods in RF with s***ty defense wouldn't we be better with Barry Bonds signed to a cheap contract, he can at least hit and draw some walks, would at least make it amusing and not in a look at how bad Pods is amusing. And he is a backup to Thome at DH. Pods is a worthless piece of s*** Put Dergen in RF

Id rather watch this team lose with prospects over Pods, Lillibridge, Contreras etc etc.

Pods should not be anywhere near this team, this team is awful.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:35 PM) "series" is an inside joke(sort of, most posters know it by now) from a thread, and that thread was nominated for thread of the year Ill do more to join the inside circle as we go forward.

I am on my blackberry all day, sorry Im addicted.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:19 PM) I cannot believe you dont understand the reference Did you vote in the "Best threads of 2008" for the Soxtalk awards? I really have no idea what your talking about.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:01 PM) are you seriesly asking us to change that word to the correct spelling? series? Yess, I kuld knot beau more serious

Can we change the subtopic of this thread? That would be SERIOUSLY awesome!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 4, 2009 -> 12:42 PM) You've just diagnosed the main problem (right now) with Carlos Quentin, although nobody seems to have a problem with it, as long as we're winning. The only hitters who have consistently sprayed the ball all over the field have been Konerko and Getz, and AJ, when the mood strikes him, but not consistently, as he'll go through lulls where he'll roll over and pull almost everything to the right side. Dye just is very streaky, but he can hit the ball anywhere when he's going good. Alexei is really pull-happy right now. Corky Miller can't even manage to hit the ball to the right-side of the diamond to advance a runner, but he's never been asked to contribute anything with the bat in his career. I think the biggest concern has to be with Fields, Pods, Ramirez, Anderson and Lillibridge. If they're not power hitters (in the case of Alexei and BA), are they doing enough of the "small ball/fundamental" things to help the team win??? And answer has been pretty muddled or unclear so far. I also noticed that Alexei looked up at the scoreboard right away last night to see if he had been charged with an error. It's a natural tendency for many players, but it's annoying and reminds me of Cabrera from last year. He should be more concerned with hitting at least .260-.280 in order for his power and low OBP to be worth anything to the White Sox this season. The Sox have been home run or naught for 5 years(or so). We have had pretty good pitching to at least save us in some instances. Now, we are stuck with 2 young and getting better kids, one solid foundation, and 2 pitchers who have already had their 9 lives. It is amazing that this management can widdle away so much money and try to sell us on an improved product. I cannot even imagine how we will ruin next offseaon with a ton of money off the books.

8-1 Royals. More to the warning track fly balls by our sox, and Colon gets killed again. Probably a solo homerun in the 7th for us.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 4, 2009 -> 12:28 PM) Fields seems to be another guy who can't hit and won't make it. Do the Sox ever develop players who can actually, you know, play? Was Frank Thomas the last non pitcher to be drafted who hit it big? Crede? I guess Getz is going to turn out to be a good one, like Durham was. I guess we are good at drafting second basemen. Have you seen the White Sox approach at the plate. Pull the ball and fly out, every f***in time. Just for once, can we find someone to get some solid singles!!!

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ May 4, 2009 -> 12:13 PM) I told you mid-last season I thought the White Sox would probably win the division and then get swept in the playoffs. Sorry I was one game off, but I think my projection was pretty damned realistic. 2007 was an easy read for almost anyone. I believe in components of this team, but I'd like for us to approach this season in a different way. I do not see any equity in trying to get in this season by trading away prospects for quick fix 3 month rentals this July. I'm much more interested in developing Beckham, for example, and seeing what other guys like Poreda etc can do at this level this season. Contreras and Colon are anathema to my philosophy about what the White Sox should be doing right now. As I said, this was always a rebuilding year, it's too bad that Ken Williams is dressing it up otherwise. Wish we could trade PK, while he is hitting well.

Whoever is the radio guy for the Bulls puts me to sleep, how about some enthusiasm!
