QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 04:16 PM) Why? Because he's the vice president of the United States.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 04:12 PM) According to? Ozzie has said plenty of times that Brian will bat 9th. IIRC, either Ozzie or Kenny said at SoxFest that Brian would bat 8th and Crede would bat 9th.

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) They will regret not trading Contreras when he had the most value. Mark me down as a Count skeptic. Its nice to see someone else agree with me

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 08:02 AM) Could you please point out where in the Texas hunting code it saids that you have to report hunting accidents to the press, and how long is proper to wait for a news confrence afterwards? I doubt there is something in Texas hunting code, but he's the vice president of the United States. Its not Joe Schmo from around the corner. Anytime something like this happens, its his responsibility to report it right away to the national presses. If he wanted to talk to Whittington's wife and kids first, then thats fine, and he did that. But that doesn't take 18 hours (or however long it was) to do, and it should have been reported to the national press, not just some small newspaper.

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 12:01 PM) No TV whatsoever on Sept 30 for the 11:10 AM game vs. Minny. Damn Golden Gophers. (I wanted to be the first to complain about it this year.) I have tickets for the next game, and might be buying tickets for that game. Depends on if I want to watch the football game or not

QUOTE(pale_hose @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 12:24 PM) Let's here what everyone's ideal batting order would be and why...here's mine: if you disagree, thats cool...go sox! 1) Podsednik: of course our best baserunner and a guy w/.351 obp is hitting 1st 2) Iguchi: will start the season #2, but will move down to 6 or 7 to get more RBI chances 3) Thome: powerful lefty and according to Dusty Baker, who is a complete idiot, you have to go left, right, left in the order 4) Konerko: a great place for our captain 5) Dye: very clinch. posted a lot of k's and low walks, but this year he will be more patient like he was during the playoffs 6) Pierzynski: this guy just rocks 7) Uribe: starts low in the order, but will switch with Iguchi later in the season 8) Crede: could hit either 8 or 9 to get the lineup around. also seems to be fairly clinch 9) Anderson: not expected to do much, but will put up Rowand-like numbers from last year. will meet and probably pass expectations. could switch with Crede or Uribe in the order. You've got it wrong Uribe will start the year second, not Iguchi, and Iguchi will move back up to #2 if Uribe struggles mightely batting second. Even if Uribe didn't bat second, he sure as hell wouldn't bat 7th. It has also been said that Crede will bat 9th if Anderson wins the job, and Anderson would then bat 8th. QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 02:22 PM) We know Brian Anderson was a stud in Triple A. We know he hit 16 or 17 dongs and had 56 rbi's. But can he play? Is the kid for real? Last year in the bigs Anerson was up for 13 games where he had 34 AB's. He hit .176 and had a OBP of .176. He had 2 homers and 3 rbi's. Granted, he is going to be hitting in the 9 spot, and Rowand didn't have his best year at the plate last year, but is he as good at Rowand? Especially in the field? He played 5 games in center last year and had a fielding % of 1.000...That's pretty good, but he only had 7 total chances. In 157 games played in centerfield, A-Row had a fielding % of .992. 3 Errors ALL of last season. All I've heard of Brian Anderson has been good things. Hopefully they are true. He can field, but is he as good at Rowand in the field? He's young, which I like, but he lacks experience and he shows it at the plate. No, we didn't bring him up for his stick and yes he will be batting in the 9 spot where he just has to get the order around, but can he replace Rowand? Plus, Rowand loved it here in Chicago and the fans love him. It was hard to see him go, so I'm a little skeptical about Brian Anderson. What do you think? Tell me what you know and how you feel about Anderson. I like him, but I dont know if he'll fill the shoes of Rowand.... winner

QUOTE(KWs OK for Me @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 11:25 AM) Minnesota, now theres a mistake! Or should that not be in green? GO BADGERS!!! Pfft, we'll beat you guys. Both my parents went to Wisconsin though (my dad as a grad student, my mom as an undergrad), so I can't really full out hate them as I should

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 04:13 PM) Any Big Ten team can beat Michigan if Harris and Abrams are in street clothes. Horton and Sims are good, and I kind of like Coleman, but that's just not enough firepower, especially considering how inconsistent the offensive production of the first two is.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 08:41 PM) Or lying........ Does that include not telling the press that you shot someone in the face until 18 hours after the event? And then not accepting blame for the event until today?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 08:28 PM) Only blowjobs can be considered impeachable. Shooting people, its ok. Getting blowjobs though?! How dare you!

QUOTE(TaylorStSox @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 11:22 AM) Delgado > Thome I would have rather had Delgado. Thome has a higher career OPS, and had a higher OPS in 2004, Thome's last full year healthy. Elaborate?

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 06:29 PM) I still can't get used to this. We are "The" team now. Doesn't mean much. The Cubs were *the* team for many years as well, look at what it got them.

The fact that they are making a movie about it pisses me off. The nation needs to move on from it, and making a movie reminding people of how horrible it was isn't going to help that. Chances are that the movie could lead to American hating people of middle eastern descent just as much, if not more, as when the event really happened. It might be differen for places like Chicago, but I'm willing to bet something like this rises up in New York and possibly here in New Jersey. The fact that September 11th is my birthday sort of makes my opinion a bit biased on this matter, so be warned

Isn't this the exact same thread? My thoughts are the same as I posted in the other thread.

The second you started talking about defense by mentioning Rowand's fielding percentage and amount of errors, I stopped reading.

Smart family members.

So.. what are the odds Minnesota takes out Michigan tonight? I doubt it will happen, mainly because the game is in Michigan, but who knows. I doubted Minnesota would beat MSU and PSU too

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) This one is not exactly eligible, Nixon's head was (actually will be, in a little under 1000 years from now) president of Earth and I do believe this is a discussion on the worst presidents of the United States. Overanalyzing Futurama references..

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 09:42 PM) Matt Leinart [...] Comparison: World Champion Tom Brady You're going to hear a lot from people complaining about this, but I think its a pretty good comparison. Nice job with the other reports as well, should be interesting to read about the other positions as well.

Thread title: "white sox tickets" Thread topic: food at USCF Gotta love it

Holy s*** that sucks

If Aaron was a Yankee, I wouldn't be able to root for him anymore. Happy as hell that trade didn't happen.

I'm assuming most of the talk about trouble for getting tickets would be at home games, because I bought tickets for the season finale in Minnesota last week, and I was able to get 11 rows up from the 1B dugout.

Batting second behind Pods and before Thome and Paulie, Uribe will get many more fastballs than he will later in the order. Since he's a damn good fastball hitter, and did show his patience at the plate at the end of last year, I think he will do a fine job batting second.
