QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) I think Ozzie's image will be tarnished in years to come as Sox seasons fail to live up to this one. Look how quickly things turned around in Florida, for instance. But, when we're removed from whatever valley brings us the end of Ozzie, perhaps a few years down the line, I think he's a shoe-in. Frank will be there as soon as next year, I imagine. Are you EVER positive? EVER? Ozzie just led this team to a World Series victory for the first time in 88 years. Not much could tarnish that.

At least he passed after they won it all. RIP.

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 07:34 PM) thanks for telling us i dont think anyone knew that the sox won the world series.... ^^

http://www.baseballmusings.com/ Yay for backtracking.

Yea, he definetly has to improve strike zone judgement, but he had a similar ratio in 2004, yet had good numbers. That being said, his weaknesses were exploited, and he'll have to adjust.

He didnt, but I think that if he can fix a few holes in his swing, he could definetly put up similar numbers to 2004. We'll see what happens I guess.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 06:25 PM) Rowand was good in 2004, not 2003. But it's not 2004 anymore. Damon has always been a consistently better hitter than Rowand. yea.. good point.. not sure why I wrote 2003. If he put up numbers similar to 2004, I'd take his offense over Damon's anyday.

As of 2004, I'd take Damon's offense over Rowand's too. 2003 Rowand vs Damon is a different matter however. I'd take 2003 Rowand over his current offense anyday. However, for the drastic price different, leadership qualities, and defense, I'd go with Rowand.

I would shoot myself if I ever saw Damon playing for the White Sox in the outfield. His arm is worse than anyone's on this board.

QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 05:12 PM) 4. They didn't play against the angels best pitcher,for long,: roberto colon(injured) 8. A.J. Persinski ran to first when he shouldnt of and got the call. So Cubs fans can't spell? Is that it?

Very nice. Once it gets in stock, I'll likely buy the "World Champs bumper sticker"

My house, with my dad.

you own.

I'm going to order some car stuff soon.. I just need to get around to doing it and finding it online :|

why would we ever do this?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 29, 2005 -> 01:14 AM) Holy s***, the planets are aligning. If Cashman offered Sheff + $$$ for Aaron + Marte -- wow... where do I sign? I believe this is the last year of Sheffield's deal, meaning if it doesn't go well, we can either trade him at the deadline, or let him go. But, he's going to mash the crap out of the ball in the time he is here. Am I the only one who wouldnt touch Sheffield with a ten-foot pole?

Its a sigh of relief. Would be better if I saw "Carroll: Its not someone from the White Sox", but I'll take it either way

and does anyone know that damn song in the background?

If someone leaked something though, wouldnt they have leaked the name along with the story? Wouldnt leaking the name be a bigger story than just leaking the fact that someone uses roids?

My problem is it, wouldnt we know about the player testing positive before the player appealed? Wouldnt they say something like "blah blah tested positive for steroids. its being appealed" At least, isnt that what happened with the Palmeiro situation, or am I off (quite possible)?

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) If you're going to judge based on % of balls hit out of the infied, Geoff Blum should be right at the top of the list. It's dumb to say, oh player X had a bad 10 game stretch. Therefore, he must be off the juice. What player didn't have a bad 10 game stretch during the regular season? good point

I dont think its Pods. He's had good numbers in the post-season due to his plate discipline. Sure, he hit that HR off of Lidge, but if you are sitting on a 95+ MPH fastball, its going to go far.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 04:35 PM) CF Aaron Rowand Signed ($3.25 million) Emerging leader is the symbol for grinder baseball Thats the reason I dont want him moving. He's a true leader for this team :|

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 05:30 PM) Well, if you spent a year trying to get it out of your system...we've seen it happen before where people just fall apart. If anything, I think he might have been off the roids in the playoffs. He had a good year, but his postseason was really pretty bad. He had a great September, yet he looked lost in the post-season.
