QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 29, 2009 -> 11:46 AM) Joe Cowley is now reporting that Ozzie is concerned about Thome's heel injury and that it might be more serious than first reported. Thome may be on DL if not better for the start of the Texas series on Friday Thats it im starting the "IF WE SIGN PODS, WE MUST SIGN THE BIG HURT" Petition...Whose with me?!

I don't understand BA is producing and is doing everything he should have been doing in 06. What does Ozzie not like about BA? Is is his atitude? His work ethic? I mean when it comes down to it Wise had his shot and went down in injury. If BA continues to have success there should be no need to bench him.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 23, 2009 -> 05:59 PM) Our gray road uni's are the best jerseys. personally I like the black alternative jerseys that we wear for both home and away. Those are nice...with the sox patch on the right. I think they should make that our official away uniform with black pants/ white stripe. That would be kick ass. That way our players could actually wear white sox on the field, if so they choose. Is it weird that were called the WHITE sox, yet we wear BLACK sox?

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 23, 2009 -> 04:51 PM) So we all know the Sox have changed uniforms once of twice in their history, the current uniform (sans a few minor changes over the years) has remained the same for almost 20 years. Can you foresee them changing them any time soon? If they were to change them, some variation on the 1917-ish era uniforms would be pretty sweet I think... Minus the pinstripe hat, that would be a bit ridiculous haha I hope not! I like what we have. Perhaps maybe new away uniforms couldn't hurt.

Contreras lost his command. He was all over the place tonight. But I don't know what it is about the Sox but for some reason whenever were facing a no name on the mound we can’t hit the guy for the life of us.

I think I am content right now with Anderson in CF but if it comes down to it would you want to give Lillibridge a shot?

two words Nate McLouth :headbang :headbang :headbang

Hey what are the chances if Thome gets hurt that KW will sign the Big Hurt?

Ha the one that got away. Seriously who knew?

Manny's nutz. Thome should finish his career as a Sox or thats what I would like to see. Personally I wouldn't want to be on a team with Manny he's got a huge ego. Thome to me seems more passive and doesn't want to tell Manny no.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 03:59 PM) How about reports of him not returning KW's calls when they were trying to find out how his back was feeling towards the end of last season? I don't remember hearing about that but I'm pretty sure I remember Crede saying last year that he wanted to finish his career here. I don't know why he would avoid KW unless SCOTT BORASS didn't inform him that KW was trying to reach him.

Crede is a great guy. I don't understand why someone would boo him. It's not like he bad mouthed the white sox organization or did anything wrong here. It just came down to how healthy he could stay last season.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 09:13 PM) Oh goodness. It's our personnel. We're a softball team, our best guys are declining and we're counting on some youth to either repeat last year or put up their first good MLB year. Give Walker a top of the order, have him fail - THEN start this thread. im only joking. Its the start of the season hopefully they will come around....hopefully.

I'm tired of watching this team with the type of players we have get nothing done offensively. Seriously can we only score with the long ball?

I think he has the potential it is just a question if he can reach it. I know he's shown in the past that he has some power but realistically I don't think he can do it on a consistent basis. I think our organization feels let down by BA. I believe Ozzie is at the point where he just won't give him another shot not after 2006. If were not using him we should trade him in my opinion but obviously KW thinks he still can contribute and in ways he has with his glove. I still think we should trade him though, I mean what are we waiting for his trade value to go up?

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Mar 8, 2009 -> 07:56 PM) Ha... as I am sure most people that READ this board understand: All I was doing was pointing out that many people's reasoning for hating Ivan is exactly why they treasure AJ. One poster stated as his only reason for not wanting IRod as: "he is an asshole"; which to me was fairly amusing considering his signature could be mistaken AJ billboard; Who if you polled MLB fans would be the consensus #1 jerk in baseball. I am certain I am not the only one finding the paradox amusing. Too bad some fanboys think this means all I want to do is trash their treasured AJ, when that is far from the truth... they just don't get it. Yeah but Pierzynski hasn't hindered this ball club. I still don't understand why everyone hates aj. To me signing Ivan Rodriguez would be like another Orlando Cabrera, complaining and putting himself above the team. I remember a few games where Ivan had more then a few words for our pitchers and the fact that he argues balls and strikes…I can tell he's not someone who belongs on this team. Need I not say more look at the major reasons why we dumped Cabrera.

the guys an asshole so no.

Wow another outfielder nabbed by the Angels. Man its like they target whoever we go after. I don't get why Abreu would sign with them especially if he himself wanted 8 million which is what KW offered. I find that every big name player that doesn't sign with us it makes me feel like people honestly don't think we can contend. Honestly, thats what I love about the Sox! They always prove everyone wrong. We turn forgotten talent into superstars and get Cuban all-stars and we still play good baseball. Why won't someone take a chance with us seriously. Dye did and he got a ring.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok maybe for Felix Hernandez BUT NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 27, 2009 -> 10:04 PM) They signed Kenny Lofton. LOL!

Lets just give them Paulie and call it even. But no way in hell are we to just get figgans in return I would like a little more than that.

if boston wins i'm going to puke. I can't stand them. They are doing what we couldn't do to the Rays which is rallying 8 runs and STAYING ALIVE!! I don't want the Red Sox to win another world series I find their fans just as irritating as Yankee fans except without as many WS rings.

I have no idea when this first aired or if any of you have seen this but its pretty funny.
