QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 10:05 AM) Sox put the masses of Soxtalk in charge of them. The whole team would be cut within a week. I'd watch that show just to see the Board Meetings.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 10:02 AM) What about AJ would tell me that he wouldn't help? There all the rumors out there, but he still appears to be a good teammate, I don't think everyone hates him as much as people always like to infer. Would AJ be happy playing 60 games, while Flowers plays 100? Absolutely not. But if AJ kept his normal 120-130 game workload, while Flowers played the rest, I could definitely see AJ helping the kid out, he will be in a contract year anyway. AJ does not seem like the type to train his replacement. Not to me anyway.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 09:53 AM) When he has shown that? Did something happen during spring training? Has AJ ever come out and said I refuse to help this young catcher? What about AJ would tell you that he would help?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 09:25 AM) But what if they traded Paulie, Alexei, and Sale for a package of Bartolo Colon, Derek Jeter, and Jorge Posada! Even if they signed you to lead off and play LF.

The only thing that would make me quit watching games all together is if they announced the team was moving. Other than that I figure bad baseball is better than just about anything else on TV in general.

Is anyone else out there as sad about this as I am? I was about 7 when the program got going, and it has been a part of my life for 30 years now. I even was lucky enough to live on the other side of I-45 from the Johnson Space Center during the early years of the program, and got some very cool exposure to the program that not many other people can say (such as having my hands on a second generation heat tile before they were even being tested). I feel like a part of my childhood is dying.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 08:00 AM) Let's hope that the sample size bias is proven wrong then. Btw, today marks the 4th anniversary of Gavin Floyd's first start with the White Sox. Said anniversary also coincides with the day that shall not be forgotten. The Alamo?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 01:37 AM) I have to initially agree with your friend. But even if she's seriously into you, just remember that if she would cheat on her boyfriend with you, she'll cheat on you at some point as well. Not to mention she is pretty much already cheating on her boyfriend with you.

Zany instruments those Xylophones

Happy Birthday B!!!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 06:57 AM) Oh come one. You can't tell him to stop labeling whole swaths of people with a broad brush. That's his entire schtick. Yeah, you don't want him steal the Dem's schtick!

Welcome to Soxtalk!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 12:48 AM) Like Tim Cowlishaw said today on Around the Horn. Konerko isn't an all-star candidate, he is an MVP candidate. He is a borderline triple crown candidate. How he isn't on the all-star team is embarassing.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 06:53 PM) Thome >>> Rowand It's not even close. Outside of '07, Rowand has been mediocre to bad. The Young trade is the one you're thinking. KW definitely got greedy there. There is nothing about that trade that was bad. Nothing.

So they won't give up anything for him, which means he probably isn't going anywhere.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) U sure, Gameday in the boxscore has 26 for us with men LOB LOB isn't figured like that for the team. If the team gets the bases loaded with no one out, and then proceeds to K in three straight ABs the LOB is 3 for the team, not 9 because only three guys were actually left on base.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) Sorry its actually 26... but yea it counts for every batter, and our team as usually fail for every batter Actually it doesn't.

Ugh.

Well let's see if Teahen has anymore magic...
