QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 06:18 AM) Here? on SoxTalk?!? [feigns disbelief] The hell you say!! Why next they will be arguing about politics!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 10, 2008 -> 06:10 AM) No, I honestly can say I never wanted them "off the team" and I was never that worried about either of them. I thought Cabrera was a downgrade from Uribe defensively, and his whole whining about the error when he's gotten some pretty favorable scoring all year rubbed me the wrong way, but I was never worried about his slow start. I was never really worried about Swisher either, it was frustrating to watch, but the guy has a track record and he's only 27. People on this board were going way overboard with it and quite frankly it started getting annoying, there were times when I just hit the X and let the panic-fests run their courses for a while. A bit of advice, it has happened here since day one!

Awesome, just awesome. I luv this team!

So Poreda is to AA in a year's time? That is pretty impressive.

QUOTE (quickman @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 05:55 PM) I think its great news, and I am not joking here, but I have heard some clamor from bar talk people that Crede is about to do the same. Again just people talking who claim they have some knowledge. After the winning streak and whipping the Twins, The Danks news, and now this... consider my jeans creamed in.

If this isn't evidence that God loves the Sox right now, I don't know what is.

COME ON! BABY DON'T YOU WANNA GO, BACK TO THAT SAME OLD PLACE... SWEEP HOME CHICAGO!!!!

QUOTE (29andPoplar @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 01:59 PM) Ross ... it's not personal. The whole site knows you're an ump. We know umps will make mistakes, they are human. It happens. However, people are just pointing it out. Dreckman was in fact inconsistent earlier in the game. Everything is personal. Its why people get so impatient with him.

QUOTE (The Beast @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 01:54 PM) Me too. I finally sent an email to Hawk and DJ today about their b****ing, man that felt better. Aren't you the same guy who said emails don't make a difference when people were sending the head of umpires emails?

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 01:33 PM) A lot of guys are talented that never learn that stuff lol. We will see how he progresses into next year but Im not ready to call him a star yet... although he certainly does have that potential. I think it is nitpicking to look at a guy playing in his first major league experience and to talk down about him because of that stuff. He is going to be a legit 5 tool guy. He has a quick bat, excellent glove, good arm, and he can flat out fly. Those things you can't teach. Baserunning you can teach.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 12:17 PM) Not to the extent that Santana did lol, also Gomez still has a little ways to go. He has created too many outs on the basepaths and has some holes in that swing. It won't take him too long to learn that stuff. The kid is hugely talented.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 01:00 PM) and thank god they traded Santana. That Gomez kid is going to haunt us for a long time instead...

Its just another excuse to not talk about important things...

Happy Birthday

The Sox started off the season at 18-20 when they hit their season long losing streak on the 10 game west coast swing, since then they are 18-6.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 27, 2008 -> 01:46 PM) Any other opinions? We need to get this shored up to start to take orders and arrange for tickets. We need to know who would be in for a patio party, and who would be in for group tickets and how many people. At this point we have heard from so few people, should we just all get our own tickets?????

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 05:57 PM) This is from the Sox website ..."The third baseman is the first White Sox player to hit two home runs in back-to-back games since his predecessor, Greg Norton, did it on May 27-28, 1999, against Detroit." Oops, they said it was Ray in the post game show on CSN yesterday...

36-26 +5.5 games season high ten games over .500 six wins in a row vs divisional foes Largest divisional lead in all of baseball 6-0 since Ozzies last rant.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 09:39 AM) regardless we cant give walker credit for the good things and not rip him a bit for the bad things... I have yet to see anyone give him credit for the team average going up very close to 30 points in the last month.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 05:50 AM) Crede's giving Walker credit for the hot streak. Must not be Greg Walker. It interesting because EVERY quote I have heard from the players, coaches, and management have all said that Walker isn't the problem. Even guys like Konerko have talked about how valuable Walker is to them. Its people on the outside who are blaming Walk.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 07:59 AM) Last Sox player to do that was Greg Norton. Only 3 players have done it now in Sox history. Crede now tied with Q in slugging% at .561. I heard it was actually Ray Durham in 1999. Anyways, just for snorts and giggles, Crede is on pace for 37 homers and 104 RBI.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 10:09 AM) Out of people who probably want the gig, though, I think Biden is the best person for the job. You're right about it not delivering a state, but I'm really thinking about VP performance after the election and not performance as a running mate. That's my best guess.

FYI, Sox are 5-0 since Ozzie's last rant, including 21 runs scored in the last 13 offensive innings.

35-26 +4.5 games season high lead in the AL Central season high nine games over .500 50 days in first place
