QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) im sensing sarcasm here.... Just a little bit...

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 11:50 AM) Yeah, and I bet it's mainly due to being in the NL now. Also pitching in one of the biggest pitchers parks in baseball...

QUOTE(Finkelstein @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) From MLB.com, "After one day of balloting, New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter leads the American League voting by a hair over Chicago White Sox outfielder Scott Podsednik." This was posted today around 10:50am. Hell yeah.... Keep it up guys!!!

QUOTE(Jimenez4MVP @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) Thats whats wrong with the world today.. people are all about suing and getting money.. The camera wasnt even pushed OFF his shoulder.. He just pushed it up, and then they guy put the camera down and Rogers kicked it, which didnt even hit the guy.. He IS milking it.. the Suspension is also too long imo Pushing a camera - 20 games Taking Steroids - 10 games And you can thank the Major League Baseball Players Association for that. :fyou

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 07:28 AM) I'm just glad that i'm on good standing to say.... I TOLD YA SO! SORRY BUT KNOWING THE TRUTH ABOUT RJ "TOO OLD" JOHNSON BACK IN DECEMBER AND NO ONE ELSE WOULD ADMIT IT. And to think almost everything besides me wanted to morgage our entire season on picking up Johnson, thus leaving us with a 3 man rotation at best along with no AJ, Iguchi, Dye, Herminson. Yeah such as good idea... HAHA! This is why i'm so glad that loser turned down a trade here... HAHA! Wow did you break your arm patting yourself on the back there

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 11:00 AM) Exactly. Every time we bring some AAA pitcher up, he sucks out loud and he soon has no more trade value. I have a question. What will everyone here do if Baj comes up and falls flat on his face? The samething we do everyday Pinky... make up ridiculous trade threads.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 10:15 AM) neither one of us, I agree but I am sure the Whitesox know about him. Also have you heard his name in any trade ever? Although you or I do not know about what GM's talk about, the media does suspect things, and his name is NEVER brought up. Like I said before, I think that is because no one talks about the B level prospects in trade speculation. Everyone is too busy talking about Anderson, McCarthy, Sweeney etc. I have a feeling that Baj will end up getting dealt in one of these deals, and will end up on someones 25 man roster by August 1st.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 09:26 AM) This just in: Bobby, the 6'3, 270 pounder from Mission Hills, CA, will be wearing #45. Hmmm he must have taken his waistline to give him that...

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 10:03 AM) We will disagree on this. I just don't think he is all that great. But then again I hate minor league players. I love minor league baseball though. That's the thing, neither one of us have a great idea of what Baj will do at the major league level, because the Sox aren't giving him a chance. I don't know whether Baj will be the next Kevin Walker or the next Keith Foulke. But what I do know is that the kid keeps putting up great numbers at each level of the minor leagues, and has put up better numbers at a higher level than the kid we are calling up now.

So with the 4th of July, the Sox are exactly 81 games into the season, with 81 more to go. The Sox stand with the best record in baseball at 55-26, leading the 2nd place Minnesota Twins by 8 1/2 games. With that in mind, I am curious to see everyones grades on individual players on this team as of today. I have mine in mind, but I want to see what other people think.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 2, 2005 -> 02:16 AM) Then why are the Sox always Average/slightly above average every year and never win s***? Dude, God let the Romans kill his kid... I think Sox fans can suffer with being slightly above average

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 05:21 PM) He's still the best color man in the game, IMHO. God how I wish he could take Tim McCarver's seat in October. Or DJ's seat RIGHT NOW!!!

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 08:41 AM) Well I think its very telling that they didn't call him up, its as if to say he can't pitch here, plain and simple the sox don't believe in him like most of the people on this board, but I would love if he is included in a trade because that means that someone will take him and we don't have to give up someone else that has upside. More like the Sox are so enamoured with "stuff" that they are overlooking a guy who might actually be able to "pitch". See also Jose Contreras.

QUOTE(Jimenez4MVP @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 01:41 PM) The reason you go to school is to learn so that you can have a successful job in the future and make money.. Why would you want to go to school when there is a job, with more money than youll make goin to school sitting right there in front of you and all you have to do is play a game.. You dont have to go to class you dont have to do homework, you just play a game and get paid a ton to do it.. f*** school, but thats just me.. I dont see how you can turn down that much money for your job to be playing a game.. makes no sense, school is overrated as it is.. After I read that point, you pretty much just proved my point without trying.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 11:03 PM) I'm waiting on confirmation for this. No releases from the Barons or the Sox. I'm almost hoping for Baj to get traded to get a shot. I'm willing to bet if we do make a deal that he is involved, if this Jenks thing is true. I agree 100%, as much as I would hate to lose Jeff, he deserves a real chance to pitch at the big league level. If the Sox aren't going to give it to him, they need to send him somewhere that will.

Bastards, this should have been Baj's call up. :fyou What more does the guy need to do to get a chance at the bigs? Hopefully he gets included in one of the deadline deals so that he can go somewhere that is willing to give him a real chance.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 06:13 PM) And before him, Reagan and Rumsfeld (not to mention US multinationals) Plus the US knew about many of the illicit oil sales -- so if they wanted to do something about that they could have. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/02/02/iraq.oil.smuggle/ Documents obtained by CNN reveal the United States knew about, and even condoned, embargo-breaking oil sales by Saddam Hussein's regime, and did so to shore up alliances with Iraq's neighbors. The oil trade with countries such as Turkey and Jordan appears to have been an open secret inside the U.S. government and the United Nations for years. The unclassified State Department documents sent to congressional committees with oversight of U.S. foreign policy divulge that the United States deemed such sales to be in the "national interest," even though they generated billions of dollars in unmonitored revenue for Saddam's regime. Which is the only country to procecute people for their involvement in the illegal sales to Saddam?
