QUOTE(Cali @ May 25, 2005 -> 01:11 PM) This thread raises a question, who will the next Sox retired number be? How long into the future will it be before they retire another one? Whenever Frank retires #35 will be the next number to be retired. Guys who could merit consideration in the future include Robin Ventura and Mark Buehrle if he keeps it up.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 25, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) He didn't retire. He was banned. Not Joe, the number silly...

I don't think any of us have seen enough of Erwin Santana to make that comparision.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 25, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) Joe Jackson never had a number. That makes it easy to retire

QUOTE(mreye @ May 25, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) They're expecting 16,000 and I'm the only Soxtalk member? I should get a free T-shirt to wear during the race or something. First of all our company sucks fat ass. Secondly that ought to be a pretty solid course for you to run. It is REAL flat. Go get em!

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ May 25, 2005 -> 12:07 PM) From what I've heard, Koufax was more dominant. MB = Maddux is a better comparison. Consistent, consistent, consistent. Always prepared. Always around the plate. Always solid. What more could you want? I do like the lefty Maddux comparision. That is very solid.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 25, 2005 -> 12:03 PM) The Rowand commercial is pretty bad. I've seen it a few times on CSN, the devil is f***ing annoying. I wasn't going to say anything, but the Rowand commericial was just bad. It took a turn for cartoonish, which the previous ones never had.

That last Iguchi pic is creepy. Damn is he intense!

QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ May 25, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) MB started his career out as a long reliever so I dont have a problem with B Mac going to the bullpen once Hernandez comes back it only makes our bullpen stronger... Mark was also called up in July of 2001 when this team was already dead and buried. Brandon also needs his innings.

QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ May 25, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) I remember Bill Gleason saying that Buehrle is very similar to Sandy Koufax Sandy Koufax? how's that? Everything I have ever read about Sandy, Mark sounds nothing like him.

All the more reason the Cubs need to let this stupid s*** die. Play a tape recording of Harry singing for most games, and then maybe have a few quality guests every now and then. As of now they just look ignornant with the idiots that get up there.

QUOTE(Wedge @ May 25, 2005 -> 11:40 AM) Out of curiousity: suppose we send McCarthy back to AAA after Duque gets back, what happens in September and October? I forgot these rules, but don't the rosters extend to 40-men? How does this affect arbitration eligibility? Thanks in advance. There are a couple of ways around this. If we are way out in front you might see another "injury" to Hernandez, which would allow us to call up Brandon, making both Hernandez and McCarthy eligible for the post season roster.

Awesome. Go Get Em Bull!!!!

QUOTE(Wedge @ May 25, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) Thanks for the insight. Do you see this being a similar hang-up with Ozzie, if the team decides to extend him? Not a chance. Skiles has an agent looking out for him, while Guillens extension will involve just Oz and Kenny.

QUOTE(bulokis @ May 25, 2005 -> 11:29 AM) I agree with you aboz, if McCarthy stays, he should stay in the rotation not in the bullpen. No doubt about it. #1 it takes away our top insurance policy against injury, and #2 it stunts the work that his young arm needs to get him prepared to be a major league starter.

I didn't even know about it... Then again I called off to do mortgage crap so I wouldn't have been there anyway.

I don't like this at all. Brandon needs his innings and regular work. It does him no good for his development if he sits for stretches of 10 days or more like Cotts and Walker are now.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 25, 2005 -> 09:17 AM) Just a guess but I think we will see Ozuna in there tonight and probably tomorrow as well. Washburn is one of those crafty lefty types who can eat Uribe up, at least in his current bad slump state. Good plan. This is perfect day for an Ozuna start.

Happy Birthday to the Soxyiest poster on the board... here is to sending Ross Gload your way... .

Oh yeah. Crawling through your own house window is fun.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ May 24, 2005 -> 05:54 PM) Now I understand why nobody likes Jeff Gordon. He is a complete ass. For some reason, the Cubs pre-game show was on just now and I overheard some of the interview with Jeff Gordon. I don't know why the hell he is in Chicago or at a Cubs game being interviewed. Maybe it has something to do with the whole Gordon Rainbow Warriors thing?

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ May 24, 2005 -> 04:35 PM) Well if we bomb Afghanistan from the skies (and you and I both know collateral damage is going to happen) as a state which harbored a terrorist then we should do the same to Michigan -- if we're truly to follow this fiat to its logical conclusion. And you damn well bet that the militia assisted in getting him the materials to perpetrate the attack. The big, big difference is that the governor of Michigan didn't offer him asylum in exchange for hard currency, and then refuse to turn him over as soon as a crime of mass murder was committed in his behalf. I am pretty sure Michigan, and all of the states that had involvement in this case cooperated to the fullest extent possible. That kind of blows that hypothetical.
