QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 08:18 AM) Regarding Contreras.... What the hell takes him so long to hook up with AJ for?? I mean s*** it's like theres 15-25 seconds between every pitch. Slows down the game for everyone... He keeps wanting to call the same pitch over and over (the splitter) and AJ won't let him. That's why he kept shaking him off. AJ was making him throw a bigger variety of pitches, which is probably what kept him from getting shelled. Normally he falls in love with the splitter then goes to the fastball when that doesn't work. Last night he mixed in curves and changes, along with that drop down motion curve.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:32 AM) Thanks to those hair plugs.. the ladies loooooove him. Probably more like, thanks to the $8 million a year

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:15 AM) Not pk though Konerko is probably one of their two best sellers right now.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:10 AM) I realize this. But out of all the diversity in the locker room why market just one part? Dig a little deeper. All of those players are signed long term or have their rights owned by this team for a few years.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 12:36 AM) Still haven't gotten my box yet... /perv interpretation

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:01 AM) The Sox have to be one of the more diverse teams in the league. They are the only team in professional sports that has a minority for a coach/manager and a GM. Plus their lockerroom is a virtual UN of players. Off the top of my head there is the USA, Venezuela, Cuba, Japan, Domican Republic right now, not to mention Panama and Mexico last year, all being represented in 25 men.

QUOTE(MurcieOne @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 11:50 PM) Im going to the draft day special at the cadillac room... if i meet Rex Grossman... i think i might be put in jail for awhile for stalking him, so please remember me fondly before i get my s*** pushed in. Whack a child molester for me

Nice You can thank me later

QUOTE(winodj @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 12:40 AM) Funny you should mention that, when there was a period of time when there was a perceived threat from Iraq that was more realistic than the one we were fed two years ago, Clinton wanted to act in Iraq. But Republicans were literally more concerned about who was blowing the President rather than the possibility of getting blown up. When it comes to foreign policy these days, responsibilty lies in both houses (President and Congress) more often than not, especially in situations of action rather than diplomacy. And all I'm saying about Dick Cheney is that if the flip flop fits... But I thought changing your mind was good and a sign of intelligence? Damn I need a scorecard to keep up.

I knew you would land on your feet EJ

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 11:16 PM) What do you guys think Frank wants more? 500 home runs and the Hall of Fame, or a World Series ring? I think it's a pretty tough question myself. World Series Ring= 95% of the vote on the first HOF ballot.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 10:00 PM) Crede's defense was spectacular tonight. Crede'sD=White Sox winner. If he isn't at 3B tonight and someone like Ozuna is, we don't win this game.

So what becomes the complaint du jour now? Crede is hot, and Thunderstruck is back.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 12:26 AM) I can't help it. Some redneck at work was saying it all day and it got stuck in my head. Along with "pour me another one, I'm finished with the other one"

Here is some love for Chicago's true ACE :wub: And just for good measure... MB>Wood :finger Cub fans

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) David Cassidy should be banned I fixed your post.

Vizcaino in.

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 07:40 PM) Those Cubs retards will most likely get a pounding before they get to thier cars. Hopefully they are in their cars right now, as security hopefully threw their stupid asses out.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 06:59 PM) Wow, the Yanks seemed to have responded well to Steinbrenner's message so far. Yanks are up 13-0 on TB in the 2nd inning. Damn, have the Bucs got near the end zone yet?

The ticketholder lost his tickets for at least 2005. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2040064

QUOTE(upnorthsox @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) For many(mostly the older fans) it was definitely part of the equation, that he went over to the scrubs and turned the place into the beer garden it is now stings a little more. Let me ask you this, if a new owner came in now and summararily fired Hawk would it bother you? It depends on what accompanied it. If they came in and doubled the payroll, fire away. If they came in and went Pittsburgh Pirates on us, then I would be pissed. In short, it doesn't matter to me who is in the booth. It matters what is on the field.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 03:31 PM) To those around 30.. was losing HC that big of a deal to you guys..?? I ask this because if it wasn't.. then do you think it's appropriate to still blame that on lack of attention? Most season ticket holders I know are in the 28 to 40 range... Me personally, I don't care that he was fired. I'm as old as you are, and I remember my dad HATED Harry even when he was with the Sox, and I think I just picked that up from him as well. I always thought it was a good thing, especially as he turned into a drunken old fool behind the mike.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 04:52 PM) making the trip up from champaign for tommorow's game. I'm hoping the rain holds off for you guys...

Mr Grand Slam, Robin Ventura.... But out of that group, I would grudgingly say Frank because of his OBP. All though PK seems to be more of a clutch hitter at this point in their careers.
