QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 05:05 PM) Not to be a jerk Soxfan, but do you have any first hand recollection of when Griffey was even on the Mariners? You are 15, correct? That would make you 9 or 10 when he was on the Mariners. PS, look at Griffey's stats this year, he may not be the Griffey of old, but when heatlhy, he's outperforming anything in our outfield. Uuum, yes. I have been following baseball since age 6 or 7. I remember Griffey, ARod, and RJ on the M's. Your welcome very much. Age is nothing but a number and is highly overrated. If you would like to question my knowledge because of my age, dont.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 05:05 PM) Yes it is. I love that thing, its pricless. YAP = Youre a Pro but not anyone, youre just a wannabe b****. Thanks. :finger

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 05:03 PM) Let's trade Crede for a Tejada and move Uribe to 3rd. Then trade Konerko for Texiera Hell yeah! Wait.......is "Fair Trades" on????

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) Griffey is not broken down anymore and he has stayed healthy all year. He would be a great acquisition as we need lefthanded power. Rowand is good defensively, not great. he still gets a lot of bad jumps. I am by no means saying he is a bad CFer, just saying he is not great. He may be better suited for the corner OF positions. Griffey is much better than him defensively, no doubt about it. OMFG!!!!!! Stop living in the past man. Griffey is not with the Mariners anymore! You have got to be kidding me. I gotta agree with RockRaines on this one.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:59 PM) Wow. YAP Is your favorite smiley???? What the hell is YAP????

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:58 PM) The key to both of those is not where you put ARow, it's that you're dropping PK. Pretty much. Aaron has been slumping and as far as PK is concerned, HOPEFULLY that 5-6 game he just had gets him on a bit of a tear. We'll have to wait and see through that Cleveland series ot tell. As far as I'm concerned, moving Dye and Carl up and moving PK and Aaron down is the key.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:52 PM) Personally I thought Tad looked fine at the plate against Oakland...as good as anybody we threw up there. Does anyone know where to look for a number of "Productive Outs"? I don't know where to find a listing for that, and a few days ago Hawk/DJ informed us that Tad was leading the league in that category. I think the only way to do that is to add up Sac flies, sac bunts, sac GO's, etc.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:46 PM) I can't tell if anyone gave his lineup order splits, so here they are: Batting BA OBP SLUG HR 2nd 1.000 1.000 2.500 1 3rd .272 .321 .379 1 5th .300 .374 .413 2 6th .256 .302 .344 1 7th .258 .333 .333 8th .500 .500 .500 So it bold down to 2, 5, and 8? Well then, 2nd goes to Gooch, 8th will go between Crede/Uribe, and it seems as f 5th is set for him right? Wrong. He is not batting well enough to drive in runs and get on base at the 5th spot. Put it this way, he would be leading off the 2nd inning a lot then and we don't need automatic outs. I think it should look something like this: W/ Frank: Pods Gooch Frank Dye PK Aaron AJ Crede Uribe W/ Carl: Pods Gooch Dye Carl PK Aaron AJ Crede Uribe

QUOTE(Jake @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:41 PM) The 3 spot is for a high on base percentage guy that hits for power but has decent speed. Typically your best overall hitter. This is also usually a guy who fits into your small ball philosophy. #3 is not a good spot for Frank right now. He keeps getting up in bunting situations and, being Frank, does not bunt. He also loves to strike out in those situations. I say no to Frank in the 3 hole. When Aaron is doing well (and hitting a few more homers) he's perfect for the spot, but right now theres not really anyone made for that spot. Don't forget Tad played in the 3 spot in Japan. I think Dye is meant for the 3 spot right now. He is hitting very well as of late and you can;t complain about his turnaround since the first month and a half...

QUOTE(soxfan3530 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 02:11 PM) for those of you who say you don't want paulie in it why? hes not going to hurt himself swinging for the fences. hes not derrek lee We could only hope... Tell me how on earth PK is deserving? He isn't even deserving of an All-Star spot. My gawsh I'd rather have Timo as an All-Star 1st baseman than PK....at least his hits matter most of the time. :headshake

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 01:12 PM) Sandler is already over-rated in every single aspect of life. :puke Place him and Keanu on the same boat for me, and site the torpedo's. :finger Sandler is the s***. As an actor, under-rated. As a comedian, no.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) Saw. That one was pretty good, Sixth Sense. Saw completely had be punching myself in the mouth. That s*** was too crazy! Marry Poppins also had a shocking ending!

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:32 PM) That might be too much to ask.

Only one I'd be really worried about is Sabathia. Seems we never have success against him. Then of course would be Millwood. As long as he keeps throwing his fastballs right there....

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:31 PM) So you guys are saying you love my idea? Yes!

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:30 PM) Lets use our silent voices. No no no no.....it's "inside" voices! :headshake

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) Then the arguement changes. People who started out by saying that they didn't go because the team wasn't winning is different than saying I don't have a lot of money so I can't go. It doesn't change my POV that a fairweather fan lets the team dictate whether he goes or not. True. Money and Winning/Losing are complete different reasons byt he argued that he shouldnt throw/waste his limited amount of money on a garbage team....TIFWIW.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) Damn...3-6 in the AL lineup...wow. That AL team is just plain scary. The NL isn't bad with Lee and Pujols anchoring it, but the heart of the AL lineup is entirely composed of guys you never want to face. Try 1-7, and 9 lol. Varitek = :puke AJ > Varitek Typical of the home manager Francona to put Damon in the leadoff spot and Roberts 9th instead of 2nd.... :headshake

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) Im watching the hotlist and they are saying that he is now on the Twins! "The Twinkies...and Booney......don't get the job done!" Inspired by your avatar. Anyways, I'm not worried about it. His low average and lack of any offense do not scare me. He is not too much of an upgrade over Rivas, Punto, or anyone else they got. Dont get me wrong, lots of us were calling for Boone on the Sox this past offseason because it is a contract year I beleive but look what he's done. NOTHING.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) In his defense, my dad doesn't remember my name most of the time. My main point is bandwagoner or die-hard. Who cares? Let's fill up the park and root loud for the Sox. I'm sure that makes it much easier for the players to get amped up for a game. Just look at the Expos/Nationals. Playing in front of a full house can make a world of difference. Excellent point. Well said. And DukeNukeEm....I understand where your coming from. I dont have too much money to give out for free either lol. But cant you argue that when a team is down, that is when they really need the fans???

Last year, Rowand deserved the 3 spot. This year, not so much. Ozzie should try him out in the 6th or 7th and see how that does for him. 6th was doing good for him earlier this season IIRC.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) WHY BOTHER TALKING ABOUT IT. THE CHICAGO WHITE SOX WILL NEVER ACQUIRE KEN GRIFFEY, JR! IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! KW IS SATISFIED WITH AROW IN CENTERFIELD, AND SO IS EVERYONE ELSE. THERE WILL NEVER BE A JUNIOR GRIFFEY ON THE WHITE SOX! Prozac! Buddy....relax.

I'm not worried either. He has an excuse for June (SoxTalk Wallpaper) but as far as May and July go, he is losing focus because Ozzie is toying with him playing Willie and Pablo plus he has been a little sore with his back and shoulder I believe. I'm not worried, as a matter of fact, I expect him to go on a tear soon.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 03:12 PM) I think he was kidding, Soxfan1. Anyway. There is no question, it was AJ's homerun. That was one of the best moments in White Sox baseball, ever, not just in this season. I know. I thought the obviousityesness of it would make it.............obvious.
