QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 12:06 AM) Webb and Halsey straight up for Viz. They'll do it. For sure. They might add a pitching machine in too.

Furcal is only know for his speed and strong arm. He has occasional power but doesnt he have injury problems dating back to like 2 years ago? HIs .285 OBP for a lead-off/#2 hitter is sickening. He has 27 SB but I would rather stick with Crede's production and Uribe's defense than Uribe/Furcal.

Steiner...who could the D-Backs want from our pen that is available? Marte is the only one who is expandable I guess but Jizzcan and Shingo pitched well out of the bullpen tonight. They might be the other 2 guys going somewhere. Politte + Hermy = UNTOUCHABLE

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:52 PM) Do you know the combined obp of the first four hitters in the line-up through out the season? Take a look. Pods/Gooch/Carl/PK 363/349/310/358 - You do the math.

I love all the MTV2 shows. Jackass is the all-time greatest. Wild Boyz is hilarious. Then Viva la Bam because Vito is f***ing hilarious. The Milonakis show is funny to. "MY LITTLE SHNUBBY WUBBIE DUBBU BUBBY DOOBIE WOOBY SHCNOOBY WOOBIE BOOBY DOOOBY WUBBIE!"

Damn! That makes my 52 pounder look like bait!

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:47 PM) Because we are always...soxfans. We have a bond, that nobody can take away. See post above...

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 05:55 PM) Brandon will get his first ML win tonite. I'll stake my reputation on it. Man. There gos your reputa........wait.......what reputation!?!?!

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:41 PM) I know I couldn't resist. Be happy to meet up and talk whitesox baseball at anytime. Once we meet in person I am certain we would all get along. Until then its just words in cyberspace. I tell ya bout them geezers always tryin to pick a fight! I'll admt though, I get into a bunch of arguments but then I think about it and realize, "We're all Sox fan! ENJOY THE WIN!" And I forgive everyone.

Well, that turned all warm quickly lol.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:39 PM) You should read this entire article. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=2617 That's a gra tread Qwerty. THow in the hell did they come up with stuff like that? It is funy how they basically conclude more strikeouts = lower ERA but that batters who strikeout are due to be more successful. That whole "ball-in-play" argument was very thoughtful. Nice find.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:36 PM) actaully nobody was arguing with you. I used "we" figuratively as in saying that the posters here at SoxTalk were slightly bickering about the age's of respective fans. Thanks. :headshake

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) That's interesting. Dude c'mon, If your gonna add something to the thread, say something knowledgeable. Yes, I was exxagurating....what? Am I going to be shunned from society? :headshake Rowand44, yes, his numbers are very odd but it attests to the team he plays for. 20 HR and only 39 RBI is funny but his high ass OBP is the funniest. He doesn't get many people on base in front of him.

Are we seriously arguing about the age of fans. You gotta be kidding me. Age is simply a number. Yes, as you progress, you gain knowledge but young ages do not lessen your fandom and knowledge. All this fan/age crap is exactly that, CRAP. A diehard is a diehard no matter what age.

The fact that even this thread, ASKING about massive threads, got to 3 pages makes me laugh.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:28 PM) That's not close. Just the 4BB. I a glad he didn't walk anybody though. Take away walks and I pretty much got it.

Man, I gotta admit, I was skeptical about Jizzcan in the 9th and Shingo the rest of the way but they proved me wrong....great win!

QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) you guys make me sick when you think that just mentioning the playoff is a jinx.. If the team is great which they are they will make the playoffs has nothing to do with any jinx.. you sound alot like cubs fans with the dam curse.. No, talking about the playoffs is not a jinx. To the contrary, predicting when they will clinch IS a jinx. :headshake

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:25 PM) Ugh, who gives a damn when you're hitting 50+ homers and walking 100+ times? I can care less about the strikeouts. He's a top ten offensive player. Maybe even top five. I didn't know he walked so much!?! s***, if thats the case, give them BMac AND PK!

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 06:44 PM) 6 2/3 IP, 8 hits, 5 K, 4 BB, 3 ER I was close as hell. Off by 1/3 IP, 2 hits, 4 BB. I got the 5 K and 3 ER right.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:20 PM) Any chance he could be converted into a 1B? Oh please god! But not really.....WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to many strike-outs for my taste. I'll want him when he gets more RBI's than K's....

Worst.Thread.EVAR!!!!!!!! Please kill it now.

PK Uribe Bullpen Frank BMac What a f***ing win. One of the best and longest of the year. I was extremely skeptical of Jizzcan and Shingo but they proved me wrong. Awesome win! 52 wins b****es!!!

Pretty awesome. We can pretty much expect Iguchi to wake back up and for Garland and Pierzynski to have mediocre months due to the SoxTalk Wallpaper Curse...

Is this Pods' 1st game in CF this season.
