Grebeck Fan Club

It's not what they make as much as the fact that it's guaranteed. Look at Belle, for example. He's been out of the game for two years and the Orioles are still paying him. Kong's big money is coming to him whether he improves or not. That's a heckuva union they have.

Loaiza might start the All-Star game. For me, that would be respect enough.

Come on, wasn't it last year or the year before when Torre had the Devil Ray's manager as an all-star coach? Being an all-star coach says nothing about how your team is doing. What is embarrassing is we probably will only have one rep at our game, while the Cubs could have three or four.

1960: the first of 43 consecutive offseasons (and counting) in which die-hard White Sox fans insisted this was our year.

I thought Reed was a CF. Now I know the truth.

It's good to see someone winning in the organization.

He has to be on the 40 man by this offseason. Maybe we'll get him to AA by the end of the season.

Thomas as a household name is dead. I can't believe he's neck and neck with Giambi, who's batting about .180 for the year. The All-Star vote is all about popularity and if you had a good April and May.

I don't really care who's better. The truth is Sosa is a nationally known guy, and Ordonez is a bit of a sleeper. The cork thing really died down in a hurry. People move on very quickly these days.

Stop it with the Bobby Valentine love-fest. How many times has he managed a team to the postseason? One? I see us with a new manager next year, and I see Wally in Charlotte.

Vanderbilt? Talk about the cradle of pitchers. It was USC.

Here's my first post in weeks after not being able to access this site: If Cron was a AAA manager last year, isn't this a major drop for him? I'll pay attention to this younguns, because the big club is crap.

The last time I saw a glimmer of hope we lost two of three to the friggin' Tigers.

If DJ can play SS, why hasn't he? This is similar to the 'why hasn't Frank played any 1B until this week' question.

Hillenbrand has to be glad to move. All he's heard for the past year are trade rumors.

The bottom line's all I watch. It's great for commercial time.

This is a very optimistic bunch. I didn't know that Sox fans had that in 'em.

He should play 1B as much as possible. What can it hurt?

I'm still in denial. A winning streak would cure that.

Garland shutting down one of the best offenses in the league. That was unexpected.

If we're going to suck, we might as well bring up the youngsters. Borchard isn't that young anymore.

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears goes into following this team. Thanks for the list.

I heard a lot in spring training about how hard Frank was working at first base. Why hasn't he played there this year?

Just say no to Bobby V!

What a bizarre thread. Mouton played for us how long? Two years? He's no Darren Jackson.
