QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 13, 2010 -> 07:15 PM) If number 2 happens, the Sox are either very lucky or very unlucky. it could be both....maybe someone goes down early (unlucky) then number 2 happens (very lucky). Hope theyre not trying to say Peavys gonna be bad because that just be flat out dumb. Like i said in my OP i wouldnt mind to see Hudson down in AAA for a bit and hope hes lights out down there then trade danks or floyd for a bopper

So I picked up a Fanball baseball magazine to get ready for my fantasy draft and they had about a dozen "early bold predictions" for 2010. Two of them were about the White Sox and they were both positive. Here they were: 1. Alex Rios will be a top 10 outfielder. 2. Daniel Hudson will have a better year than Jake Peavy. once again i got this from the espn white sox board so idk what else was said. what are youre guys thoughts on this? ill change em to.... 1. Alex Rios will be a top 10 outfielder in the AL. and 2 i dont agree with what so ever, I'm hoping this staff stays healthy and if it does barring a trade Hudson will not be given a chance this year. I believe freddy and mark will preform like 3s next year danks and floyd will preform like 2s and jake will preform like an ace......I hope hudson stays in the AAA and is dominate and we make a big trade envolving danks or floyd for another bat down the stretch. Even if that were to happen theres no way Hud has a better year

i belong here too....wheres the other option???

come on now go read all my posts....i refuse to vote till i get a nomination....for anything

we dont have a thumbs up smiley???? thats what you were about to get lol good one

QUOTE (Yoda @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 04:11 PM) I’m right on the borderline between Griffith/Calumet Township. I’m also a student at Purdue so I really don’t have an excuse not to go. I’ll make sure to ask for you and I’ll bring some buddies as well since a good portion of them love pizza and Italian made food. Hell ya man bring all your buddies out!

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 02:57 PM) I'll try and stop in on one of the days I'm on my way to one of the casinos. Also, I recommend that you sell pizza by the slice as well, I think you can make a lot of extra money doing that if you promote it well. Especially if you do something like "$3.50 for a slice of pizza and a can of soda". You might get a lot of people getting a slice on their lunch break from work. Believe me, I have a craving for a slice of pizza once in a while, and it's hard to find places that sells pizza by the slice around here. In fact, the only places by where I work that sells pizza by the slice is Dominick's and this other place further down the road that's not that special, however, some of my co-workers drive 7 miles to this place called Anthony's pizza for their awesome pizza slices on their lunch breaks. Selling pizza by the slice can be a big money draw. Hey, among your normal full-sized pizzas, will you be serving BBQ chicken pizza and BLT pizza? If so, then I'll definitely trek over to your place and try your pizza out. *whispers*... there's this other place near me that has a veal parmesean sandwich, which is freaking orgasmically awesome! You might wanna look into "borrowing the idea". excellent ideas don, ill def run that by the owner. Hmmm as far as your last couple ideas go right now were starting off as a small business but once it starts takin off which i fully plan it to im gonna start adding more menu items and Ill def consider those items...A BLT pizza would be a cheap pizza so i might have that on there from the get go.

thanks mr. eye hope to see ya there

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 01:22 AM) When your business opens.. tell her to stop by, then I'll go over there and straighten her out. Funny thing is.. I might know her if shes a Hammond/Heggy/ES girl. Shes def a hammond and a ES girl, moved to hammond from the ES her freshman year to go to gavit, still parties on the ES. I wouldnt doubt you know her and i wouldnt doubt you have a crush on her/messed around with her, seems like everyone but me has

QUOTE (Yoda @ Feb 4, 2010 -> 12:48 AM) I’ll definitely have to make a stop there. I’m always in support of the little guy and you will be no exception. I’m from the area anyways so making it there will be no problem. Yoda thanks man, make sure to introduce yourself so i know who ya are and if its not busy we can talk sox. Where ya from??

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 11:39 PM) If ya send me a reminder in early July I might be in the area. Ill try man, im gonna be getting a facebook page together for the business once we decide on a name....ill make an event or im sure theres some kind of reminder thing i can use on there to remind me to remind Balta

Hmm I was just checkin in on my thread about the pizza place im opening up and say this soooooooo i figured why not get your opinions on this matter. So Im in love with my best friend, shes cool as hell like shes perfect for me, we listen to the same music, she likes watching sports, she likes just going out and playing basketball or just playing catch, when i met her mentally i was weak and shes made me stronger, we.ve been able to hang out damn near every night for the past 3 years and our convos never stop flowin, my family loves her, we used to play board games with my fam, and every night we give each other a hug and a kiss on the cheek and say i love you or ily. In the past 3 years ive not talked, texted, or IMd with her maybe a total of 30 days. She claims looks isnt big with her, and also she claims I am a good looking man, she claims its all about personality but yet she tells me i have a great personality... Problem obviously is shes not with me because i think there is obvious attraction there and yes i try to get with her....I havent been trying to get with anyone because i believe somethings gonna happen and it occured to me the other day that i havent had sex in over 2 years.......theres times where i just wanna be with someone but i almost feel like shes weighing me down BUT at the same time shes easily been the best friend ive ever had....what do i do???

QUOTE (whitesox07champs @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 06:37 PM) I live in the east side. Let us know when you open it and I will go for sure. Good Luck with everything thanks and thanks to anyone else who reads this thats just lurchin, Ive lived in the area where its at for all my life (albeit im only 22) and ive seen 4 or 5 different businesses fail there so im gonna with a more than likely different approach then all of them and get my name out there as im attempting to do here. All the businesses before in that location lasted no more that a year so thats my short term goal is to make it over a year and then i have confidense that im gonna thrive and my big goal is to be able to open a sit down restaurant (this is only a take out joint). So come on in order your food and while your waitng if were not busy we can talk Sox.

id personally pick up an Italian beef then go next door and pick me up a 6 pack and can it a night

good to see a couple people reply make sure you tell me youre from soxtalk and ill hook it up, whether it be a lil more fries, a lil more beef on the sandwhich, a lil more cheese and toppings on a pizza or maybe ill hook it up with a free drink to my fellow sox fan......also while were on the subject of drinking, there is a liqour store attached my building so grab yourself some grub and a fruit punch or a coke at my place then go next door and get somethin mix in your drink .

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 04:20 PM) a little bit of a drive from 130th to 175th but nothing that im not used to. let me know when you open this place up will do man, im gonna be holding a taste test/opening type party where im gonna sell the italian beef sandwhiches for 2 dollars and get the menu out there sometime in the next month, probably/possibly the 25th/26th/27th og this month, maybe 2 days in a row, ill know by the end of the first night if there will be a night 2. Id love to see ya out there.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 04:06 PM) Im in hegewisch almost every weekend so ill stop by some time, im always up for some new joints to eat at. what streets is this place going to be on? 175th and Columbia. It may be a drive from Hegewisch depending on what way you're coming from but trust me its gonna be worth it. I dont know if youre familiar with Gavit High School but its right down the street from there and if youre not aware of where that is its about a mile and a half away from Purdue Calumet. The pizza is gonna be great, the italian beef is gonna be the best youve ever had, im also toyin around with a seasoned grilled chicken sandwich with a tasty sauce that should be really good.

I'm gonna be opening a little pizza shop in hammond. The location im gonna be at has had many businesses fail in the 22 years ive been in hammond so im hoping this time its different. Its gonna be home to some of the best italian beef sandwiches you'll ever taste. I'm also toyin around with a bunch of other recipes to make this place last. If we got anyone in the Hammond area thats interested in more info ill gladly throw it out there.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jan 30, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) So Damon to RF, and Quentin to DH? LF) Pierre 2B) Beckham DH) Quentin 1B) Konerko RF) Damon C) Pierzynski SS) Ramirez CF) Rios 3B) Teahen Is that the line-up? I do like what ya got there because damon breaks up the righties butttttt.... i think youd see Pierre Damon Q PK Beckham Teahen Rios AJ Lexi and after a while i see Beckham movin up to the 3, whoevers doin better PK or Q in the 4 then the lesser of the 2 in the 5....of course assuming GB does what we all think he can do

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 04:54 PM) Well they did get the 2007 prediction right on the money. love youre avatar, have the plat DVRd just because of stacey kings call. I want Stacey to guest broadcast a sox game with Hawk. "Someone pull Verlander aside and tell him who this kid is" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jmiiR4hjPY...player_embedded for those who havent seen it back to the white sox.......i believe all the points i make are valid, read em.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 11:23 AM) Sorry but I think you are way off here. 1) We don't have a solid bopper DH so you can't factor that into the equation. 2) Lexi is nowhere close to the offensive player Jeter is, that is really a ridiculous statement. 3) CQ did have a great 2008. Let's hope he can stay healthy. 4) Rios has been discussed on this board a ton and I can see both sides of the argument. 5) I sure hope Beckham puts up better numbers than Rios. 6) Pierre is fast. 7) There are at least 10 catchers who are better hitters than AJ so I would not consider him one of the best. 8) PK is probably good for that, but thats in the bottom half of first baseman in baseball. 9) Teahan is not underrated at all here. Most people give him the numbers you state. 10) Kotsay has no business being a full time player, much less a DH. He is not a really good hitter against RHP. He has no pop. He is Erstad all over again. Jones hit 17 hrs sure but a 214 average is awful and I don't see how you can be happy with that. I dont think im way off and youre points prove that. 1. I never factored in a solid bopper 2. I said he was being compared last year to Derek Jeter which i backed up later on with the article on espn that did it 3. we agreed there 4. yes there are 2 sides of the argument but how often does a 29 year old simply fall off so bad after 3 straight years of being a pretty damn good player. 5. I'm talking numbers like Rios put up in 07 .297 24 85 6. Pierre is another guy that there can be an argument both ways but i see no reason why he couldnt put up better numbers than Pods. 7. I prob am wrong here, BUT only 2 full time catcher hit .300 or better AJs 1 and the other won a batting title. yes i know batting average isnt everything buttttttttt it is a big part. 8. PK lead a 79 win team, that got better around him this year, in HR and RBI, just sayin. 9. Maybe im wrong but i coulda sworn ive read a lot of negative comments on teahen. either way i think hes actually gonna be a key part of the offense this year. 10. I've never said i like the platoon we got but you work with what you got, but look at his career splits i know he hasnt even been in a platoon situation in awhile but when he was a full time starter against RHP hes been an above average HITTER i stress hitter because yes like you said he has no pop but against RHP he will get on base and do things with his bat. I wanna wait on Andruw Jones and see what he looks like early on before anything is said, if hes in the kinda shape we were told about who knows what he'll do. He's gonna be playing for a hard ass like he was playing for Bobby Cox and i think Ozzie will get the best hes got out of him.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 07:37 PM) By whom? Pierre is our worst hitter, as of now. It has the potential to be, just as it has the potential to be one of the best in the league. I'd say it's less likely that they would be 2nd worst than one of the best, but with all the question marks we have, it's hard for me to really say. Basically agreed with the rest of your post. http://sports.espn.go.com/fantasy/baseball...ge=jeterramirez

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 06:27 PM) The only team they have with a worse offense than us is Toronto. Really????? I know our offense isnt great but i thought it was at least middle of the pack and getting a solid bopper DH would put us above middle of the pack. I mean I know there are a lot of what ifs but the team has a ton of potential and maybe its because im a sox fan but i think every offensive player on the field has the potential to be an all star except Teahen who is a great hitter in his own and i dont think a lot of people realize that because hes coming from the royals. -Last year Lexi was bein talked about as bein a better offensive player than Derek Jeter. -CQ is healthy, last time he was healthy he was puttin up MVP numbers -If Rios fails like he did the end of last year i will be genuinely shocked, the guy was an all star in 07. I find it hard to believe a guy who hit over .290/.337/.798 the previous 3 years before last and knocked in at least 71 the last 4 is a fluke and is gonna drop off at age 29. -we all know Beckham is the future and the future started last year, i expect him to put up alex rios type numbers -We're all griping about paying Pierre so much when we could have gotten Pods back cheaper and i agree but when you look past finances Pierre is a better option than Pods IMO. Neither are great but both will you what you want on the base paths and its safe to say Pierre is better at causing havoc there. -AJ is one of the best hitting catchers -PK is still good for 25+ HR and 80 RBI -Teahan is wayyyy underrated around here, seems to me like hes being viewed as the worst starter (aside from dh) on the team and having a guy that has played on a horrible team the last couple years which leads me to believe his output will be greater over here. I'll take .270/.330 15 HR 60 RBI out of our "worst hitter" any day of the week. -The DH position as it stands i believe will be 2 different monsters, Kotsay is a a really good hitter against RHP and when hes in there he doesnt give you the normal DH masher but he does give you a good hitter who will get on base and score runs, Jones on the other hand i believe still gives you that all or nothing DH i still believe hes got a ton of pop in his bat and his 17 bombs in 82 games last season seem to agree with me. Im not saying its a great offense but its def not the 2nd worst in the league.

just looked at his contract, have a feeling theres gonna be a lot of no ways. but i know a lot of people talked about a liney for bradley swap what about a liney + spects for fukudome???

With the cubs acquiring Nady, unless they plan on moving Soriano back to 2nd then it looks like Fukudome needs a home. Hes a high obp lefty bat we could use.....thoughts???? if this is a good idea feel free to change the title lol
