QUOTE(YASNY @ May 10, 2006 -> 01:00 PM) If I'm not mistaken, this comparison has already been made on this board. Mr. Roeper presents it like an original idea, but I have my doubts. funny that you mention that because i emailed him calling him and Comcast Sports Nets "luke a like" an unorginal hack with regards to that statement and I received a response from Richard Roeper, informing me he has "written 3,000 columns, 500 magazine articles and six books. i don't troll the internet looking for items to steal." So apparently he is above trolling and that was an orginal thought :rolly and also i used the wrong form of your, its you're an unoriginal hack and not your an unoriginal hack in my email, woops.

My Guess for tonight 9IP / 0BB / 27K / 0 ER. A perfect game.

nice, Palehose six FTW

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:25 AM) Iguchi is benefitting from having murderers row behind him. I've begun to seriously question if the white sox could become murderers row 2k6. Scott Podsednik is now batting .268, last year he finished with .290, and i would'nt be supprised if in a week or two hes batting .300 or just under. Iguchi in '04 Batted .333 and this is now his second time around the AL hes currently batting .325. Jim Thome is a career .282 hitter, but looks to be in the best shape of his life at 35 and is currently batting .321 even with that crazy shift on him. Paul Konerko is a traditonaly a slow starter and a career .281 hitter, but as of now hes batting .331. Jermaine Dye has always seemed to be bitten by the injury bug and never truly given the chance to excel for one reason or another, in '99 he batted .294 and in '00 he batted .321 both in Kansas City, Dye is a career .273 hitter, and this season hes batting .325. AJP is currently batting .323 but has a career .288 avg and isn't being asked to hit for power. Joe Crede has never lived up to his potential at the plate but since he came back from the DL last season hes been on fire and i too truly believe he has turned the corner he is currently batting .330. I think there are a few reasons as to why they will continue this torrid pace IMO. 1.) The batting order goes L-R-L-R-R-L-R 2.) Each one of them affords the other a level protection that is unprecedented. Once Pods is on base, hes in the pitchers head even if he doesn't steal, Iguchi gets a steady diet of fastballs because they need to get it to the plate so podsednik can't steal and they can't afford to use to many breaking pitches for fear of a wild pitch, plus thome is right behind him. this occurs all through out the line up 1-7. 3.) The preasure is off, they're already world champions, the cell is rocking, and the "chemistry" is there.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2006 -> 07:13 AM) I actually had to stop and think a little bit before I answered this. I'll admit my first thought was to come on here and just tear this whole thing apart in a blazing flame job. Then the more I thought about it, if you didn't get the original post, you probably wouldn't get this either, but I also wanted to explain something that other people should understand. You used the term moral compass like a term of derision. Something you completely missed is that the admins/mods of a good website are exactly that. Especially in a situtation where you expect more out of an individual poster, good leadership steps to the plate and does something to rectify the situation. Now I now my answer should have been a little bit less bitter, and I will freely admit that. But the point of the post stands, the attacks were questionable at best. I have seen people trying to justify them by the kids attitude and the way he posed his question etc, but on the flip side of things, the guy has eight posts, and obviously has no idea of Soxtalk etiquette, so what happens? Instead of someone explaining to him what he should be doing, they rip the kid apart. Then to top it off, when all of the people who were yelling so loudly about everything were proven completely and 100% wrong, only one person had the moxie to apologize. Now many of the people who were chirping the loudest, I don't expect anything from, as they have demonstrated nothing that would indicate they would have the decency to look themselves in the mirror and admit a mistake in the first place, so why would they in this situation, right? But others I was extremely disappointed in. Some people you just expect more from. As a matter of a fact, you would expect them to be a sort of moral compass. Someone to help out new people, and be man enough to admit when they are wrong, not to further add to the embarassment by acting like they are above common decency. Another big problem here is that I know of people personally through emails and PMs who refuse to post any new info because of threads exactly like this. Egotisitcal people is a rush to look better than someone else overreact to a situation, and immediately attack the messenger. This has led to more than a few of our "inside" sources either quitting the site, or just not posting anything edgy anymore. The funny thing is that the losers in these situations are all of the same people who are causing this problem in the first place. If you don't believe me take a look around at the people who aren't posting here anymore, and the disappearence of minor league posters and "breaking" news from certian posters anymore, then add it all up yourself. One definate problem here, is this whole clique mentality that has developed here lately, sucks. Its like you have to be a part of the "group" or you are no one. If your opinion doesn't conform, you are driven off as somekind of outcast or idiot, which has become very reminisent of a situation that many of our posters fled other places on the internet. Many days and threads turn out like a bad teen movie with all of the little princesses fighting over who is the prom queen. Well girls, I am here to tell you that you are all snobs. Call me the moral compass, and damn it I am proud of that. I want Soxtalk to be a FREE and OPEN exchange of information and ideas. I want Soxtalk to be a place where someone new can come and fit in, just as well as someone who has been here since day one. I don't want a situation where just because someone has a lot of posts, they can label and deride someone just because. Part of my role as an administrator at Soxtalk is to make a situation here where exactly the ideal situations for member are occuring, and sometimes that means being a moral compass. When I see a situation where I can educate someone on being a better poster, I'll will take that chance, because in the long run, it is for the good of the site as a whole. I don't regret calling out people at all for this. People needed to hear how they were acting, and if they chose to ignore the feedback they are getting, from MANY more people than just me, well that is up to them. its posts like this, that make me happy i left a certain other "sox fan" site . Kudos to you and soxtalk for steping up to the plate and not making this an elitist post count site.

that game is ova, McCarthy looked sharp. Vazquez was filthy

GO SOX!

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 5, 2006 -> 09:32 PM) No matter how many disagree, I'm with you. Those that play baseball or have played baseball on a team know that relievers just feel more confident when the job is theirs and they dont have to make up for other people's mistakes. The lead-off walk just set the tone for a bad inning. I am seriously tired of this match-up garbage. Jenks is our closer. Let him close. i agree i think matt has looked solid but the 9th inning is no place for him.
