QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 10:29 PM) I'm going to go out on a limb here. McCarthy, Tracey, Anderson, Logan Remember how much Ozzie hates it when his young players decide to open their mouths. I agree with your point, but Tracey never opened his mouth. He was apologetic after the game, took the blame and never pointed a finger in public. QUOTE(Brian @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 09:18 PM) So we have no long reliever? Sweet. Guillen doesn't know how to properly use a long reliever anyway. He totally mishandled last year's long reliever, Brandon McCarthy.

How often do they do this promotion?

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 12:03 PM) I did it for one year as well. The people asking for double paper in plastic were the worst. Talk about a pain in the ass. Not as much as pushing carts thru the snow, but it still sucked. Speaking of pushing carts, I saw some automated s*** at Target last week. The kid just hooked the carts together and drove them in. What's up with that?? haha, I've said the same. I developed a dislike for old people while working as a bagger. I took great pleasure in f'ing with the elderly when they accidentally asked for plastic in paper when they really meant paper in plastic. Granny, this doesn't look right, oh that's what you asked for. I also invented fake bags, which consisted of 3-5 bundles of plastic bags dropped into one plastic bag (for weight), with its handles tied in a knot, preventing the customer from seeing what groceries were in that bag (none). Sometimes I would triple bag the knots to make it even more frustrating for the customer. The customer would struggle to open the bag, then discover there was just garbage in the bag. Chaos, you're dead on about those automated cart pushers. How weak. One day in the lot, the other two kids and I talked about the longest train of carts we've ever pushed, and decided to go for a store record. It was a nice summer day so we liked the idea of sitting on our asses waiting for the lot to fill up with carts. After a couple hours, we assembled something like 108 carts. We could have gotten more, but the train was so long that customers couldn't back out of their parking spots. They became upset, so the three of us started to push the train. We could barely move it. So one dude gets his beater car and pushes it while us other two steered it. That was my favorite job ever, and looking back, I can understand why Kevin Spacey's character in American Beauty wanted to go back to a job of his youth.

I wouldn't be surprised if he retired soon.

Ozney's profile does answer one of my questions about what his job details include. He says he's a "hustler" who makes more than $250k.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 11:59 AM) Bonnie Bernstein. Thank you. QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 12:07 PM) it's a hard sound clip to find. My friend who is great at internet searches hasn't uncovered it Yeah, I've been looking too, but I was thinking it was Melissa Stark. During my search, I found Joe Namath drunk with Suze Kolber: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og2Nj6hFGF4 and this dim reporter get Martin Lawrence confused with Eddie Murphy, and overuse the phrase, "star-studded event": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zigoxzH8aY

Who was the sideline reporter who said, "Wow! Two Dicks!"

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 11:16 PM) If I'm correct isn't his oldest son payed for being the team's hispanic traslator? Any which way those boys are set for life. Oh, that's right. I forgot about that.

Why are Guillen's kids in the Sox's dugout during games? Are they unemployed? Have they no life to pursue? What kind of effect do they have on the players during games and during travel?

If the Sox had a manger who could choose the best 25 players available to him, and put each man in the best position, I'd feel hopeful about the 2007 season. Guillen is not good at his job.

QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 03:38 PM) a 12 page thread about a back up catcher? You guys are nuts. BTW, your a fool if your blaming Ozzie for this. I'm sure Hall agreed to play first base instead of been forced into the situation.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 01:10 PM) Erstad should be second actually. Thome's had a little 1B experience too.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Mar 25, 2007 -> 10:35 PM) Kalapse....14,730 posts Ozzie Guillen.....1 World Series Ring Fans managing the white sox from a message board.... Priceless. Do you really believe that Guillen always makes the best managerial decision and that Kalapse always makes the wrong one? QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 25, 2007 -> 10:10 PM) I think it was stupid to play an integral member of the team at a position he's not familiar with. Hell, I got nervous when he had a very awkward stretch in the 6th inning on the first play he was over at 1B. However, it's pointless in getting into this argument with certain people here, because they'll defend Ozzie no matter what. Yep.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 25, 2007 -> 01:44 PM) At Toyota Park (in Bridgeview) on July 28 is the second 'Crossroads' tour headlined by Clapton. I don't believe tickets go on sale until March 31. Several quality performers: Eric Clapton Steve Winwood BB King Willie Nelson Jeff Beck Vince Gil Sheryl Crow Buddy Guy John Mayer Other artists will be announced at a late day. $90 for tickets, but free for me because there's no way I'm avoiding work on this day. Sounds great. Let us know if March 31 is confirmed.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 25, 2007 -> 12:19 PM) I know he's trying to make it the new n word, but is it really acceptable to say? I still see it as a racial slur. Mexican-Americans and immigrants I know or have encountered never, ever call each other that. All the mexicans who work in the kitchen of my building call each other "beaners." It's a term of endearment.

QUOTE(G&T @ Mar 25, 2007 -> 10:11 AM) Danks interview: Only tried to make a good impression in ST and hoped to get called up later. Friendly competition between him, Floyd, and Haeger. They played golf and cards everyday. Never got nervous about the competition. Describes himself as a strike thrower and trying to keep the ball on the ground. Buehrle treated him very well and put him under his wing. Said he's never been treated better by a veteran. Wow, that was basically pointless. Of course they were planning on talking to PK and he canceled, so this was on short notice. Sounds like a confident guy. I like it. I had the same thought upon hearing the interview. Danks reminds me of Brian Anderson in that sense.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 24, 2007 -> 06:45 AM) Gene Honda could say any name, in any language or dialect, and it would sound cool. "And Now, Number 79.......Kim Jong Il!" (crowd goes wild)

QUOTE(Butter Parque @ Mar 23, 2007 -> 01:44 PM) He got claimed on waivers, so there ends that prospect's journey in White Sox Country. What type of waivers? If it's revocable, the Sox can take Tracey off of waivers and keep him in the organization.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 22, 2007 -> 07:24 AM) Maybe this is off topic, but I despise how acceptable DUI is becoming in our country. More and more people are doing it, and nobody seems to give a damn. I'm sorry, but if your dumb enough to drive a car while drunk, maybe you deserve to end up in a single car accident or something. It's not too hard to NOT DRIVE if you get drunk. I'm sure nobody will remember this happened in 2 or 3 weeks though, so it's not really a story long term. Irony?

Close that s***hole down. The whiny, Cub-fan owners can fly a kite.

Peeing on someone's leg is a good way to get punched in the face. Even by a rookie.

QUOTE(HeGone33 @ Mar 18, 2007 -> 01:53 AM) All this talk about the Anderson being so much better at CF than Erstad is confusing me a bit. I look at Erstad's career stats in CF: 454 games 4 errors .997 FP What is so bad about that? I figured this would be a good place to ask this questions since all you know so much more than Ozzie and KW. Maybe I'll send Ozzie a link to this site so hopefully he can realize before 4/2 that he sucks and doesn't know what players to take up north. It's not like the guy ever won a world series. Anyone know KW's email? He doesn't know anything either, how could he give up Carlos Lee, and sign such a clubhouse cancer such as AJ. Crazy just crazy! I'm frustrated by your lack of reasoning skills. Your arguments are so faulty, I wonder if you even believe what you wrote. Since KW and OG are not infallible, it's reasonable for knowledgeable fans to question the sometimes poor KW and OG decisions.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Mar 19, 2007 -> 04:24 PM) I think Chris Young? Yeah, that's the player I'm thinking. I get him confused with Owens.

If Guillen wants to emulate his marlins team, he should demote himself to third-base coach.

What outfield prospect did KW give to Arizona a couple years back?
