Jon Garland, VERY solid against one of the best hitting teams in baseball...Lets hold this one and let JonnyG get to 8-0

QUOTE(1549 @ May 16, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) I'm bored...why not? At my dad's suggestion I downloaded the song "Return of the Native" by Fever Tree. It is pretty awesome. I've been listening to a lot of Piebald, Jimmy Eat World, and Ben Folds lately. Top 10 songs on my play list right now: Ben Folds: Army Ben Folds Five: Brick Ben Folds: There's Always someone cooler than you Jimmy Eat World: Sweetness Jimmy Eat World: Get it Faster Piebald: Fear and Loathing on Cape Cod Piebald: Fat and Skinny Asses The Mars Volta: Wasting my Air The Strokes: Reptilia Louis XIV: Finding out True Love is blind Not much new stuff, but mostly songs that I am getting into again Reptilla...much love for The Strokes. Right now I'd have to say the song I'm listening to the most is Hell Yes by Beck....yeah I know, his lyrics are f***ing silly, but I love the sound of that song. Here are some other current favorites: Stockholm Syndrome by Muse Out of My Way by Seether Be Yourself by Audioslave Volcano Girls by Veruca Salt Mono by Courtney Love (you either like her or hate her granted)

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 16, 2005 -> 11:32 PM) I said the same thing about his WHIP. There's no way that El Duque was going to keep going quality start after quality start with a WHIP as high as his. He gives up too many walks and hits and sooner or later they were going to come back and bite him in the ass. Between El Duque and Contreras, we could single handedly set a new record for BBs allowed...f***ing hell...HI! attack the hitters please, quit trying to nitpick them to death.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 16, 2005 -> 11:21 PM) Does any of our hitters besides Iguchi and maybe the catchers deserve love? When in the 2/3 hole, Rowand is as zoned in offensively as anyone we have...with Pods-Gooch-AaRow...thats a VERY solid 1-2-3......only problem is, we have the s***tiest 3-4-5 in the bigs.

When Rowand is in the 2/3 hole, he seems to be on his game offensively...so lets f***ing leave him there. Not like anyone else has stepped up and taken control of the spot.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 16, 2005 -> 11:13 PM) Cruddy is going to be back down to .240 in a week. Book it. Thank you for the foresight, great one!! As if Crede hitting .262 right now is our biggest concern...hey how about we look at the fact that our 3-4-5 hitters are COMBINED hitting .222 coming into tonights game...how can anyone be afraid of the Heart of our order? Lets focus on what the real problem is here....Crede is far from our greatest liability.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 16, 2005 -> 11:07 PM) Cruddy is awful. He is now 1 for 17 in this homestand. He is now batting .262. I just wanted to remind the Crede-supporters. A cold streak after a hot streak...in baseball? That must be the first one EVER!! Give it a break. There are a couple guys that have the right approach at the plate right now, thats it. You could single just about anyone out of this lineup and say they aren't doing their job, so enough of the "I hate (Harris/Crede/Dye/Konerko) so I'm gonna point it out to everyone" bulls*** already.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ May 16, 2005 -> 10:15 PM) CAN WE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD END THIS MISERY AND SEND JOE FOCKING CREDE TO THE BENCH AND GET SOMEONE WHO CAN HIT AT 3B HERE? THIS SO FOCKING SUCKS THE MORON SWINGS ALL THE TIME AT PITCHES LOW AND OUT OF THE ZONE.....NO PITCHER SHOULD EVEN BOTHER THROWING A STRIKE TO MR POP UP SCREW YOU CRUDDY. YOU ARE SO FOCKING USELESS GET VINNY CASTILLA HERE DAMN IT I'll respond to that in the only justifiable way.. Vinny Castilla....made me laugh at least

I'm sorry, but its been quite a while since Garcia has shown me anything at all....he gets a 5-2 lead, and then just looks like anything but a dominant pitcher...sigh

Singleton was one of the nicest guys I've met in person back in 2000. Upstanding guy, did what was asked of him and filled a hole we had at the time admirably.

This is a f***ing stupid argument. Them playing in Cuba is not politically based. Zach de la Rocha and Chris Cornell are NOTHING like each other in terms of political outspoken-ness. Cuba is just one stop on the INTERNATIONAL tour to promote a NEW ALBUM. On the same stage as anti-American protests are held? Thats called the press finding out about something and running it for all its worth to get notoriety. Lets not make more out of something than we should guys. Because of our governments political stance with regards to Cuba, no Audioslave fans in that country are allowed to enjoy the music? Stupid s*** argument, sorry.

Interesting move to say the least, but I think I see the logic behind it. Too bad too, was starting to like watching Lopez play. He'll be back.

When I drove up to Chicago in 2003? from South Carolina for a weekend series against KC, I remember Man Soo laughing and going on with the kids near the pen. Some kids were yelling out the names on the back of the jerseys, and Man Soo looked over and said "Yeah thats me! I'm Carlos Lee! See my jersey?" He kept goin on with them all day. Class act, and a great ambassador for the White Sox and the game of baseball in general.

Aaron has played in every game so far this year. Probably due for a day off

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ May 6, 2005 -> 05:39 PM) It's sad that the former frontman of a great band like Soundgarden is not only a Communist-sympathizer, but a hypocrite as well. :headshake Thats the biggest pile of s*** I've heard in a while. Don't make direct correlations that dont exist. :headshake

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 5, 2005 -> 12:21 PM) Lineups when Frank is back: Against RHP: Pods LF Iguchi 2B Everett RF Thomas DH Konerko 1B Rowand CF Pierzynski C Crede 3B Uribe SS Against LHP: Pods LF Iguchi 2B Thomas DH Konerko 1B Dye RF Rowand CF Pierzynski C Crede 3B Uribe SS Just my two cents. Seems about right, though I'm still not sold on Dye hitting 5th. Thats slowly changing though. Throw in Winde getting the start every 3-4 games, and I'm content with that lineup.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 5, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) Nah..when he tests positive for using a robot to help post for him he'll get a lifetime ban Hehe... wait, is that not allowed??

This is the most listless group of guys I've seen play MLB in quite a while. Maybe thats what happens when you are almost all 33+ years old and financially set no matter what happens on the field.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 5, 2005 -> 09:41 PM) I would say Pedro Lopez. Hmm...would we rather carry a 3rd catcher until AJ's toe is 100%, or keep a backup infielder.

QUOTE(Be Good @ May 5, 2005 -> 09:05 PM) 2005 Sox: Just Keep Winning Jeez our starting pitchy has been ridiculously good. To throw some numbers out there...

QUOTE(Cy Garland @ May 5, 2005 -> 06:58 PM) 7 in a row for the Brew Crew and they are in 2nd place in the NL Central But still only at 14-13...no matter how hard I try, I can't see anyone but St. Louis winning that division when its all said and done.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 5, 2005 -> 08:10 PM) 28 games played thus far. We have won 21 of them. There are 162 games in a baseball season. 162-28 = 134 134/2 = 67 21+67 = 88 If we play .500 baseball for the rest of the season we will win 88 games. I really don't think that wins the division. We're gonna need 90+ to beat out the Twins for the Central Division Title. "I love when you analyze"

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 5, 2005 -> 07:26 PM) MUST WATCH THIS Wow...thats just....wow. At some point during that video I began wondering if he was purposefully sucking so badly... "He passes the ball..he makes the 3" Hehe, that was the other team man...Jesus, that was painful to watch.

Wow...lethargic doesnt even begin to describe the Yankees offense. I guess thats what you get when you have many 33+ year old guys making way too much though. You deserve every bit of grief Steinbrenner.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 5, 2005 -> 07:16 PM) I would have to agree. These ESPN threads are gonna make my head explode. YOUR HEAD A SPLODE!! that is all I have to add, thanks.
