Guys, don't post word for word copies of premium articles from other pages. Summation, thats another thing, but copy and paste is a bad idea.

RIP EM!! Rip those cocky cocksuckers!!

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 02:41 AM) Putting 20 years on the line. Or, at least, having that contract impact our payroll for 20 years. That's just crazy. I too believe that, its just asking way too much for this organization to commit to something like that. Rowand is still servicable, and yes having a down year offensively. Fact is AaRow is a White Sox farm product, willing to do whatever it takes to get this team the W's. He does a very good job patrolling Centerfield. The price we got him locked in for the next 2.5 years, years that he should come into his prime, for $8.5 mill over 3 years. That is NOT alot of money in the MLB market these days, for a guy who is our best defensive outfielder, and most times can hold his own at teh plate.

That contract, in terms of yearly money, doesn't totally scare me off...but that sucker is backloaded with some serious change through the year 2025....20 MORE f***ING YEARS. That contract is quite simply, a financial nightmare. Acquiring Griffey is definately the definition of putting it all on the line to win it all this year.

I would cry like a baby everynight if for some silly reason KW moved AaRow out and put Pods in CF. I'm sorry, but the ONLY reason Pods makes some of the catches he does is because of speed. He has no idea in terms of defensive positioning. And to put him out in charge of teh OF in CF is just, not a good idea.

Indeed...always check Snopes for the win!! Urban Legends page is one I used to read alot while bored at work.

Have only played the first game on default settings, seeing as I'm using my favorite lowly South Carolina Gamecock team. Beat a pretty bad Central Florida team 31-14. Cory Boyd is about unstoppable in this game. I just hand entered all the player info for my team, including incoming freshmen that they didnt have in the game. So far, I'm liking it. Next game is at Georgia, so I expect to be 1-1 after that. Maybe bump it up to All American with the slider settings, we'll see.

Lots like to say he is only average defensively, I guess cause they love to bash the guy. Crede's defense is something that should NOT be questioned. Look at the stats...the guy is a great defensive third baseman, no question. And while I do get agitated at times with him at the plate, swinging Thor's Hammer up there, he came up big tonight, and I hope it continues!

Lets look for The Count of 3 and 2 to go out there and get back to back quality starts for us. He looked VERY sharp last time out, lets give him more than 1 run this time though PLEASE!!

I'll believe in whatever I have to, if it means this Sox team goes deep into the playoffs and the WS!

The back end of this pitching staff... Cotts, Politte, Hermanson, Marte, Vizcaino...I think alot of people overlook what these guys are doing. They are quietly doing their job everytime they are called upon. Sure Viz has been shaky for alot of this year, but seeing Shingo get designated maybe lit the fire under his ass. Our pitching is just incredible, even with The Count of 3 and 2, and El Duque struggling sometimes.

VERY nicely done He Gawn!! Thank you much, I'm sporting it now.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) The sky is falling again, we're losing a game through 6. Season over Ya, I can't believe this team has the audacity to try and lose a game this year!! When does football start?

Duque apparently got some advice from The Count of 3 and 2 before this game.

Lets NOT go get Schmidt and pretend we did. Duque is just fine as a 5th starter thanks. We aren't gonna have 5 20 game winners in the rotation. Its the guys first start after a DL trip....IMO he had great movement on his stuff, was hitting 90+ on the fastball. Thats all we need from him. Lets not go get another pitcher just because Schmidt used to be good.

OK Goldy...I'm callin for you!! You made this one also I'm pretty sure...

f***ing outstanding pitching tonight SO FAR...Marte looked amazingly sharp coming off the DL there...c'mon Hermy...our offense didn't do s***, still on All Star Break....lets win this game

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 08:25 PM) Ask yourself this, Would Podsednik deserve to be in the ASG with his current .289/.363/.337 and 41 SB with the Sox 5 games under .500? No F'n way. You guys are letting the Sox great record cloud your vision. He's 20th out of the 21 qualified LFers in terms of OPS. He's in the middle of the pack in avg, and OBP. -- He's an average at best defensive OFer. Essentially he's a one tool player. He has speed. That's it. That's not an All-Star. Couldn't have said it better myself, unfortunately. Pods is teh product of being the tablesetter for the best team in baseball.

"Attack the player, attack the team, DO NOT attack the poster"

I'll stand on my position that I want NO PART of a trade for Vizquel and/or Schmidt. We have better options in house for BOTH of those players, and at fractions of the cost. At this point in their careers, Uribe > Vizquel in terms of ability. Argue with me if you want, but I'm sorry, Uribe will be just fine. Schmidt as of right now with his status is no better than Duque or The Count of 3 and 2.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 07:45 PM) He really needs to quit walking people. If he can get his control back and throw strikes he'll be just fine. He isn't called The Count of 3 and 2 for nothing Nuke.

Fact remains that: Yes, there were people with better stats who you could argue were more deserving. Yes, there are better all around players that got left out of the game this year while Pods, who excels at 1 area, got in. BUT...those facts don't matter, because Pods won on the fans vote, and he is making a huge impact on the MLBs BEST TEAM. So peopel can say what they want about someone 'deservign' it more than Pods. Fact is, this is how the voting is setup. Don't piss and moan about it when the Yankees don't get 17 players into the All Star game every year. Its all part of the fans being first and foremost in charge of the product they want to see, the way it is SUPPOSED to be.

that is, without a doubt, one of the fastest bans on a "new" member i've ever seen

"Holy Jason Vorhees lives again Batman" on this thread...how in the hell...or WHY in the hell do some of you guys go an find 2 year old threads to bump out of f***ing nowhere...
