QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 2, 2011 -> 09:19 AM) There was years of lawsuits and fighting over everything from insurance claims, to the design of the building. It hasn't been pretty. I wasn't talking about the planning/design and what not. Didn't they break ground in early 2006 and do not have the shell up?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 09:53 PM) Seriously, the show is so incredibly powerful. It just brings the raw emotions back, without of the usual footage of 9/11. It is really good. Why is it taking so long to build tower one? I watch Build it Bigger and it just seems like this project is taking forever. Trump Tower took like four years I thought from the first driving of the caissons until it was opened and Tower One is not that much larger.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 01:19 PM) If i am not mistaken, this is not resodding. This is a completely new natural turf being installed by a different company But it is still sod which will not be given enough time (6 plus months) to take and will come up in clumps like it always does.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 10:04 PM) Which is ironic, because it was being argued that Crain should have been used yesterday instead of Frasor, when we were three runs down instead of two. Being off the following day and the fact he faced one batter over the previous four makes kind of makes a big difference.

sigh....the sore will just not heal or become infected...it just sits there for me to pick at and get pissed off at....... Not pitching Verlander today may haunt them.........

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 11:28 AM) Also, do Harry's laundry and walk his dogs. I don't have a dog he was run over by a car in May

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 10:47 AM) Maybe he should use his brain once in a while. Eh, nevermind, scratch that too. It's just so crazy now seeing Soxtalkers saying numerous times they truly believe Ozzie is putting his own agenda before the team. That thought has crossed my mind too but that would be a banned from baseball offense if proven which of course it can't be. But I really wonder sometimes if that isn't the case. Dan Bernstein on the radio made some compelling points yesterday about that topic.

BALTA can you pull the following information Sox team projected WAR at the start of the season The current White Sox WAR This will give us an indication as to what kind of job guillen is doing and what kind of job he should have been doing.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 02:48 PM) No problem with it...maybe Crain is tired. Also, Ozzie views Frasor as more of a long man right now, and prefers Crain in close spots. It is the 7th inning and Thorton and Crain haven'e pitched in this series other than one batter ugh nice job frasor

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) Wouldn't it be awesome if, instead of making the Marlins trade us someone, we could just make Ozzie take Rios with him to Florida? That would work.

Why frasor again and not crain with the off day tomorrow?

yep rios was the right call...guillen is a fool

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 02:02 PM) There is still time if we can hold them. Now the leash gets shorter for Peavy. that dumbass will give them back in the 4th.

....sigh...really rios over him.......seriously

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 01:50 PM) Mark Buehrle is probably the biggest reason for the 6 man rotation this year. He is probably also been the biggest beneficiary for it. and peavy should have benefited as well. The thing I hear about peavy is he needs work, skipping him does no good. Peavy only has a year left on his deal so Danks can slide into his money. I think Floyd and Quentin go in a deal somewhere. AJ will be the issue

Kinney warming......there is no reason to not make peavy throw 100 pitches today. If you are going to push him in a close game no reason not to push him today. 105 pitches regardless of the score. I doubt this offense is coming back again.

Get ready to tip your cap and hope for the Royals to work some magic this afternoon.

hawkeroo told us last night that jake is getting stronger........

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 12:02 PM) Nowhere does Cowley blame Williams for the relationship souring. He's just saying that Williams is cutting of his nose to spite his face by letting personal stuff dictate getting rid of Guillen. When has Williams ever brought this issue up other than to respond to the ozzie bulls***?

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 31, 2011 -> 12:11 PM) Rios is the better option versus the left-hander. I believe of the three (Pierre, De Aza and rios) rios has the lowest OPS against LHP but sure rios brings those intangibles like lackadaisical play and not knowing how many outs there are with 2 outs in 9th that you just can't teach. There is absolutely no reason to continue to play rios

This whole scenario just goes to show how guillen is not that bright and cowley is not much brighter. cowley is going to get guillen run out of town at the end of the day and any fans that clamored for guillen will have nobody to blame but the guillen/oney/cowley love triangle. The s*** show in Florida would be interesting if Florida had a good team. I like some of the things guillen does and dislike others but in the end I thought he was good for the White Sox. The boy cried wolf maybe one too many times here.

QUOTE (tonyho7476 @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 02:19 PM) Ozzie is sandwiching Rios between the Captain and the Tank so he will see some good pitches. With my Ozzie jersey on tonight, I'm pretty sure Rios is going to go 3 for 4 with a dinger. My pick to Click...RIOS!!!! Rios has zero power. There may be more going on to why his numbers are down but that is purely speculative.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 30, 2011 -> 12:42 PM) He's not proven he's a #1 - maybe a #2, but I think he needs to show more. He's not even the best pitcher on his own team right now. I don't dispute he has performed quite well since virtually the day we traded him, but let's not make him into an ace quite yet. He's pitching to a 3.6 ERA in the year of the pitcher in the National League in a division in which there are zero competent offenses. The Dodgers, Giants and Padres are not good offenses?
