I was out of comission when NCORG or whatever he went by left his board. I followed him, HSC, Steff and.......Baggio? that dude was a great poster is he still around? What was the story with the Hawaiin dude (NCORG) that hung with Reinsdorf and was one of only three poeple to have seen the diminished skills clause. I remember when he called me a teenage punk who had obviously never been in the city of Chicago. I was workign in the Loop at the time and went off on him. Why'd he leave?

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 19, 2009 -> 02:23 PM) I was going to say Pierre Chang's daughter, but that can't be right since we've seen her father before. Yes but Dr. Chang also started this season off with a baby scene which later included Daniel.......... What is Lepdius role in 1977 as he did not flash but maybe it was only the Oceanic 6 that could flash and thus another reason why Ben didn't as well.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 19, 2009 -> 11:25 AM) I guess this shows that Locke is in the present also and not in the past. Seeing as he spoke to the folks that Ben, Sun and Lepidus left behind, I would surmise that you are correct. I am going to go back and watch this season all over again. I am drawing a blank as to Ben being in a hospitla bed..... Lasst night's episode was good but it made me dizzy.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 19, 2009 -> 09:50 AM) Getz played 15 games in LF in 2008 with Charlotte, but that is the sum total of his minor league OF experience. He maybe could become a CF, but, even under the best circumstances, it would take some time to get acclimated. Sorry for not being clearer I did not infer that Getz would move to center instead that he would hit lead-off instead of the buffons that they are trying to force in there.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Mar 19, 2009 -> 09:12 AM) Im guessing it was B&B that roasted this guy? If you call them and start making outlandish claims they will definitely bully you into backing up that claim with some sort of reasoning. And that is usually when people say some duuuuuuumb things That is exactly what happened. The caller claimed that Orton could some better throws than Cutler and they kept yelling, "what throw"....then he got nervous and spouted out the deep ball. It was really funny actually.

I think the team is trying to keep the pressure off of Getz by feeding the media and everyone all kinds of s*** about the pressure he will be under. This spring is only adding ot his confidence and helping him out. On April 6th he will be the first White Sox to step to the plate and Brian Anderson will be in center. The radio talk about Wise and Getz made those guys sound like buffons. Owens and Wise have zero upside. This is not like Swisher last year where he had some sort of success that did not translate. Getz at worst will be Owens and Wise.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 10:03 PM) Some dufus called up the score yesterday and was arguing we didn't need Jay Culter because Kyle did everything better than him. When pressed on what specific QB function Kyle did better, the moron said. He throws the deep ball better. They ripped him up and down the radio for that dumb comment. If you believe that Kyle throws a good deep ball, then you don't watch the games. That was priceless although he was bullied into saying something.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 04:35 PM) That isn't the worse idea, especially if the Sox happened to have another left handed bat for the middle portion of the order. Unfortunately we don't. It would be very unorthodox but I could see some plusses in having Thome up there. The negative of course is that you are taking him out of a lot of potential RBI opportunities. And creating them for Quintin.

If AJ can bat second, why can't Thome? Should a guy get on first and be able to steal or get to second, the shift is out of play.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 04:11 PM) Poor kid just wasted away his best chance of starting in the big leagues. How'd he get on? What'd Wise do?

Thome got down the line there.

Whoever is playing second is a far better player any CF that we have and attempt to lead-off with. This is just stupid.

Wow does Wise suck.

The White Sox need a back-up catcher that can throw runners out. The only guy that has thrown anyone out is Miller. The others are like a combined 0 for 8. Teams are really going to take advantage of this.

I heard yesterday that the Lions are thinking of offering the Number 1 pick for him. Essentially Stafford for Cutler..... With the money that first round picks are guaranteed every year I would trade it every time unless there was a real need when my pick came up.

I hope Pat Quinn gets the call. He is a more true fan than both Daley and Obama.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 18, 2009 -> 08:24 AM) OK, I corrected Carrasco's numbers, and added Roy Williams, so here is the new list: Egbert (6 games): 11 IP, 1.64 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 10/3 K/BB Carrasco (7 games): 10 IP, 5.40 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, 8/3 K/BB Poreda (3 games): 9 IP, 2.00 ERA, 0.67 WHIP, 6/1 K/BB Marquez (3 games): 8.1 IP, 4.32 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 7/2 K/BB Williams (8 games): 8 IP, 0.00 ERA, 0.50 WHIP, 5/2 K/BB Broadway (5 games): 7.2 IP, 5.87 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 7/5 K/BB MacDougal (7 games): 7 IP, 3.86 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 11/5 K/BB Russell (6 games): 6.1 IP, 11.37 ERA, 1.89 WHIP, 7/3 K/BB German (6 games): 6 IP, 6.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 4/1 K/BB Wassermann (6 games): 5 IP, 7.20 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, 5/1 K/BB Though I doubt that Williams is under serious consideration. He hasn't seen the majors since 2005, has a career ERA of 6.68, and was signed to a minor league deal. But he is left handed which the Sox only have one of for sure. I think they take a flyer on him and hope for a career year type of thing. Richard and Poreda can be sent down to start.

This team will NOT lose with Brian Anderson hitting 8th and playing CF 162 games this year. This team WILL lose with Owens/Wise batting lead-off for 100+ games this year. The Sox are looking to fill a need as a lead off hitter with Wise and Owens something Anderson can not do that is the only reason they are around and the sooner they are gone the better. Brian Anderson si the all around better baseball player than the other two who actually has some potential.

Wow the Sox best pitcher gets roasted annually for liking the Cardinals....and the cubs best pticher is a Sox fan....

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 04:33 PM) Lillibridge hasn't even played CF since college and even then he split time between that and SS. How can someone be considered a plus defender at a tough position that he a.) hasn't played in 4 years and b.) never played full time? Yount never played there in his life and won the gold glove the first year he played it. I made all of that up as I only hope for good things and silver linings.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 04:12 PM) we may have to take a look at Lilli in CF here. BA, Wise and Owens all suck. Yep. Anderson is actually playing his way to AAA. Wise has almost assuredly made the team as will Getz and Nix.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 03:05 PM) Watching Floyd hit could be entertaining. They should just take the out and not even have him go out there.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 10:12 AM) Why would someone boo Brian Campbell? His stats are a hair BETTER than they were last year, and our PP is a thousand times better than it has been in well over a decade... The people booing are f***ing idiots. With the money he is making he should be much better defensman. Also Cam Barker has 4 more power play points in thirteen less games. While both have really bad comparative +/- numbers to the rest of the D group.

What or who exactly is Boras advising him with........finding helpful "cousins". The father really should have left that out of the conversation.

Was it stated anywhere how many of all home runs are just enough or lucky? Ernie Banks home run total would be very different if he played for the Dodgers. If Mike Schmidt played for the cubs he would have had 700 for his careeer.
