We at least cut ties with the s*** involved with that trade. The baby bears are still trying to sell their end of it. Oh and the Dustin, Cliff and Cotts on steroids takes this thread to a whole new level of stupid. I find myself confusing them with Eric Gagne all of the time, as all four should be out of baseball. I like the Sox guys though.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 03:15 PM) I'm judging it based on what I see in his approach. He is a better hitter than players we've had on our roster. Andy Gonzalez will meet you outside your work to fight this afternoon. Anyone hear the lovefest on the SCORE this morning. It was pretty cubesque...not that I am complaining.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 03:11 PM) Exhibit A for why it's not a bad thing to lose a lot of games once your season is over, from a competitive standpoint. 2007 could be great season in White Sox history as it caused them to make some changes.....the grindy love fest ended for Pods and Erstad. If Pods had a decent year that year both Quintin and Beckman may not be here as well as Ramirez. Uribe could have stayed at short and two draft picks would not have been had.......

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 6, 2009 -> 03:11 PM) Snelling has some major league time. Larson. Hughes is a good prospect with the Twins. Nice swing by Beckham. I don't what's up with Fields' baserunning this spring...that's 2 silly outs on the basepaths. Now Kroeger. Link looked much better his seond inning. Still getting hit hard?

The White Sox seem to run the bases poorly and have massive defensive lapses as a weakness every year.

Kroeger is going to make this interesting as he can play first.

Nobody on that roster is ever safe......NOBODY........EVER!!!!!!

I got a little ticked at the ending of yesterday's game when Len remarked that the Sox barly pulled it out. As oppoossed tothe seeing eye singles and error that even allowedthe cub to score. Come on. It also seemed that Len and Bob didn't really have much to say about the Sox while Stone and DJ seemd ot cover both teams. Gotta tell ya I like DJ on the radio.

This thread is getting almost as good as those folks that are Bulls fans that wouldn't trade Deng, Gordon or Tyrus Thomas because they are going to be good one of these days. It is a lot easier to replace Forte and a 2nd round pick than it is to get an above average quarterback.

You trade for Moore and send Wiz to Rockford where his salary doesn't count. The Hawks are becoming a cash cow. What are the ramifications of going over the salary cap in hockey?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 12:16 PM) Looks like Life on Mars has been cancelled. Didn't watch it, but i feel for those who did. I always see the first five minutes after Lost and it looks good but I never continued the recording.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 12:38 PM) I'll be honest, when I made this poll, I almost forgot about Desmond. I would have never thought he would be the second most popular guy here. It is the cool accent brother.

Kramer Fonzie and the original AL Sipowitz (spelling drawing a blank) the character that took police drama from Columbo to Ths Shield Larry Sanders, Hank and Artie Thomas Magnum and Johnathan Quail Higgins Red (70's show) Henry Blake/Hawkeye/Trapper also Gonzo both the Muppet drummer and doctor from Trapper John M.D. Quincy the original CSI idea The original Charlie's Angels and Bosley (David Doyle) not to confused with the Mr. Cunningham (Tom Bosley) Mel Sharpells I love chili because of him Big bird and Shuffaloof**us (complete guess on spelling) Benjamin Linus

Funny that my favorites change almost each season. Season 1 Jack Season 2 Mr. Ecko Season 3 Sayid Season 4 Ben Season 5 Ben and Locke Ben somehow makes the show seem real, I can not explain it. Also I hate Hurley.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 10:19 AM) The reason i bring this up is most people here doubt Owens can be more than a slap singles hitter. From what I can see the organization has done well with leadoff hitters that dont hit doubles. If JO can do even a little worse than that storied end of 0607 stretch.... i think he could be at least passable and enough for a winning team. Owens has no power at all. To make up for this he needs a good average (>.300), OBP (>.360) and have a stolen base success rate of > 80%. His problem is that with no power pitchers can challenge him and go right at him. They can pitch him inside and not worry about leaving the ball over the plate because there is nothing that he is going to do to hurt them, hench the weak grounders. Joe Crede struggled with a good slider, as do many MLB hitters. The problem for a pitcher is if you hang that slider Joe can crush it......or pop out on the infield,,,but I digress....with Owens, a pitcher can live with making a mistake because he is unable to make them pay. Alphonso Soriano can not hit good pitching but he makes his money pounding mistakes and destroying bad pitching.

Getting Cutler makes sense.......therefore it is guaranteed to not happen. QB's make WR's better....WR's really can't do much for a QB if the QB sucks.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 12:48 PM) MLB Network is great MLB Network studio stuff is so much better than ESPN.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 28, 2009 -> 09:11 PM) Seriously? Man that changeup was murder on people when he had it working. Good thing he ditched the curveball then and not the change.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 2, 2009 -> 07:04 AM) So how the heck does that make sense for the Sox? Viciedo gets blocked. The Sox add payroll. What the heck happens with Cabrera? I don't buy this stuff for a second. I get the feeling Viciedo is not in their plans at third.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 04:03 PM) Beckham steals 2nd. I want Beckham instead of Getz. Too bad it won't happen. Is it safe to assume that in 2010, 2B is pretty much cemented to Beckham and these guys playing the position this year won't even get a sniff next year? Which leaves a pain in my stomach that we passed on one year of Hudson

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 02:26 PM) I'm not sure any of that is chronologically inconsistent. I took it that Jack had been wanting to get back to the island well before Locke showed up purely for his own benefit, because his life off the island sucked and back on the island he was king s***. However, he did not want to go along with Locke (who was his rival as Island king s***) on another journey of "faith and destiny," believing that he had to for the benefit of the rest. That conflict ("fate vs. probability") is what drove Locke and Jack apart on the Island and it still kept them apart up to that point. Jack only really comes around on this after he thinks Locke is dead and Mrs. Hawking reads him the riot act about having faith; what Ben said to Locke about Jack buying a ticket right away was typical Ben misdirection. Not sure about Sayid, but I'm sure being a badass is like riding a bike . . . I'll bet we learn he got blackmailed back into action. Maybe over something about his "murdered" wife? Anyway, that's my 2 cent take. Who the hell really knows with this show? My problem is Jack is all drugged up on the plane ride when he reads the obit. There is a big break in time from the Locke rerunion tour as we saw it yeaterday until the time he is actually dead/ the obit ran.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 11:38 AM) The show's been extremely predictable lately...but that might be a good thing. BTW, my wife just started watching the show this season. There's nothing more difficult than explaining storylines to someone with no foundation about what's taken place in previous seasons. Mine started watching half way through last season...........I agree with you 100%. Sometimes i think she is watching to annoy me but it is better to watch with someone that knows what is going on to see how deep this show really is which I think she enjoys. Also I am missing a time line thing here. Back last year Jack tells Kate after the alcohol and drugs had taken him over that he had been flying continously to try and crash. This happens after his conversation with Locke and before his death. Also the obit said Bentham died in N.Y. Locke was in L.A. Soemthing doesn't jive there or the final scene was weeks or months after the Locke meetings or Locke does not die in the hanging...... Also Sayid becomes a bad ass again after working for Homes for Hope when he busts Hurley out........ Something ain't working for me.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 06:44 PM) spoiler about appearance of character we will see coming episodes As the island goes back in time everyone can be alive again Locke, Palo, Ethan, Charlie, etc.

QUOTE (tommy @ Feb 25, 2009 -> 02:15 AM) I saw some footage on TV today, Contereras looks in shape. Bartolo isn't too bad, the usual him. I saw the same thing. Contreras looked skinny almost freaky as it looked nothing like him. I agree with Kalapse in that Colon looked like Colon. Seeing the replay of the Anderson catch against the Twins makes me wish Owens and Wise would just go away. If Lillebridge can play center fine but forcing Owens and Wise out makes me ill.
