Personally I would like consistancy like we had with Dave. this Chris boden guy or others suck. Listeners like consistancy for there talk shows. They come to rely on it. Steff, would you think Wills has an out clause in case a play by play gig comes up with the sox? For instance if hawk should bite it one day Wills may be the right guy to take over.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 06:07 PM) Both scenerios. Well your not really helping me.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) Yea.. he'll share the duties with 2 others. Steff Can you elaborate without naming names. What do you mean share with two others? two others with him at the same time, like Bill Melton and someone else, or two otehrs meaning two other hosts splitting the duties on different days.

Is dog day sold out or just the dog area sold out. They can only hold a certain amount of dogs, i think that is what is sold out.

All, just listening to Silvi and Jeff dickersen who is filling in for Carmen today. Dickersen let it slip that Carmen will be working a bit more this summer with his role with the Whitesox. Dickersen said can we mention that? Silvi you mean that Carmen will be doing what Dave Wills did, or that he will be hosting on Comcast? I don't think we can announce anything. Dickersen: Well your his partner you should know, Silvi: I am his radio partner. They quickly jumped out of the converssation because nothing has been announced.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 04:37 AM) Plus willie harris who they supposedly have a lot of interest. Those two for Rob , I will take in a minute. Mackowiak, is a real gritty player who plays every pitch of every inning. I would love it. I will remian consistant that Harris will be gone by the end of spring training.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 04:34 AM) I saw this post at the "other" White Sox fan site... Hmmm, the Pirates. Rob Mackowiak anyone? Mackowiak is better than borchard, why would they give him up?

Is there a gamecast or anything that could track this game?

QUOTE(KWs OK for Me @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) God bless XM radio!! Every game all season! How can XM deliver when no one is broadcasting from either team?

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) I was yelling "no, no" as i saw Cora's arm in motion. Paul's still running. it will take cora a couple of years to figure out what we all know, konerko cannott score from second on a single.

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 4, 2005 -> 03:33 AM) Subtle. Normally you are pretty upfront and blunt, what's with this approach? Thought I would change it up a bit...

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 08:15 PM) Suite Friday, Saturday IIRC 120 or 121 row 3 or 4... I am going friday have room?

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) OK, here is my take on the "tone" of the interview. North asked Reinsdorf if some things couldn't have been handled better re: Fisk. Reinsdorf claimed a certain amount of memory loss on all the details, which IMO is a cop out. Anyway. JR did make sure to praise Fisk but at the same time was pretty blunt about saying the guy was 45 years old when released and just couldn't catch any more. On the payroll issue ... very straightforward and matter-of-fact. The same as always on this topic. They are a business and they match revenue with expenses. The big nugget was they are not maxed out on payroll, they left themselves some room for a midseason addition. Reinsdorf was quick to say they all like this club as it's currently set up, i.e. they like how it looks on paper. Once again, Mike North was too willing to listen to himself talk instead of following up and probing on an issue (payroll) that is of significant interest to the listening audience. He could have said "tell us more about that, how much more room, are we talking $500K, $1M, $10M??" Or, "Why wouldn't you max out at the beginning of the season, tell us your reasoning?" Bottom line though ... big news from this interview, they are not maxed out on payroll. From what Williams has said, they apparantly have agreed to be maxed out for now and have also agreed they want to give themselves flexibility for an acquisition mid season. Jim we ahve talked about this for years. They have not been maxed out during the season. They have always tried to get players for the push or they consider themselves out of it, and sell off. I don't think that was such a reach. Furthermore it portrays hope for whitesox fans and keeps this in the back of there minds.

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 01:39 AM) Not Tora! Tora! Tora! Think Belushi, and Dean Wermer. Damn loved that movie too.

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 01:35 AM) The box score is up at the main White Sox site, I see your buddy Casey Rogowski must've managed a hit in the 9th inning and got on base for Toca! Toca! Toca! nice reference to Tora Tora Tora! Loved that movie, anyway the BIG ROGS with a huge cheap hit. If he would have struck out he would have been assigned to the minor league camp today! Notice he got the hit when I didn't call you? You are bad luck

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 01:27 AM) I think it was just about the only game in Arizona as well. If you have ever been out on the lawn area of Tucson Electric Park, I know what other things the scouts were looking at, you know exactly what I'm sayin'. Well they can't get rid of Diaz and Willie quick enough, although the Helms thing is puzzling to me. Helms is not the guy to target unless they are planning on Crede's slumps this year. Hey separate note, I am looking at the box score on ESPN and they have F Thomas playing center field today. I missed the last inning, what exactly did I miss?

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 01:22 AM) Diaz could be perfect this spring, oops, he already isn't ... and he won't make the team. I am not a fan of his but I'm not intending to torch the guy off of one spring outing. But Diaz will not make the team, barring 3-4 injuries. There were a ton of scouts there today, doesn't necessarily mean anything, but Diaz certainly did not impress. On the other hand, Adkins did impress. Most importantly he threw strikes, he's gotten in better shape. Would not surprise me if teams were interested in him, he would fit in many teams bullpens. Not so sure the Sox want to give him up, he does have minor league options left. Trying to be very neutral here ... Helms would add pop off the bench. Not sure if Guillen knows him from Guillen's time in Atlanta, it's possible. Well if the scouts were there they really didn't see alot of Willie. It appears the scouts were looking at other things and I say it was pitching, starting with adkins and moving on from there. Also Colorado played alot of players as well. They could be there for them.

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 01:12 AM) Someone is lurking, please share your thoughts with the class, as if we didn't already know what they are Jim, As we have chatted many times. Willie will be gone by the end of camp. The whitesox hope he does well that way they can trade him. In addition, and as you know, I have always hated Diaz, I will find it interesting how many people on this board jump completely off his bandwagon especially if adkins goes back down to be a starter and BMAC coming on strong.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 2, 2005 -> 07:10 PM) I'm looking at the invoice right now and it says $1053 for parking..? Maybe the tenure has something to do with it..? Steff, parking is 13 for season ticket holders, same as last year. The main lots are 17, no tenure required.

QUOTE(JimH @ Feb 26, 2005 -> 01:47 PM) Actually I could care less. I made my points on what I objected to. I should go on vacation more often! Looks like your having fun.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 21, 2005 -> 02:54 AM) 19 stolen bases and just about the best range of any secondbaseman in the AL is pretty good utilization of his speed, but maybe that's just me... Holy Crap! Just looking at your post makes me feel Willie should be an all star! I really do not understand the euphoria that this player has on people. He is an average ballplayer with an attitude problem. That is it. He will never be anything more. I have not seen one mediorce player in recent whitesox history receive more positive attention than this Little guy has from this board. What will we talk about once he is gone? Jon Adkins and his great ability? Until guys like Harris can demonstrate there greatness lets not waste time on fringe players. As for Harris being a great utility player, Unless he learns two other positions he is not a utility player. Not picking on you as much as the entire debate.

QUOTE(JimH @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 04:58 PM) Guillen says in the papers today that Harris and Iguchi will compete for the starting job ... interesting. Not sure I believe that, but there's nothing wrong with competition. We still need a way to find out if Harris has any minor league options left. That may very well factor into some decisions. Jim I don't believe it at all. he has to say that because he wants Willie to play hard. A hard playing Willie makes for a better trade. People will be watching this spring. He gone by opening day. I hope I never see the little s*** again. Tell him to take his cell phone with him.

I see a utility infielder coming our way soon.

QUOTE(JimH @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 12:56 AM) All I said was you can be knowledgeable at times, that would be true, yes? I thought about putting that in green, but now that wouldn't be nice ... would it? Are you nuts? Your so sweet.
