so, someone remind me why Greg Walker still has a job...

funny. Today I was recalling a time he hit a homer at camden yards (I think it was him) over the big RF fence. Doubt he ever owns a franchise though, let alone the White Sox.

Carter and Gartrell really belong at least at W-S if not Birmingham. Also, why is Logan Johnson still at R ball? And anyone know where the hell Poreda has been?

he'd be an interesting leadoff option. But then again he puts up huge numbers at coors and not so good numbers on the road.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 10:18 PM) Jon Garland could very well bring us that young, studly position prospect you so desperately seek. Of course, so could a 62-100 record this season. *cough*Pedro Alveras*cough*

Hey, we fired somebody... but then hired a person who we fired before...

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 10:41 PM) I think Juan meant he'd be the one going back to the Dominican Republic. oops, my bad. I mis-read it... that post never happened fyi.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 09:39 PM) I'm not sure why two different people, including one I've talked to before, would come on here and make this up, so I believe them. well, I've never talked or even seen either of them before (no offense) and just a post saying Charlie Haeger is coming doesn't really do much for me. I'm not calling them liers, but would like to see a source for something like this.

where are you guys getting the info on Charlie getting called up?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 09:29 PM) yeah, talk bears has all of that s*** now. yeah, I can't wait for the new skin. That default one is so ugly... I just want to puke. Plus, it is so confusing.

I was doing some research and the ip board's new features for us the posters are: Community-driven user profiles Improve and encourage user interaction, with the brand-new user profiles. Why should your users go elsewhere for their social-networking fix? * Personal profiles NEW! * Buddy lists NEW! * Comment within profiles NEW! * Rate users NEW!

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 08:56 PM) Where is all this talk about Haeger being called up coming from? It was only posted by a couple of posters here with single digit post totals and nowhere else that I can find. same here... right now, I'm not buying it.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 03:44 PM) That doesn't make sense that it's going to PS3. Microsoft said it will be multi-platform, but why would a game published by Microsoft go a Sony counsel? Also I haven't seen anything saying it's going to PS3, only PC. But besides that, I think I'm the only one who doesn't like Gears of War my bad, I meant to write pc... they both begin with p

I would do the same. LaRussa managed that game last night as if he had a few before the game. Pujols is the best hitter in baseball (down year or not) and should have been in the game.

Yeah, Utley has one damn good swing. So nice and sweet. I like Utley a lot as well.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 01:41 AM) I don't know...I have to disagree. Josh makes some nice plays out there, but he isn't close to where Joe is defensively. Not saying that is Josh's fault- he's young, and Joe is one of the best defensive third basemen I have ever seen. But from a pure performance standpoint, Josh isn't near the same caliber defensively as Joe is. right now he isn't. Most forget Joe wasn't this stud defensive thirdbasemen when he came up either. Fields already has good range and has better arm then Crede, he just needs to really work on his glovework and the transition from glove to ball.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 01:05 AM) I just really, really doubt that Garland resigns for 4/56. I'm just not buying it. What makes you think that? Off-season 06 everyone pretty much thought Garland would go into free agency and see how much he could get and no one really thought he would sign an extension with the sox. Yet, he signed the extension. To me, I think the commitment to the Sox is there for Garland and that he could be signed for a Buehrle like contract.

Well, he will probably get a ton of money in free agency (more then Rowand probably) but could you trust him to put up seasons like he has done the past two years for the next 3-5? I don't think he will be hitting like he is this year or the year before next year, and some team will regret paying him all that money. But he does bring a ton of energy.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 12:00 AM) Looked just as good as the PC version. And I guess it has a bunch of PC exclusive content(so far) too. I assume mean xbox 360 for that

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 10, 2007 -> 11:45 PM) No. The biggest announcement has been Gears of War to PC. Not even a new game announcement or anything. did they show a video? How were the graphics?

I already have a ps3. I was thinking about a 360, but since their good games will be coming to pc, I might just upgrade my computer instead. It works fast and has 180 GB of memory. I'd just upgrade the video card and probably get a wide screen monitor. Plus, I will be upgrading to vista sometime soon. will there be a demo for NCAA 08 for the ps3? I know xbox users got one.

Gears of War coming to the ps3... more reason for me not to get a 360. Gears of War for the pc will have: 5 new single player chapters, new multiplayer arenas, a new multiplayer mode, new achievements I hope they won't have xbox 360 users be able to download that and instead try and get some more money by having them have to buy the computer version.

I read there will be an announcement about Haze tomorrow at e3. Rumors are that they will announce it as a PS3 exclusive. For those of you who don't know, Haze is being hyped up to be the next Halo. Also, I saw the new demos for Call of Duty 4, looks awesome. It will be strange to play call of duty and have the time set in the present instead of the past.

well, since it looks like Ichiro is pretty much off the board, Fukodome should be a main target. But if we get him, we'd still be missing a leadoff hitter...

I know someone else used this before for something else, but I couldn't resist.
