QUOTE(fathom @ May 28, 2007 -> 09:26 PM) - I'd like to give kudos to Mackowiak for playing through pain right now. It's obvious that he's in pain with almost every baseball move he has to make. However, he's out there busting his ass more than anyone. - For all the talk of how good Uribe has looked this year, he's having a worse year statistically than last year. His average is almost below .200 now. It's really looking like we need a new 2b/SS combo next year. - What is up with the velocity drop for Santana and Carlos Zambrano this season? Are they trying to addition for a spot with the White Sox in future seasons? -I'm not the biggest Mack fan, but you're right, he is giving it his all. -I've been saying we needed a new SS for a while now. Uribe was hot for a while, but he is as streaky as they come. I'm saddened by Iguchi sucking, and he looks like he needs to be replaced as well. I'd do an Aybar for Crede trade. -I've noticed the speed drop for a lot of pitchers this year. Santana used to hit 95-96 consistantly, now he can barely hit 90 it seems. Weird, to say the least.

Whoa! I just heard on the radio that gamestop will be holding special sales for up to 50% off of new stuff this summer... gotta check that out. http://www.gamestop.com/gs/gamedays/ Meh, they don't really have a lot of good products to choose from. But an extra 20 dollars for sold games and such sounds intriguing, but I could still probably get more from gamecrazy....

Carter needs to get moved up pronto...

I already have a PS3, but I am really thinking about getting a 360 for when Halo 3 comes out, and I'd get Gears of War to go with it. Now, I love my ps3, but I love Halo also. I just don't want to spend around 500 bucks for another system for which I will only play 2, maybe 3 games for. I could probably find a decent deal on ebay, but I don't trust a lot of the sellers... why would you sell a brand new system with extra for just 260? Fishy. Check out this badboy... http://cgi.ebay.com/VIDA-GUERRA-Xbox-360-V...1QQcmdZViewItem

Bo Jackson was one hell of an athlete. He was a better running back then ball player, but when he did hit the ball, he hit it hard. In Techmo Bowl, he was unreal...

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:42 PM) Rented a game for the 1st time in like 6 months. RB6 Vegas is awesome. I am still waiting for the ps3 version... Comes out June 12. I can hardly wait. And I can't wait for GRAW either, and that doesn't come out until about the time Madden does. But at least Vegas and NCAA will get me through the wait. QUOTE(Shadows @ May 27, 2007 -> 10:37 PM) For those who own a PS3.. Have you ever had problems with it? I know 3-4 of my friends who have 360 and already have had to send them back to Microsoft to get new ones because it always freezes I was gonna get a 360, but im thinking I might just get a PS3 instead if its the better system.. I haven't played or heard anything about it so im not that knowledgeable on the PS3.. No complaints to speak of.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 28, 2007 -> 06:05 PM) according to the knights roster Watch out International League!

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 28, 2007 -> 05:11 PM) I don't see how people can slam Masset. He has some nice secondary stuff and as a starter he has an above average fastball that sustains its velocity and life late into games. We are just upset about being told that the guy can throw 97-98, when he has only topped out at 95 once or twice.

Paulie has a shot if he averages something like 30-35 homers for the next 8-9 years. If he does that, he will have 500 career dingers. I don't think 500 will become todays 400 until after PK's generation.

What a good way to ruin my early Memorial Day... hopefully the real Memorial Day will be better. Is the real one on May 30 or 31? I forget...

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 28, 2007 -> 05:06 PM) And you actually believe that's what Williams meant? No, not at all.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 28, 2007 -> 05:01 PM) The same mystical land where Masset's 'tick below Jenks' fastball lives. Actually, that is correct, as Massett throwing 93-94 is just a tic below Jenks' 95-96...

can anyone answer my question? Where was Day's awesome slider?

Hawk loves him...

Where was this awesome slider I kept hearing about? I was really excited to see it, but it really wasn't anything special. He does have a nice live fastball though. And Andy Gonzalez is useless. All teams need 5 reserve infielders.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ May 27, 2007 -> 08:40 PM) My friend just bought the PS2 version for $5 at gamestop. If you buy something called a maxdrive, you can download rosters for it online (the rosters are really good too). How would that work? Would I save the new patch for MVP 2007, and then plug it into the ps2?

Nothing to do today except have some BBQ and watch some baseball! Can't get much better then this.

So, he will be heading to AAA, right? Could be a good signing in the long run, but don't hold your breath.

Cool. Day will dominate. Plus, he will add some color to the pen Oh, and Gonzalez should not be called up. We already have Mack and Cintron. We don't need another below average reserve infielder. I say it should be Sweeney, but Owens would be a good choice as well, since he does have speed.

Fields has made strides in his development at 3B, and I don't think it would be a good idea to change his position. Especially with Crede being a big ? right now. Sweeney has to learn to hit the inside fastball sooner or later, and it isn't that big of an adjustment.

Put Ozuna and Mac on the DL. Sisco to AAA. Call up Sweeney, Prinz, and Vazquez... Lineup: Erstad, CF Iguchi, 2B Thome, DH Konerko 1B Dye, RF Pierzynski/Hall, C Crede, 3B Uribe, SS Sweeney/Mack/Terrero, LF Rotation stays the same. Bullpen: CP, Jenks SU, Thornton SU, Aardsma MRP, Logan (loogy) MRP, Vazquez MRP, Prinz LRP, Massett

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 27, 2007 -> 05:28 PM) Sweeney also showed he isn't ready. I disagree. But if not Sweeney and if KW doesn't make a trade, who do you say we call up? Gonzalez?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 27, 2007 -> 05:11 PM) This loss comes down to 2 things you could see a mile away at any point from the winter until now: 1. The bullpen is for the most part very inexperienced,and right now, sucks 2. Vazquez is a so so pitcher who strikes out a lot of guys. I disagree with no. 2. The home run to Pena was a high fly ball that carried. It wasn't hit that well at all. Take away that, and Mack giving up that triple, Vazquez has a very good day.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 27, 2007 -> 04:39 PM) Why? Why not? Mack is hurting. Ozuna is going on the DL. And Terrero isn't an everyday player. Also, we need some speed.

MacDougal and Sisco have to go back to where they came from...
