    Am I the only one who thinks what he said was not horrible?    :huh

     

     

    No it's not. Like teams don't know he's a pull hitter. I think people are forgetting that during the past week he moved a runner over by hitting the ball the other way and has done that a lot in his career as a Sox hitter.

    IT's still way too early to talk about the all-star game.

     

    Talk to me in Mid-June.

     

     

    I agree but you can vote online now and at the ballpark so the popular Yankees and Red Sox will have all the starters this year!

    Hey fellas,

     

    Not being able to touch an Illini game ticket down here at school, my folks and I are looking for Big Ten Tourny tickets back at home. 

     

    Do any you of U of I guys, or anyone else for that matter, have a lead on tickets or know where to check?  Ideally, I'd love to pay face value, but if we have to overpay, so be it.

     

    Thanks everyone! :cheers

     

     

    I was just on Ticketmaster.com and there are tickets available for both Friday sessions. Tickets are up in the 300 level though.

  4. I don't use fouls as an excuse when my team loses but I want the ref's to be fair, when Augustine or Powell go up for a basket and are knocked to the ground and no foul is called then I don't want to see Powell getting fouls called against him when he touches a guy. That's all I want, the call to be the same on both teams!~

  5. I may be completely wrong, but I think KW has been burdened with a lot of high price contracts which weren't of his own doing. I think this off-season will be a good gauge of his ability, he's getting at least 19 million off the books with Maggs and JosE5. 

     

    I'm not throwing my support behind KW, but in my opinion he'll be out of excuses after this off-season and I want to see what he does

    KW signed Konerko, Lee, Koch, Buherle, Garcia, to those contracts.

    Frank was previous to KW and I don't know if he did the Maggs contract or not. So I don't think that KW was saddled with lots of high paid talent, he did it to himself.

  6. Yada yada yada, this story is old and played. I am sorry, I'd rather watch mens sports over womens sport, most of the time (the obvious exceptions of tennis, gymnastics, volleyball, and beach volleyball.).

    Maybe you should watch the women's team ( Soccer, Softball and basketball)

    Those are actaul teams that play the game right, execute and win!

  7. How about this luck for me, picking Beltre and Carlos Guillen as backups and Carl Pavano with my 2nd to last pick. :D

    Well I have had better luck with hitters, I drafted Carlos Guillen and Mark Loretta late in my draft, someone dropped David Ortiz so I grabbed him and I got Pujols with my first pick but I also had Frank, Maggs and Troy Glaus. To think that I am in 4th place out of 8 isn't too bad

  8. Before the Sox faced Indians pitcher Cliff Lee on July 21, he was having a huge year and started to become a concern to all teams in the Central division. 

     

    But on that fateful day in late July, the White Sox bats completely shell-shocked Lee and he still hasn't recovered.

     

    Before White Sox beat-down:  10-1  3.81 ERA

     

    After White Sox beat-down:  0-3  19.00 ERA

     

    That should help keep those pesky Indians off our backs for the remainder of the season.  I mean, when a starter who was winning games at a rate of over 90% can't find his rythym anymore, that's a huge blow.

    Well I picked him up on my fantasy team for that start against the Sox hoping that he would lose because I have had the worst luck with starters this year.

    I drafted Hudson, Zito, Andy Pettitte, Russ Ortiz, Sidney Ponson and Ben Sheets.

    Pettitte and Hudson on the DL, I dropped Ortiz and then he went on a winning streak, Ponson and Zito have not been good this year. I did however pick up Freddy Garcia when I dropped Russ Ortiz so that makes up for it.

  9. Mulder is decent this year? Ha Ha, Have you looked at his numbers, 12-2 with a 3 era, he has 2 or 3 complete games, hasn't lost a start since april. These numbers are better than the last 2 seasons. I would take him over all of our starters right now!

  10. I did a little research on run support for our starters.

     

    Mark B had 87 runs scored in his 11 starts for an average of 7.90 runs per game

    Jon G had 59 runs scored in his 10 starts for an average of 5.90 runs per game

    Scott S had 57 runs scored in his 10 starts for an average of 5.70 runs per game

    ELo had 50 runs scored in his 10 starts for an average of 5.00 runs per game

     

    5th starter had 20 runs scored in their 8 starts for an average of 2.5 runs per game

    In fact Danny Wright lost 5-4 to the Yankees, 3-0 and 4-1 to Tampa, so Danny actually kept us in 3 of his 4 starts.
