QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 04:34 PM) It would sure be freaking sweet to see someone actually hit 60 without being dogged by accusation and inflation. You lose QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 06:28 PM) as much as that would be good...i'm sure someone will have some allegation and whatever...it wont be major but just plain stupid. winnar Dan Wetzel is FUNNY

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 04:40 PM) Tiger Woods is good at golf. Really?! You just figured that out now? GOD YOU ARE DUMB.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 04:37 PM) The same way a team with Carl Everett in the 3 spot won 99 games last year. Pitching, pitching, pitching, pitching, pitching, pitching, pitching, pitching, pitching. and clutch hitting... and pitching

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 01:44 PM) I like what he has now, they just need to blast it more and maybe start it in a better spot. C'mon, him coming out of the gate as they blast "BOOM! here comes the boom!" is pretty awesome. It's no gong though. SHINGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 03:15 PM) Don't say this on that other thread. I was buried for saying our bullpen sucks except for Bobby. Thornton costs us one game against the Twins last week; Mac Dougal the other, but they are great ya know. Dude, the bullpen is awesome. It's not their fault they are put in positions to fail. They are human. They will have ERAs higher than 0. Due to this, they will give up runs, and in some cases, they will give up runs in less than desireable times. The bullpen LOOKS bad because the starting pitching IS bad. Period.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 01:16 PM) Bingo. It sounds to me llike something a 9 year old would say. Basically, he'd be ok with the Twins not making it as long as the Sox don't make it either. Tool. I just hope the Sox catch wind of it and Ozzie makes a huge deal out of it. That is something that can trigger excitement and momentum, cuz this team could take whatever it needs. 1 of these 3 teams is bound to start playing better this week - I just hope it's the Sox and not the Twins.

QUOTE(daveman19 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 11:42 AM) What about "Mr. Jinx" by Quarashi? I realize his name is Jenks and this song is Jinx but it'd still be cool. that was pretty much the oddest bump ever.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 12:04 PM) It should be bulletin board material but I dont think anyone can blame him. Id want my team to say stuff like that. You'd want your team to say "It's OK for one of our rivals to get into the playoffs, but not the other," ? In essence, what Morneau is saying is that he'd be pissed if Chicago won the division and Minnesota won the Wild Card, or vice versa. He wants Detroit and Minnesota in the playoffs out of the AL. If I'm a manager, I don't want my player saying anything like that. Any given spark can set off a fire that cannot be stopped(that sounds really, really, really cliche)

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 10:58 AM) I was watching Dye on Jim Rome is Burning on either Thursday or Friday, and Dye said he doesn't care as long as they make the playoffs. Um, duhhhh. Only a dumbass would say he wants the MVP but doesn't care about the playoffs. You're not gonna try and tell me JD doesn't want to win the MVP, are you?

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) I think that he will get to .240 but i'll even go crazier and say that he will manage to get his BA up to .250. I said the same thing about a 1 1/2-2 months ago. Probably not gonna happen. Assuming he gets the same 75 more ABs, he's gonna have to hit .320 the rest of the way. I like BA as much as anyone, but that's just improbable. I hope he does it though. We could use some of those hits.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 12:57 AM) Fixed. That's the only reason they're not atleast 5 games up on us. Agreed, agreed, 100% agreed I should also add that losing those two hasn't stopped them from pwning the Sox.

QUOTE(Jake @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 08:52 PM) This is the show with Shatner right? KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

OH CROIKEE, THAT ONE IS REALLY BIG RIP Steve. It was gonna happen eventually. Thanks for making us laugh and wonder what the hell you're thinking for years

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 10:04 PM) Isn't it ironic that for all the rest Ozzie has given his regular players, he has given his starting pitchers none? I wouldn't say it's ironic. I'd say it's friggin dumb. But yet, it is a little bit ironic. They are his horses, they are his most important players...and they don't rest until the Sox are doneskees.

If he hits .267 or so from here on out, given about 75 ABs, you're gonna win the bet. He hit .313 in July, .296 in August, and has hit .294 in the second half so far. I'd say it's pretty safe that you're going to win that bet. QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) What day did he even get over .190 or .200? He hit the .190 mark on July 9th, going 2 for 4 against Boston(went from .185 --> .192). One week after that, on July 16th, he hit the .200 mark going 1 for 1 in a loss in Yankee Stadium(.196 --> .200). He got over the .200 mark in the next game with a 1 for 4 performance against Detroit(.200-.201) you're welcome

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) "I just want to win," he said. "I'll do anything to not let Chicago get into the playoffs. That's all that matters. Obviously, we're still trying to chase Detroit, but you'd almost rather see anybody go in other than Chicago. If I can help us do that, that's the only thing that matters to me." BULLETIN.BOARD.MATERIAL. If Ozzie let's opposing players on rival teams say that s***, and no attitude change is made by the White Sox, then it's horrible. They better win like friggin 8 in a row now.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 03:05 PM) The Twins are just 5 steps ahead of every other team in the MLB... its really unfair to compare us to them. Because every other team maybe besides the Marlins are probably jealous of the Twins farm system, scouting, and prospects. As for the Tigers... thats what happens when your a consistent loser. They traded for Bonderman like its been mentioned. Miller and Verlander were both top picks in the draft we had no way of getting. So the lone guy that they didnt get from a top5-6 pick and really can take credit for is Humberto Sanchez... I guess Joel Zumaya too but everyone else was a top pick from their system in which they were way ahead of us in. So if you dont want to have a winning season for over 10 seasons and trade away our current good players for possible future young studs than maybe we can be just like the Tigers in the year 2016. And if your complaining we arent as good as the Twins in scouting... so are 28-29 other teams as well..... You're right, the Twins and Tigers aren't alike at all; the Twins have good scouting, whereas the Tigers just sucked for a long time , lucked out, and got the talent because of it. Orrrrr they were both friggin terrible in the 90s for forever, and both have good farm systems because of good scouting and not because of top picks. If it were because of top picks, why has KC had like 1 (lucky) winning season in about the past 8-10 years? Why hasn't Pittsburgh done s*** in forever? The Tigers traded for Bonderman; the Twins traded for Santana AND Liriano. I don't see the difference. I also just see 2 guys in the Tigers system we could not have gotten: Verlander, who's amazing, and Miller, who hasn't proven s*** in the major league level. What's our scouting doing? Why didn't we find Bonderman, Zumaya, Sanchez, or others? It's a legitamate question, and I haven't heard a good enough excuse yet.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 01:42 PM) Anyways I like Javy and basically feel that if he can get comfortable with the Sox and the AL he will become one of our best pitchers for a few years. That's exactly it with Vazquez, he's on his 4th team in 4 years. Let the man get comfortable, and then see if he can do anything.

QUOTE(vandy125 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 10:20 AM) I was actually pretty happy to take 2-3 from the DRays with both Freddy and Javy on the mound for the series. I know that everyone wanted a sweep (who wouldn't), but could you honestly expect a sweep with the way those two have been pitching? Also, this against one of the fastest teams out there where singles and walks easily turn to doubles. It was good to see Javy pitch well and actually pitch out of a couple of jams instead of imploding at that point. The key is pitching, pitching, and more pitching for this final month. If it is there, we run away with this thing. Do people not realize that Javy's been pitching well(when compared to our other starters atleast) in August or something? His worst outing was against KC, where he went 5.1, giving up 7 hits, 2 homers, and 4 runs(3 ER)...and even in doing that, he gave the team a chance to win and the offense just sucked ass. His outing against the Yankees looks worse, but the umpires were a friggin joke that entire series, and anyone will agree with that...and even in doing so, he battled through it and got us out with a win. I think that was one of his best performances of the year, given the circumstances. Other than that, he has been pitching very well as of late. Hell, his August splits... 3.41 ERA, 1.27 WHIP(thanks in large part to his Yankees outing), 34 H, 29/13 K/BB in 37.1 IP. I don't see any reason anyone should be hating on Vazquez. You want to flame a starter, flame Contreras. For what he was down the stretch for the Sox last year, he has been the exact opposite this year, and his 7.50 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 30 innings in August tells that entire story.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 01:23 PM) Phillips is in Cuba right now, and I don't think he'll be back in time for the IL playoffs. Farnsworth is too. Even considering that Farnsworth is a AAAA reliever, and Phillips has mediocre stuff, I did want to see them come up, if only to eat some innings here and there. Who knows, maybe you catch lightning in a bottle for a month and they are solid relievers for us down the stretch.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 01:07 PM) Out of the guys you mentioned, two have proven they can succeed in the majors and there is a good shot that Liriano could have a lot of trouble with injuries. To say Liriano and Garza are a formidable 1/2 is kind of crazy imo. Yes, Liriano will be an ace IF he stays healthy, I wouldn't bet on Garza though. From what I have seen of Garza, if he doesn't have ace potential, it is really goddamn close. A fastball near 94-97, along with a very good curve and an adequate change...that's pretty much the mold for every Twins pitcher in their organization(not being fastball-curve-change...having a plus fastball, a great secondary pitch, and an adequate to good third pitch) Seriously, if the Sox want to continue to be successful, they must start developing arms. If Broadway and McCulloch are only gonna be #4-5's, the Sox are in deep s***, because Minnesota and Detroit don't seem to want to develop #4-5's, they want to develop great pitchers with #1-2 stuff and abilities. With that comes injuries, but if you can successfully develop enough of them(4-5 out of something around 40-50), and can plug some other fillers in when necessary(such as a Bonser, Baker, Silva, Robertson, Maroth, or Miner), you are gonna be good for a long friggin time.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 11:52 PM) I wish we could swing something for Freel. I love that guy. He loves drinking too that's like the main knock on the guy. That, and from what I understand, he's a huge asshole.

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) but ummmm i mean jermaine dye doesnt play the field i mean errr derek jeter has heart and well i mean he hasnt won an MVP yet so he totally deserves one moreso because of that Jermaine Dye doesnt have post season experience or a world series ring either. Atleast Jeter plays for a winning team though.
