QUOTE(letsgoarow @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 08:29 PM) i didnt say it becuase i knew everyone would freak out.... but im not saying we fire ozzie... it was just a dumb move. Agreed 100%.....and I actually flinched as soon as I read on the gamecast that Ozzie removed MCCarthy to get Boone to face Hafner........I just knew this was a disaster in a one run game

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 08:27 PM) In three days, we've had a thread bashing Mark Buehrle, Freddy Garcia, and now questioning Ozzie Guillen. This is going to be a fun year Sorry if I am coming across as bashing. What is the point of burning through your pen by sitting McCarthy after one great inning with their best hitters coming up? Makes no freaking sense, especially with your worst bull pen pitcher.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 08:25 PM) FIRE OZZIE!!!!! I knew I would be flamed for this, but what the heck. I am worried about our bullpen. We had one of the best in the game and there was NO NEED to do anything to it. I can understand trading Duque and Viz-can for Vasquez. But WHY trade away someone who was one of our best pitchers in the pen a year ago for Mackowiack? Especially with the question marks around Hermanson (injury), Jenks (too early to know how good he is/can be and he has had injury issues too in the past) and McCarthy (can he consistently pitch in the pen)?

It is a one run game, and with Travis Hafner on, he decides to sit McCarthy after one great inning to get Boone freaking Logan???? Yeah I understand the lefty-lefty matchup but come on Ozzie.......this was asking for trouble.....and the game is tied Kenny better find a way to improve this bullpen somewhere at the deadline. Or we are not going anywhere. Why was trading Marte for Mackowiack that important?????

I am following game on the net and saw he was taken out for Mackowiack.....hope it wasn't anything bad/serious? Sorry if this is in the game thread but I do not wanna search 48 pages to find it.

TIME TO BLOW UP THE INJUNS AS I ALWAYS SAY.... CLEVELAND SUCKS CLEVELAND SUCKS CLEVELAND SUCKS FOCK THESE BASTAGES FROM THE "MISTAKE BY THE LAKE" GO COUNT.....

THIS ONE'S FOR JIM THOME

They just said during the game that the bomb went 436 feet.....longer than any HR hit last year by the Sox

I cannot wait to see this guy mash the ball at the Cell all year....when it gets warmer the ball will be flying outta here

Jim Focking Thome baby

What a focking monster HR to start off his career in Chicago

Focking Bastages :sleep

Anquan Boldin of the Arizona Cardinals.....is he from Chi town? http://www.azcardinals.com/news/detail.php?PRKey=788

So what happens IF either Kong (hip) or Thome (back, elbow)'s injuries flare up in the season to the point where they are done for the season and the A's are out of it by AS break. Do you trade for Big Frank? If yes, what do you give up? PS - I am not hoping or praying that Kong or Thome get injured. I believe what the Sox did was the correct thing in choosing Thome + Kong over Frank.

Sorry but I am not changing my avatar or sig Focking sucks Good luck Frank. Hopefully you decide after this year to re-sign another one year deal with the White Sox, play as a pinch hitter and hit the 500th HR at the Cell. I know I am dreaming but I also dreamt we would win the WS in my life time and it happened so ....

QUOTE(samclemens @ Jan 20, 2006 -> 05:01 PM) wasnt there people screaming for that terrible trade ages ago?? thank god your suggestion is in green as well. :puke edit: it wasnt. i hope you arent serious. I wasn't serious. This was an inside joke from last year

TRADE FOR VINNY FOCKING CASTILLA

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2006 -> 05:21 PM) So...talks with Contreras have dried up. In other words, he'll either sign by Monday or be traded by then. Are we still flying under the radar?

We can always sign Billy Koch if we get in trouble with Hermy's back

SO if we subscribe to the SI stuff, I know we get the book + some collectibles. But what happens if I pull out of the subscription after I get one or 2 copies and decide to get my $$$ back.....do I still get those free gifts to keep? Sorry I have just started my WS shopping ... just got some cool deals at MLB.com and am trying to figure this SI stuff out

I would not mind Mullholand He is not bad for the occasional lefty out from the pen...we can always upgrade at trade deadline....maybe get Eddie Guardardo from the Ms then

We should take a chance on Embree....he might rebound to being decent....he sucked last year but relievers can change from year to year I hate the Marte trade yet.....

So basically Alex Rodriguez was traded for these chumps? Just goes to show that sometimes it does not take a lot to get a stud player especially if the stud player gets paid lots of $$$ (which is typically the case)

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 01:27 AM) Who wanted Jon Garland gone? Last time I checked this season it was Contreras or El Duque being mooted in those Schmidt deals? Now last off-season when those Randy Johnson rumors were up and going, that was a different story. Let me clarify....not this year, but before this year almost everyone on this board at one point or another did.

Big Hurt will win one more ring next year....with us
