  1. minn 84 wins kc 80 cleve 76 sox 70 detroit 63
  2. since it seems like we might have our QB of the future (crossing my fingers on that one) i would go with the o - line first..give this kid every chance to suceed
  3. the fact that he is still a prospect already shows failure...he needs to be given the CF job out of ST and he either sinks or swims...its time joe...the guy he was compared in the draft , adam dunn and has been homering at a sick pace for the past two seasons in cincy and is a year younger than joe...he is gonna start running out of chances soon
  4. on the right team kelly would be invaluable...unfortantely our bullpen is so weak that i dont know if we can afford a specialist..and it seems any time kelly's workload increases he ends up on the DL...
  5. i fully expect borchard to beat out rowand for the starting CF job this spring...if borchard is not ready by now to beat out rowand , who will be a career 4th outfielder at best for the rest of his career then we might as well dump him on somebody for a used "L" screen because he'll never make it...its time for joe to put up some bigtime numbers...
  6. same things were said about craig counsell , david eckstein...its not miles fault he never got a chance..he's been winning mvp's in the minors for 3 (?) years now???... i know uribe is young but..he doesnt steal many bases...never had an OBP over 300..doesnt hit for alot of power..in his only full season he struck out 120 times... defensively his only full season he made 27 errors but he does carry a range factor over 5...guess ill have to watch himeveryday for awhile to see what his value is but from what ive seen of miles his hard nose gutsy attitude was exactly what the sox seem to be lacking...we dont have anyone on this team thats a real hard ass

    Gay Marriage

    im not going to list my personal belief or what i think the bible says about homosexuality here...because thats an issue thats best discussed in person..its hard to really make your points on a subject that touchy on a message board.. i will add this...there is alot of talk on this thread from people who say they believe in a higher power or God but dont act on it because they cant stand the hypocrisy of christians and organized religon... in the new testiment there is a letter from james...one of its main purposes is to expose hypocritical practices of the church...its a letter and not a book so its only 5 chapters long..its only 6 pages long in my bible(and mine has 1/2 the pages filled with footnotes)..you can read it in about an 1/2 hour..james is my favorite author of the bible because unlike alot of the bible where it is written in parables , very charismatic , and long drawn out stories james was always right to the point....there is no talking in tongues , answering questions with more question...james was a very straight forward ..its easy to read and understand...he leaves no doubt as to what his message is... it was written about 50AD because the same questions that are on this thread were being asked back then...there have been false prohets since day one..
  8. i love that citibank commercial where they are talking about credit card fraudand have that 50 year old guy sitting in chair talking like the 20 something ditz who stole his credit card..."1500 dollars for a leather bust- e - aye (sp)..what do i care...hey it lifts and seperates..besides its not like i was paying for it ..haha"
  9. i think he was....but anyone could have had him like 4 years ago from new orleans...i remember i saw his first start ever for new orleans..one of those injury situations...he looked good that game..i dont remember the particulars but i remember thinking to myself how can a 3rd string QB in his first start look better so much better than whoever was qbing the bears..i think it was mirer at that time... he looked like a leader from day one to me
  10. we had young first time head coaches in here in wandstadt and jauron...do you really think could do any worse???
  11. "But one league source and a source close to Saban agree that money didn't have as much to do with Saban's hesitance as his desire to have control over the Bears' 53-man roster and Angelo's reluctance to relinquish it." seriously..what coach worth his salt is gonna be excited about taking a job where he has no control over who is players are...right away the respect factor goes out the window if players know the coach has no say if they stay or go...
  12. will be a real close game that could go either way..but i think the pats are a little better so ill go with them
  13. im kinda thinking philly might have peaked a little early and carolina really seems to be hitting their stride...winning in st louis had to wonders for their confidence...especially delhomme with that big clutch pass...when he was with new orleans as a 3rd stringer i always hoped the bears might take a shot on him...something about him...his form sux...his skills are marginal at best..he throws temper tantrums on the field..and oh yeah...he always seems to win.. carolina in an upset....
  14. before seahorn's numerous injuries he was voted by the nfl players as the best athlete in the league 3 years in a row....he was a great cover corner until injuries took their toll on his body... read his book...he talks about how in college the coaches there threatened to take away his scholarship every year for not being willing to move to safety..telling him stuff like , you want to play in the NFL dont you??...the NFL will never draft a white corner...he said he ahd to send letter to all NFL teams telling them he wouldnt move to safety and if that was their plan then dont draft him for years the NFL refused to let blacks QB...it wasnt that long ago when ...if it wasnt for doug williams guys like donavan mcnabb and daunte cullpepper and most certainly michael vick would have all bee moved to rb or wr.. still alot of predujice amonsgt nfl coaches...you cant tell not one white male in this country is good enough to play corner in the NFL anyone watch the high school all star game this past weekend??...there was a white kid from new jersey..6'2 , 240 lbs , runs 4.5 , 4.40..was a tb in high school and average orver 9 yards a carry , 1200 yards and 22 tds....it was mentioned by the commentators that the college he is going to has already decided he will play MLB...youre telling me if he was black they would be moving him LB????..look at brian urlacher...if he was black he'd be the next jerome bettis...he's the same size as bettis but faster in the 40...
  15. why not levy..no one else left out there is any better..atleast he'd have the respect of the players
  16. i dont why anyone would want konerko with his current salary and recurring hip problems...but ive always thought washburn to be a very good and underrated pitcher so if could every finagle a way to get him losing only konerko and a few "prospects" id sure like to see us do it.. btw..does any GM in baseball really thing the chisox have top line prospects..even joe borchard's stock is falling...man we look weak down on the farm
  17. if any of these scenarios come to pass , im hoping its one that has trot nixon coming to our colored sox..that guy is clutch...the epitome of "dont tell what you hit but when you hit it"
  18. marlins won two world series with the past 10 years...there is no way they bring in more than the sox.. also the sox have one of the top ten cable/tv deals in baseball...plus reinsdorf got a great deal on the stadium from the city/state..im not sure how merchandising money is split up but the sox are also in top 3rd in that dept too..for a long time they were number one..this franchise is not as bad off as management makes it sound.. i remember sports illustraded did an article in '02 about the bottom ten franchise in baseball that were all losing money...im guessing the sox are somewhere between 10-13 any given year..not great..but no where near the bottom and definately not an excuse for cost cutting measures.. no one ever said reinsdorf was a dumbass..just a cheap ass

    WXRT

    us99 the past 2 years has been voted the number 1 country station in the country..pretty funny that chicago has the number 1 country station..of course it is the only country station serving a 7 million person listening area..no competition
  20. here is the comp0lete list..from nellie to ray...be forewarned ...its a long one.. nellie fox 50-63 al weis 64 don buford 65 al weis 66 wayne causey 67 sandy alomar sr 68 bobby knoop 69-70 mike andrews 71-72 jorge orta 73-75 jack brohamer 76 jorge orta 77-78 alan bannister 79 jim morrison 80 tony bernazard 81-82 julio cruz 83-86 fred manrique 87-88 steve lyons 89 scott fletcher 90-91 steve sax 92 joey cora 93-94 ray durham 95-02 d'angelo jimenez 03 this doesnt take into account guys like robbie alomar that were here only for a few months or guys like will harris who have been on the roster for awhile but never played enough games in one season to be considered the main guy...i remember back when one of my all time favorites , jorge orta manned 2nd base...we ran numerous 2nd baseman in while he spent half the season at dh because while he was an excellent hitter his glove was..well not so good..
  21. i believe gibbons has the chance to turn into a superstar...if there is no chance of re-signing maggs after this year then a trade for gibbons and a solid prospect is definately something to look into
