Ide take Jenks over any closer.. but it would have also been Lidge if he hadnt stumbled to start the season And no, not because hes on the White Sox, but because he throws 98-100+ gas and has NASTY breaking pitches.. his stuff is awesome

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 02:15 PM) still the funiest one ever http://www.progressiveboink.com/dugout/arc...gout12-4-05.htm Hahahahaha, it took me till about halfway through to realize what it was.. man thats great

QUOTE(Beetle @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 09:35 AM) Credit goes to Larry Beinfest, probably the most underrated GM in baseball, and his assistant Mike Hill. Their track record since day one has been outstanding. We're very glad to have them here (in Florida). Jeffrey Loria is not at fault for the Marlins' problems; former owner H. Wayne Huizenga is the true culprit. Huizenga screwed the team and its fans in '97, and he continued screwing them after he sold the team, by forcing the new owners to sign a lease for use of the stadium (which Huizenga still owns) that's not only one of the highest in the business, but also one of the most constricting. Luxury suite rentals, parking, advertisements, concessions, even a percentage of all merchandise sold -- all that money goes to Huizenga, not the team. Even during the '03 postseason run, HWH made a killing off the Marlins by making Loria pay extra to open the extra seating sections necessary to accomodate the masses. That is why things happened the way they did last winter. We need our own stadium to escape the suffocating grip of Huizenga (and his cronies in the local media and goverment). Hey, as soon as you Marlins get out of our stadium the better.. Im tired of worrying about players getting hurt because they have the play on that damned dirt infield until late september Im speaking of the Dolphins in case no one knew

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 10:13 PM) The Cardinals will come out playing very hard tomorrow ... and Thursday too. Either that or they will be crushed from this game and play flat the next two games

QUOTE(Misplaced_Sox @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 10:09 PM) I am sorry, tigerfan cheerleaded and gloated the whole series we played his tigers to me that should not be tolerated. I dont go to other boards and cheerlead for my team in defiance. I come here to see sox talk not a tiger fan rooting for his team and talking us down. But I am done with it if you admins are okay with him here I just wished you gave me the option to ignore him as a member because I dont wish to read what he posts. There is an ignore option, you dont have to read his posts.. it works pretty good

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 10:04 PM) OH SHI- Cards with a 19-run HR. nnnooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 09:59 PM) So heres the question. If we played the last 2 innings 500,000 times, would the Cardinals be able to stage a comeback in any one of those 500,000 opportunities? Ide bet my left nut it wouldnt happen, even with Pujols in the lineup

QUOTE(henry wiggins @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 09:56 PM) Did Ozzie get tossed out of the game? Farmer wasn't real clear on that. Yes he did

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 08:25 PM) How much value is there in being "One of Kansas City's best pitching prospects"? I guess not much, but still, they sent one of their better organizational prospects

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 05:57 PM) I like the trade the Royals made with Tampa for Gathright, I think that's a good almost no risk move for KC. If he turns out they've got a real speedster, not happy that he went there. Since he cost so little I wish the White Sox could've found a way to get him. Oh well. Kansas City sent one of their best pitching prospects for him, I wouldnt say it cost little

QUOTE(jenksd @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 03:32 PM) mlb 06 rules. but MVP baseball is still the best game ever. Yeah, all I did was go through and edit all the rosters to make them like they are now.. took some hours to do but its great to play still

Ok, so I have now played 27 games with Tony's sliders and here is how things have faired so far.. I am the Marlins BTW RECORD - 17-10, 1st place NL East LINEUP 1. SS Hanley Ramirez - .336 4 HR 14 RBI 26 R 21 SB's 0 BB 7 K 2.

Dontrelle Willis - 5-1 2.40 ERA 41.1 IP 30 K 2. Sergio Mitre - 2-2 6.26 ERA 27.1 IP 17 K (On the DL after gettin hit in the face by a line drive which I caught with the SS after it bounced off his head haha) 3. Nate Bump - 2-1 1.57 ERA 28.2 IP 25 K 4. Angel Guzman - 1-1 2.59 ERA 31.1 IP 11 K 5. Yusemiro Petit - 3-1 2.76 ERA 29.1 IP 15 K BULLPEN Todd Wellemeyer - 2-1 0.93 ERA 9.2 IP 11 K Scott Olsen - 0-0 3.86 ERA 7 IP 8 K Franklyn German - 1-0 2.38 ERA 11.1 IP 7 K Roy Corcoran - 0-0 1.08 ERA 8.1 IP 11 K Logan Kensing - 0-1 8.44 ERA 10.2 IP 3 K John Riedling - 0-0 2.61 ERA 10.1 IP 8 K Joe Borowski - 1-2 2.38 ERA 11.1 IP 12 K 7 Saves So far everything has been pretty good except for the fact that my pitching has been amazing, the offensive side of this I am about a little over league average but I am pitching way better than I should be, I am going to have to mess with that a little bit more before I get it right but Tonys sliders for the most part were right on and its been a much better playing experiance using them..

QUOTE(SoxFanInDallas @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 01:31 PM) You try to do it.....I just forgot him....so, I would drop Swisher to put Konerko on there (the FOURTH 1B). I could, but I wont.. and you cant make me

How is Konerko not on there

So far this is all I can find.. "Contreras, who turns 31 on Dec. 12, has a lifetime record of 117-50, 2.82 ERA in Cuban league play."

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 04:13 PM) umm Im in an ootp league and need a sig. I am the white sox gm so it should have a white sox background. I dont have any current white sox players on my team because we are in 2009 and I traded everyone. Can I have a white sox sig with any of the following players: In order of preference, but any would do) Francisco Liriano Wily Mo Pena Pedro Lopez (white sox farm Hand) Andy Sisco Jeff Francoer Like I said, I am not picky at all. Any sig you guys whip up would kick ass. Thanks edit: you can keep the players in the sig in their original uniform. I dont expect you to go through all that work of changing to a sox uni. Thats cheap, trying to get out of paying 50 points for one of us at DPBL to make it

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 09:32 PM) DJ cracked a joke about the pitcher. He said, "They brought him over because they needed bullpen help, but it doesn't look like you're getting any when you give up homers to AL Pitchers." Haha, I still need to see this Homer

QUOTE(allupons @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) I didn't mean either of their comments would be mean spirited. They are freinds and the clubhouse as we all know has a great atmosphere. I am just saying if Garland tries to tease Buehrle I think Buehrle has a hell of a comeback. I dont think either of them care what their ERA is as long as the team is winning and in the hunt for another title

QUOTE(allupons @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 02:52 PM) Anyone else thing that Hawk and DJ's comments about Garland having bragging rights over Buehrle is kind of stupid? I imagine the conversation would go a little something like this: Garland: So I hit a homerun. Guess that makes me a better hitter! Buehrle: My ERA is 3 points lower than yours and we are paid to be pitchers. Garland: yea.... that is true........ I doubt thats how the convo would go

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) I so called the Garland HR. Dude thats awesome, I called it earlier in the game chat

COME TO THE GAME CHAT ROOM

QUOTE(TLAK @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 11:53 AM) The White Sox have 13 games left with the Tigers. They don't need anyone's help, a championship team takes care of business by itself. The White Sox fans don't need to support whinny cub fans screaming 'let's go cubbies'. I hope the cub lose every single game they ever play, including against the Tigers or in spring training. I hope every little league team named cub finishes last. I won't shop at cub food. cub fans have tormented me for half a century and I hope they wallow in misery, hopelessness and despair. If the Tigers can add to their woes, so be it. I voted for the Tigers.

QUOTE(SABR Sox @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 07:04 PM) I don't give a damn. You know what 3 games in the standings means. I have news for you guys, this team is a REPLICA of what we were last season. Pitching is coming strong from the starters and bullpen, very strong. They're not scoring all that much either, like us. But they're pitching and that cannot be subsided. Not trying to question your reasons as to rooting for the Cubs or not, but I'm meerly pointing out that EVERY GAME MATTERS. And I still disagree with you

QUOTE(SABR Sox @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 06:55 PM) Why are so many Sox fans hateful toward the Cubs? Hey they suck, we know it so do they. We won the WS, we know so do they. They're not going to win with bonehead Jim Hendry and Dusty Baker, we know and so do they. So whats the point of hating them? Anyway, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES would I root for Detriot this season. And when the Cubs play the Twinkies and Tribe, I'll be rotting for the Northsiders again. I never said I was rooting for Detroit to win, but im not gonna sit here and be all "GO CUBBIES" because half the people on this message board are jumping off a cliff aside the fact were the third best team in baseball right now and were only a game and a half out of first in JUNE, the middle of June at that

I voted for the Tigers Honestly, I dont give a s*** if you think im a "real fan" or not.. I know I am Sorry, but a 1 1/2 game defecit in JUNE isnt something thats eating me away at the moment and I dont honestly believe that Detroit will be a game and a half better than us from here on out
