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. RF Jeremy Hermida - .355 2 HR 18 RBI 18 R 0 SB 2 BB 13 K 3. 3B Miguel Cabrera - .271 8 HR 23 RBI 17 R 0 SB 6 BB 17 K 4. 1B Mike Jacobs - .327 5 HR 14 RBI 15 R 0 SB 3 BB 14 K 5.

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

pfffffffffffffffft Its freaking June and were what, a game and a half back :rolly I aint rooting for the f***ing Cubs

QUOTE(lukeman89 @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) lol this reminded me of a joke my brother told me a while ago whats the different between cubs fans and cardinal fans? cards fans like pujols, cubs fans like poo holes! That is the worst joke ever

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 01:52 PM) I am going to have to disagree. You might be the genetic-genius but I'm sticking to my guns on this one. When bench pressing, it is mainly working one area of your sholders instead of the entire shoulder. This can be harmful to some because it can leave different area's of the shoulder underdeveloped. As a pitcher, this is a problem. Thats why our coach doesn't want pitchers benchpressing. It limits the movement in the shoulder. I've done quite a bit of research on this one. I agree with RockRaines. Bench pressing is an ego excercise. "How much can you bench?" Dude, you can disagree all you want but bench press works a hell of a lot more than just your shoulders.. Its a great lift for chest and arms, you arent looking at the whole thing here. It seems like youre just focusing on the shoulder part

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 05:57 PM) Oh, and bench pressing is WAY overrated. It helps you in no way whatsoever. When are you going to be able to push off of a wall in real life? Never. If you want to improve core strength, do squat presses. This is just an outrageous claim. Bench Press is a great lift to do because it works almost all muscles in the upper body.. Not to mention the MANY variations you can do like Incline, Decline, Close Grip, Wide Grip, Dumbbell, all working different muscles in the upper body Thats like saying squats are pointless, how many times in my life and I going to throw something across my shoulders and lift them up and down? As far as protein goes... Ide go with 100% ON Whey Protein.. the Vanilla flavor is good and I usually find the 5 LB jugs for like $20-25.. I also have some PM Protein which is a type of protein that you take before you go to bed, since when you are sleeping is when your body is really building itself QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 01:21 AM) Ssecondly, the reps vs weight discussion is legit, someone who points to genetics is too f***in lazy to work out. High reps with low weight is for tone, low reps, high weight is for mass. Genetics do play a HUGE role in someones ability to gain mass.. people who are just nautrally slim or small in size arent going to be able to just get huge, it just doesnt happen.. however, I do know what you are saying about people who are too lazy to go work out, and yes you are right on that in some cases.. but.. genetics are going to be a factor in your body type and what you are going to be able to do with it..
