Wise Master Buehrle

My favorite quote is: "Mother is the same age as baby." Think about it, it's true.

www.timecube.com This guy is crazy, you should read what he proposes. I don't have the energy nor the idiocy to convert his insane ramblings into simple sentences, but you can read the first few paragraphs and get the gist of his whole ramble. I feel like knowledge has been sucked out of my brain after reading/hearing it. I listened to radio interviews.

Thanks Jas. In addition to my post, I believe we shouldn't jump the gun on Jeremy Reed. I think a year of AAA would be good for him, unless he blows our minds in Spring Training, of course.

Yep, I AM losing it... wrong forum guys, if someone would kindly move this, it;d be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

For the 25-year-old center fielder, this rare Winter League appearance is all about gathering extra at-bats and on-field time to stay sharp for Spring Training. It's a luxury Rowand couldn't afford last year, losing his entire off-season and almost his life to a serious dirt bike accident outside of Las Vegas on Nov. 1. "The hard part was no baseball activity all off-season," said Rowand during a late-season interview regarding his accident. "A lot of older guys don't hit, don't pick up a bat until one week or two before Spring Training, and go out and rake. I'm not one of those guys. "I hit all off-season, two or three times per week. Not being able to do that for me, not being able to stay in that comfort area where I have my swing down, I lost my rhythm. Not being able to hit for four months was like starting over." Rowand spent a large portion of time prior to the 2003 season recovering from an accident that left him with a broken left shoulder blade, broken rib on both sides and a bruised left shoulder. Instead of simply doing his normal workout routine and then focusing on baseball, Rowand spent five hours per workout, five days per week trying to rehabilitate from his array of serious injuries. There was extensive work dedicated to range of motion activities, trying to stretch out his shoulder. But the lack of baseball work cost Rowand at the plate when April rolled around. After hitting .268 during 17 games in Spring Training, Rowand struggled mightily at the start of the 2003 regular season. He hit .133 (8-for-60) in 60 games before being optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on May 1. Rowand stood in front of his locker after a game against Oakland, answering all questions about his reassignment and doing anything but hiding from the truth. The team was in a terrible offensive funk as a group. Rowand knew they couldn't hide a player failing to make contact. "I wasted 60 at-bats early on in the season that I wish I could take back and start over," Rowand said. "It took a while to get back in the groove. I was not near game ready as far as baseball when I got to Spring Training." Rowand hit .242 in 32 games with Charlotte but cre dits current White Sox hitting coach Greg Walker and Greg Ritchie, who replaced Walker with the Knights upon Walker's promotion, for rebuilding his swing and getting him back on track. The young outfielder returned to the White Sox on June 10 and hit .387 (37-for-97) with a .629 slugging percentage and .408 on-base percentage the rest of the season, finishing at .287 with six home runs and 24 RBIs. His biggest hit came June 28 against the Cubs. Rowand's two-run homer against reliever Antonio Alfonseca in the eighth inning dramatically tied the game and gave the White Sox a chance to win it in the ninth. Rowand said after the game the only other hit to rival such importance was his first career home run off against Jason Schmidt. This up-and-down offensive pattern has followed Rowand, a .273 career hitter with 17 home runs in 582 at-bats, in Puerto Rico. He started off in a 2-for-20 slump but has been ripping the ball since for Santurce, currently hitting .247 with six home runs and 17 RBIs. With Carl Everett not being offered arbitration by the White Sox and possibly headed home to Tampa Bay, the center field job appears to be Rowand's to lose for the 2004 season. But Rowand has heard that tune before. He figured to start entering 2002, only to have the White Sox acquire Kenny Lofton before the start of the season. Shortly after Rowand returned early last June, general manager Kenny Williams picked up Everett for the playoff push. But Rowand will be prepared in 2004 -- physically, mentally and baseball-wise thanks to his extra time in Puerto Rico. There's also no chance of repeat problems with the dirt bike, as those days are behind Rowand for now. "I was less than a quarter of an inch from death," said Rowand of his accident. "I came close to nicking my aorta with the broken rib, and if I did that, I would have bled to death in the middle of the desert. "There's going to be no more riding until I'm done playing baseball. I have a wife and kid to think about. I've been riding my entire life, but it's a reality check as to what is really important. "As much as I've loved doing it my entire life, baseball is more important," Rowand added. "I love playing this game. I love being around all of my teammates. I love being a part of something." Let me quote something which I think is very important in this article... I want him in Center Field, we do NOT need anyone else. I believe in the Arrow. Not to mention he's a stud in CF.

WHy would I cut my hair!? I love my hair, and don't ever want to cut it, maybe trim, but not cut! By the way, I get it for free, paying for a haircut = stupid, unless it's a special style haircut dealie.

LOL! Never underestimate Microsoft Paint.

Man, I don't even think we offered Sully a contract.

WTF!? This is horrible.

Offspring was ok in their early days. Nothing too special now.

Jesus f***ing Christ. Great job people, Sullys a f***ing stud and the Royals get him. You f***ing dolts threw away the division next year. I hate this teams management. Brainless assholes.

Yup. Works too. I read that whole thing perfectly.

Blimey, I saw the other topic. I fear myself losing control! #2 Sorry peeps.

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylc=X3oD...ov=ap&type=lgns TORONTO (AP) -- Right-hander Kerry Ligtenberg and the Toronto Blue Jays agreed Monday to a $4.5 million, two-year contract. The 32-year-old Ligtenberg went 4-2 with one save and 3.34 ERA in 68 games with the Baltimore Orioles last season. The Orioles declined a $1.2 million option and opted not to offer him salary arbitration. ``We're very pleased,'' Ligtenberg's agent, Lonnie Cooper said. ``Toronto showed a commitment. It's one of the teams that Kerry wanted to play for.'' ADVERTISEMENT The Blue Jays need a setup man for their inexperienced bullpen. Cooper said they talked about Ligtenberg possibly being the closer. He has a career mark of 16-14 with 45 saves and a 3.09 ERA in 322 relief appearances with Atlanta and Baltimore. ``Kerry just wants to make a contribution to a team. He's played in different roles before. He's willing to do whatever it takes,'' Cooper said. Ligtenberg will make $2 million in 2004 and $2.5 million in 2005.

I gotta hand it to you, man, you have some class. I know that you're a fan of Eminem, and most others would retaliate just calling me a dumbass and whatnot, but you responded well. Touche.

Eminem is a waste of space, air-time, shelf space, air, money, and any other things.

Juan Gone and Guardado, I suppose.

Woooooo! Favre is being rushed and throws one destined for the sideline but is intercepted! 14-0!

Those last 2 throws were $$$$$. 7-0 Bears

Bwahahahahahaha at Sonix's pics.

It'll be back soon. Now we have 6 teams.

Offer them Jose and Maggs or Koch and Maggs, when and if they sign Kaz (rumors say he is leaning towards them), for Kaz and some other guys. Or is Kaz untradeable?

Yes, but I still see no reason as to why we couldn't get rid of Jose's 5 mil and take Kaz's 5 or 6 mil, it's pretty much the same and we still have the cash for pitching.

If this goes through, this frees up about 5 million, correct? PURSUE LITTLE MATSUI, and look for a taker for Jose. DO IT KW DO IT.
