QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 6, 2007 -> 11:35 AM) Erstad had a .340 OBP as a leadoff hitter when he went down, that'd not good at all. Matthews has been pretty outstanding this year where as Roberts and Pierre have been horrific. The problem with Podsednik is he's never fully healthy, meaning his production is always hampered by some sort of injury and when he is hurt it leaves no other option on the club to fill the role. So just the fact that Podsednik is on the roster tends to hurt the team. I wouldn't call Matthews "outstanding"...his OBP is only 12 points higher with only 9 stolen bases.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Jun 6, 2007 -> 10:55 AM) Funny thing about saying this is that it gives a real nice excuse for a bad start. What if the start was the start and the back was fine? Easy way to explain s***ty numbers come arbitration time next year as oppossed to the fact hat Joe isn't nearly the player he and Boras thought he was. So Joe Crede is a liar?!? Do you have any proof on this?!? So your theory is a professional ballplayer will risk have surgery on his back for no reason just to cover up a bad two months?!? Do you think before you post or just type whatever pops in your mind?? QUOTE(That funky motion @ Jun 6, 2007 -> 11:53 AM) Glaus has been hurt more that Crede with that foot of his. But Glaus can hit hurt or not. When Glaus gets hurt he doesn't play. He's already been on the DL once this year. He missed almost the enitre 2003 and 2004 seasons. Crede's mistake has been playing thorugh the injury and not taking care of it early.

Happy Birthday Sir Knight!!

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 02:59 PM) The last time the White Sox finished in last place was around like 88 I think, so that's basically 20 years or solid baseball. and 20 years of middle round draft picks.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) Scoot over.. Sorry...no room for you and your belly.

I got my Soxtalk cred and made my bones by taking out crazyman56. One up for Biggie!

*eats popcorn*

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 12:20 PM) All joking aside, if the organization decides that Fields is the man next year, I hope we stick with that plan for the whole year and that some of our fans understand. He's going to go through growing pains, and we're going to have to be patient with him. Patience and understanding are two qualities you will not find in a lot of fans here.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 12:15 PM) I see it like this: Fields goes 2-4 with a homer on opening day and everyone absolutely loves him, threads praising him and what not, next two days he goes 0-8 combined with 5 k's and Soxtalk is trying to trade him.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 08:12 AM) I just read on the elevator that you are twice as likely to get spy/adware from a file sharing site (19%) versus a porn site (9%) And did your wife believe that, Mike?

Prediction: Josh Fields goes 0-4 with 3Ks opening day 2008. Soxtalk starts "Dump Josh Fields thread" next day.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 10:54 PM) I agree, but I don't think either Fields or Crede is the answer. They both suck. No wait, let me think...nope Thank God you are not our GM.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 09:55 PM) Piffle. I don't think so...

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 09:16 PM) LOL nice throw Gooch. He's a pathetic fielder, wow. Have you been watching the game?!? Other than the first inning, he's made some great plays. Jeez.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 09:08 PM) Unreal. This pen is embarassing. I thought you fixed it Kenny? Can you tell me when Kenny said that??

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 09:06 PM) Jon Garland is a #1 guy? What the f***? Since when does being slightly above average make you an ace? Most wins by a starting pitcher over the last two seasons (36).

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 09:00 PM) The guy that sang Rhinestone Cowboy? Why I oughta...

I love Bruce Campbell! AHOY!! QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 08:58 PM) Posada, Matsui, Cano up and Garland at 114 pitches. Gotta put Thornton in. Good point, he threw another 15 or so pitches after that. He's in!

I was reading that the Yankees can still opt out of the contract with Clemens.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 08:48 PM) Napping. He was standing this time! I wonder what happened?

I just saw Harold Baines!! I wonder what he's doing there?!?

PAULIE!!!

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 08:32 PM) Good to see Tank is getting some airtime on ESPN This just in... Roger Goodell has suspended Paris Hilton & Lindsay Lohan for 8 games. He is out of control!!!!

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jun 4, 2007 -> 08:30 PM) another double-play??? Well...A "K" is good, too.
