Good observation and Welcome, too! Kudos, also, for not starting another "We Suck, Fire Everyone" thread.

Now let's be honest with ourselves here...They didn't "blow up their team" like it being suggested here. In 2002, they fired Charlie Manuel, they traded Einar Diaz and Ryan Drese to Texas for Travis Hafner. and Bartolo Colon to Montreal for Cliff Lee, Grady Sizemore and others. So that's one Manager and three players. Not exactly fire everyone and trade every except a few people scenerio being presented here.

QUOTE(diegotony06 @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 03:47 PM) You can't compare us to Cleveland, cause they are alot younger than us ALOT!! I'm not comparing the team to Cleveland. I'm using your overreaction as an example as why reasonable and knowledgable Baseball people don't just "Blow a team up" when they are playing bad for less then a year. Your theory is still silly. Keep only four players?!?

QUOTE(diegotony06 @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 03:30 PM) Blow the whole team up. I'm sick of it all. They are embarassing. I wan't KW gone, Ozzie gone, Cooper and Walker should have been gone along time ago. Just rebuild the whole team. It would be more entertaining watching a bunch of kids play hard, than these overpaid assholes. Rebuild the whole f***ing team, including the minor league system. I love these posts... KW Gone? Ozzie gone? Cooper should have been gone a LONG time ago?? When...when they were winning the World Series a year and half ago? LMAO Talk about reactionary piddle. Yes this team is playing bad, but if you think your methods are right...Whew, you live in a fantasy world. Let's put your theory to a test. Let's say a certain team that has talented players with a history of very good years and a good coaching staff with a history of winning had a bad season and they took your advice and "blew up their" team. That team would not be leading the AL central right now. aka Cleveland Indians. Feel smart now? Didn't think so. Injuries have plagued this team. Age is a factor. It is time for some changes, but to fire everyone and trade everyone is stupid.

QUOTE(whitesox07champs @ Jun 1, 2007 -> 11:23 PM) With the recent stupid managerial decisions by Ozzie guillen I am left wondering if changing managers wouldnt be the worst move for the white sox at this moment! If we were to get a new manager who could it be? I know many people are going to be mad for this but Dusty is a name that comes to mind. He just left a cursed cubs team which couldnt win if they had the 1927 yankees roster. Dusty did a bad job with the cubs but I believe that bringing him with the white sox would give this team the lift it needs! This was obviously meant as a joke, people. Wasn't it...? Because if you are serious then I cannot help you. Just remove yourself from society. Thank you.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jun 3, 2007 -> 01:14 AM) An interesting Lost theory here: http://lost-theories.com/theories/2007/may...xperiment-tale/ It's a long read and revisits the idea of time-travel. It's very well thought out and makes a bunch of bloody sense. I especially like what he says about the smoke monster. Interesting, but... It was written well before the final episodes where discovered who Ben really was in relation to the island and the Dharma group. Also, we can determine that Naomi could be simply lying about them finding 815 wreckage...etc.

QUOTE(Steff @ May 31, 2007 -> 02:14 PM) Is this real time? I think someone is in my pool... *Spits out water* Wha...?

QUOTE(fathom @ May 31, 2007 -> 01:51 PM) Fair enough....we can all agree that we just want to see them win at a greater rate than they have since last year's ASB. Maybe we had been spoiled by the success of the 2005 season and the first half of 2006....but we all expect more from this organization than what we've seen. Hell yeah

Here is the first look at the Mach 5 for the first big film of 2008, Speed Racer. It is being made by the Wachowski Borthers, who made the Matrix series. http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2...eed-racer_N.htm

QUOTE(fathom @ May 31, 2007 -> 01:27 PM) I'm shocked at this comment. Anyways, go back and read the game thread. This wasn't a case of second guessing by anyone. Also, for as long as Jenks has been with this team, I've been saying that I'd rather lose with him on the mound than anyone else. At least he makes the other team earn it. He has a history of not walking hitters in big situations and doesn't allow homers. For the usuals who keep sticking up for Ozzie at every turn, what's it going to take for you to start to question if he's the right man for this organization and where they want to go? Look, I didn't mean to offend you Fathom. Nor was it an attack. I feel Ozzie has a target on his head when the Sox lose. I think more onus needs to be put on the players than Ozzie. Does Ozzie make mistakes...yes. But I think he has made more good moves than bad.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2007 -> 01:32 PM) Has anyone played around with this yet? Its pretty crazy. I was just checking it out too! I was in Las Vegas, pretty wild stuff. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=en&...p;z=14&om=1

QUOTE(fathom @ May 31, 2007 -> 12:09 PM) Has he even tried to go more than one inning this year? And don't forget, he would have only been facing one batter in the 9th inning no matter what. Coming in and throwing 9 warm-up pitches and 6 pitches or so to Hunter is the same as warming up in between innings in the bullpen. I just think that Ozzie needs to do his best to get MacDougal and Aardsma more action in non-pressure situations in order to get their confidence up. And then when Jenks gives up the winning run in his second inning of work this place will scream for Ozzie's head again. "Doesn't he know Jenks wouldn't perform well in the second inning of work!?!" I have come to the conclusion about those who hate Ozzie... If Ozzie sneezes, you say he should have coughed. He'll never do anything right.

Sorry I can't make it either guys. I'm off to New York on last minute business. Kick some A$$!!!

QUOTE(striker62704 @ May 25, 2007 -> 01:02 PM) Great now Danks will lose to Santana instead of losing to Kazmir, who will both dominate our hitters. That's amazing you know that already. Hey, the Cubs are playing the Dodgers and the Marlins at the same time. Why don't you watch those games instead of the losers on the South Side.

Who is ready and pyched for the finale to one of the best action/fantasy movies series ever! (notice I said one of the best) Suntimes: *** Tribune:***1/2 Who is going tonight to the special screenings? I got my tickets for tomorrow!! According to early reports there are a lot of twists and turns in this 170min thrill ride. So keep the spoilers to a mininmum. Remember: "Dead men tell no tales..." Drink up!

The great thing about this series is just that...Once they answer some big questions, it always sets up bigger questions. Damn them

QUOTE(DePloderer @ May 23, 2007 -> 06:50 PM) By the way I do allow my daughter to go out most weekends, she even stays away occasionaly, but only because she socialises with a large group of her peers and I know them all. But then again you are in England and all she does is go to Tea parties and Fox hunts, right?

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ May 24, 2007 -> 08:50 AM) I felt good for Rousseau and Hugo. The van thing was kind of corny but you gotta like Hugo. To me that was one of the 'Stand up and Cheer' moments of the series! Which is what I did and scared my family upstairs!!
