Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 30, 2008 -> 02:11 PM) Shut-up. You love my nerdy babble. Anyway, that kid asked! What was I supposed to let him do? Swim in a sea of ignorance when there was a cunning linguist right here to answer his questions? No, sir, that would not do. In the linguistics profession, just how often does the phrase "cunning linguist" get thrown around?

"Who would you rather be?"
QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Jan 30, 2008 -> 01:11 PM) So would everybody who would rather be Woods than Brady because of the money rather be Michael Jackson than John Mayer? I don't see what being bats*** crazy has to do with the argument.

Noah Lowry/Matt Cain (for some reason?)
QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 30, 2008 -> 01:05 PM) LOL, you just don't want to give up Egbert. Look, you stick Cain in this rotation, and your top 3 are Buehrle, Vazquez, Cain, all under your control for a long time, you have Contreras for 2 years, followed by Floyd and Danks. That gives you 6 pitchers, 5 if you can move Contreras, 3 of whom are very cheap, and you still have Sisco or Broadway/Egbert hanging out down at AAA for 1 more year. If you could move Contreras somehow, then you have literally a $27 million rotation 2 years after you spent almost 2x that on your rotation. I don't want to give up Broadway either. Neither of them are just throw-ins, and if the Giants are as close as they seem to being able to do this just based on their need for Crede alone, I've got a tough time giving up our two closest-to-the-majors SP prospects after already giving up one earlier this year. I have no faith in Sisco to be a competent starter (or even pitcher) at the major league level unless he figures his s*** out.

Noah Lowry/Matt Cain (for some reason?)
QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 28, 2008 -> 10:53 PM) If all it takes for Cain is Crede, Anderson, and someone like Egbert or Broadway... oh mama. If you can at all do it without "someone like Egbert or Broadway", that'd be better. You still have someone in Egbert who is perfectly tailored with his pitches for the South Side, while Broadway showed some pretty impressive flashes last year.

Octavio Dotel signs with Sox
QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 11:29 PM) Whatever. I still stand by my statement that without Pods first half, the Sox miss the playoffs. :notworthy

"Who would you rather be?"
Woods is worth more, and will be remembered as the best golfer and one of the top athletes of all time. It's not really a tough question. There's few people I'd rather be.

Octavio Dotel signs with Sox
QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jan 29, 2008 -> 01:43 PM) I think it would be a little more than borderline retarded to think the 2005 White Sox would have been about .500 without Pods. They would have been appreciably worse, which could have been enough to miss the playoffs.
-
Octavio Dotel signs with Sox
80-44 w/Pods in 2005 19-19 without. I got as fed up with Pods as everyone the last couple of years, but it's borderline retarded to say that he didn't have a big effect on that 2005 team.

Miscellaneous "White Sox" Trade Notes
QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 24, 2008 -> 11:01 AM) The Mercury News reports that the Giants will monitor Joe Crede this spring, and if healthy, there's a "good chance" they could acquire him for a pitcher. The Giants have reportedly been shopping Matt Cain, who would be a solid fit in the back of a Chicago rotation that is starved for experience. Giants special assistant Ron Schueler, the former White Sox GM, has been pushing the team to acquire Crede. If KW pulled this off, I'd almost feel guilty. You'd probably bake him some sort of cake as well.

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Jan 23, 2008 -> 03:20 PM) Chenoworthless??? I saw him again at dMb show last summer and almost spilled my beer I laughed so hard. I get reminded of his crappy soft game every time I tune in to see David Padgett play for Louisville. PS- Fair enough on the Cardinal, it still looks a lot more similar to a Jayhawk than it does a Cyclone. Our mascot is a bird, our nickname is a tornado, and our logo is a letter.
