QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 10:53 PM) I've wondered if the sluggishness of our team might be related to the ban of amphetamines but I doubt it. Still, it's interesting Or the fact that they were already really slow to begin with.

Maybe he needs to reevaluate and explain his GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALS. I love Colbert.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 10:49 PM) This is a stupid thread. We're blaming Ozzie for the bad roster? "Just go out and get the team to play with energy!" What, should he get them amphetamines? No, you should.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 09:05 PM) So who have been the best selections on the 2nd day if you had to pick a couple, value wise? Jabari Blash certainly has the most awesome name.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 09:47 PM) You still didn't answer my question of how we're expected to match the rotations within the division in 2008 and beyond. 2008 = Egbert Beyond = We'll have Jack have lots of kids.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 09:38 PM) Russell has fallen off a cliff recently. Whatever he had earlier is obviously gone. Gonzalez better not falter one bit. His presence is key to our future, whether or not he's a future #2 or #4 (as people seem to believe). Still wondering how we're going to match the pitching staffs within the division. De Los Santos is still too raw, and too far away. Egbert could see his way to the pen this year as his skillset would work best at USCF, but I'd kinda rather that didn't happen. Lefties are still hitting him a bit. Lefties are hurting Russell. Gio is limiting both, but I'd be surprised to see them bring him up for the pen. Of course, Vasquez and Reynoso in AAA are slowing down now, and I don't see Oneli coming up. Best case, Aardsma figures something out. MacDougal hasn't pitched in a while, IIRC, so maybe they are letting him get some rest.

What's Day doing tonight?

Runelvys Hernandez was released on the first. How long til we sign him to try and fix things?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 09:22 PM) Our minor league players that have joined the big league team (Molina, Sweeney, Owens, Fields, Gonzalez) are now 16-108 this season with like 5 extra base hits. Yes, our future looks amazing! Amen! Truthfully, we should only care about 2.5 of those 5.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 09:17 PM) Might as well....give us something to look forward to. Masset needs to be sent down and given a chance to start. The only problem is, even those three are starting to slow down. I still don't think they are any worse than some of the guys we've got going right now. At least how they are throwing.

Why do I think we're getting close to calling one of the JAG trio up to try and help the bullpen?

This is part of KW's new draft plan to get better players......they have to be better if you pick sooner, right?

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 09:03 PM) I would love to see Anderson get another shot so we can see if he's in any of our future plans. Who knows if Ozzie will allow that though. I really doubt he is. And Andy Gonzalez is a right fielder like you are.

So, you know what removes wallpaper borders and whatnot really well? Joint compound. At work, we use it on borders to remove them. Let it sit for a little while, and it comes right off.

Yes

How does Molina look at 3rd?

The Sox stop after the 45th.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 05:12 PM) Who? Michael Jones, 6'5" CF out of Arizona State.

MIKE JONES

A 5'3" shorstop is hilarious.

Never too early to declare this draft an unmitigated failure, I guess.

f***tard

Jabari Blash is one of our best names this year.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 10:42 PM) I need to ask the question, Who would you rather have facing A-Rod? Bukvich, Prinz, Wasserman (held righties to sub-.560 OPS in each of the last three seasons, including batting .109 this season in Charlotte), or Egbert (2HR allowed in his last 230 innings pitched) (Obviously none is a great option) Heh, I was thinking about Wasserman. That's terribly depressing. Do you think the Sox would even consider Egbert as a reliever?

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 10:17 PM) Well you just let me know which of our prospects are going to "work out" whatever that means. Tell me please, and also tell me when they will "work out". What year. I like my odds better. I'm not saying any of them will. But there's a difference between having doubts about our farm system and dumping on it at every chance.
