Yay.

The Gordon Beckham video posted really hit home for me. It reminded me a lot of my father and I... of our history together playing baseball. Of course - anything related to baseball for us - was related to the White Sox. We both bleed black and white. I thought it would be a cool thread to allow everyone to have a place to post their favorite White Sox and family related memory in one place. I'll begin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I remember as a kid my dad and I would always go see the White Sox play when they came into town. We lived in Southern California so the only time that we where able to see the Sox was when they came to see the Angels. My father would always take work off for the entire series so that we could catch all the games. He'd get us a hotel room within walking distance to the park. I remember in 1992 when we went to the park early for the first time to meet the players when they arrived. Frank Thomas showed up and started signing for everyone. My pops and I stood in line and waited. Once I got up to the front of the line - Frank and I took a picture together. I was a dwarf compared to him. That day started a tradition for my dad, myself, and Frank Thomas. Every game the Angels played against our Sox for the next 10+ years - we'd always go early and stay late waiting to meet the Big Hurt. Pretty cool stuff =)

Great great video =)

Hope to see you around for years to come.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 15, 2009 -> 08:40 PM) I love the HR and RBIs, really dislike the Ks. I guess I'm not that familiar with him - what's his story - all i knew was that he is a 40 HR 100 RBI regular

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 15, 2009 -> 08:33 PM) Someone else mentioned it earlier, but Adam Dunn wouldn't completely surprise me i would absolutely love to have dunn

We're trading for Albert Pujos and Tim Limsecum tomorrow - duh

Very interesting to say the least. Could turn into something cool. Redemption song.

i'm suprised he blows that much now - i guess i don't know how bad he's been of late anyone got a quick run down?

"Daniel Cabrera is in search of a 40-man roster spot on some team this winter." - MLB Trade Rumors KW has always been in love with this guy. I like the odds of him being brought in to compete with freddy and be a guy from the pen who is a backup starter along with hudson. just a guess.

I believe they're called: "Trogladites"

that other message board is WSI and the thread you are referring to was started in reference to this thread =D why don't we merge with those guys.... soxtalkinteractive.com

you mean - very comfortable hitting against mark burhle =D

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 03:14 PM) I'd offer up Hudson + Flowers + Viciedo + D2 + any 2 other players on the farm. The only way I see the Pads balking at that deal is if they can get some other team to offer up a more established young MLB ready starter. I could see someone like the red sox offering up Bukholz ( however you spell his name ) or Lester. We don't have a player like that who we can afford giving up. On the other hand - I don't see the Red Sox offering up three quality prospects like Flowers, Viciedo, and D2. If the sox had the option to get Gonzalez for that package - they'd be dumb to walk away. Either that - or the Sox brass think Gonzalez and his 40 HR year was a fluke and they don't want to buy high.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 07:54 PM) De Aza? Is that a new Wu Tang member? Is your signature a joke? The wonder boy, mr. 10.80ERA linebrink, tony - im head of the mediocre class, and dwane "the catch that justified my entire salary" wise? Fighting the fight of 2009??? Yea - that's gotta be a job =)

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 07:48 PM) Will De Aza have a chance at winning a starting job? I hope not.... He'll be our starting DH and will lead off Duhh - don't you see the master plan. Where's that green text button thingy?

i second that statement

pods - swisher - michael jordan - and dye.... in a threat dedicated to talking about rios and his swing. ADD much??

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 7, 2009 -> 07:54 PM) ding ding ding ding ding although if you read threads here, you'd think he was the worst player in the MLB and KW got murdered on "trade" for him. The purpose of this thread was not to evaluate the trade or look at Rios from a perspective of value... I was hoping to speak to his current difficulties and see if anyone had made some observations that would provide a new insight. =)

Alright gang... We've seen a small sample size but putting his numbers aside - he looks god awful up there. I know next to nothing about him... which is one reason for me starting this thread. However, just by looking at him swing the bat - I'm always left feeling sick to my stomach. His stance and swing is nothing near smooth, fluid, and compact. He seems to have a ton of movement in the foundation of his body while the pitch is coming in... For those more well informed in the area of baseball mechanics... For those more well informed with the 50+ million dollar man... Alex Rios.... Shead a little light on my life.

anyone know the link to the internet radio feed of 670?

bOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

like your momma?

what good is a chat room if your the only one in the room? =) how is the game looking? any ETA for baseball?
