SOX WIN!!! Always great to beat the losers. I always liked Broussard.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Mar 5, 2009 -> 12:32 AM) I hated the draft pick when it happened. He and his twin McCullough are perfect examples of low risk, low ceiling talent that we hopefully are going to avoid in the future. We already had this guy in our system before Felix Diaz. Except Felix pitched well at AAA. Were you excited when Poreda was drafted?

When we drafted Broadway I was excited but like so many other prospects he hasn't panned out yet. I wouldn't quite say he's a AAA pitcher yet though. He's still young and could possibly develop.

Given Richard's playoff performance, and his fearlessness, I like him a lot right now. If he can just keep the ball on the ground, I see him as taking the role of a Buehrle. Broadway looks like he still has a little bit to go.

If we're the home team why don't we get to hear Hawk and Stoney?

It's about time! Now I won't have to concentrate on trying to track scores and focus on the game, also possibly good for fantasy. Does anyone have a picture?

id rather see another starting pitcher. the rotation of buehrle, vazquez, contreras, danks, and either floyd, gonzalez, haiger,broadway etc.. scares me. sign a-row, get a pitcher.

I feel that Bmac was great until tghis whole long reliever thing happened. He should've started in the rotation this year. Now mentally he's extremely screwed up. We ruined a tremendously talented pitcher by sticking him in the bullpen to mop up.

i bet garland will bounce back. he pitched too well last year and this year in spring training to revert back to his old form. i think the stuff with politte is location. even with all of the things going wrong with pods, brian anderson garland and politte we're still 6-5.

For some reason on my computer at home I can't get on ST. On this computer that's not at home I can get on. At home my computer says error you are not permitted to use this board... Why is this happening? It started last week.

The time he was referring to was pre-world champions. We'll see how much he misses the south side after we rock him for 4 runs in the bottom of the eighth. (Thome slam)

I'm very happy about passing 2 mil alreaduy. I always was envious of watching other parks filled up and the cell only had 20,000. To me its fun to go to a game where most of the park is filled. It's depressing when only 15k show up. GO SOX!

One of the only lhp relievers i could find is Buddy Groom. Are there any more? Groom could be a good veteran to come out of the bullpen.

i think.

Presenting the 2005 World Series Champions Patch: Patch

i still havent got my al champs stuff and i ordered it the night they won.

what were the white sox last year before they won? i think they actually were the most miserable.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jan 9, 2006 -> 10:30 PM) You're definitely not alone. I'm can't wait to get this thing started again. Fortunately, I've got the Bears, Bulls and Illini to tide me over until then. I definately agree.

we should get hawk to plug soxtalk more often.

From the high of the Chicago White Sox breaking their own curse and winning the team's first championship since 1918 to the low of Rafael Palmeiro earning a suspension for steroid use soon after collecting his 3,000th hit, the past year in baseball seemed to have a little bit of everything. Idiots.

The Freddy Garcia deal looks very good now.

I always will support the marlins after 2003. Hopefully they'll stay in miami.

just put the world series champions logo on the screen. it says enough.

World champions add Thome's bat Jerry Crasnick for White Sox for Phillies The Move: The Chicago White Sox acquire first baseman Jim Thome and cash from Philadelphia for center fielder Aaron Rowand and minor-league pitchers Gio Gonzalez and Daniel Haigwood. Upside for Chicago: Thome averaged 47 homers a season from 2001-2004 before back and elbow injuries limited him to seven homers and 30 RBI in 59 games this year. The White Sox think he'll be fine physically, and he should be invigorated by the move to Chicago, which is closer to his family home in Peoria, Ill. If the White Sox can re-sign Paul Konerko, Thome will provide some serious protection as Chicago's DH and No. 5 hitter. And if Konerko signs elsewhere as a free agent, White Sox general manager Kenny Williams won't have to scramble as hard to make up the lost production. Upside for Philadelphia: Trading Thome resolves GM Pat Gillick's most nettlesome dilemma -- finding a spot for 2005 NL Rookie of the Year Ryan Howard. Rowand brings some passion to a laid-back Phillies clubhouse, and his all-out style of play should be a hit with Philadelphia fans. He gives the Phillies some speed and is a fine defensive center fielder, a necessity considering that he's playing between the relatively immobile Pat Burrell and Bobby Abreu. The addition of Haigwood and Gonzalez brings a couple of promising left-handed arms to a farm system that had grown a bit thin in recent years. Haigwood and Gonzalez went a combined 27-9 in the minors for Chicago this year. Downside for Chicago: Thome is 35 years old, and even though the $22 million the White Sox received in the trade minimizes their risk, it remains to be seen if he has three big power seasons left in him. Rowand, with his ultra-competitive nature, was an integral part of Chicago's clubhouse mix, and his teammates will miss him. The White Sox plan to give his spot to Brian Anderson, with prospect Chris Young (26 homers for Double-A Birmingham) next in the pipeline. The White Sox project Anderson as a .280-25 homer-20 stolen base guy, but he's still young and will experience some growing pains in 2006. Downside for Philadelphia: After hitting 24 homers two years ago, Rowand regressed to 13 longballs this year. His slugging percentage took a huge dip from .544 to .407 in the process. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel is giving some thought to hitting Rowand second in the order behind Jimmy Rollins. But Rowand, with 207 strikeouts and only 62 walks the past two years, might be better served hitting further down the order. The success of this trade will ultimately hinge on how Howard responds to playing full-time. The biggest question is whether Howard can get the job done against lefties. He batted .148 (9-for-61) in limited duty against left-handers this season. Big Picture: Both general managers deserve some credit here -- Williams for refusing to accept the status quo after a World Series victory, and Gillick for thinking boldly enough to resolve a logjam that most people figured would linger until spring training. Now both men can turn their attention to their prime free-agent targets, Konerko in Chicago and Billy Wagner in Philadelphia.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll miss arow but Thome is gonna put up monster numbers.
