Cowley is a joke and he seriously needs to be fired. Can't the organization just ban him?

What ESPN fails to mention is that he will have the lowest ISO of his career this season if he keeps it up. He's getting ever so close to Juan Pierre.

It was 2.65.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 07:18 PM) I know nobody likes to hear this argument, but if Konerko didn't play for the 2nd team in the 2nd city the guy is HoF. And he took a hometown discount to stay here. Him and Buehrle are the White Sox to me, why people even consider trading those guys is beyond me. Konerko doesn't get in regardless of which team he plays for. Unless he gets to 500 HR, he really doesn't have the numbers to be considered a Hall of Famer. I love Konerko, he and Buehrle are two of the greatest Sox of my generation, but his numbers are not hall worthy (as of now).

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 03:46 PM) D backs got Hill and McDonald from Blue Jays Hill is a good pickup for them. Edit: NVM, they traded Kelly Johnson to get Hill. That's a downgrade.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 01:08 PM) 410 feet doesn't seem too big. That's definitely not what she said.

Big game tonight. Masterson's pitching tomorrow, so we gotta get this one.

No...Adam Dunn is not getting sent down to the minors. Unless the Sox give him some BS injury and put him on the DL and have him do some rehab down there.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2011 -> 12:23 PM) Lebron James being dunked on and then failing to put his hands up to defend against a 3 in a game in Taiwan. I'm surprised LeBron's entourage didn't try to confiscate this video.

Cards fans I know hate LaRussa. He's like the exact opposite of Ozzie in a bad way - he overthinks EVERYTHING and tries to put his signature on every game.

I went to the game last night and stayed for the whole thing. I would have hit my head against a wall repeatedly had they lost. Thank you Juan Pierre! And oh, Tyler Flowers looks like a pretty good hitter. Funny tidbit: I don't know if this was heard on the TV broadcast, but when Choo was up in extras, the entire crowd did the Ahhhhhhh-Choo thing. The best part is that it worked and Choo struck out.

Z just needs to take the money he's made and get out of baseball. He's not even good anymore.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 11:40 AM) I think it is mostly Soxtalk that doesn't like him. I didn't even post on this site much when the A-Gon stuff came up. I honestly don't care about that. I don't dislike Cowley because of that. I dislike him for some of the other stuff he's said or done (like basically calling Gavin Floyd brain-dead) and just being an ass in general.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 11:36 AM) Cowley got in Soxtalk's grill a little bit and since then no one likes him. Weird stuff. NOBODY likes Cowley. The guy's a douche. It's not just Soxtalk. Your posting style as of late (especially the Hollywood crap) is basically what Cowley does.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 11:32 AM) I think it's an apt description of our tough-talking GM. "They're real Hollywood down there" - Joakim Noah when referring to Miami's Big 3 "Hollywood doesn't know what he's doing" - Marty34 when referring to White Sox GM Kenny Williams Doesn't have the same flare...

DiPoto sucked as a GM last year. If KW wasn't so nice to give up Hudson and Holmberg for one year of Edwin Jackson, DiPoto would have gotten the Diamondbacks the great Joe Saunders and some fringe prospects.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 10:27 AM) Give it up Cowardly. No one cares about your Guillen ass-kissing anymore. It's starting to make sense now...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 11:12 AM) Please god stop saying Hollywood. +1

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 10:12 AM) Despite what many on Soxtalk believe, there is no lineup combination on this roster that would average 6 runs a game. The best offense in baseball doesn't even score 6 runs a game.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 09:52 AM) Madden 12 demo is out. Dream come true! It's Bears vs Packers in Soldier Field!! You get to play a full game, 5 minute quarters. You can't mess with any sliders or difficulty though, and it's clearly raw with no announcers, but it's still a huge upgrade. I had enough time to play one half last night after I discovered its availability... got into the endzone with Forte like a boss. The rosters are nowhere near updated for the demo, but it's still a blast. Running game is FAR too easy on the demo. Passing is harder than previous years, or maybe it's because the Bears o-line blows and I don't get enough time. This year's graphics look great close-up, but from the normal gameplay point of view, they suck even more than last year's. The Bears players seemed like they had orange numbers (not supposed to happen...). NCAA did a decent job with the gameplay cam graphics, why can't the Madden team do the same?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 12, 2011 -> 09:07 AM) ESPNChiSox Doug Padilla Update on the Twitter play-by-play front: Next season MLB planning to stop in-game update tweets . We'll learn more later. As in stop reporters from tweeting in game? They can't do that...

Just bought tickets to Tuesday's game. Hopefully, they win the Royals series so that Indians series means something.

I think it was Danks who threatened Bautista. He and Bautista barked back and forth a bit earlier this year.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 09:13 PM) Juan Pierre 3-5 two RBIs and a run scored. He is hitting .281. Give it up for Juan Pierre. The most productive hated player in America. Also ... Mark, Konerko, Lexi, Sergio. Good road trip. It's put up or shut up time at home. He's definitely hated, but there's a lot of hated players that don't have a negative WAR (still).
