Oh god, no more Ginter...

I agree, and I hope that this is just nothing, but right now, Colon, Buehrle, Garland, and Loaiza are all looking strong and 4 solid starters is A-OK with me.

I think Nardi Contreras's head would explode.

Ah, I see the wind is blowing from a new direction again...

Hopefully Saddam's troops have more common sense than he does. But WGN? :puke

But of course... Iraq is the real threat... http://www.charlotte.com/mld/observer/news/5344947.htm

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but its great. http://www.theonion.com/onion3905/north_korea.html I love The Onion.

Yeah, but think of all that oil. the US and the UK have signed promises with the UN not to touch iraqi oil I've been called naive a lot for my anti-war feelings. But to think American businessmen won't go after what could be the largest untapped oil reserve in world is almost ridiculously naive. Wait.... Take the almost out. why are you calling me naive??...all i said was the US and the UK signed an agreement with the UN that says they will not touch iraqi oil....how doe that make me niave???..i gave no opinion on it either way I never called you naive. I'm calling anyone who actually believes the US and UK won't touch Iraqi oil naive.

I'll have to wait for the BBC to report on it before I make a judgment on it.

I don't think any of those things are going to happen.

Yeah, but think of all that oil.

Well, Steve Stone is definitely more tolerable than Joe Carter. However, you still have to deal with the idiot Chimp Carey. Thank God for Sox-and-Roll... I can't stand listening to Chip talk about the "White Sock team." Ugh... What a buffoon.

I agree, if he has that cannon arm everyone says he does. I could see the Sox moving Maggs to left and putting JB in right, eventually. I would assume... That still leaves us with Rowand in center field until Webster is ready to take his place. Rowand f***ing sucks.

maybe we should wait till jose cansecos book comes out to compare notes on the roid thing huh.............does dave name names??? because jose's supposedly does........its due out end of march..........lol....... D Wells has always had diarrhea of the mouth. Like CWsox said he's a braggert..... and braggert's always exaggerate. Given the choice between believing D Wells or J Canseco, I'd believe Canseco. But, didn't Canseco say in an interview last year that 99% of MLB players are on some type of steroid? Maybe they're both egomaniacs and nothing they say should be believed. I could believe 99% of baseball players on steroids.

Borchard is much more suited to play right field.

Yeah, that about sums up what Fox decides to broadcast now. Fox is still, by far, the best network, but yeah, "Married By America" blows.

He better be or else this team is really, really screwed. Well, he performed really well with us this past year and I think he can do it again. From last year, his fullseason stats would be like 116 runs and a decent amount of homeruns and RBIs for a leadoff hitter. But those final two arent important for a leadoff hitter, I think some younger Sox fans might be dissappointed to see that Jiminez wont hit 20 HRs a year but they shouldnt. Power for a leadoff guy is not important. Hes supposed to be fast and good at betting on base, which Jiminez is... I really wouldn't consider a 27-game stint with about 120 plate appearances a "year." His career .344 OBP isn't bad... I'd prefer an everyday lead off hitter be a tad higher (See Durham, Ray... .352). We'll see... We all saw how good this offense can be when there is a decent lead-off hitter (Lofton in April of '02) and we all saw how god awful they are when they top of the order is not producing. And, IMO, order of importance to have a solid year for the White Sox to succeed... 1) Garland or Wright (either or, doesn't matter... But one HAS to step up) 2) Jimenez... We need someone to step up and lead off. 3) Thomas... Really need that big stick in the middle of the lineup. Thomas/Ordonez/Konerko/Lee is much more terrifying than Lee/Ordonez/Konerko/Daubauch at the heart of the lineup 4) Olivio/Alomar/Paul... Someone in this organization is going to learn how to catch one of these days. 5) Koch... Good bullpen = lots of wins 6) Colon... Has to prove that last year wasn't some crazy, unduplicable career year. 7) Rowand/Harris... Someone in this organization is going to learn how to play centerfield and hit one of these days. 8) Valentin... Sparkplug for the '00 squad needs to up offensive production to 2000 levels or else becomes a huge defensive liability with no upside 9) Konerko... A season consists of two halves, Paul. 10) Crede... The plus is that no one will challenge Joe for third, the down is that if Joe sucks a fat one, there's no on the Sox can stick at third until you get to like, A ball.

I read about it in Sunday's USA Today and the CNN Tower in Toronto will still have the new World Trade Center spire beat by like 100 feet.

The Christians who run this country are still so ass backwards that they think morals found in some stupid book written some 4,000-2,000 years ago are 100% infallible and like to ram those crappy morals down everyone else's throat. i agree 100% it is the people that live in the past that make this s*** illegal AHEM OK, if I looked hard enough, I could probably find an organization called, "African-Americans for the Reinstitution of Slavery," but that doesn't mean that they are the lone voice of all African-Americans. You can kick and scream and link all you want, but the fact is that marijuana is illegal in the United States because the Christians that have always been the political majority frown upon it for moral reasons. If they didn't have their head shoved so far up their asses, they would see that pot, like tobacco, could be a real cash crop and that legalizing it would only encourage teenagers (who, the vast majority of, are at least going to try and smoke weed at least once) to do so in a safe manner, instead of buying a dime bag off some junkie on the street corner that could be laced with god knows what. Those stupid ass, "Drug Money Supports Evil Things," commercials never fail to entice a laugh out of me. Instead of trying to encourage people not to do it, why don't you take the money out of the criminal's hands all together and just legalize the stuff and then tax the hell out of it? There's a way for Illinois to close its $12 million budget gap. And that doesn't even mention all the money saved on the War on Drugs, which could be used so much more effectively, like, trying to fight cancer and AIDS, which has thrived on illegal drug use and may become a North American epidemic similar to that in Africa very soon.

He better be or else this team is really, really screwed.

My junior year, a senior got busted with like $50,000 of drugs in his car. He was 18 at the time, and I think is now serving a 10-year prison sentence. And I do think they need probably cause to search a locker, but we had a couple every now and then.

Royce Clayton's 2 year stint is far worse than anything Frank could ever do. And Jaime Navarro, too.
