I must be in the minority to be thanking the lord Thome is gone. The lefties I'd rather take his spot next year: Adam Dunn, Abreu, Matsui. I'd even rather gamble that Delgado will be able to stay healthy. I think KW is thinking much the same. It hasn't worked with Jim, so why keep doing it.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 11:23 PM) I guess some people just don't appreciate a World Series Championship nowadays. To hell with you Hawk! Thanks Jose, it was awesome when you were completely unhittable for a full year. Yea, and the ring was nice too. Gracias hombre!

QUOTE (Pumpkin Escobar @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 11:15 PM) I wish we could cut them both but you're right. Linebrink being cut serves us no purpose other then to send some form of message or something. Contreras sucks. He deserves to be cut and doesn't belong on a major league roster. The reason he'll remain is because of our relationship with his agent and how stupid it would be to embarrass him and have it reflect poorly on a goldmine relationship we have with cuban ballplayers and their desire to come here. Contreras has given ALOT to this organization, glad they were able to find him another place to play. To cut him would of made us look very bad, glad you're not the GM.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 06:45 PM) Per Heyman's twitter: Konerko and Dotel are available, too. "an annoyed #chisox gm ken willliams has let teams know dye, konerko, thome, linebrink, dotel, others are available." http://twitter.com/SI_JonHeyman Now you're talking to me baby, that I like!

If someone takes Thome can we stuff Konerko in his suitcase. He'd probably prefer to go where Jimmy goes anyway.

QUOTE (jamesdiego @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 12:09 AM) For some reason I feel very good about Jose manana. This will be the turning point of the season for the better. We're gonna get our confidence back and put on a nice streak. Balls to the wall, back to the playoffs. That or we'll get rained out and our season is done for. Off just a little bit.

Give the old man a shot to rise from the dead, redemption. It could be a great story, one they'll make a movie about one day......I'm in.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 04:01 PM) I think your being a bit harsh on Konerko and I find it hard to believe that Kenny would take anything with that subject line very serious. We can say what we want about Paulie, but he's been an above average 1st baseman and a high character guy during his tenure here and that goes along way. Could he be the man showed the door this off-season, sure, but I don't think its because the Sox are over him or dislike him cause that clearly isn't the case. They might think a new voice is needed and maybe to do that they move Paulie, but they might also find a way to keep Paulie and bring in a new "captain" so to speak or maybe Beckham starts to grab that role and AJ is given the title of Captain. Either way I see Konerko get spat on a lot and while I have no problem making changes I do think we should respect that he's been an above average player and a very good White Sox during his tenure. Yes, I hardly think KW will take my colorful email seriously either. More for his amusement while stating this one fan's opinion. To Paul, I thank you for all that you've done. Now go away please, we need new leadership.

I love it that most here agree on Konerko. KW and Oz have to have some of the same feelings we share. KW took my advice last year about Swish and Javy, hopefully he will this time about Paulie. In the email I sent him, I had the subject heading: "F*** Konerko". He has my opinion on the matter.

Yea, I'm with you nitetrain. Paul with his so called "leadership", and his puss comments need to go. Thome and JD as well, more for just getting old and regressing, but we need to purge ourselves of these nice guys as well. Pauls' ego is out of control. We need some balls, I don't know from where, but we need 'em.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 12:11 PM) Wow, all of these points were sound. Until the last one. Now, i sense sarcasm. Misguided sarcasm, but sarcasm just the same. However misguided my love for the black Ross Gload may be, it shall never die. I believe he has truly just been lying in the weeds, playing rope-a-dope. When he finally gets an opportunity when the time counts, he will unleash himself.

Nix all the way man. He's like cockrock, you can't go wrong. I've always read on here that Oz doesn't put enough emphasis on defense and too much on speed. So then why Getz over Nix? I understand the whole added lefty, better average added to it. I still choose Nix. Now if we can just find a way to get Deweezy more at bats....

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 6, 2009 -> 02:40 PM) I tried posting at wsi for awhile... Maybe try a prostitute, get some of that anger out of you. It's just too early to be upset, who the hell knows how this will turn out. And you've been kinda hard on Kenny, any hidden agendas here? Were you just as unforgiving to our previous "lighter shade" GMs? Did you turn on Schueler this early? I have nothing to base this on, and I don't mean to apply racism or anything? But are you a flippin racist man? JK Caufield, I'm bored. But you deserve to get played with sometmes.

I was your biggest fan on here Lil' Bridge, and now I can't stand the sight of ya. Easy decision.

QUOTE (joeynach @ May 4, 2009 -> 11:43 PM) This team is carrying 07 style dead weight, just not major players at all. 07: Pods Erstad Mackowiak Andy Gonzalez Luis Terrero Alex Cintron Danny Richar 09: Pods Wise Lillibridge Betemit Nix Contreras (sorry to say it) How bout we give Nix a bit more time before he goes on your **** list? 3/7 so far, with one game coming against the best pitcher in baseball right now. Only one of four to even get a hit last night. I guess thats not enough for your standards. You just lost our seat when the Nix ship takes off buddy.

Fields getting hit is a nice reason to keep the hot hitting Nix in the lineup. Oz & KW read my emails. I'm really curious to see how he's plays third, since he's only been playing it for a couple weeks, right? Move over Lil' Bridge, Nix my man.

Overreaction city. What's Ozzie suppose to say: "Wise?! Fat chance he'll ever see the field, we're riding Brian to the Series!'' I think he's just being courteous. Wise is already probably feeling down trying to rehab, while watching his replacement out play him. Why kick more dirt in his face, he knows whats up.

Lil' Bridge or BRG, I'm torn to death on that one. Choosing between my two man-childs. I'll have to wait to see if it ever gets to that point.

And now it begins, Lillibridge to the rescue tonight. Playing CF, battin 2nd. Anderson to RF, Dye to DH. Did Brent even play CF in spring training, how's his D? I think this means Owens is out soon, with Nix coming up. blog

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 09:50 PM) It's not my fault that Brian Anderson is a 40 homer player sitting on the bench! haha, well played. If Brian accepts the invite, maybe I'll make it an offical event for all the fanboys. Charge admission and donate the proceeds to White Sox charities. Instead of debating Brians defensive skills, ya'll could debate his real "skills". Think about, could be glorious.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 05:52 PM) I take it Brian Anderson threw a pet rock of yours into a river once upon a time. Come one fanboy, everyone knows neither of us are objective when it comes to Mr. Anderson. To make amends I invite Brian over, he can doink my cousin.

Do you hear that in the distance Brian? Yes, it's Lillibridge and his little footsteps of doom, he's comin for you. So you better keep on playing well Brian, or you will find yourself trampled with Brent's footprints making a path on your back. You have been warned.
