Joe Cowley getting his revenge by trolling soxtalk for eternity haha

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 4, 2014 -> 09:32 AM) But what if he only hits homers from here on out? Probably means he performs some black magic.....and therefor is another reason he should be our starting catcher

If Nieto gets one more single he has my vote for our starting catcher

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 2, 2014 -> 11:11 PM) Good for you. I was a big fan of his until that game in Boston. I almost got kicked out of an Arizona country club for drunkenly cursing his performance so much, it is hard to forgive him, despite what El Duque did. I had no memory of Marte even being responsible for the bases being loaded. Only had the memory of El Duque's masterful work. But I am glad Marte screwed up, because without it happening we wouldn't have that memory of that El Duque saving our asses.

After Iguchi, a close second would be Timo Perez playing for the Long Island Ducks. COME ON TIMO!!

Gotta be Tadahito Iguchi. He is playing on another team.......just happens to be in Japan. Where I'm sure he's making upside down ninja throws on a daily basis

Good read. Like hearing about foreign fans and their take on our sports. Not sure if you'll get alot of replies from other foreigners as I'm not sure there are a ton of white sox fans. Interesting that 10-15% of your friends like our Football. And very interesting that Hurling over there is completely amateur. That they play for their home areas is pretty cool and must make rivalries crazy with pride. Saw some videos on youtube, looks intense. My grandpa was a fan, he was born in Ireland. From the southwest, I think Galway

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 18, 2014 -> 11:49 AM) I just checked, and the grammatical error is actually Bruce's and not an error/typo by timbo. Makes me sad that somebody who makes that kind of mistake gets paid to write and report for a living. Yes me too..... it bothers me a lot. Grammatical errors make me lose my boner

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 17, 2014 -> 11:44 PM) Is it just me or have dicks and balls been discussed in every topic this week. This is a f***ing White Sox site. If you're looking for a place to chat about the sex organs, gtfo This post just made me want to go jerk off

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 05:09 PM) It is easy in hindsight. The Sox didn't believe in McCarthy. That's why they didn't want him in the rotation, and why they traded him so quickly. Wasn't the rumor back then that Kenny traded McCarthy because there was a confrontation, when KW was hitting on Brandon's gf? haha Good times. You don't give Kenny the booty he wants, then you're out the F'n door man. Not that any of it was true

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 02:37 PM) Thanks Ozzie. Hope you enjoyed your time with Mark K. And Kotsay's wife I miss her I just remember Ozzie turning the tables on the Thome fiasco, whining non stop that he was getting blamed when it was an organization decision not to bring him back. He just was to coward to man up to his call

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 8, 2013 -> 12:25 PM) Didn't hear the interview, but heard some red flags about his work habits last year from my guy. I did not post it here because I knew I'd get jumped on for it. Anyway, when it was announced that Hahn was taking over I figured that was the reason KW was "slacking." Forgive me for not believing a single word you and your "source" says. Rogers is just butt hurt that KW called him out publicly on his idiotic baseball writing. Probably keeps poor Phil up at night

LOL Those last two lines about Thompson are priceless! The Ice Cream Man....... funny yet very creepy. Thx Caufield It's been talked before about JR's cozy gift of a deal for Bacardi Park, which was a complete screw job on the tax payers. Even though it would help make the Sox more money....and in turn invested into the team. It is still shady as all hell and not right.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 24, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) And of course in the first video you posted the stadium is half empty. And the chicks in the second video, meh. The bleachers were empty because there were no girls dancing there, which just reinforces my point. My Sox dancing latina plan calls for girls dancing on the centerfield concourse and that solves that problem. And there were definitely a couple in the second vid that would be getting it good. They would bring the people and the money to the cell.

Sex sells.....I'd say some T n A would help get some more butts in the seats. Look at what the Blackhawks did adding in those scantily clad ice girls. They do it right in Latin American Baseball. We need to import these girls and get rid of the ones we have. Put them on the dugouts and on the centerfield concourse........and there you go, problem solved. I'm serious, let's do this Brooks

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 08:51 AM) Its relatively new but I am already tired of Hawk's "It's All Good!" line. It was good the first couple times he said it. It really fit the moment. But I'm sick of it by now.....do we now have to hear that crap after every home run? It makes me cringe and curse like whenever I hear the "don't stop now boys" bs. Anytime I could hear the other teams announcers is becoming a blessing. I used to love Hawk too, he needs to go away

No ****ing way do you trade either Quintana or Viciedo for a rental. Hell no. Pick from the pack of Floyd(prospects), Jones, maybe Reed, Mitchell. De Aza would be tough. Hope KW doesn't do something stupid

Soon enough the Tigers will come back down to earth, they just caught us at a bad time. A typical up and down season. Yes, imagine that......a baseball season full of ups and downs, Hmmm...I've never seen that before. The calls for blowing up the team already are insane and foolish. Let's just wait this thing out, it has been streaky all year. A good streak will come around, people need to relax

I'd rather have Stults than that bum Ohman

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 6, 2012 -> 02:59 PM) totally. it's obviously not a GIVEN, but my opinion the risk of an injury is worth taking if the benefit is having an ace starter. he could still blow out his arm as a closer. I would rather see them try to work on his mechanics before he goes and try starting again. Why just go and blow out his arm and see him gone for a yr with TJS, when he could possibly avoid it if they fix his mechanics.

I don't think the book is just yet closed on Strasburg, we'll see how long he can last. Found a really good article breaking down Strasburg's mechanics and Tommy John surgery. Rizzo doesn't believe his mechanics caused his injury and are not gonna change anything. Verducci brought up other pitchers with mechanic issues who had TJS Read more: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writ...l#ixzz1u7nj1Pvb I don't think it's a given Sale can come back from TJS without any future issues without working on his mechanics.

I completely understand the reason for people being very disappointed with the Sale news. But what I don't understand the theory that the Sox brass are only doing this only to stabilize the closer situation. Or that some feel this is just a bad option the Sox are taking, that they don't really have to do this. At this point, I think the Sox feel that there is no other option. I will keep faith in Herm, Coop's and the rest of the Sox brass knowledge and opinion here. I'm sure there is some more info to this than we know, but I believe they are telling the truth in that they feel Sale is doomed to injuring himself very soon as a starter. It's just ridiculous to suggest that the Sox would not prefer to have Sale being their darling ace of the future. They just feel he can't. I don't fault them one bit for thinking that Now I would be very pissed if they don't try and change Sale's mechanics some so he may have another shot at starting in the future.

Maybe they want to give him time to work on his mechanics. Try and get rid of his inverted W like Brandon McCarthy was able to. And if he can, maybe they'll give him another shot at starting. And if he can't, then he's a reliever for good.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 19, 2012 -> 11:05 AM) Lots of comments and analysis on Gordon Beckhams swing, etc. It's almost like we think he isn't working on getting better or is a tremendous flop. Beckham will be working on his own and with those on the team that can help him get back to where he needs to be. It would be interesting to go back to when Robin V went 0-41 and see what fans were saying back them about Ventura. Robin is in Beckham's corner and that's good enough for me. I am sure if the organizations leadership thought Beckham was a lost cause we would have seen him gone by now. Patience and hard work will pay off and I think the kid can do it. It's not like he was a long term vet on his way down. He is a young talented player with a future. It's not like this is the first year he is struggling. People are frustrated because he seems to be regressing every year, not getting better. Hopefully last night is a sign of things to come. I doubt it though, I think he needs time in the minors to work everything out.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 01:42 PM) Even Hawk and Stone are talking his swing in the booth so obviously everybody's aware of it. Hawk says "there's not a single thing wrong with his mechanics". I'm sure if we could see Stone he would be looking at him cross eyed I wish he took KW's advise at the end of last season to try to go back to his original swing and approach. Wonder if he has ol' Walk in his ear down in Georgia. I could just picture them in the laboratory working on his monkey mechanics, and this is freak show they came up with. Of course this is all joking conjecture, but it makes me wonder They are not going to wait till half the season is over, this train wreck has to stop in a couple weeks. Robin must be just hoping against hope now and giving Beck's every opportunity. It will happen shortly though. There's no reason Lilli shouldn't get the first shot
