QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 22, 2011 -> 09:08 AM) I'd be pretty damn shocked if Buehrle weren't back next year. See also: sad.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 22, 2011 -> 09:38 AM) Andrew Friedman is way more deserving of praise than Beane is. The A's have only won one playoff series under Beane, and that was vs. the Twins, which doesn't really count anyway. Friedman, Daniels, Theo, KW, etc. all would make better movies. Friedman and Daniels both turned nothings into contenders. Theo and KW ended two of the longest sports droughts ever.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 22, 2011 -> 12:09 PM) Peavy? He was injured when we traded for him and just about every minute since then. And how many times have Dunn and Rios been on the DL this year? J.D. Drew was injured quite often before his Red Sox days.

That new Marlins logo f***ing sucks.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 09:18 PM) Kotsay/Thome, yes. but let's not forget that both of Kenny's kiddos are playing in the sox system. One was picked wayyyyyyyy too high. One of Ozzie's kids played A ball for a period and then got bounced. then the sox failed to pick Ozzie's other son, not once but twice. I think that -- along with the natural bruising that comes with two huge alpha male egos -- was also a major factor. be gone -- both of them. Neither one is worth the aggravation any longer. I think Sox fans would be happier with a more cerebral approach -- like a Friedman. They picked Ozney once, but it was an "insult" to draft him so low, so they didn't draft him this year because of the drama. And Oney.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 08:19 PM) I KNOW! Way to pour it on when they should be playing for the draft pick. That was in reference to Morel's shot. That was crazy.

Brent Morel ate some f***ing wheaties.

God. Damn.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 03:28 PM) I think I called him a troll the very first day he started posting. I don't think I called him a troll, but he sure as s*** annoyed me to the point of blocking, which I thought was impossible.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 12:35 AM) Sweet s***. Aninote.com is back online!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) What's up with all the noobs coming in guns blazing lately? STFU STEVE. THEY KNOW MORE.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) WTF, an enforcer? Why can't the next guy out just hit someone, take the warning, and call it a day? Because none of our guys do that. We need a guy we know will take the ball and stand up for his teammates, regardless of anything else.

Whenever Ozzie's wife yelled at KW in the parking lot. That's when it started.

It's sad when a baseball team needs an enforcer. I could see Peavy being an enforcer, but he'd injure himself. Crain is too valuable. Sergio is just nice.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 09:50 PM) Haha, that was the most thorough owning in Soxtalk history. The sad part is that he'll deny it or flat-out ignore it.

QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 12:00 PM) Why would anyone sacrifice their career knowing that if they did? Just sayin.... Because some people try to just ride over injuries. See; Peavy, Jake.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 11:19 AM) CSNChi_Beatnik Brett Ballantini Herm strolling out to see PK after HBP, without urgency ESPNChiSox Doug Padilla Konerko calling that HBP a bleeping joke. Still hot at first base. scottmerkin Scott Merkin Konerko about as angry as you are going to see him after taking Putnam's pitch off the left hip. Still kicking angrily at the dirt at first CST_soxvan Daryl Van Schouwen Konerko as hot as I've seen him after getting hit near hip... Reading lips, "Bleeping joke!" was his reax CSNChi_Beatnik Brett Ballantini Apparently you are no longer allowed to hit Paul Konerko with a pitch. An angry Paul Konerko would either hit 50 HR or 10 HR.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 12:35 AM) I have been searching for this video for years. Thank you J4L.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 10:02 PM) I'm betting on the French approach...

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 10:09 PM) Ozzie Guillen grew up in a foreign country. As far as I know, Oney grew up right here in America. How the f*** is his English so f***ing bad? It's infuriating. If he posted on SoxTalk...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 09:41 PM) He can put it on his resume/CV for Baseball Debate 101: Accumulation of Exponentially-Damning Evidence or Counterarguments Nullified. This is my new sig.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) I didn't know slugging % for a leadoff hitter was a requirement.. But it was .388.. To me OBP, (how often a player)Ks, Runs, and SBs. I could care less if they hit 20 hrs... That what your middle of the order guys are for. QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 09:06 PM) If you thought I was talking 2011, Pierre, than you are a bigger fool than the one who wanted Lilly to replace Dunn. And I have some Ocean property in Utah to sell to you. HRs are great, but if you think they are needed in leadoff spot, and not a luxury.. I suggest you educate yourself on the game. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 09:07 PM) but that doesn't mean that a HR isn't better! What is more likely to produce a run, getting to first base on a single, getting to 2nd on a double, or getting home on a hr? A leadoff hitter with a .340 Obp and 20 homers is a big upgrade on a leadoff hitter with a .350 Obp and 1 hr. QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 09:14 PM) I never stated a HR isn't better.. Just not needed as much. If your leadoff hitter is getting 20 HRs 1 of 2 things is happening 1. He is Ricky Henderson or 2. and More likely, your manager is wasting that players talent, and could be better served in the middle of the lineup.. like the 6 hole. Take for instance, Alex Gordon.. He should be playing at 5/6 in that lineup.. Since he is a better HR hitter and in theory more people will be on base for him to knock them in with his HR. At his current place of 1, the likelyhood 7-8-9 are on base.. Are not as likely as 2-3-4... QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 09:22 PM) He might also Turn white and have gold shoot out his ass... But the likely of these 3 things happening in 2012.. are slim and none... and None is leading by 20 lengths and slim is fading faster than the Sox playoff hopes in June. DODGED.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 06:52 PM) I think him playing LF, Rios in CF and Tank in RF is the 2012 White Sox Starting OF. Leading off, sadly he might be the best option. QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 06:53 PM) Why is that sad? If he is capable, then let him. QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 07:04 PM) At best, he has a Juan Pierre type season.. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 07:12 PM) At best? Juan Pierre can't run or field any more and has no power. De Aza with a handful of doubles would massively upgrade on Pierre. Only q is if he can keep the average up. He hits .270 and he is a massive upgrade on Pierre. QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 07:15 PM) The dude will be 28 right at the start of next year season.. History tells me, a 27 year old minor league getting his big break... isn't exactly a show stopper. So having a Pierre type offensive season, is the best we can hope for. Defensively My dead grandmother is better than JP. QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 07:19 PM) actually 23... But, making excuses isn't going to sell me on him not being that great. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 07:22 PM) He doesnt need to be great to be better than Pierre. Average would be a huge upgrade. QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) So hitting at or around .300, stealing 40+ bags, and having around .350 OBP... sound good to you? DODGED AGAIN.
