QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 27, 2010 -> 11:57 PM) Interesting that Konerko's going to address his free agency before Thursday's game. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...,0,768802.story "Next summer, I shall take my talents to South Beach to play with LeBron."

Watch us win out to not get a good draft pick. >.

Happy birthday man!

And back to the thread... LaRussa commented on coming back to coach the Sox, saying he loves Chicago, but St. Louis is something else, if it hasn't already been stated.

QUOTE (Twinsfan1965 @ Sep 26, 2010 -> 03:29 PM) Why am I a troll? Because I believe Valencia will be better then Morel? Very odd comment. Sorry, now that I've read your other posts, I see you're not. In past forms I've been on though, anyone with a name like yours and post count like that would be instantly called a Troll for baiting. My apologies, welcome to SoxTalk.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 26, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) Someone out there is annoyed enough with Denver's management to leak a "denver is dragging its feet" set of statements. This is only good news for the Bulls.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 26, 2010 -> 01:29 PM) So Manny, Konerko, and Rios get the day off, yet Ozzie still manages to not play Viciedo! Go manage the Cubs you ass and get fired after a week for ripping on the gay clubs in Wrigleyville. Ozzie's mishandling of Dayan should just be added to the laundry list of bad moves Ozzie's made this year.

QUOTE (Twinsfan1965 @ Sep 25, 2010 -> 11:28 AM) Valencia will be a .280 -.290 hitter with 10-12 homeruns and 60-70 RBI'S a season. Valencia will be an average fielder. Valencia takes the pitch to right field too often to become a .200 hitter. Valencia will be a better MLB 3rd baseman then Morel. This kids, is what we call a troll. Hi troll!

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 26, 2010 -> 07:16 AM) They don't have to come and give up, cuz we're gonna beat them. We gon' beat them, we gon' beat them. You can run and tell that, run and tell that, home team, home team, home home team.

QUOTE (Night Train Veeck @ Sep 24, 2010 -> 09:55 AM) October 1st against Cleveland! 7:10! Not only will this be the test drive, but there will be fireworks also! Interested? I am, but sadly, I am busy that night with Homecoming. I'll easily do this in the future though.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 24, 2010 -> 12:14 AM) I really enjoyed the fact that a discussion started comparing the power hitting abilities of Juan Pierre vs. Ozzie Guillen. +1

QUOTE (Night Train Veeck @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 10:15 AM) So, not only do we have an approved section for the game, but we also have an approved special ticket price! The Sox have agreed to both for that day's game, and now it will boil down to people interested in heading out and getting this thing going. I have already had a few people message me and send emails, so let me know if you are interested in heading out to the game, and any other ideas you have to make this thing great. Either shoot me an email at nighttrainveeck@gmail.com, or post a reply, and we can start getting it set up. If anyone has any other ideas, bring em on! Go Sox! Night Train Veeck Which game?

Just played Elite's demo...controls could work, but I'm glad Live's control system is still in.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 10:42 PM) Sadly that proves Gregs point more than anything. Guys fall. It happens. You just gave two good examples. My point was that we can't expect our luck to work like that every year.

I'm going to try the demos. I LOVED NBA Live and NBA Jam made me think about getting a Wii, but if Elite controls poorly, I'll probably go 2k11.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 10:30 PM) But we've been through this before. How do we know Beckham is not still available one or two slots either way. Ditto Sale. And if we don't get them, do we get somebody equally good? I mean lets say we are 10 out at the all star break. Would you be hoping we lose every game the rest of the way just to assure the No. 1 pick? I think it's too many ifs and buts to think that way. It's simpler to go out and play baseball and win. That other stuff is all crystal ball. Now the thing about compensation, I can buy that argument in some ways I guess. For the record, Beckham was projected to go 5, 6, or 7 in a lot of drafts. Sale was projected to go 4. It's a miracle he fell to us.

Joakim Noah's been my favorite player since we drafted him...but if he won't sign an extension and he's the deal breaker, you trade him. However, I keep upping the deal with picks before I think of trading Noah. The way Noah and Boozer complement each other perfectly and how as a duo they could neutralize Bosh, I want to keep that. And a group of Rose-Anthony-Boozer-Noah could give the Heat a run for their money.

Kotsay's a good pinch hitter.

LOL. Alexei blunder turns into Juan run.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 01:00 AM) Why didn't Scalabrine get an hour long special on ESPN to announce he was taking his talents to Chicago? He didn't feel like breaking Boston's heart.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 12:11 AM) http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5602165 I'd add maybe another pick or two to that deal if need be. I'd like to keep Joakim at all costs.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 12:05 AM) I'm not a huge NFL fan, and I'm disgusted by the NBA right now (although I like the Bulls and they are going to be pretty good). So I have the Hawks and college sports now. Beats homework, which just makes me sad. By the way, the title of this thread is a lie. Our tragic number is 2 in the Wild Card. So it's NOT mathematically ova yet! If we come back and win the wild card, I will drive to the Cell, hug every single member of the White Sox organization, then leave.

What are the odds we see Dayan or Flowers play now?

QUOTE (scenario @ Sep 21, 2010 -> 11:33 AM) Tony Pena is going to pitch in winterball (Dominican League) as a starter. Interesting. I bet KW is shopping him as a starter.

Thanks to Walk for all he did. He wasn't nearly as bad as people made him out to be. I'd assume Frank would replace him.
