So when do we get Wilson and Ozney? I'm amazed Wilson is still available for this long, thought some team would take a flyer. Oney is a douche.

QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 10:30 AM) In all seriousness, anyone worried about his arm-angle or the fact that Brent Lillibridge could clearly kick his a$$? I don't get the Lilli thing at all. Still very amped over this pick.

Every time Gordon Beckham gets a hit.. I have been an angry man this year.

I'd love to get Wilson this round, then eventually load up on some more LHP's.

Sox lucked out...both of them. I was hoping Castellanos or Ranuado would magically fall. Oh well. Wilson is intriguing...we pried TT from college, so perhaps another mega tools OF is in order.

Take Grandal or Sale KW. One will be there, and that wasn't supposed to happen.

Being able to pick from Grandal, Castellanos, Sale, Ranuado, and Wilson would be magical. And all the more frustrating if one isn't a Sox draftee.

Castellanos and Grandal are still on the board...

*Fingers crossed for Castellanos/Wilson/Ranuado* It'd be insane if Wilson magically fell to the second round (we have no supplemental picks, right?)

Happy birthday man!

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?! It's not over until WE decide it is! LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 11:15 PM) I would LOVE Castellanos. He, Colon or O'Connor would make me happy. I HOPE the sox take a position player with their 1st pick, but I just don't see it happening in any way, shape or form so I'm slowly dieing to our next pitcher Wojo, Workman or Wimmers. Prove me wrong sox! (BTW, if Whitson falls that far in the draft, and we don't take him, I'm going to be pissed) There are gonna be a few prospects that fall, believe me. I still got Austin Wilson falling to the second, possibly third round in my personal mock. I just met a kid named Nick Castellanos. He's pretty cool, and I want the prospect one. If it's not Wilson or Ranaudo or Castellanos, I'll probably be bummed. So it has to be Castellanos.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 5, 2010 -> 12:25 AM) Wow... looks like Tom Thibodeau will get an offer to be our new head coach. (and I would like to say he should have been hired 2 years ago, but then again.. this is our organization) Good call by DBAH0 advocating this for two years for us as well. I like Thibs, and a big rumor (hope it is true) that Mo Cheeks might join us as an assistant (and Ron Adams... careful Joakim...) as well. (which can only help Rose and who was my 1st choice for weeks before Thibo-mania stepped in) Also remember... Thibs recently joined WWW which has that other big name FA who shares the same agency... hmmmm... LINK. more at link... Thibodeau and Cheeks would be a dream come true. Also, World Wide Wes has far to much power.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 4, 2010 -> 10:42 PM) After speaking of my fondness for Justin Fuller, it seems he's been replaced by some large man with long black hair who swings left handed wearing his number. What.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 11:32 PM) I had Lakers in 6 going into this series. As J4L said, if this is what the Celtics really are gonna do, it will probably be over alot faster than many think. Lakers still have those younger legs. Hell, Bynum and his half shredded knee has more hops than Garnett right now. EDIT: Kobe's face is hilarious... That may be one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Lets say Ranaudo or Wilson magically falls to the in the second round, would the Sox take a flyer on one, even with signability?.

Did Danks lose a bet saying he has to have a new beard style every game?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 11:38 PM) Pauly will get some consideration because of his 16 home runs...but Teixeira/Morneau/MCab will probably make his chances slim to none. Paulie needs to hit like 20+ to get in.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 06:34 PM) Galarraga is now one of my favorite players. I love how classy he has been. Milt Pappas can sure learn some lessons from him. Galarraga is definitely the minority here. When a close pitch is called to break up a perfect game, it'd be hard to get over it. Speaking of Pappas: http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=5247591

What the hell just asked Pierce a question from FoxSports LA?

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 01:03 AM) You're joking right? Why would I want to see him throw a perfect game? I guess I am in the minority here but I don't give a s*** about anyone other than the White Sox.. im not watching a baseball game that does not involve the White Sox, nor do I have any desire to. I want every AL central team that is not from Chicago to fail, and fail miserably.. or in this case, hilariously.. I agree with this, though I don't mind the Royals.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 11:50 PM) I don't think you can suspend or fine an umpire for a human error. Stuff like that should be saved for Joe West, who had some sort of agenda and was calling balks that clearly weren't balks (they weren't even close) and throwing people out of the game for no reason. Joyce just made a mistake, a really bad mistake, but a mistake nontheless. I actually feel REALLY bad for Jim Joyce. The technology is there so that he shouldn't have to be the villian. If it were being used like it SHOULD (there should be replay on everything except ball/strike calls, and it's common sense), then he wouldn't have to live the rest of his life knowing he took a perfect game away. I know the umpires job is to get it right, but they are human. The technology is there so that this should never happen, and it's on Bud Selig and MLB that it's not being used. This is their fault more than it is Jim Joyce's, and I hope this is fixed VERY soon. I feel bad for Jim Joyce since he admitted fault. Replays should be allowed. But you know, Bud Selig will come out and say that human error makes the game fun.

Just overturn the damn play MLB and state that you did it because you are implementing a new replay rule for things like that. Calling it a bobbled ball is idiocy and classless.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 2, 2010 -> 09:59 PM) I guess I just take the example of him being a whiney b**** several times and then him half assing it in this year's playoffs anytime the score didn't treat him well. I just don't like that attitude at all - and that comes across on the court larger then life. I can't disagree the guy's got a massive marketing machine though. He'd put asses in the seats for sure. I forget where, but I read he'd be a massive boon to the Chicago economy. Like, a couple billion boon. Also, it'd generate revenue for Reinsdorf, which in a fantastic world means we bid for bigger FA's in Soxdom and pay for drafting.
