JR: We've Already Signed our Free Agent, Jake Peavy
Quin replied to Chisoxfn's topic in Pale Hose Talk
QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Nov 19, 2009 -> 06:00 PM) We need bullpen help. Plus Joe Crede B) I'd love to see Crede at 3rd and have Teahen take Nix's role of super sub, but it won't happen sadly. -
What's the strangest/funniest/wildest non-baseball thing at USCF
Quin replied to knightni's topic in Pale Hose Talk
QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 19, 2009 -> 06:46 PM) Poreda was also in the pen and I said "Aaron! You are my favorite pitcher!" I was not expecting him to turn around and say "Thanks buddy". I then had no idea what to say once he gave me attention, so I just blurted out "We are friends on Facebook!" and he gave me a thumbs up. lol. Almost the same thing happened to me, but I said he was one of my favorite pitchers, since Buehrle takes that title. Saw some fans yell to Pods from left field they love him and him wave and smile. Dodgers fan telling Matt Kemp to play more shallow, Kemp look back and shrug the fan off. Promptly dived missing a ball in shallow centerfield (theshirt 13 inning craze fest). Also heard Michael Jackson died. Talked to an usher who I've seen around the stadium at multiple other games, who then had a Cubs fan removed who was harassing my mom. Had stadium staff speed create custom t-shirts for my dads anniversary and my brothers birthday. Brother and I got free 300 level seats on his birthday and saw Thome's possibly final career HR. Game 1 of 2006 and souvenir WS rings. That's all I got for now. Edit: When I was little, my current high school's marching band (with brother in it) played on the field. The current librarian chaperoned and had them tape pieces of paper in LF to seats so it spelled out GO SOX in big letters. Currently begging band directors to make this happen again. -
If we still had Brandon Allen, he'd be what he was before, trade bait. I always viewed him as such, only thing is I'm annoyed at what we acquired for him.

Buehrle needs to ride that beauty to the mound every game.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 18, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) Alomar has a great nose for the game. Good luck to him. As long as that luck doesn't beat the White Sox. Well, with my luck, whenever I go to a Sox-Indian's game something bad will happen now. Last time I was at a game where Alomar played, he fouled a ball off me, and a fat lady stole it. Robbing an 11 year old of a baseball = Not cool, not cool at all. But then I got Miguel Olivo to sign my hat, so it worked out.
-
I resign Wasserman and Kroger, just because it seems like they could be useful if injuries happen.
-
I think D2 should be 4-star, Mitchell should just be a little lower, and Thompson is too high. But not a bad list overall.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 18, 2009 -> 07:55 PM) I wanted to add that you have done a great job of expanding your knowledge of both the sport and the Sox since you took that job Chris, not everyone has that dedication. I know when you were first hired that your buddies used to joke about it quite a bit, but I think you've more than proven yourself the last few years. And Cowley is still an unprofessional douchenozzle, but I know you probably cant put that out in the open. I gotta agree with this, since Rongey is far and away my favorite Sox media personality. Always keeps me listening to the score post-game.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Nov 18, 2009 -> 12:50 PM) Mark Gonzales = Journalist, Joe Cowley = Sensationalist. We have a winner, Gonzales is definitely a class act. So, theres short legs, but obviously Kenny likes Adrian Gonzalez, so theres still a chance.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 11:29 PM) I take back every bad thing I've said about him. Get the salsa ready.
-
QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 16, 2009 -> 03:18 PM) I'd like to take a flyer on him. Maybe KW does if he actually does trade Hudson. If his price tag was right, I'd go after Sheets if we traded Hudson.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 11:00 PM) EDIT: FYI, Joakim Noah has quickly become one of, if not my favorite Bull. I hated the pick when we made, but he's making me eat monster nuclear crow. He's worked his ass off and become a fantastic player. Leading the league in rebounding right now and averaging a double-double. 13 points, 14 boards so far against the Kings. Love it. Thank god he didn't enter the '06 draft. We'd have drafted him instead of Aldridge, and then we'd have to regret trading Noah for Thomas. Also, can we finally reach the century mark?! Edit: Yup, cam against Sac, but I'll take it.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 11:01 PM) I ask, why would this interest the Angels? Pretty much the same reason why we were interested in Ken Griffey Jr.
-
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 09:56 PM) I have a sudden urge to attempt to do to Cowley what Stephen Colbert has done to O'Reilly and now Beck. Start twittering random things, be just as concerned with Cubs as the Sox, and be a fool?
-
QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 09:32 PM) I wrote Cowley an e-mail talking about how I am a journalism major at Missouri and basically blasting his morals and ethics as a journalists. I told him that he is exactly the opposite of what we are taught journalists should be like. His response: "Go to law school kid. Do yourself a favor. And tell them Uncle Joe sent you. You'll thank me later." You can't argue with all the idiots in the world. Sometimes it's best to let them have their moment and then trick them later. And by trick, I mean, have this rumor be pretty much true (minus the Paulie part )

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 01:22 PM) Oh btw, supposedly a three way may be brewing between the Kings, 76ers and Celtics. Nocioni to Boston Dalembert and Riddens I think to Sacramento Tony Allen, Brian Scalabrine to 76ers. Another player is involved, but I can't remember for the life of me, who it is. I like any trade sending Noce to a contendor, I freaking love the dude.
-
D2, because he's playing if we don't get anyone else, and if he's in CF, Ozzie will lead him off. I want us to make a move...
-
I like Blanco as a backup, and this does kinda of raise suspicions for Flowers being on the trading block (or staying in AAA to net more value) Also, what does Cowley say when this comes up? "In other news "Carlheartscubs'' has learned that Bradley is a problem. Paul Sullivan to write a full follow-up this afternoon. Can't wait." Yup, something about a completely other team.
-
QUOTE (SoxAce @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 04:13 PM) Just got the response myself.. It is f***ing ridiculous. Now I'm praying this deal goes through making that moron look like even more of a douche. Ugh, its a disgrace to journalism.
-
Turned it on...will wait.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 03:18 PM) Dude, you need to post his response. You can't tease us like that without posting the response. I'm agreeing with Steve, don't tease us. I really liked Cowley pre-Twitter/Score. But he went downhill in 2007 when wrote that the Sox would trade Pods for Soriano, Buehrle would walk to the Cards, and AJ hits a walkoff home run in game 7 of the World Series off Buehrle. He must have had some crazy inside information to spout that bullcrap. God Cowley, seriously, way to act un-classy (just going off his initial comments and supposed backlash)

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 12:02 AM) If KW is not damn near close to 100% sure he can lock Gonzalez up well past 2011, then I want no part of this. I'm sorry. Our farm is right back where it was in 2006 (dreadful and downright shameful) if we're able to trade for Gonzalez. I learned a long time ago never to get attached to any White Sox prospect as long as KW is GM. Because it's pretty much a lock they'll be traded. But if you're going to keep trading prospect after prospect after prospect (and I mean legitimate prospects), you better be sure the guy you're getting is going to be around for a number of years. Exactly, if locking up AGon was out of the question, then I still go after him, but definitely don't gut the farm.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Nov 16, 2009 -> 09:09 PM) Paul Konerko is not finished nor is he a mediocre fielder IMO. I think Kalapse is just being too criitical agin of one our guys. Heck by the time some get done evaluating our players you wonder how we managed not to finish 7th in a 6 team division. Because we're not in a 6th team division? Everyone complains about their players when they do poorly. Seriously, its the whole "grass is always greener" thing, because yes, AGon would be amazing to obtain, but the second he hits a slump we'd have people calling it a horrible deal.
-
Wait, if they want a SP, C, 2B, and CF, then we have that package in our own system. I hate giving up D2, but I'd much rather keep Paulie.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Nov 16, 2009 -> 04:39 PM) He's indicated that he doesn't want to come off the bench. Is there a team that he could start for? The Springfield Armor
