Last year at this time the words on this site were all about our great rotation and our HOF'er Gordon Beckham.

Win game 163 against the Tigers to take division. Danks takes next step to stardom. Pierre leads league in steals again, still gets no credit. Quentin big year.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 13, 2011 -> 07:20 PM) Just a little bit of hyperbole there. The most extreme it would be would be one foul tip away from having one testicle. OUCH!!

If Morneau doesn't come back 100% look for them to move him and put Mauer at first in a year or two. A catcher is a foul tip away from a career ender at any moment.

Funny how so much seems so reliant on a guy who can only contribute every fifth game, and then only after the first month. Peavy should be frosting on top not the main ingrediant. Maybe Sale does have to come out of the bullpen into the starting rotation after all. I would take a shot at millwood, but then again its not my money. Don't want Bonderman....Jeff Suppan?....Ben Sheets?......... I know scrap heap material.

Is Millwood still available?

I think with Sale's motion he is bullpen guy all the way. The problem I see with the four man rotation is can we count on Peavey to be reliable by 5/1? We can't go four man too long but I still think a four man through April will be ok. Hell Cleveland could be snowed out for the first series. The main problem here is Peavey. What if he only gets a few starts in May or June and then down again? The Sox need a fifth starter just in case. I guess Harrell is the guy as of now.

I remember when 4 man rotations were the norm. I still don't understand why today's super athlete can't handle it.

Can't take a pitcher. Dunn has never swung a bat for the Sox and his defense is under par. I went with Paulie after last year with Alexi a close second.

When he managed the Sox he was young and very energetic. A real fresh start. Those were some pretty good teams he managed too. If it wasn't for the A's Dynasty of the early seventies the Sox may have won a championship then. Finished second to the A's, I think it was'72, who went on to win three straight world series. Probably played the A's tougher than the playoff and world series opponents did. He was one of those people who just seem to stand out.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 11, 2011 -> 01:40 AM) The Twins staff is a lot of mediocrity after Liriano. Please let this happen. I agree with this 100%. Which is why I think they will find a way to keep him.

Just kill every living thing.........................................especially this thread.

I don't have a problem with legal animal hunting. I also don't have a problem with dog lovers. The problem I noticed was the title of the article was " passionate about animal rights". This coming from an avid hunter seems wacky. Is he thinking about animal rights when he has a deer in his gun sights. Really don't care very much about any of this. Lets play ball!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 9, 2011 -> 11:52 AM) He Gawn! I think the Twins fan did the same the Twins do during the playoffs......disapeared! I love you guys

I can't believe the Rangers want some one to pay his salary and give them a starting pitcher and a position player. I gotta believe if they could just unload his salary they would take "a player to be named later." As for the White Sox I would take Michael Young an all star over Brent Morel an unproven rook in a heart beat. If the Sox could dump Teahen and his salry maybe they could afford Young and let Morel play another year at AAA.

Animal lover and avid hunter, hmmm.

Hopefully not " and he was looking so good about a week (weak ) back"

QUOTE (WhiteSUX @ Feb 8, 2011 -> 09:02 PM) I forgot he had all of those SB's last year. but I thought someone with a better average ,HR's and RBI would have a higher ranking. Now he is sucking up

No one knows if his velocity will be the same. No one knows just how long it will take him to return to major league form. I just hope he doesn't try to rush it and has a set back.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 8, 2011 -> 10:51 AM) I don't know that I thought he was a hero...the question is, should we regard him as a villain? I guess I'm being a little harsh. There were many factors involved. I just don't care if they melt down the statue and implode the stadium. Vandalism does make Sox fans look bad, like the stereotype, but I'm not convinced it was a Sox fan. You think you will see a Harry statue outside The Cell any time soon?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 8, 2011 -> 08:19 AM) The phrase "Harry Defected" implies that Harry Carey made the decision to leave for the north side despite the Sox wanting him back. Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that, much like John Rooney, the Sox actually let him walk. After the free wheeling days of Veeck The new owners wanted a tamer Carey. While negotiations were going on the Cubs ( not known for the freedom they give their broadcasters ) made him an offer he jumped on. He knew the feelings in the city about the rivalry but also knew due to super station status of WGN he could get more exposure , and go back to his National League roots ( St. Louis ). He went from face of the White Sox to number one Cubbie. He is no hero to me.

There was never a more entertaining broadcast team than Harry and Jimmy piersall. However Harry defected and worse he commited treason when he went to the northside. He turned into a buffoon as the years went by and the assosciation is overwhelmingly Cubs. As for the statue? The Cubs deface the whole city just by their existence so paint away boys. They deserve no respect especially the traitor Carey.

A cub fan did it to make us sox fans look like trash. We all know how jealous they are of us. A real ballpark and a world series trophy who could blame them? Besides any defacing of anything Cub can't be all bad.

They could finish anywhere from 2nd to last depending on the other teams. Toronto? Tampa- falling off? New York-geriactic ward They must improve the pitching to be taken seriously as a play off contender. Now that they got Vlad maybe the Sox could get luke Scott!

Publicly insulting any umpire is never a good idea. They stick together.
