Ultimate Warrior

does anybody remember the epic poster who took over the thread about girlfriends/wives of white sox players? cant remember his name.

Cleveland Indians at Chicago White Sox Welcome to another game at beautiful US Cellular field. "Mercy" Brought to you at Comcast Sports Net In the top left corner, starting for the Cleveland Indians at 6-3, 215 pounds, Jake Westbrook. On the bottom right corner, Mr. Perfect, standing at 6-2 300 pounds, Mark Buehrle Today's Pitching Matchup Mark Buehrle: Mark reminds me more and more of Catfish Hunter each and every day. Catfish could beat anybody out there. Jake Westbrook: A well located fastball is the best pitch in the game. Westbrook can do this. Watc- "Oh my goodness! Is that who I think it is?!" "Ultimate warrior has come running in!!" "In my final meeting with the gods from the heavens above, as they spoke to me and hit me with the power of the Ultimate Warrior, they told me 'Exit stage left! Exit stage right! There is no place to run; all the fuses in the exit signs have been burned out! Hennig, I want you. Feel the power of the Warriah!" This should be an interesting matchup today folks!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

The gods in the Heavens above granted me with the power of the Ultimate Warrior. How dare you doubt the strength, will, and power of the Warrior...

im not the only stoned one who enjoys pizza hut in this thread

jealousy is an ugly thing

Son of a b****....

lets do it team! if we can put our mind to it, anything is possible! post 1!!!

I thought it was a throwing concern, then I learned that he had a GROWING concern.

might as well convert him while he's young

10 games back? sorry, but that is ridiculous. the loss of the dome wont hurt them much. they completely changed their lineup since then. they are full of power hitter who will thrive in their new park. their offense is much, much better than ours now. sadly, i see the twins beating us by 3 games.

i expect to be next in line

predicting that anybody would throw a no hitter is pretty bold

I don't put any value into BA. It doesn't give bigger hits like doubles, triples, or homeruns any extra value, and it doesn't count walks. Adding walks into the equation alone give it much more value, hence OBP. A walk is just as good as a single. I'm sure you have seen something like this before. http://projectprospect.com/article/2009/07...stats-with-runs I just don't even bother with avg anymore. OPS is way better at evaluating how talented the hitter is.

I know, i would really like that, but i just think it would be better to acquire one cheaply when we had the chance. We would probably have to give up some legitimate prospects to get that in the middle of the season.

At how little we would have had to pay them, it would be worth it. Sure they would be question marks, but would you rather have the current rotating DH thing, or that? The rotating DH is more than just a question mark, chances are it won't even be good.

I too question whether we were ever going to actually bring him in. I never really believed the hype. Nix can play every infield position, just like Vizquel. Teahen could play 1st base and somebody like De Aza could play outfield positions. We had no need for Kotsay and Vizquel. Neither of them are good players. BA means nothing. Thome was our most productive hitter last year. Cust would rake in the cell, sadly he has been playing in the coliseum. How can you honestly say either of those players would make us no better? Either of those three would easily put up a top 3 OPS on the team this year. Instead, we are stick with a rotating DH with washed up players who will be lucky to put up a .750 OPS.

You don't think we could have afforded Jack Cust's $2.65 million dollar contract? Russell Branyan was pretty cheap too. Look at Thome. Ozzie said he would love to have him, but would barely be able to find him any at bats, due to his brain dead rotating DH idea. There were plenty of cheaper, MUCH better alternatives to what we have now. KW gave Ozzie exactly what he wanted, and that was talent lacking "grinders" like Omar Vizquel and Mark Kotsay. We could have used the money we spent on them to sign Cust or Branyan, or possibly even matched the Tigers offer to Damon with the extra couple million we would save.

And you probably could find a ton of managers who could win more games with the sox talent that they could have had. Ozzie shaped this team with his BS rotating DH idea. As much as i want the sox to win, i don't see us winning a title with this lineup. We could have had a much better team had we signed somebody like Jack Cust or Nick Johnson, easily. Instead we get a bunch of grindy bench players who Ozzie "loves" that are going to be playing as the DH.

stuff the site full of advertisements

ladies and gentlemen, your future sunday lineup.

What suggests to you that he will put up a .350 OBP? His 2004 season? Or his 113 AB's with the white sox last year? Kotsay blows. He can't slug well, he can't put up a decent OBP. He's a lousy player, that's what he is. I don't see why you think he will be a good DH. He brings nothing good to the table.

You need to learn how to detect sarcasm....

This makes me unhappy. I'm coming after you Oney.
