QUOTE (b-Rye @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 09:20 PM) He could DH/lead off and play some OF.. he's done a good job this year at the plate.. the pickoffs/defense have been bad though. it's nice having a leadoff man who could steal a base and get on base.. too bad the guys in front of him cant hit. If Scott Podsednik is the Sox DH next year than Kenny failed miserably. That would be absolutely pathetic.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 06:24 PM) I'd be willing to bet that Dye and Thome leave tonight. Why shouldn't a team take a chance on Linebrink too? Some teams "Coop" might be able to fix him... Let the rebuilding begin... Linebrink is signed through 2011 and will make more than $5 million each of the next 2 years. Not a lot of teams are going to want to pay him that.

QUOTE (Nixon @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 04:12 PM) According to the conference calls the parks east of the Mississippi will continue to operate as is. Meaning Marvel characters will probably get some play in Disney in Ca. Whatever money Marvel was earning out of these agreements go to Disney but Disney can't break these deals. Fox & Sony still own the rights to the movies they're currently producing, from an article I read there will be one more movie after The Avengers. Pixar is already working on a movie based on John Carter of Mars and apparently there's something else that's in the pipeline. I am f***ing stoked. The Wolverine/Xmen licenses can't be free of Fox soon enough for me. Sony has Spiderman and Fox has Fantastic Four and X-Men. Marvel had a distribution agreement with Paramount to distribute Avengers, Iron Man, etc. but they were producing those on their own. Paramount still will be distributing the next 5 non FF, Spidey, X-Men films and then that agreement runs out. Fox is freaking terrible, I would love for those characters to go to Disney.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 09:21 AM) Wow. Huge Disney fan that I am, I absolutely hate it when they do this stuff. You know the impact on Universal Islands of Adventure has to be among the key considerations from the standpoint of Disney parks. Out of the four rides at Marvel Island, Fearfall, Storm Force and The Hulk Coaster can all be re-themed without too much difficulty. But there's no way to re-theme Spider-Man virtual ride (great damn ride — easily my favorite non-coaster attraction ride). Universal probably has a pretty long licensing agreement and will be able to keep the Marvel themes in their parks as long as that licensing agreement is in existence.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 01:03 PM) I should say innings pitched. If you're going to limit him to this extent it is dumb to even start him.

QUOTE (b-Rye @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 02:27 PM) Hudson started the season in A ball, I don't consider that top pitching prospect. Peavy is hurt btw and blocked a trade to the Sox before. Why does it matter where you started the season? Hudson had more success than Poreda ever had and simply has better stuff. I would be surprised if Poreda is ever anything other than a solid reliever or mediocre 5th starter and Richard likely won't ever be anything other than a 4th starter and its not like he has pitched well with San Diego.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 01:55 PM) Out of our entire pitching staff I think we only have 5 guys worth keeping for next year, not counting Glass Joe in the minors. Floyd Danks Buehrle Carrasco Thornton Jenks?

QUOTE (b-Rye @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 01:25 PM) I quit watching for 10 min.. who made the errors?? I'm still thinking its gonna be 20-1 game. Contreras and Nix

Well at least the Sox are becoming funny-bad.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) Jose is already getting pounded He wasn't exactly helped by Nix, the 2b ump, and Pods today in the field.

Terrible call by the 2B ump there.

QUOTE (whitesoxmanager @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 08:50 PM) #1. Frank Thomas #2. Harold Baines #3. Carlton Fisk #4. Chet Lemon #5. Tim Raines #6. Lance Johnson #7. Ozzie Guillen #8. Paul Konerko #9. Robin Ventura #10. Tom Paciorek Is this list serious and in order?

The Yankees sure aren't having a hard time hitting the ball hard against Buehrle so far. It would be huge and pretty lucky if he comes out of this inning only giving up the one run.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 07:22 PM) thats the fustrating part. awesome offensivley this year, but the pick offs and defense is atrocious. i wanted pods back for next but forget it. He has been respectable offensively, and certainly better than I expected but he has been far from awesome. He is a below average for a leadoff man, and a below league average hitter overall. He is certainly better than Wise and Anderson though. Unfortunately he is quite possibly the worst base runner in baseball.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 08:52 PM) I've seen enough of Garcia. Can we PLEASE just stop avoiding the promotion of Hudson and have him pitch a few games? His stuff is terrible as expected. No reason to throw him out there again. Hudson could not be any worse than Contreras and Garcia and at least has the possibility of being good.

Watching Freddy Garcia pitch is painful.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 02:32 PM) I don't understand this statement. We have been inconsistent all year long. What would change in the post season when we face the opposing team's best pitchers? A team with Peavy, Buehrle, Floyd and Danks as their four starters in the post season is always going to be a threat to make a deep run.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 01:28 AM) I hate this thread. Let's not pick on Beckham or Quentin who went 0-fers. Let's pick on teh guy who managed to get on third and had a brain fart. Sure, he was on base twice tonight, with two hits, which is two more than Beckham or Quentin, or 1 more than Rios, Thome, AJ, or Alexei, but let's get pissed at Scott Podsednik. His OBP is only the THIRD HIGHEST ON OUR ENTIRE TEAM of those who played tonight. But screw him. You're right, he's worthless... He has been picked off 7 times already, and that doesn't count the times he has been picked off but got lucky and was safe at 2nd. It isn't a brain fart, he is absolutely horrendous on the base paths. And a .350 OBP is the absolute minimum you should accept from your leadoff man, especially when they don't hit for power, are horrendous on the base paths, and are bad defensively. He has helped us this year because he replaced Wise and Anderson who are truly terrible baseball players. But lets not pretend Pods is actually a good player.

Terrible defensively, worst base runner in baseball and a mediocre hitter at best. This guy is our "MVP", GTFO. He has been picked off 7 times this year and gets picked off at 3rd base with less than 2 out tonight. Pathetic.

Podsednik is the worst base runner in baseball. f***ing moron.

Chat tonight?

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 05:11 PM) Podsednik cf Beckham 3b Dye rf Thome dh Konerko 1b Pierzynski c Quentin lf Ramirez ss Getz 2b Quentin really needs to be moved up in the order.

QUOTE (CQMVP @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 12:32 AM) Why do we need to do that? Move Pods to LF, Quentin to RF, and Rios to CF. Let Dye sit. He's been absolutely terrible since the All-Star Break, and looks like he needs a rest. Dye could use a couple of days off but he is still a vastly superior player to Pods. Pods has done an average job getting on base, but he brings nothing else to the table. He is a terrible defensive player and he has been horrendous on the base paths. 17 SB to 9 CS, plus he has been picked off 6 times. That is embarrassing.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 11:17 PM) And where would that be? In CF for our "MVP".

Besides a couple cool scenes, GI Joe was a terrible movie. Poorly acted, and the script was really bad. And really the CGI wasn't that good either.
