February 18, 200422 yr It seems like there has been a lot of negativity on this board. People are disgusted that Maddux could head anywhere other than the sox. Others are complaining that the yankees are ruining baseball. We seem to forget that Pitchers and catchers report in two days. This team finished in second place last season at 86 and 76. The odds makers have us at 10-1 to win the pennant. This is a good team that is returning pitchers like mark, and loaiza, and garland will deffinetly improve. With a lineup that includes Maggs, Lee, Thomas, and konerko, we can win this division very easily. If everyone preforms on this team like we know they can we should easily win the pennant, and frankly the yankees don't really scare me in the playoffs. So lets all start thinking of how good our team really is, insted of complaining about other things that are out of our control Go Sox

February 18, 200422 yr Thanks for your sandy grainy picture. Now what was it you had to say again? Oh, yeah! I agree with you. There is no reason we can't win this thing.

February 18, 200422 yr I still believe the Sox are going to surprise a lot of people, mainly Sox fans.

So lets all start thinking of how good our team really is, insted of complaining about other things that are out of our control Go Sox Saturday's newspapers had the Sox at 10-1 to win the Division. I guess that's considered "the pennant" these days, but to me the "pennant race" isn't over until you've won the LCS. Also, at least the report I read had the Twins also at 10-1 to take the division, and then said something like 'if the Roayals win it pays out half of .' Meaning KC is really the Division favorite at 5-1, or did I miss something? I'm not being negative actually, but I don't think any of us are very happy with the way the off-season went. The season just needs to get started and we'll see if OzzFest is this year's big ticket.

February 18, 200422 yr I will NOT clam down!!! I don't even eat much seafood!! There are a great number of unknowns right now with the 2004 version of this team, so we are all a bit skeptical right now.

Finally someone is optimistic about things this season.
February 18, 200422 yr I'm so clamed, it's not even funny.... I can't wait until Thursday. But damn is Spring Training looooong. They really need to shorten that bad boy up. Too many exhibition games
February 18, 200422 yr Yes.. anyone with the hint of negativity needs to just sit down and STHU. This is no place for those posts questioning the desire to win from this management nor is there any need to question the unproven player(s) that have been assembled... :headshake Bla... Whatever. I'm all for being optimistic, but I'm also going to voice my frustration when I feel like it. It's a message board... don't like the negativity, those threads are easy enough to spot, and just pass them over.

February 18, 200422 yr Save your anger for those who deserve it. Like the Slackhawks. I don't follow that crap.
February 18, 200422 yr My post was strictly to take the opportunity to use "clam up" in this particular thread. Don't take it seriously.
February 18, 200422 yr I think we've just found the official Soxtalk 2004 Chicago White Sox Slogan: Clam Up!
February 18, 200422 yr I for one could care less about being able to win the "Division". The only thing we should be interested in winning is a "World Series".
February 18, 200422 yr I for one could care less about being able to win the "Division". The only thing we should be interested in winning is a "World Series". You have to crawl before you can walk and you have to walk before you can run.
February 18, 200422 yr I for one could care less about being able to win the "Division". The only thing we should be interested in winning is a "World Series". I'd really like to see them at least win one playoff series. We can buid a fan base on that.
February 18, 200422 yr You have to crawl before you can walk and you have to walk before you can run. And when we're barely crawling.. it's frustrating.
