May 31, 200421 yr But doesn't know OUR Gm's name carmen schaumburg, illinois: What do you think of the White Sox team, do you think they will be able to trade for a 5th starter and do you think they can compete for the pennant? Peter Gammons: My answer is yes, and yes. They are one of the biggest surprises in either league b/c their front four starters have been so good. Take out the fifth starter -- a position where they haven't won a game since 2002 -- and their pitchers would have the best ERA and quality start percentage in the league. Tim Williams is one of the most aggressive GMs out there. His first concerning is pitching -- and he will get some. Not only will he be a contender for Freddy Garcia, but I'll be he'll make a play on Carlos Beltran as well. With Jeremy Reed and Joe Borchard coming on in AAA, he may have a left handed bat to put in centerfield. Don't bet against them going somewhere in October. I wasn't aware Tim Williams is our GM But nice to see his comments about Freddy G. and even Beltran.
May 31, 200421 yr I could swear we won at least 1 game with our 5th starter last year. That sounds wrong.
May 31, 200421 yr That's funny........ perhaps he made the mistake in honor of the berry-barry fiasco a few years back. lol
May 31, 200421 yr I could swear we won at least 1 game with our 5th starter last year. That sounds wrong. Cotts went 1-1 last year. Yahoo doesn't have a page for him, though. I think he won his start against the Rangers? My memory is not what it used to be.
May 31, 200421 yr Well, since Gammons said this there's a 10-20% chance we get Garcia or Beltran.. even less..
May 31, 200421 yr I had read our 5th starters won 3 games in something like 27 starts last season. Brutal, may as well say we won none.
May 31, 200421 yr Nice article even though the moron doesn't know our gm's name. Garcia and Beltran with the Sox? Ok, i'll stop dreaming now.
May 31, 200421 yr He's not a moron, we all butcher names once in awhile. It's good to see some Bristol boys give the Sox some credit.
May 31, 200421 yr Well he's a bigger Moron then I thought he was... No. Jay Mariotti is a moron. Gammons is a whipping boy sort of speak.
May 31, 200421 yr Last season Cotts had a win as a 5th starter as did someone else. I forget who the other was. I actually think their were 3 wins by 5th starters last season.
May 31, 200421 yr I also believe (off memory here) that Porzio got a win as well.. I could be wrong though.
May 31, 200421 yr But doesn't know OUR Gm's name I wasn't aware Tim Williams is our GM But nice to see his comments about Freddy G. and even Beltran. Sometimes I sit there watching BBTN and wonder just what, if anything, Gammons knows about MLB aside from Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs and Sosa.
May 31, 200421 yr I actually think their were 3 wins by 5th starters last season. Which is what Mnsoxfan verified via internet search & displayed up top.... I also conducted a search. Wright won one, Stewart won one, and Cotts won one. Those are the three victories. You know that people are going to be like "Sox 5th starters haven't won a game since 2002!" because dumbf*** Gammons is too lazy to look into things.
May 31, 200421 yr TIM WILLIAMS? IT RHYMES WITH JIMY WILLIAMS, FORMER RED SOX MANAGER LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Yup.
June 1, 200421 yr I have to do it..... I made a $20 with is face in Photoshop a while back and posted it. i dont think I have it anymore

So we won a ton of games out of that spot.
June 1, 200421 yr In Gammons defense, I'm sure he is talking and someone is typing in the chat. He probably said Ken but it sounded like Tim going through his wooden teeth.
