March 28, 200323 yr Alright, now this would upset a Sox fan. Im the latest issue of Sport's Illustrated, the writers completely underestimate the Chicago White Sox. For one, the Sox are ranked 7th in the American League, and 15 in the MLB. On top of that, the White Sox are behind the Scrubs.!They say the Blue Jay's will be right behind us in the standings, which I think is ubsurd because the 2003 Jays don't compare to the 2003 Sox! Also, they have Jon Garland ranked behind, yes behind, such pitchers as Darren Dreifort and pitchers that have not even proven themselves to be a starter, such as Danny Graves. I don't know about anyone else, but I think this is an insult to the Chicago White Sox organization and all of its fans.
March 28, 200323 yr SI has been pretty s***ty the last few years, TSN and ESPN are getting worse too.
March 28, 200323 yr Who cares about SI's pre-season picks? Did you see their final four predictions? We just need to worry about KC next week and Minnie a month or two later.
March 28, 200323 yr Who cares about SI's pre-season picks? Did you see their final four predictions? We just need to worry about KC next week and Minnie a month or two later. Okay thats unfair. Picking the final four is absolute luck.
March 28, 200323 yr So is picking them in baseball .... Giants, Cards, Twins & Angels last year. Who woulda thought.....?
March 28, 200323 yr Exactly, who would have picked those 4 last year! Thats why we dont listen to idiotic SI writers! Go Sox!
March 28, 200323 yr SI has been pretty s***ty the last few years, TSN and ESPN are getting worse too. One of the reasons why I rarely, if ever, waste money on that "ad rag" SI. It's gonna be really sweet if the White Sox do what we all think they can do this season and shut all these "experts" up.
March 28, 200323 yr do they even deserve to be called experts? No..... alot of the time, they're just disgruntled because they weren't good enough to play the game themselves
March 28, 200323 yr SI has become the national enquirer of sports rags And that's being nice. I cancelled my subscription.. they called and offered me a football phone and a sweatshirt to re-new. No kidding.. I told them to shove the phone up their ass. The customer service rep was "appalled" at my suggestion and said "does your husband know you are cancelling this subscription?". went into a fit of laughter and hung up on him.
March 28, 200323 yr SI has become the national enquirer of sports rags And their hockey coverage is the biggest joke of em all! :fyou SI!
March 28, 200323 yr And yet another reason I cancelled my 14 year subscription with them over 2 years ago.
March 28, 200323 yr Author do they even deserve to be called experts? I bet you a good 3/5 of the writers at SI are completely biast.
March 28, 200323 yr SI has fallen so bad the last 10 years it is terrible, All the people I know switched to the Sporting News since 93. SI BLOWS :fyou
March 28, 200323 yr I have to disagree with everybody hear...SI is still in my opinion the best sports magazine there is. Rick Reilly is the best sports writer in the business. If you buy any national magazine for the purpose of Sox coverage you are an idiot, so don't complain when you feel the sox are getting hosed in SI. The fact is, at SI they have cover everything Nationally and they are going to go on how they feel the chips will fall. If they are high on Mark Prior then they have to pick the cubs. If they tried to please a certain group of fans they would go out of business. I like what the scout said in the scouting report of the cubs, mostly saying they are overrated. As for their final four picks...they have to go out on a limb or else why even bother doing it. This year they decided to pick the teams that were stacked with Seniors, it didn't work out, but hey thats why you should think for yourself. In conclusion, I love SI's articles especially the Jack Morris one in this issue. And don't rip on SI for picking the Twins because every national magazine did
March 28, 200323 yr No..... alot of the time, they're just disgruntled because they weren't good enough to play the game themselves So basically your saying that anybody who doesn't play the game shouldn't have an opinion? Well if that the case shut down this site, because all of us never played the game and we feel that we know enough to disect it...You don't have to play the game, and I doubt there disgruntled, they are probably just like us...baseball fans that know a s***load about the sport
March 28, 200323 yr And by playing the game I mean on a professional level, little league and high school baseball doesn't count, because most fall in to this category
March 29, 200323 yr Once again, the hell with SI predictions. The so called "experts" are probably 80-90% wrong anyways, and no one can predict the damn future so we'll just have to see how the season plays out.
March 29, 200323 yr I dont really care what the sports magazines or the so called expert say. The game is played on the field and the SOX themselves will determine the future not what has been said. I heard an announcer once said that baseball is a very unpredictable game. Sometimes the day is a baseball weather and sometimes you'll get a 4 hour rain delay. The ball is actually a round ball, you never know who will end up on top or at the bottom once the ball stops rolling. I just hope its time for the SOX to be on top!!!
March 29, 200323 yr If you want REAL Sox coverage, I'd suggest you reading Diamond View: The Official Game Program For the Chicago White Sox. That magazine kicks major ass!!!
