August 4, 200916 yr Omg, this thread is the best thread I have ever read on Soxtalk. Gordon Beckam is amazing! But he's no where near as good as Gordon Beckham. BECKHAM FOR LIFE!

August 4, 200916 yr QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 12:35 PM) He's already way better than Crede offensively. False Statement. He's good, but when Crede was at his best he hit .285 with about 30 hrs and 95 RBIs, not to mention I think he was pretty good at 3b too. Not saying Beckham can't/won't do it, because I know he will, but let's not forget our roots here, Crede is the measuring stick.
August 4, 200916 yr By the way, if you guys haven't realized, whoever started this forum is just trying to make a mockery of this site. It's clearly somebody who made up the screen name and is trying to rip on the "Beckham mania" by messing with you guys... Stop biting on it.
August 4, 200916 yr QUOTE (Beckam4thehall @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 07:13 AM) Ok, This kid is amazing. 17 doubles at the end of this recent Yankee four home game series. I love him in the second hole and I think he'll be getting into the Hall of Fame. And I know people are saying its his first year he won't be good in the future. Well, If he can have this order that we're in with Nix and Getz at the bottom of the order than Pods. We can win a lot of games. And hell I say who gives a f*ck about Ramirez. I mean Getz can hit a double. Nix can move him over or in. Scotty can Move him over with a bunt or so. And Beckham can bring him over as well. And those three old guys in the middle of are line up can get a couple runs there. We can be a good team if we can do it. Gordon Beckham you rascal you why didn't you tell us you were posting on Soxtalk!?

August 4, 200916 yr Why is this thread title a question? It should be a statement or possibly an exclamation.
August 4, 200916 yr Come on guys, when was the last time we had this kind of excitement for a prospect this early in his career? I don't think Mike Caruso or Aaron Rowand excited people this much. The last one who had this kind of effect was probably Frank Thomas. In that respect, it's not totally crazy to think that Gordon can be in the hall someday. But if you don't think about it that way, it's absolutely insane.

August 4, 200916 yr QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 02:22 PM) Why is this thread title a question? It should be a statement or possibly an exclamation. Cause he has been in the majors for like 2 months

Lets not get goofy about the offensive prowess of Joe. Statues, HOF, pssh. Wait till the park is named after him. Welcome to Bacon Field, home of Your Chicago Whitesox.

And he'll turn around the Phoenix Coyotes somehow.

August 4, 200916 yr Beckham addressed Slayer and Bacon today on the Scott Van Pelt show. I think both are bad. http://sports.espn.go.com/stations/player?id=4376688
August 4, 200916 yr QUOTE (The Critic @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 05:04 PM) Bacon is an awful nickname. Not as dumb as Slayer QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 07:18 PM) This. Can't wait for it to go away. Can't wait for both to go away

August 4, 200916 yr QUOTE (Nokona @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 03:56 PM) I think Chicago will be renamed Beckham, IL. At a minimum, the area around USCF will be known as Beckhamville.
