bmags Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Being a regular sports columnist is a hard job to get. And, frankly, it is a hard job to do. It's a wonder then, that Phil Rogers gets this soap box for articles like this: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...,5227440.column What a lede! 11 players have worn 56 for the Cubs...could Buerhle be #12? I don't know! What is the significance of #56 on the cubs? What is the significance of the #12? WHY IS THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF BUEHRLE TO CUBS INTERESTING ENOUGH TO WRITE ABOUT. This ruined my whole day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasttriptotulsa Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Not gonna pay to read a Phil Rogers article, but even without reading it I can tell you Phil Rogers is a moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I honestly wonder what the editor thinks when Phil submits these columns. "Really???" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Wow. Buehrle to the Cubs. Without any reason for it to actually happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, I read it for you, and it was awful. It's also loosely related to white sox, my palehose forum, brethren! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ultimate Champion Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'm still wondering why we traded proven workhorse Brandon McCarthy to Texas. Has anyone been able to come up with a reason by now? Maybe he would have blocked man-child Juan Silverio after we convert him to a pitcher because he sucks balls as a position player.

Harry Chappas Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Isn't Phil Rogers the Baseball Perspective guru for minor league evaluations for the Chicago teams and the current reason why the Sox minor league system is lambasted as much as it is? I thought I heardthis a couple of years ago. The man loves his cubs and is a f***ing moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 14, 2013 -> 12:24 PM) Baseball America Let's be honest though, the Sox have a lot of push in those rankings. Rogers is far from a baseball expert, let alone a minor league one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDo Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 God, I hope Phil Rogers starts posting here so we can have some threads about random trade (im)possibilities with no basis in reality. In fact.....is it possible that Phil Rogers already has a Soxtalk handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 While we're at it, we might as well trade DeAza to the Yankees. We might actually get something back for him. But that goes in the trading Alexei Ramirez bag of tricks...punting on the 2013 season before it has even started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Rogers once claimed that KW was offended when Rogers criticized him after the trading of Kip Wells and Josh Fogg to the Pirates for that right hander who couldn't get anyone out. So Kenny wouldn't talk to him for a while. When was that trade? 2002? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Ritchie wasn't actually THAT horrible with us, but he started to battle some nagging injuries. And it was Wells, Fogg and Sean Lowe. 2 1/2 starters, and a big contract, for 1/2 a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
