QUOTE(quickman @ May 14, 2006 -> 07:40 PM) he and garland both suck. buerhle will give up another 4 before he leaves the game for our s***ty bullpen Amen reverend.

Hey pitchers, why don't you f***ing throw batting practice! We have an 11.45 ERA in this series and its pathetic, I thought I've been watching the Cubs lately. I can't believe this, all I want to say is WAKE THE f*** UP WHITE SOX, WAKE THE f*** UP WHITE SOX, WAKE THE f*** UP WHITE SOX!!!

Umpiring at getting a good 50 bucks per game, 2 games a day, 4-5 days a week.

QUOTE(wcw2323 @ May 8, 2006 -> 01:45 PM) I heard a rumor that Charlie Haeger has been summoned from Charlotte and will pitch in Chicago Wednesday night against the Angels. Can anybody confirm this? And so my fellow soxtalkians, this is why we let people speak here on the board, and wait before we can prove them untrue and believe EVERYTHING THAT IS INACCURATE is farfetched. Have a nice evening, everyone.

QUOTE(WCSox @ May 6, 2006 -> 10:44 AM) ^^^ I only recall Bobby having one other bad outing (in Detroit) so far this year. Until he has more, he's still a reliable closer IMO. Of course, he's still reliable, its only 2 BS on the year, right?

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ May 5, 2006 -> 09:29 PM) I am as big of Ozzie fan as everyone else... but this loss is on him. I am tired of seeing our Closer have to enter into the 9th with runners on base. Let him start the inning. I was at the game and it seemed to be a few factors: Firstly, Ozzie left that piece of s*** Thornton in to walk the batter, secondly, Jenks wasn't getting any calls, if you saw how that Umpire was calling it, you'd agree, I believe there was one right down the middle for a potential strike three, and it was called a ball, in which, the whole stadium went quiet. And I was quite pissed to know that Mackowiak and others went 0 for...man, that blew. I hope they do better when I go back on Sunday.

It takes about 33.00 to fill up my Honda Element, its got this reserves system too that provides me with extra gasoline. So it works for me...

Who did we refer to as Kotex boy last year? Mariotti? Also, I think its ridiculous that Williams is acting like a jerk, I mean, first Thomas (understandable) and now Buehrle...I just don't see the meaning of it. Its good to know Buehrle would stay here, I mean, he seems happy here, although, anyone really would be happy here.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 11:20 AM) I don't know what the answer is here. I'd probably have to say just keep Gload, have KW scan the waiver wire like he does so well, and dump Ozuna in Charlotte if he finds someone. Like I said, keep Gload, put Pods on the deal and call up Redding. And that Borchard trade was a wonderful deal.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 09:27 AM) The thing is, Tex, if all things were equal (read: salaries), yes, I'd rather have Lee. But half of the selling point in the Lee deal was that we lose $8 million dollars off of the payroll. That allowed us to sign, IIRC, Iguchi, Pierzynski, and El Duque. Do we win the AL Central with Willie Harris, Ben Davis, and Jason Grilli/B-Mac in place of the former three? I dislike "Scotty" as much as anybody here, but I can see why the trade was made. So you dislike Scotty Podsednik, even though he's the best leadoff and only leadoff hitter we've had since Ray Durham? Yeah, okay, I see your logic, and that trade needed to happen if you wanted to win at all. I couldn't stand Caballo, who was a fat slow turd who could be replaced by Konerko and Everett easily. I don't understand your logic is all, no need for fights on why you dislike him...

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 09:53 AM) I swear some people just hear names of players, and forget that there has to be performance merit for a promotion. Just throw out names of top prospects, they are all ready arent they? People mention them, and its pathetic because if they don't do anything, why would they be good up here? Personally, I see the White Sox putting Pods on the DL soon, and very soon, in which case, I see them calling up another pitcher, like a Redding for the bullpen, considering its very thin right now, IMO. Cotts, Jenks, McCarthy, Logan, Politte, Thornton...and supplement a Redding in and see how that'd help. Whats with people saying get rid of Gload? He's out of options and he's still a solid ball player. And his first name is Ross, so you know he's got to be good.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 01:58 AM) I would bring Sweeney or Owens up and give them a shot, especially if Pods is going to be out for awhile. No way. I'm hearing that Sweeney is struggling at AAA and that he's trying to find his swing that he had at AA Birmingham, so he doesn't deserve to be up here just to suck. And Owens, no friggin way, thank you...

I believe there are several factors of why we aren't doing well. Ozzie puts people in the wrong spots...why do you put Ozuna in the OF in those conditions? Our bullpen will be able to get guys out, just watch. Right now, they look like zombies. And I like Logan, I just don't think that he and the others are on fire right now. I am under the opinion that the team has little to no chemistry, you can't re-tool a team and expect them to perform already; see the Yankees! I am frustrated no doubt, but lets all remember, it is only April!

Kenny will be on this soon if they start losing, I'm sure you don't want to get too far behind. Especially behind the Indians, who I believe will be neck and neck with us this year.

I left the park because they said 10:30 would be the game time and I was already feeling tired, I've got to go back to school tomorrow, and I have to be productive. =( Regardless, it sucked how we carelessly gave up 3 runs, that friggin sucked. Garr..

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 21, 2006 -> 08:30 AM) I agree, but Comcast has made it much easier on us by showing 18 spring training games. Back before they aired most of the ST games, March was like pulling teeth for me. Now, not so bad. Its a shame we have to see a handful of s***ty prospects and split squads...I want my full blown White Sox, lol!

I think this whole thing about Ozzie not being able to attend is being made into a huge deal by the media. I think that in its ownself is very pointless and stupid. The man had a committment, so let everyone deal with it.

Borchard will win it, but if he f***s it up, then I believe we'll see Owens by June, if not earlier.

Jim Thome: Look, Sosa got hit in the head! hahaha! Gene Honda (drunk): I totally ripped one man! ahahahah!

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Jan 28, 2006 -> 08:51 PM) Chad Bentz Javier Lopez Arnie Munoz Stephen Randolph Paulino Reynoso One thing is similar about all of the lefty candidates -- control problems. I'm thinking either Bentz or Lopez will win the job. Bentz because of his stuff or Lopez because of his submarine delivery. What does your sig mean?

Did anyone ask about the following at Q&A or, would anyone bright enough please enlighten me about what was said in that interview? How is Crede's back? Who will compete in ST for the last spot in the pen? How is Thome's back? Or just any questions about our White Sox that were important, like our veteran players, because I could care less about prospects. They don't mean a s*** to me. I hope this Anderson kid does better than when I last saw him.

How do you get the VIP passes for private autographs? Oh, and does anyone have any tickets? Prolly not.

Downey, the columnist is a good writer but doesn't cover the Sox. Greinstein is good, so is Rogers. I read the Cubune.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 18, 2006 -> 06:04 PM) Still control him for 2 more years Oh, it all makes more sense now. I was going to say, why would we be happy about a 1 year deal, avoiding arbitration? So we get exclusive rights for 2 more years, like we had with AJ's one year last year BEFORE HIS arbitration. I'm more familiar with NFL deals, so this makes more sense to me now.

I think this indicates the White Sox do not want to negotiate with Boras and that we're saying bye bye to Crede after this year. Just my assumption. You're probably saying "no s***" when your reading this post.
