Chisoxfn

If I recall his philosphy didn't go well with many of the players. Frank and I think Robin liked it, but a lot of the players didn't like how he pretty much had one way of teaching and if you didn't buy into it, then tough luck. I'm sure someone else has more info on this though, cause I was just 12 at the time, so I'm going off what I read much after the fact.

Haa, my name is Chisoxfn OWNS; I'm going to be the own doing the owning

Welcome Aboard. I heard that quote too and man is it great.

Ummm, the last thing I ever want to see used is Nukes because of the repercussions that will be seen throughout the world. I'm in favor of the war in Iraq, well I'm not in favor of war, but we need to dethrone Saddam and right now I think military force is the only way we could do it. If we ever used nukes, I'd be very very afraid because were opening up a huge wormhole and can definately expect some of the other countries with Nukes to send them back our way and start a nuclear war. God I hope a nuclear weapon is never used again.

Those same loopholes can apply to cars as well though. Basically all the mileage you drive once your at work can be written off, but I'm not sure about the other parts. I'm not a CPA yet, but I should know all the loopholes soon enough

Auto Shows Rock, I never miss those things. I'm all signed up and I'm going to OWN everyone

Judging from the looks of it, you aught to make yourself an "I Hate Royce T-Shirt" and sell it outside of comiskey park. I bet you'd make a ton of money. Then have aquote shirt and use Royce's famous sayings such as I'm going to help lead the Brewers to the series or whatever it was he said.

I don't even know what commercial your talking about.

Preseason ratings are just that. The Sox have a lot to prove and hopefully they do just that.

All I know about Kris is he's a damn talented pitcher and I'm excited to see how he continues to develop. As I wish on all of the White Sox pitchers.

I hope Jon isn't throwing 96 in the later innings of the game cause when he throws hard his pitch is completely straight. The big reason he improved so much this season was he wasn't overthrowing and was trusting his pitches. Sorry Baggs, I don't agree with your assessment of velocity although I do agree that Wright has just as good of a shot as Garland at winning the Cy Young.

I stick to water. Why, if you drink any of that other crap and you running at least in my case, I'll get sideaches and crap.

The way I see it, if spiking a guy is going to get you on base, and its a key situation go for it. This is a hard nosed game and I like baseball the way it used to be played, as in every player hard hard hard. I'm all for a players protection, but they already have like a 5 foot cushion over on second, so if I'm a player and they are on the bag, I'm going full speed to break it up.

No chance in HELL I'd trade Crede, but If Harris has a monster Spring, maybe we could throw in a pitching prospect, Sanders or Malone, or something, or Hummel could play third, Harris and Hummel for Beltran? Would you do it? harris and hummell for beltran???...of course..who wouldnt...but will KC??..im sure someone will give them a better deal.. imo KC will want young pitching for beltran and we got plenty of that..im guessing they'd want honel and malone..or maybe rauch and one of those two...now would you give up that??? I like your thinking Baggs Don't act all interested, simply make them an offer that the Sox are willing to make, then see what happens. I'd do something including Rowand. He's got to be part of the offer, imo, since Beltran will be replacing him and we don't need to hold onto him. I'd say Rowand and a pitching prospect or Rowand, Harris, and Stewart.

As far as the uncertainty between where the players will be. I'll be updating my reports once the official minor league rosters come up. I'm only guessing. Also, Hudler, thanks for the remarks. In reference to Barons, I always thought it was that way. From now on whenever I write a piece on them it will say Baron. Jim - Your probalby right in regards to those players. I keep thinking that the Sox are going to go slow at first with Corwin. I do think your right on the money when it comes to Wing. As far as Ring goes, I'm going to anticipate to see how he does as a starter. It can't hurt to put him there because he'll throw more innings and build up his stamina. Thanks for the info regarding yourself. Stats are a funny thing like that. I watch games and you'll see a pitcher really give up a ton of runs, but he's really pitching a great game the opponents are just getting a lot of dinkers. Things like that don't show up in the stat sheet though. It would just look like that pitcher struggled that day.

Well, some of those guys may be coming due for huge contracts so you made trade them to help you in other areas. Still, you have to wait and see just how everyone pans out and wait. I don't think this is a bad dillema to have though.

Your all set now

I don't think African' countries really hate us. The main reason they are dying is because they aren't as advanced as the western worlds because of how far they were pushed back from slavery. Still, thats all in the past, but its taking so long for those countries to become civilized and its even harderd consider the aids epediemic that they have to deal with.

Jon and Danny are going to be really good pitchers. So is Rauch. I'm really confident that all these guys will develop into more then just back of the end guys.

I hope Jason will just concentrate on one thing. I've heard he is pretty advanced considering he's never pitched exclusively. We know he's got a gun.

Ya, it looks real kick ass.

Do tell, I'm always looking to learn more from this. The only way I learn more is by hearing what mistakes I made.

THE SHOW IS STARTING RIGHT NOW

Heredia on the far left, then next to him Felix Diaz (but he may be Corwin). Then I'm thinking we have Neal Cotts, Edwin Almonte and on the far right Corwin Malone. I don't have a clue who the guy in the background is. Coop is in the middle.

I'm with you on that. Sign him for 3 more years and buerhle for 4 more years.
