Jose hasd more power, but Cabrera is better all around

for minute, when I first looked, I thought It said Steven Bartman :fthecubs

Couldn't have said it better myself big red

Definitely Packers n Eagles. Just because I like both of the teams but really pulling for da pack this year! Eigher pack n colts or Panthers n titians(if packers are elimiated) in the super bowl. Did anyone notice that the Patriots always play better when it snows I forgot what their record is in the snow, but I heard it's very good. Titans better hope it dosen't snow

Now thats a team that will be dangerous too. I truely think that next year will be their year. And how come noone's mention the twins yet? They are still as dangerous as they come (even with the departures of alot of FA's they can surprise people.) And Quickman since when is the Royals manager better than our manager? they are both practically the same as far as enthusiastic. Give ozzie a chance this year, then we'll see who's better. Yes the board is for posts good and bad, but I should think it's here to be thinking positive about our team. I would rather not let KW make a move that will hurt our team. He has actually learned that from the last 3 seasons(which he's made at least 1 bad move Ritchie, Wells, even though we only gave up siroka (sp?),Koch=if cotts dosent produce etc...) I still believe KW will improve our team somehow before spring training. You just gotta be patient.

Fair line-up but I don't care less about Palmeiro. How about this lineup (assuming konerko is gone.. 1.Reed(LF) (for obvious reasons ) 2. Harris(2nd) table setters at the top. Can you sense a bunt and steal?! 3.Ordonez(RF) ozzie said it! and of course very consistant 4.Thomas(1st) he hit very well at when at 1st n it will keep him from whining 5.Lee(DH) Another good year from him probably 6.Rowand(CF) I think he'll have a good year 7.Valentin(SS) So we won't have 2 automatic outs at the bottom 8.Crede(3rd) He'll be even better (my favorite major league player) 9.Olivo/Alomar© Olivo 1 step closer towards figuring it out Rotation: (It will be a RLRLR Rotation.) Loaiza Buehrle Ponson Washburn Garland You could even stick lee in the # two batting order good lineup and good rotation

Eck did not deserve it?!?! Now that I am shocked of, even though it is your opinion. I question more of monitor. The guy had more than 1,000 hits at the DH position. (and mr. Eck still holds alot of records for closers [100 comp. gms and 100 svs] the only 1 to do it) But I think both of them really deserved it as both were very versitile. I think ryno might get in by 05 or 06. If he dosent get in by 06...he wont be getting in by 07. I guarantee that (gwinn, ripkin jr., mcwire (sp?) are definitely getting in.)

How many weeks ago was it Ribbie? Cause in the trib., KW was actually saying he planned on talking to Konerko at spring training about the "trade rumors."

First of all, Ritchie was never a good pitcher anyway. And Colon did not suck last season. If you look at his stats he was "decent." Not his ace material, but defientely was't bad eigher. Hell he was in the top 3 for complate games come on . Look at the people just this year who came to the sox and we reignited thier careers. Loaiza, gordon etc.. Even people from the past got their careers back from being in the GREAT white sox uni.

I just call schoenweiss eigher "shoe" or "shoey"

Dude, there have been SOOO many rumors flouting around about konerko, maggs, valentin, lee, thomas etc... etc..... I don't know where to begin. Are you sure it wasn't LA?

He was also famous for his famous saying " you gotta believe" in certian situations. RIP to him and I send my condolences to his family.

im the same height and throw about 80

"always seem more effective out of the bullpen" is they key there ghost. When you look back at '95, that was his "breakout" year as far as his 1st time in the bullpen. That was also his best year. Loaiza was mostly a starter anyway in his career. Even hawk said in the broadcast (when loaiza was with the blue jays) that when loaiza figures his stuff out or learns a "new pitch" he is going to be something special. He already had the stuff. He just didn't harnest it. Tarvarez dosen't have the stuff for a starter. His wins compared to Loaizas (before this year.) was almost the same, but that dosent mean anything. Tarverez is the next Jose Lima.

Wow..now even the Indians are making moves. They could even win this division. DBAHO..weren't we just talking about the Indians being dangerous on another thread?!

It's cool man. I'll just learn how to just not care even if someone repeats it. We are all family at soxtalk. The Indians will be dangerous this year. But I expect the to put up a better race next year when their young hitters get more experience in the majors. When it's all said and done, we'll be talking about the indians like we did in the 90's

Well...now it's Konerko to Dodgers again

Agreed Critic and sorry about my earilier post "silence the critics" I didn't mean it in that regard But remeber, That "other" team got into the playoffs with good pitching which is a question mark going into the season with us cause we still don't know who's our 4th or 5th starter (cause I just don't like Shoe in the rotation)

Hmmm...... I could have sworn I said something like that at my other post above.. But I totally agree. Can't wait to see that kid Jody Gerut. He's going to be quite a hitter, him and JEREMY REED

That's where your wrong. Cotts will see majors again. I dunno if it will be for the sox but he will if he's on another team or not. I believe, IMO, that Cotts and Moss are the same pitchers as far as control. Did you see how many walks Moss had last year? Cotts can at least Strike people out. (check his minor league stats and he only issued I think 1 or 2 hrs. that's it!) Control and batting eye can be taught. It might not be that BIG of a difference, but it will improve someone's swing (as far as batters) or velocity (as far as pitching.)

Right on witesoxfan. I think I posted something like that about the marlins on another thread Anyways, I actually think we do have a shot at our weak division. Our offense hasn't lost a step (if maggs is still here and if konerko can come back to form) and our pitching can go up against any of our division rivals. But you cant hate douters (The Hawk) even if we feel they are not true fans. I think the sox should silence the critics and just play their game on the field.

and getting better

Damn straight go LSU and Brian West
