Y2HH

I don't remember him at all. And until they pitch successfully in the majors, I don't care what kind of numbers they put up in the minors. Weren't Willy Dilly Harris and Joe Popsup Crede CAN'T miss future superstars that would both bat 300+ in the majors?! PFFFFFT. QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 03:27 PM) we got Wing back?!?!?! That's awesome! Ya, he's been slowed by injury but he is real young and hasnt lost enough time to lose his prospect status, IMO. I remember him putting up great numbers a couple years back, hopefully he can pick up where he left off (note: i havent looked at what he's done this year yet, if anything)

Not I. I'm never sad when we trade prospects and people cry about losing the future...pfft on prospects, very few ever amount to anything. I like the team we have now. Prospects schmospects. QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 03:25 PM) Was anyone really sad to see either go?

I think you were sad to lose Royce RING, not Wing. QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:29 PM) Woa!!! Wing is back. I remember being upset to lose that cat; it's nice to see him back along with our boy Stay Puff.

Good to see the Shingo we know and love returning to form.

Win or lose...Polite in that inning = GOD Me during that inning : After bases were loaded : After 0 runs score : :finger

McCarthy will be successful when and only when he starts getting his breaking pitches and changups over for strikes, just as he was doing in spring training. His past two starts he's been a one pitch pitcher, fastballs all over the place. If he cannot locate his change, and keep it in the strikezone, this is another automatic loss.

I will be there...left field above the Sox pen...cheering on my favorite team. I will the guy dressed as Podsednik, full uniform in 95 degree heat. Cuz I'm hardcore.

To end this...it's easy to put up a "base stat" like "Lee did hit .323 with men in scoring position in his final two seasons in Chicago". Sure, if you total EVERY opportunity... But how was he in the clutch...when it really mattered? I'll show you: By Situation ScorPosn, 2 outs - 21BB, 33K, .264AVG Close and Late - 18BB, 40K, .257AVG Nice. When we really needed him, in the clutch...he failed. When we were already leading by 30 runs...he'd do something. THAT is what I remember from Lee. We have the best team in the game and your arguing we'd be better with Lee. I mean this with all seriousness... Shut. The. f***. Up. -y2

In case you didn't re-read my post, I added this : You know whats incredibly annoying about this, and posts like this...take a look at this f***ing team...what in the WORLD do you have to complain about? Seriously, Carlos Lee?! Is that your complaint?! Now I see why they say no matter what, some people will be malcontent with whatever success comes...if this doesn't proove that, I don't know what does. We have the best team in baseball. Let me say that again. We have the best team in baseball. Do you really need to nitpick about the quality of trade differential between Lee and Pods?! Honestly? Enjoy what you have...because you have NEVER, in your life, seen a better team than this one.

Didn't I post on this once already? We HAD Lee for years and won...oh, thats right...we didn't win anything, Minnesota did. This year, we are winning...because we have balance. Lee is just another power hitter. We have plenty of power, WITHOUT Lee. This team plays baseball, the past three years our team played batting practice. This years team > Last 3 years combined. Now STFU about Lee, dumbasses. You're annoying. ** EDIT ** You know whats incredibly annoying about this, and posts like this...take a look at this f***ing team...what in the WORLD do you have to complain about?

Guess whos back...Shinjo's back...

Buehrle, his winshare is probably #2 right now, right behind Halladay. Buehrle seldom needs offensive help to bail him out, as indicated by his very low ERA while still leading the team and probably the league in IP. -hPOD

Hello Nail, my name is Hammer and I'm going to hit you on the head. QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 11:33 AM) We should fear ourselves. The only way we blow this and dont make the playoffs is not because of the other teams. It would be because we fell apart.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 11:06 AM) I'm just going to reference you these brilliant words of Y2HH. Truer words have never been spoken: "We are winning -- WITHOUT Lee. Not to mention we HAD Lee and for three consecutive years we BOMBED. I recall frequent miscues by Lee, spurts of total lazyness, dumb outfield plays and then ultra-hot-streaks where he'd hit multiple home runs and drive in 6 RBI's in a game...when we were already winning that game 10-0. I never recall Lee helping us a lick when we were down 1-0, though. How many times has Pods changed the face of a game just by getting on when we were down 1-0?!"

It was posted by someone named Winsox05, apparantly someone who still thinks offense wins championships...even though in the past three years we have none. And I've heard about that InsiderInfo fool.

Let's keep in mind those "lowly Royals" have the 2nd best offense in the entire league in the month of June.

I was going to reply to a DUMBASS post on WhiteSox.com, but then I remembered why I'm here in the first place. I honestly think stupid people like to be around stupid people, and stupid people seem to post on WhiteSox.com (sorry if any of you post there). Someone stated that they'd give Viz and Pods back for Lee, because with Lee our offense would be killer. How dumb of a statement is this?!@#$!#@ Seriousy, open your mind. This game was and IS about more than offense. We are winning -- WITHOUT Lee. Not to mention we HAD Lee and for three consecutive years we BOMBED. I recall frequent miscues by Lee, spurts of total lazyness, dumb outfield plays and then ultra-hot-streaks where he'd hit multiple home runs and drive in 6 RBI's in a game...when we were already winning that game 10-0. I never recall Lee helping us a lick when we were down 1-0, though. How many times has Pods changed the face of a game just by getting on when we were down 1-0?! Vizciano is a disappointment, yes...but he's better than he's pitching and I'm sure it's merely because we aren't using him the right way. I see a tendendy to overuse his breaking pitches rather than use that moving fastball...we need to stop this. As for Podsednik, he brings something to the game that you cannot see on the surface and I think it FAR outweighs Lee's power numbers. Pods can score from first on a long single (if necessary), Lee cannot. Pods puts pressure (constant pressure) on opposing pitchers and defenses, Lee cannot. Lee falls asleep and gets picked off at the most mis-opportune times, Pods does not. Lee has better power numbers than Pods, no doubt about it...and he can keep them. Lee didn't terrify an entire team when he got on base...Podsednik does, and that -- at least to me -- is bigger than any home run. I like Lee...but I like having Pods more...way more. So to those of you on WhiteSox.com who want to trade Pods back for Lee...I wanna trade you for a Milwaukee fan, because they're probably not as DUMB as you.

This is the best White Sox team I've ever had to pleasure to watch (so far).

I say we leave Shinjo in there. Hermy's been making me equally nervous as of late. I think Hermy needs a bit of a rest...his pitches seem slower lately.
