I enjoyed the books, and was a fan of the movies until the last one came out. I thought that one was just poorly done. There was just too much jumping around with the story (still bought the DVD though).

Just saw it. Absolutely hilarious!

Where is that link to the player's current contract status?

MB!!! YES!!!

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jul 7, 2007 -> 08:23 PM) If the Sox give in to MB for a full no trade, then next year they will have to give in to Garland, and in the future all Sox starters will want the NTC...Then you get a staff with 3-4 starters with NTC and the Sox would be screwed... MB is clearly in a different category than Garland and any other Sox pitcher. They have already shown that they think so by offering him a 4-year deal.

The Sox really need to give in to the NTC. From most of the fan's perspective that I have seen and most of the analysts, he is giving the Sox too good of a deal. By not doing this, they are finding a very big way to alienate fans.

Nasty looking curve there.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jul 6, 2007 -> 07:41 PM) Wow, it will be a sad loss if we lose with a DH while they bat their pitcher. They got a 3-run head start before that happened though.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 6, 2007 -> 01:39 PM) I'm just guessing, but I think he's suggesting while Fields bat might be ready for the majors, his glove is not. I'll bet that we get an absolute crapload of complaints about Fields' glove this year because we are all used to a defensive 3rd baseman of Crede's caliber. Fields just cannot do that. Who really can?

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Jul 6, 2007 -> 01:33 PM) We Need Joe Crede Next Year... and we need him healthy. Yep, time to give up on Fields. He has played how many seasons so far? Clearly, he has established a bad track record

I can see the correct thing to do with my 20/20 past vision goggles!! Anyone else want to try them on?

I love seeing the brooms out!

QUOTE(Tannerfan @ Jun 28, 2007 -> 09:17 PM) We need to play more bad teams. Haven't we been doing that recently?

QUOTE(quickman @ Jun 28, 2007 -> 08:43 PM) this is typical whitesox bull. We overrate our players and the rest of baseball knows it. I think that the truth is somewhere in the middle. KW and Co. will talk things up like crazy. The other teams will talk things down like crazy. They have opposing objectives for how these players should be viewed, and they are both talking in exactly that expected way.

QUOTE(GOD @ Jun 28, 2007 -> 08:34 PM) remember when these game threads used to have 30 pages every game. Fair-weather fans People are a bit more interested in next year and the future right now than games. Take the look at the Buehrle thread as an example

Congrats Frank!

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jun 28, 2007 -> 08:05 AM) Awesome! What a load of crap. Are there actually any US citizens in favor of this bill?

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 10:38 AM) And the Score is talking about the Bears. Typical. ^^^^This is what tells me that it is probably not true, or at least, not as close to being done as reported. They would still be talking about it if it was.

I'll wait for it to actually happen before I start getting excited. This may be just another way to increase his value for trades.

QUOTE(Omar Minaya @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 03:30 AM) 1) tried to say that the white sox starters were better than the mets - proven wrong You are completely wrong if you think that this is "proven". As has been shown you are comparing the NL to the AL. The AL is much tougher. The general consensus is to add 1.00 ERA to the NL for a comparison. So, how do those numbers look to you? Also, I would much rather get 2 prospects then someone with Milledges "character".

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 08:23 PM) So its actually true that our bullpen has a worse ERA than the DRays pen? Good lord Is there any bullpen with a worse ERA the ours?

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 12:21 PM) +1 His D has been unspectacular, but adequate. He's living in the defensive shadow of Crede and Ventura, which doesn't help. I think he'll be fine in the long run. Yep, the D has been fine, but we are all used to watching Crede over there. What rookie is not going to look bad compared to Crede on D?

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 12:44 PM) i think you get into dangerous territory when you start trying to define "good fan" and "bad fan." everyone deals with this kind of failure in their own way and i don't think any one course of coping or other shows whether you are a good fan or a bad fan. i tend to respect everyone's right to react however they see fit. I'm going to have to disagree with you on this. Sure, people can and will react any way that they see fit, but there are things that are just plain wrong, and telling someone to "go to hell" is something that is just plain wrong. Why would you ever wish that on anyone? Think a bit about what you say.

I like it. If they are forced to make smaller vehicles or cut back on the SUVs, then I like it even more.

QUOTE(SadChiSoxFanOptimist @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 10:17 PM) I could not believe that the Sox allowed Rooney, the only real annoncing pro they had, leave w/o an effort to retain him. Inexcusable. Yeah... You may want to read up on that situation a bit because it is very obvious you haven't. Please do that before deeming things inexcusable, it really reflects badly.
