Any word on when Young will be able to play again?

QUOTE(Rooftop Shots @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 12:00 AM) I think you've got it right my friend!! There was a game last week where he answered someones e-mail, and as far as eating goes, he says he doesn't eat anything during the game, and that he'll go through 4 diet pepsi's per game. And when there is a blowout it is about 4 Diet Pepsi's and Rum probably. "What does the snail say riding the turtle?" "WwEEEEEEEEE!"

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 12:02 AM) just be thankful uribe doesnt give daily interviews I thought Ron Harper was bad, then I heard Uribe

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:41 PM) are you guys serious? THIS THREAD IS NOT TRYING TO BE SERIOUS. learn some humor people. and the thread creator is right in his satire. good thread Yeah he is. Some of the peoples idiotic knee-jerk reactions show just how insane they are acting lately.

Maybe we can have a Soxtalk Hooked on Phonics day or a develop a sense of humor day. Ribbie, I guess some people are just tight asses around here.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 05:18 AM) A really dumb thread. And yes, I do realize I'm contributing to it, but seriously. PK has been a problem for some time. I've not only said this before today's game, I've said it for a while. For a "big bat" he's f***ing terrible. I thought the idea of the thread was pretty funny after I read it.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 04:50 AM) Lingerie has its own category. I mean like camis and nightys and what not. Underwear are more boxers, tidy-whities, briefs, etc. Been spendin a lot of time reading your mom's Victoria's Secret catalogue in your bathroom?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 05:12 AM) You forgot sultan of slow. Hahah, that's a good one. Haven't heard that before. At first I read it fast and thought it said sultan of swallow. Not too far off, he is sucking it up lately.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:33 AM) I have a bad feeling that KW will offer him his contract after the season. Captain popup, master of the GIDP, Commander of the solo homer will be with us for at least 4 more years. Please don't ever put that thought in my head. It is bad enough to watch now, but another 4 years would drive me insane.

QUOTE(forrestg @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:46 AM) Absolutely, I love Frank too and appreciate what he's did for the sox but I have this feeling that Frank has turned into Maglio Junior. If we can handle it without frank until he's ready so be it he deserves a play from us. He's not going anywhere. Magglio Jr? What the hell are you talking about.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:45 AM) Intangibles is just another word for White Guy. You know who has the intangibles Stubby Clap and Luke Ridnour. Nice line I love how Erstad is living off his name for having one great year in his whole career. He is more mediocre than just about anyone on our team.

QUOTE(Carlo Paz @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:12 AM) I have never liked Konerko. Until this year he has always been streaky as hell. Now he seems to have settled into a consistent mediocrity. I just hate the fact that guys with big contracts get to play no matter how well they play (Konerko & Uribe). This team would be a little worse defensively and MUCH better offensively with Gload at first and Ozuna at SS (what the hell do these guys have to do to get a shot???!!!) Don't forget Vizcaino

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:43 AM) He needs to learn how to draw a walk. The only way you are gonna get Rowand to draw a walk is if you give him a pencil and paper.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:28 AM) I've been tired of him for a long long time. ^^^^^^ Paulie Boy has been sucking it up for a long time.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:29 AM) Rowand's splits Scroll down and look at Rowand's #'s with runners on and in scoring position, as well as how he hits in certain counts. He kills when he is ahead of the count. Isn't that when most hitters succeed though?

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 01:59 AM) I really don't want Gload in RF. Konerko is swinging well now. Hopefully get Dye back tomorrow, Gload at 1B and DH Paulie. Everett in RF, Gload at 1B, Koney DH and Timo where he belongs on the bench kissing Oz's ass.

:puke

AJ going back to his old hitting ways with the twins?

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 01:37 AM) Oakland winning again, that Rookie Swisher is on fire . Why cant we give rooks a chance to flourish? Anderson or Young. They are both outfielders and our OF is pretty full. Anderson still strikes out too much and Young has been injured for a while now and can't even run, let alone play. Does that answer your questions?

I wouldn't mind seeing Tony Tits back on the Hawks again. I really liked him when he was around.

I don't think he will get the RBI's personally. Maybe they should call Patterson back up bahahahhaha.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 07:32 PM) According to Jayson Stark, the White Sox are talking BMac AND Politte or Cotts or Jenks (not Marte) AND Contreras as a "second piece in the deal." Now, I don't believe this. But it would be a terrible trade for the Sox if true. The only player currently on the Sox major league club I'd give up for Burnett would be Contreras. He's better than Bronson Arroyo or anyone the Yankees could dredge up. So I don't see why KW doesn't just call Florida's bluff. Burnett is not signed next year; Contreras is. The numbers above suggest they would be getting a comparable pitcher they could put right into their rotation. And he might even draw some Cuban fans. Beyond that, Jeff Bejanaru and B-listers. No BMac. No Anderson. No Sweeney or Young. DON'T CAVE IN, KW. With Hermanson unable to pitch back to back to back, we need a 5-deep bullpen in the postseason, and since Wagner, Guardado, etc. are not getting moved, we can't afford to surrender any bullpen pitchers we currently have other than Takatsu. Maybe the second part of the deal with Count is to land a guy like Mota?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 09:14 PM) Woohoo, Konerko over Gload Pods, LF ... Rowand, CF ... Everett, DH ... Konerko, 1B ... Pierzynski, C ... Crede, 3B ... Perez, RF ... Uribe, SS ... Harris, 2B ... Garland, RHP. :fyou Paulie Boy

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 06:17 PM) I've been half ass posting that for a couple days...Mockingly, obviously... Everyone's favorite A ball prospect is putting up a .250 OBP with a 18/1 K/BB ratio in AAA... CALL HIM UP NOW! Yeah, I figured. I have kinda noticed it the past 2-3 days. You are keeping some of us around here entertained

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) No he's not. The stats prove it. Hillenbrand .297 AVG / .360 OBP runner on .302 AVG / .363 OBP RISP .281 AVG / .350 OBP RISP w/ 2 out .261 AVG / .378 OBP bases loaded .333 AVG / .300 OBP Konerko .251 AVG / .350 OBP runner on .241 AVG / .335 OBP RISP .225 AVG / .346 OBP RISP w/ 2 out .140 AVG / .283 OBP bases loaded .429 AVG / .429 OBP Konerko dominates bases loaded but he only had 7 at bats with the bases juiced. Hillenbrand is a better player. He plays 1st and 3rd. Konerko has 10 HRs more but only 7 more rbi. Allot of his homers are solo and he sucks in the clutch. Just think how many more RBI a guy like Hillenbrand or someone that can hit with RISP would have if they had the opportunity that Koney has had with pods and gooch on base for him.
