Leonard Zelig

Is this comfirmed then, that Ross is ready to come back?

I thought Ichiros's hit was the biggest of the game.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 10:37 PM) Here is a list of the pitchers we didn't get: 1. Only faced Johan Santana 1 time of the 5 played 2. CC Sabathia 1 time in 9 played 3. Didn't face Jamie Moyer (SEA) 4. Didnt face Roy Halladay (TOR) 5. Didn't face Kenny Rogers in 5 played 6. Mark Prior only 1 time in 6 played 7. Bartolo Colon 1 time in 7 played (ANA) 8. No Jake Peavy or Adam Eaton vs SD GO SOX great first half... I'm pretty sure we faced Prior twice.

I bought one for $10, they r the s*** and they come in black and grey. Support the Hawk and buy one of these sweet T's. You're the guy selling them aren't you?

What happened to the All-Encompassing trade thread?

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) As it stands now, we would face Boston in a best-of-5 ALDS, and then likely the Angels in a best of 7 ALCS. What would the starting pitching matchups be for those series? (For Boston, I'm going to assume they trade for a closer and move Schilling to #1 by season's end because a closer is worthless if your starter gets shelled.) You can't predict series ending early, so let's just compare the top 4 starters from each team: ALDS: Buerhle v. Schilling (even) Garcia v. Clement (even) Garland v. Wells (even) Contreras/El Duque v. Wakefield (adv. Boston) ALCS: Buerhle v. Colon (even) Garcia v. Washburn (even) Garland v. Lackey (adv. ChiSox) Contreras/El Duque v. Byrd (adv. Angels) Now in both of these scenarios, the biggest thing driving my belief that the Sox need to trade for a starter is the 4th game matchups. There is no way the Sox should pitch anyone on short rest, so you need a 4th starter in each series unless you are lucky enough to get a sweep. I think Buehrle, Garcia and Garland may get it done, but given our relative lack of postseason experience and the fact we are facing stronger hitting clubs, we need every edge we can get. Go out and get a better 4th playoff starter Kenny. Please. If Boston is in a tight race, they will not have the advantage of setting their rotation for the playoffs. And what if the Sox went 5 games in the ALDS, then Mark obviously wouldn't be starting game 1 of the ALCS. Too early to even think about it.

Does anybody wonder why Florida would want to give Burnett up at this point in the season? They are 7 games behind the Nats, who I do not think will keep up their first half pace, and only 3 games out of the wild card.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 10:07 AM) There are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more fans that hate the Yankees, vs hate the Sox. Pods might just win this thing. Well, unless you count ESPN employees. Vote early, vote often. The Chicago way. Go PODS!!

I bought this game, and everytime I try to play, it freezes up on me.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 02:17 AM) He's tearing the cover off the ball for Charlotte, he's ready to come back, it's just a matter of Kenny and Ozzie making their minds up on who they want to send down. Thanks. Great to hear. Do you know what positions he has been playing?

Has anybody heard anything about Ross recently?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 05:26 PM) I don't understand this at all. It's beyond obvious we need to seperate Contreras and Duque. Ugh....sometimes, it's so frustrating. Maybe they know something that we don't.

THE BUFORD STICK (The Legend of Sheriff Buford Pusser) Now Sheriff Buford Pusser's gotten too big for his britches With his book reviews and movie deals Down at the car lot making public appearances For breaking up our homes and stills I know he likes to brag how he wrestled a bear But I knew him from the funeral home Ask him for a warrant, he'll say "I keep it in my shoe" That son of a b**** has got to go That son of a b**** has got to go Now they lined up around the block to see that movie And crying for his ambushed wife Marveling about about shot eight times and stabbed seven Some folks can't take a hint They say he didn't take no crap from the State Line Gang What the hell they talking bout? I'm just a hard workingman with a family to feed And he made my daughter cry Said he made my daughter cry "Watch out for Buford!" is what they keep on telling me But to me he's just another crooked lawman up in Tennessee He gets a new hot car to keep us on our toes And that ridiculous stick where the press corp. goes And some big time Hollywood actors playing him on the big screen "Watch out for Buford! He's shutting down our stills and whores" But it ain't like he's all that different from what was there before It wouldn't take my man long to do the job Just a partially sawed through steering rod And I wouldn't have to worry about the good Sheriff anymore Now the funeral's got'em lined up for twenty blocks No one liked that SOB when he's alive But the ruckus he began keeps a spreadin' like a wildfire Not sure if I'm gonna survive Hit an embankment doing 120 on a straight-away The Lord works in mysterious ways They'll probably make another movie, glorifying what he done But I'll never have to hear them say I'll never have to hear them say Watch out for Buford Patterson Hood / Drive-By Truckers © Soul Dump Music (BMI)

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) I'm worried about them because when they do hit, the win games in bunches. Cleveland has one 9 game winning streak this season, their next longest streak is 4 . They also have a couple of 4 game losing streaks, while the Sox haven't lost more than 3 in a row. And have three 8 game winning streaks.

Twinks lose 3-1.

Gobble got out of it.

Anybody seen the lineups yet?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 11:55 AM) After seeing Pale Hose Talk littered with tons of trade threads, both real and imagined, we have decided to minimize the clutter that has come with it, and start a thread for all of the trade talk in one place. From now on all trade rumors and why don't we trade for so-and-so talk will belong here. Any new threads will be merged into here. The one exception will be is if the Sox make an ACTUAL deal, then we will have other threads about it. Until that point, please keep all trade talk in these confines. Thanks No, thank YOU.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jun 24, 2005 -> 02:33 PM) same as well, they need a buddy list thing there I play at Poker Stars too, a buddy list would be nice, but under REQUESTS in the main lobby, you can find a player, and they save the names you have looked for. My name there is JCD755.

Ozzie is busy those days.
