I don't know, but as far as I'm concerned, we got to go battle with the team we have now so let's take it that way. I could care less about rumors at this point in the season. So far, nothing looks realistic and there really hasn't been a whisper strong enough for me to think we might getting Burnett.

I'll Boo, but I won't get rowdy and I won't really care after the announce him. He personally isn't the thorn in our side this season nor should he be. Screw that bum and let's move on. I hope no one does anything stupid and yell nasty profanities. Then again, it's half-price night.

^^They're not to blame for no MVP 2006. As for Madden, of course it's a different gameplay than NCAA. It's like that in college. They're trying to make the games as realistic as possible.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) who cares, its his decision anywayz. whats the problem with him playing for the Dominican Republic...he is Dominican nothing wrong with that I agree big time. And he didn't live in the US his whole life. He was born in NY, then moved to the Dominican Republic shortly after for at least half of his childhood and then he moved to Miami after that. I think he was 14 when he moved to Miami. Anyway, it's his choice and he has every right to play for his team. If I moved to Mexico for my childhood, and moved back to Chicago, then I probably would play for Mexico since my parents are from there and I lived there for my childhood.

I thought Joe Kennedy was one of the guys the Rockies were high on.

QUOTE(letsgoarow @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 08:51 PM) we had sammy as well He was drafted by Texas. Didn't we also have one Matt Karchner??

Don't forget Gagne on the White Sox.

Boyz 2 Men - I'll Make Love To You How could that not be on there?? Doesn't it still hold the record for most babies popping out within the 9 months the song came out or something to that extent?

They forgot to add in Willie Harris and Timo Perez as the main catalysts off the bench.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 12:11 PM) Slightly different from the music thread. When i interviewed people on the radio station I worked at, I liked to use the question "What are you listening to now"(like its so original) followed by "If you were on an island and could only have 5 cds with you for the rest of your life, what would you pick?" I think it gives a good indication of where that person is in their life and what they are about. Currently the bands with the most plays on my Ipod are Failure(Fantastic Planet), Peter Gabriel(various), On(Shifting Skin), The Killers(various), Hum(You'd Prefer and Astronaut), and Brand New(Deja Entendu) My 5 cds would be 1. 311 - Grassroots 2. Brand New - Deja Entendu 3. David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust 4. Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile 5. Failure - Fantastic Planet this will be a good way to branch out my music interests since I no longer work in radio. Brand New - Deja Entendu is the ish.

I don't care who it is, but as long as we keep Timo and Willie, I'm happy.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) I've read Canseco's book, and I actually believe some of what he has to say. But, you can hardly use him as a credible source. And unless you followed Canseco in the minor leagues, you wouldn't really see a difference in his body size because he began juicing in the minors. I'm just saying Abreu could be on them. They could be, and that's what I'm saying. I don't believe they are, but I'm sure someone could make a case for it. And don't turn this into me accusing Frank or Bo, because I know you want to have me say something stupid. I'm just saying that Abreu could be on them, and people are defending him because they like him. They could be, they could not. Anyone could be, so why start accusing?

His cousin's name is Deng Gai. I haven't heard much of him though since the draft. He didn't get drafted though.

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 10:38 AM) Abreu, Beltran, Lee, Pujols are the first four that I remember Buehrle will have to face Abreu, Beltran, Pujols, then Lee

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 11:00 AM) You could also use this logic for McGwire and Sosa. McGwire had a great swing and I have no proof he was on steroids. So is Frank a cheater in your eyes?? Bo Jackson??

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 10:49 AM) if it is the cardinals....buehrle and mulder could be a match up possiblity if both teams get to the WS. We all know what a buehrle/mulder game is. A ripoff for the price of the WS tickets. It'll probably only be an hour.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 09:54 AM) If Sosa had done this, people would be up in arms. Nobody dislikes Abreu, thus no one accuses him. I like Abreu, too, but I'm still going to call it like I see it. And there must be ways to get around this testing policy. The NFL policy is much more strict, and players get away with it there. I don't think it's much of a coincidence that only small fish have been caught so far. As long as a player has the money, such as the star players, they can stay ahead of the system. There's a difference. Abreu has always had HR power. Sosa was a scrawny guy when with the White Sox and Rangers(I've even seen Cubs fans admit this). Abreu looks more natural than Sosa ever will.

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 08:20 AM) They reported on the radio that Garland will pitch in the 5th or 6th inning Why 5th or 6th? He should be pitching right after Buehrle and Buehrle supposedly is going 2 innings.

Abreu had several good things working for him. First, he had his personal pitcher that throws to him everyday in batting practice. He took lots of pitches so he wouldn't tire himself out too easily. He was hitting left handed in which the ball carries more to RF. Plus it took a long ass time between the first round and the final round. There was plenty of time and I mean plenty of time to get rest. Finally, the guy was locked in. You would think there would be a day in which people would be able to win something without being accused of steroids. If Mark Texeiria wins the AL HR crown, I'm calling foul play. That's seriously how stupid some of this stuff is.

I agree and I still have some worries. Well see though. We'll be tested. I think they said 4 of the AL's top 5 team ERA's come from the AL Central(White Sox, Cleveland, Minnesota & Detroit are in there I believe).

Haha, I see where Mark gets it from. Great stuff.

Along Came A Spider

This is Garland's first ASG, I don't expect him not to play. He'll pitch an inning, probably the 2nd pitcher to be used in the game. If it wasn't his first, I think you could say he might not pitch. Garland wants to get in this game and I don't blame him.

I feel sorry for Bay. Getting a bunch of s*** from people.

It looks like he's doing it with such ease. Reminds me of Ken Griffey Jr. when he used to do them. Wow, just wow.
