QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 11:28 AM) I still think right now it's Halladay, Rogers, Buehrle, and Garland in the AL Martinez, Willis, Peavy, and Carpenter in the NL. EDIT:Also Clemens in the NL(how could I forget him??????) I strongly agree. I'll hold out hope though.

I hope he does. That would be fantastic. It would make the Illini favorites to win the Big Ten again and a possible Final Four contender again with him.

Went to the game. Really nice crowd(looked like they had more than yesterday). Crede comes through tonight. I love it.

Sorry brainfart. I still do think those extra days benefit our pitchers. Especially when the go deep into games ala Garland today. It prevents them from hitting the wall. I rather have some of those 5 days of complete rest. That's just me though.

Garland would only be getting 4 days rest(Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday). I don't like that at all. If you're not going to pitch BMac, send him down and bring up another pitcher. Our pitchers throw enough as it is.

I don't think you sit him and have Garland rest on short rest. Garland can get rocked and people will be asking for Ozzie's head. And if BMac isn't going to pitch, send him down and bring up another pitcher(like Adkins as a LR). I don't like BMac, but I hate the idea of pitching our guys on short rest. It didn't work last year and it won't this year IMHO.

Obviously no one listened to Joe Morgan because I watched the replay yesterday and he was giving them mad love. People are overreacting big time. They've been giving fair coverage to the White Sox. And the White Sox didn't lose the game in which Hermy was up and Brantley said he should've been put in IIRC. And also, many people on here felt the same about Ozzie putting Hermy in as Brantley did. Some fans try to reach so much.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) I'll see if i can rig it to get Crede the starting third basemen. Could you really??

If I'm correct, Greinke has an excellent curveball and throws a bunch of breaking balls and offspeed stuff. If that's the case, the White Sox will have trouble. We don't handle those type of pitchers too well at all.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 07:50 AM) Duque will be the guy, book it. I think Oz will rest him here and there so that he can go late into the season. I expect B-Mac to get spot starts against the teams we should beat like KC., TB, Detroit, Seattle etc. I'd rather see us go after a bullpen guy. Package up all the dead weight in the minors (Borchard and the merry-go-round of 5th starters from last year) and get ONE solid bullpen arm. Couldn't say it better myself.

QUOTE(Finkelstein @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 11:34 AM) I voted Minnesota. They have the talent and experience. Cleveland has the talent, but may be a bit too young right now. I don't get this. People act like all of Cleveland's players are in their early 20's. The average age of their team is 28/29. They're not too young. Anyway, I fear us choking.

The article about All City team is going to talk about how it's rigged and about how Sox fans suck at everything and a bunch of other garbage.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 08:32 PM) Personally, i think Brandon is one year away from being ready. 2 and I've always maintained that.

No. Cotts is one of the few bright spots in the pen. And you can't just expect to stretch him out midseason. That almost never works. The pen is strong with him and not strong without him. He's starting to gain confidence as a reliever and we're in the middle of a division title race. You have to leave him there. El Duque will be fine as at least the 5th starter. We just need that guy to go .500 which I'm very confident he will.

QUOTE(ReinsdorfSucks @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) they are hesitant to do anything with shingo because they are getting japanese ad revenue and publicity. Bingo.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 07:59 PM) Please don't jump on me for this, but what do we do about the 5th starter spot now? Clearly McCarthy can't do it this year. Who knows about El Duque. Dye homers. Thank God. Not too much to worry about. If we get a 4 ERA out of the 5 spot, we should be fine. Remember guys, we weren't really expecting anything but .500 ball out of the 5th slot.

The Ball = It Gawn!!!

He's new so don't flame him too much. PK still needs to get his AVG up else he has no chance ahead of the Boston propoganda + 1 Mark Teixeria.

QUOTE(olp_nch @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 07:53 PM) Who the hell is this McCarthy kid.... and what happend to that Spring Training Phenom pitcher we had? But seriously folks, the kid is 21, and has no change up..... what do you expect? He showed a changeup in ST which made him so dominating. That's what shocks me the most.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) I thought this kid is supposed to have pinpoint control, he has gone full on alot of hitters and walked alot. I know he is young and only 21 years old. DBTH I think he's having the Kerry Wood problem. Tries to K everyone and doesn't know you could just get the simple groundball. Anyway, this many runs would've gotten Contreras the win yesterday while today, it doesn't look like it'll be enough.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 07:50 PM) Didn't most of the board think he wasn't ready anyways? Not Chisoxfn apparently. He clearly isn't ready though and his problems from AAA are magnified here. Hopefully we could just get more runs. AJ must be pissed though.

If anyone wants to know another, there's Streambox Ripper which is a damn good and easy program in it's own right.

QUOTE(southsider17 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) That's my vote. Mine as well. Just say nod your head when he's looking at you and say hi. Don't be an a** and say something stupid. Unless he initiates something, you shouldn't.

Everyone is a threat to the White Sox. It's almost halfway point and the White Sox are no longer a team that could sneak up on teams. People want to beat them and "show the baseball world that they are not forreal" similar to Baltimore and the Dodgers. Tonight, the KC Royals are a threat. Therefore we must demolish them. Indians are a threat and Minny is a threat as well.
