Basically the Pacers made the deal because Bender is a number on their cap and the #17 pick, they didn't feel comfortable taking someone there who they could feel would contribute right away. They feel that Devean George and Medvedenko can however and the pick is a throw-in. Don't be suprised if they make another move to get some capspace.

QUOTE(Nokona @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 01:35 PM) How about World Seires MVP? I'd like to see Frank get one first.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 09:46 AM) Yeah this was a great win, but look at the August schedule. All of these are must win games right now. Talk to me on Labor Day. Sure doesn't hurt to win now though, does it?

QUOTE(Jimenez4MVP @ Jun 18, 2005 -> 02:38 PM) American League East New York Yankees New York Mets Boston Baltimore Toronto Central Chicago White Sox Chicago Cubs Cleveland Detroit Minnesota West Oakland LA Angels LA Dodgers Texas Houston National League East Washington Philadelphia Florida Tampa Bay Pittsburgh Central St. Louis Kansas City Cincinatti Milwaukee Atlanta West San Diego San Francisco Seattle Arizona Colorado That is how I would do it.. And the playoff format seems fine how it is A few other things.. I would scrap interleague play.. With this alignment I have there is no reason for it anymore, plus its not even enjoyable anymore.. Everyone just wants to see the close cities clash and ive basically set that up to play into regualr scheduling.. I would also say goodbye to the DH, I think making the pitcher have to bat is how it should really be in all leagues.. It helps strategy play into the game more.. EDIT: I swapped Seattle and LA Dodgers to keep the rival cities theme going Rivalries wouldn't be rivalries anymore. Especially in the city. Plus you give each city less of a chance to win with having both teams of one city in the same division. Cubs-Sox would lose it's luster. There really would be no more Yankees - Red Sox rivalry. Interleague play is meant for those rivalry games. You mean to tell me you rather see the Sox facing a new opponent like the Rockies for the same opponent in the Royals or Tigers?? Interleague play is no worse than regular play. You might get a lopsided game or you might get a real great game. Same goes as facing your own division. I myself would be sick of seeing the White Sox pound on the Royals 30 games a year.

I say it's a good idea, but the wrong player. This team doesn need a long reliever. Currently, instead of stretching out Cotts, we've shortened him. If this team is getting pounded or looks like its about to get pounded in the 3rd inning, we really just have to leave our guys out to dry. We need someone at least as a stopgap so we don't burn out our pen or SP.

Good thing you're not GM. Commissioner rather. It's fine the way it is.

As the saying goes, "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying!" Anyway, it's all in good hearted nature. It's gamesmenship. I also think MB made the comment about Zambrano because he wanted to show that there are other guys who have experience besides Maddux. Eh well.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 18, 2005 -> 12:55 PM) I really don't understand some Sox fans sometimes. They b**** that not enough people come to the park, then they b**** because certain types of people are at the park. They b**** that the people from neighborhood don't support the team, then they b**** about possible plans to change the make up of the neighborhood. I think some Sox fans would rarther live forever in 2nd or 3rd place as long as the 'right' 15,000 people are in the seats. Seriously. Stop being picky. They're helping filling up the ballpark. They're okay. Only one fan I can't stand and that's Cub fans who come to the game wearing Cubs gear and the Cubs aren't even playing them. Even them, I'll let in the park though if they're paying. What's different between the White Sox showing other fans on the scoreboard and celebrities? I don't see why the White Sox should try their hardest to keep them off the scoreboard. I actually think it's pretty nice to see a celeb at the game as it is to see them anywhere else.

As a PR guy, I wouldn't trade Buehrle now. He's so damn good for the White Sox pissing off the Cubs. I f'n love it.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 03:21 PM) Wait wait wait. Did Rome say that Buehrle was alluding to Maddux or just "someone" on the Cubs? Because if they jumped to the conclusion that it was Maddux, that makes me wonder if they already knew that he does that. Yeah, so far all media outlets just assume he's talking about Maddux. So I'm guessing they suspect the same thing.

Hopefully PK doesn't become a GM. He would absolutely ruin a team.

I'd trade him for Johann, Peavy, Oswalt, Halladay currently. Prior when healthy. That's about it. BMac is a whole different story. Oh, I almost forgot Mike Maroth and Kerry Wood

Here's mine.

QUOTE(ChiSoxFan @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 06:42 AM) Wow, that was sad. Guess you never know a person until you've seen what they have had to go through. You can only hope that he can reconcile with his father, & that his father can get clean. My sentiments exactly. I only hate him because he's a Twin. I feel sorry for him and his dad.

I caught it. He said, he's being hypocritical because there's probably someone on the White Sox starting to cheat. Some guy in the forum segment also said, this would be turning point and that the White Sox always self-implode and they are starting to do so now. oh yeah, looks like we'll lose 10 of our next 11 because Buehrle called someone out It's funny also because Rome asked Chad Cordero, is it safe to assume that every team has one guy that does it and Chad kept saying no and that there's probably only a few guys in the league who are doing it. He also said he knows of no one that's doing it. Rome is an f'n idiot. So are his panelists.

When things like this are said, it makes me glad that the real leaders are Mark Buehrle and Carl Everett

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 01:17 PM) That 2003 team, if it had won the AL Central, would have rolled over the Yankees and the Red Sox. It would have gone to the World Series, where it would lose embarassingly bad to Florida. Instead, they lost embarassingly bad to the AL equivalent of the Marlins. I agree. Even Cashman said that the only team he was scared of that year was the White Sox. It was an incredible team on paper and looked like it had no holes. I think if we had Ozzie that year, no doubt we make it. That's when we lost it all in 1 Twins series.

and tell me why. Lot's of people say Alfonso Soriano. I'll hold back my arguments, but back up yours with some meaningful stats(don't give me stuff like VORP or some weird ass stat that someone invested yesterday. Give me OBP, AVG, Defensive stats, etc.)

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) I dont want to use injuries as an excuse, but man the Twins have been beat up this year. All of our middle infielders are hurt. The Twins put Abernathy on the DL and activated Luis Rivas, who was to be going on a rehab assingment after the game tonight. Castro goes down tonight. But its not the 4th of July yet. Still a lot of baseball to be played. Just as long as the Twins are 4-5 games back by the end of July, things will be good Normally I would agree with you, but last year the Sox were without Frank and Maggs for a huge part of the season, so no go.

Depends on where you are trying to download from. If it's like a music video not from Launch, I could get that. There's also programs to download streams.

If I could buy this at a regular store, I would.

He'll do it. He's gone on record saying that he wants to be a head coach or an assistant for Phil if he becomes a coach at all. Here's his chance. Unless someone offers him a GM job, he's not turning it down.

Haha, that's funny. He needs to get better recruiters here though if he can't do it on his own.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) Seriously Nathan, Crain, Rincon, and Romero are working 6 inning games over there. It's incredible annnoying listen to these announcers after playing MVP. The only thing I can think of is...GRAB SOME PINE...MEAT Hey, I just noticed your sig. Anyway you could get PK's OBP with RISP??

That's actually a smart idea. I'll probably do that.
