QUOTE(Wedge @ May 9, 2005 -> 01:09 PM) These match-ups are in our favor, right? No one's favors. Their 5 vs our 5, their 1 vs our 1, their 2 vs our 2, their 3 vs our 3.

It's funny because the Twins keep saying that they are not playing their best. If I remember correctly, they are off to better starts than they were the past 3 years. It sure seems like it. They keep saying they're not playing their best, but yet give no examples. Yet, they keep on ignoring anyone who says that the Sox are hitting piss poor right now and don't have their best hitter, Frank in the lineup.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ May 9, 2005 -> 01:19 PM) Daydream? My God, You are delussional! No way would I look at that kind of a trade. You don't give up that many talented players for one guy we probably don't need. It has to be a fit. I like the bullpen except for Vizcaino and you have to hope he will get on track. Exactly. I don't get the hugeeee fascination with Macowiack. With the way some Sox fans want him, you would think he was Vida Guerra. He's not that good of a player. In fact, he's an average player and a Timo for Rob M trade would be a lateral one.

So basically our 5,1,2,3 matchup with theirs. So basically both of the teams are going to have their best going out there. Great series. 6 straight games of baseball starting today. I love being out of school. And Sox fans better be there to outweigh Cub fans. That'd be the most embarassing thing that other team's fans have to fill our ballpark.

There better be fans there. No excuses.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ May 9, 2005 -> 11:46 AM) I believe the reason they didn't call him Pods while in Milwaukee is because the D is silent. I'm not positive on this, but I think his name is pronounced "Posednik", not "PoDsednik". If that is the case, we can always call the fans, "The POSSEdniks". :headshake As for bringing BACK Credes Crew...that reeks of bandwagon hopping, otherwise it never would have went away. Never went away. It's still here. Also, there's already Pauly's Posse.

I'd get Wagner and LaTroy as bullpen guys. That's it. I would really love Wagner though. That means we could send down Cotts to stretch him out and let him get his control down. LaTroy is all mental right now. Move him out of Wrigleyville and have him setup just like he did in Minny and he'll be great once again. Makes it even easier as we have his former baterry-mate.

Swizeep :uhoh

Leon can't cook without that dough bay-be!

I would like to see Frank in the field. I trust him more than Pauly at hitting.

There's already Pauly's Posse. So Pod Squad has to be it or it has to be something different. And Crede's Crew is here to stay.

I'm enjoying the team and I want fans at the game to enjoy it with me. I'm happy about this.

I say this is the best White Sox team in the first two months. Can't argue with production. We find ways to just win. We held a lead in every game. 1-5, I don't remember the Sox ever having a staff like this. Same with the bullpen. And when on, all of the Sox hitters have been deadly. I hate to see what happenes to other teams once we hit all cylinders.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ May 7, 2005 -> 02:02 PM) Try hitting against Satchel Paige........ freakin impossible. I actually did. My brother had him pitch and I rocked him for 8 runs.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 7, 2005 -> 01:12 PM) Ask and you shall recieve. HECK YEA!!! That was great. Now we need to win the world series.

I agree with this also. I rather him get schalacked by challenging hitters instead of going away and walking guys.

It isn't going to make us, but it sure as hell could break us. Guys need to break out of their slumps.

QUOTE(rangercal @ May 6, 2005 -> 11:38 PM) better than losses Well I'm talking purely about wins. I actually think he's been doing great and have been a supporter of him and El Duque because it seems like a lot of people won't cut them any slack.

Not with Contreras getting all these ND's.

I thought he would be way better than he was. Major underachiever. I don't mind a talker, but I mind someone who can't back it up.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ May 6, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) Yeah Dee's comments have me worried right now. He talked about how Duhon was a 2nd round pick and he's playing making 400K. Talked about 'enjoying his last days of school' I don't know where to go with this, but it doesn't sound like 99% coming back any more. Of course, this could just be his ego getting in his own way, i don't know. Stay tuned. Yeah, I saw him on Comcast SportsNet and they asked, "What do you have to say about the rumors of you being 99% sure you're coming back??" He said that if he was 99 percent sure, then he wouldnt be testing the waters and that he would comeback. Right now it sounds alot more like 40-60, favoring him going. I mean, without any help(I think Augustine is just not consistant enough to be a 2nd option), it's not going to help his status. Like I said, I think he's gone. Something just tells me that.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 6, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) lol Yep, I guess only about 3 people have them.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 6, 2005 -> 06:43 PM) Don't hold your breath on that one Andrew....Cowboys are way overrated, too many people act as if they made so many great moves. Parcell = OVER THE HILL. I think not. Cowboys are back this year. They addressed their needs through the draft and FA. Parcells still got it. He'll show you guys that this year.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ May 6, 2005 -> 06:40 PM) Contreras and Duque are going to give us headaches all year, get used to it i guess. It's just how they operate. Not very pleasant to watch. Meanwhile...this field is a joke. For only having to worry about the 4 bases and the mound (cuz the rest is just turf), this is foul. As i type this, Uribe slips getting out of the box. It's like ice. This is a f***ing joke. Buehrle has given us more of a ride than those two. I don't see why so many are down on them. What's the most runs either one gave the other team?? 4 I think it is and that was once by El Duque. Every other game has been 3 games or lower. Your guys expectations are crazy if you think that every guy should go 8 innings with only 1 or 2 runs scored every outing.

Ok after reading this thread, I would have to say, if a deal made sense, as Sox fans, you have to stop thinking about "Oh, why help the Cubs??" That's just stupid thinking. If the Cubs had Carlos Beltran and they wanted Aaron Rowand and Shingo, some stupid people in here would say no because the Cubs are the trading partner. You shouldn't act stupid like that. I could understand if they suggest a stupid trade, but not if it's Lee and Hawkins for a PK(who I don't think is a leader anymore than anyone else who has been here since 2001) I would think about. I think the leader is Ozzie Guillen in this locker room. In Manuel's I would say it was PK.
