QUOTE(toasty @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) if not, here comes mccarthy! I heard McCarthy hasn't looked good his past 2 outings.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) Now Marte is warming up, as they have a handful of righties coming up. I have absolutely no clue what game Ozzie is watching tonight now Apparently the wrong one. Maybe he's watching the Celts blow out the Pacers.

Time for a HR jack Mr. Crede.

He was throwing one of those dominate games against a bad hitting club that I was saying that Contreras would get his wins from. Hopefully all we have to do is skip his start and we'll be fine.

I'm guessing that Ozzie has yet to learn why you shouldn't put 1 inning pitchers in for 2 innings. He better hope we win this game.

NVM, C'mon Politte.

As long as we win and he doesn't miss a start I'm fine. Please don't blow it Cotts.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 05:41 PM) To bad he never catches the ball though. Too bad to be a YAC monster you have to catch the ball. Wait, does that mean those highlights were when they handed the ball off to him??? Stop crapping on the guy. He's making a transition(ala Boldin) and he'll be better than what we have at WR other than Mushin.

I don't know. Mel Kiper was really high on him.

Ran a 4.42 so I guess he'll team up with Berrian to be our burners.

Mark Bradley, welcome to the Bears. Mel Kiper Jr. says he thinks it's one of the best picks of the draft and says he's better than Mark Clayton after the catch. Says he's a playmaker. Sounds like a great pick.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) Here's a better comparison so people defending Rowand so quickly. Scott Pod one good season going into 05. Rowand one good season going into 05. Yet people loved Rowand and thought Scott Pod would blow. I'm just saying that people are all over Rowand a little too easily. Exactly. I know lots of people hated the Pod trade and thought we got shafted. I agree elrockinMT as well. One shouldn't have been made for Crede either considering he was using a new swing. Some people are too quick too talk horribly about a guy and praise another.

I say Parrish would be good, but any fast WR would be good for this team. Who knows though, since they don't have a 3rd this year, they might take Nugent considering that Edinger has digressed each year since 2001.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) You need to understand the Mendoza line first. It is someone's batting average over the course of the whole season and actually the batting average history of a guys career. Many players get off to bad starts and rebound. Rowand is one of these and in my opinion you are way off base with your characterization. Please retract it and say you are sorry. Then why was one made for Crede???

Well I think Mike Williams would've been more useful than Benson who's going to be at most splitting time with Jones until the end of the season. Unless you're dumping Jones, then Benson doesn't make as much sense as Williams. Hopefully Jones is dumped and Turner uses his guy the whole season. Anyone have any ideas on who we pick 2nd round?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) If we had 9 Aaron Rowands right now we would be 0-17 , Yes he works his ass off and that big season he had a good last year but he is not the most talented individual out there but I hope he can pull it up to .280ish as the season progresses. What he said.

I had this in another thread already, but oh well. Anyway, Brantley made it seem as if all of our success is just pure luck. I don't mind if a guy doesn't pick us, but to think that all of our wins have been lucky is just stupid.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 08:57 AM) I couldn't give a damn what he says. In fact when I woke up Friday and flicked on Comcast and saw all his bleeps I started laughing my balls off. Even Mike Wilbon who is a devout Cubs fan said he wished he had Ozzie on the northside over the overrated Dusty Baker and him and Kornheiser laughed at all the bleeps. Lots of people would rather have Ozzie because of his attitude. He calls it the way he sees it.

Yes it would be.

Well Larry Bowa predicted us to win the Wild Card, but Jeff Brantley said that we have no chance of that pitching continuing.

I have no problem with it. The thing about Frank was a little overboard, but the rest he's spoken was good and shows that he's aware unlike some of the managers around here prior to him.

QUOTE(mrzo2733 @ Apr 23, 2005 -> 01:44 AM) Give the man a full month before ripping him. I think he has earned it. As far as I'm concerned, I will never ever say anything bad about AR. He has been my fav player on the Sox since he crashed into the wall making a catch twice within like a week back like 4 years ago. I've been on the bandwagon from the beginning and I'll go down with the ship if need be (even though that wont be necessary). The fact that you say you'll never say anything bad about Rowand just means that you won't admit when he's doing bad. Also, were there many threads about Rowand last year?? I don't know because I wasn't here, but I would guess not. Maybe, just maybe, Crede is having a breakout year similar to Adrian Beltre. I forgot though, half of this board is one big Anti-Crede Propaganda and 80% is Pro-Rowand Propaganda. It seems that there are rules against calling certain favorites out.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 22, 2005 -> 10:32 PM) That is 2.9% of the money he made this year wo0t. People who make he makes per year give that same percentage. Other peopel donate far more money than he did and no one makes as big of a deal as this. I may just be looking at this the wrong way because of how his personality is. Exactly. If it was the money he was getting from the Nets, then I would say it's a big deal, but it's not that much to him at all. Jordan gave more than him(all his last contract which was 3 million). Zo is a big dickhead. I used to not want to think so, but man, watching him play has opened my eyes.

I want the Bears to take BMW, they'll end up taking either Benson or Brown though.
