I'm going to be there Friday and Monday for sure, and probably one of the games Tues or Weds.

That's not a fair comparison at all to compare al pitchers with nl pitchers. Actually by the numbers you gave I think you've proved that the sox trio would be better then the cubs trio. However if you add a healthy prior some where into that flubs trio then the flubs is better.

If your talking about right now I have no idea how you could put unc number 2, it's more like number 3434353036830.

This could be wrong but off the top of my head against those teams the Sox records are: Anaheim 3-3 Haven't played Boston Twins 7-3 Yanks 3-4 Oakland 1-5 Colliseum :fyou Texas 3-2

Agreed.

Yeah, he looked pretty bad up here earlier in the season. It would be awesome to have last years Kelly Wunsch back but at this point I think that's unrealistic.

His problem isn't that the league has caught up with his cutter, his problem has been that his location has been god awful.

Very well said. I agree with everything you said and it's definitely bulls*** that strikeout pitchers are better then groundball pitchers, like yoda said, outs are outs.

Good point. I'm not saying picking the royals was smart because it obviously wasn't but they seemed to be the sexy pick in this division, most "experts" were picking the royals, for what reason, I have no idea.

Maybe he can make Mike Jackson disappear.

I agree with that. But a lot of people were picking kc because everyone seemed to think they had the best offseason out of any team in the division.

I agree with you Rex. I don't think predictions is the best way to determine if someone knows baseball or not, it's really an unpredictable sport, I mean how many people had the astros winning the nl central, I did. I also had the Angels winning the world series.

Obviously Crede hasn't been great but we don't need to upgrade 3rd base. Kenny needs to look for more pitching and then after that a catcher. Crede will be fine and we all know what kind of defensive 3rd basemen he is. Right now with Everett and Maggs in the lineup at the same time, this lineup has become incredibly deep. Crede will be batting 8th with the catching trio 9th, outside of that, this lineup is very deep and with Maggs and Carl in the lineup together they've scored in double digits both games, obviously that isn't going to keep up but I believe they'll be a much more consistant lineup with Carl and Maggs in there together.

I feel like an idiot for picking the royals to finish 3rd in the division.

Buehrle is 5th or 6th in the al in strikeouts so he does strikeout quite a few this year.

Harold Reynolds always ends up jumping on the sox bandwagon. I remember last year in August he was asked who the best team was in the american league and he said he thought the White Sox were, so this isn't much of a surprise to me, even though he predicted us to finish 4th in the division.

Please forward that to futureexpos.com.

Thanks, I'll take Mich state, I think I should have everything set up by saturday or sunday.

I hope Kenny is around for a long, long time.

I'd love to get Jason Kendall but I don't think we need a number 1 catcher. Sandy is still a solid hitting catcher but like you said there's no way he can handle playing 4 days a week. Burke and Davis are bad but atleast they both call good games and can handle a pitching staff. However I agree with you on the bullpen, I'm fine having cotts in the pen to take on a lefty and I'm fine with Adkins being the mop up guy but Mike Jackson needs to be replaced. I think getting another reliever should be the number one goal for this club but another starting pitcher would also be very helpful. I don't want to look forward to the playoffs since we all know it's far from a lock that we get there but if we do get in there would you want to throw Garland or Loaiza out there in game 3? If esteban turns it around and becomes some what dependable we're set but if he doesn't I think we might be in some trouble.

I disagree with you ss. If esteban comes back and show he's capable of atleast being a number 3 starter then another starting pitcher wouldn't even be needed but right now I'm very worried about Esteban and if he can't get back to atleast be a solid pitcher then another starting pitcher might be needed.

Yup that's what has been said. They aren't going to get it though, I believe Bensons price tag will come way down close to the deadline. I'd love to get Benson he's been great lately.

Nice sig, heads.
