QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 09:04 AM) I hope they don't trade Garland. This is the best Starting Rotation I have seen since the Braves days. Let's win another World Series and worry about Garland after 2006. McCarthy is ready...and could end up being our best starter. I truly believe that. His last few games of last year were awesome. So he needs to play. We need to use him while we have him.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 09:02 AM) Wow, what a response, if some of these posters had as many brains as pimples I'd be concerned. The last team to repeat was the 2000 New York Yankees. They changed the 5th starter, everyone else who played a lot was back. They also won in 1998 with the same group but had not added Clemens yet so David Wells was there. The 2002 Angels stood pat and didn't repeat , but they went through injuries that would sink anybody. So I don't buy that a Championship team absolutely must make massive changes to repeat. We will never know if the 2005 group was good enough to repeat. The 2006 team might be as good or better but it is a different team. I especially don't like bringing in Vazquez who I think is overrated and overhyped. I don't see where the innings to replace Marte and Vizcaino's situations are going to come from. I'm saddened by all this, and I question KW's wisdom. Maybe you should join the North Side of town. They like un-knowing fans. Come on man. You really think the exact same team could do it again? They had a lot of things go their way. They offense was bad and needed an upgrade. We got Thome, but lost Rowand. Ok, Rowand's bat was not too great. His D was good, but Brian Anderson will be able to do it. Kenny wouldn't have made the trade if he felt any different. Prospects need to be played or traded. That's what we are doing. And El Duque sucked last year, when he pitched. I'm starting to think you need to take your medication. And FYI, I took mine.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 10:29 PM) One more point and I'll shut up. Javier Vazquez was 11-15 with a 4.52 ERA in the NL. Orlando Hernandez was 9-9 with a 5.12 ERA in the AL. Qualitatively that’s probably a slight edge for El Duke. I can't argue when you thow in the innings diference (216 V 128) but on any given day, I don't see much better chance of winning with Vazquez than with El Duke. Vazquez has the big name and big reputation but the couple times I saw him on TV last year he got lit up. Now I will drink my milk, take my pill and go to sleep. If this wasn't a place for Sox die-hards/fans to get together, I would personally attack you. I would call you a Grade A Moron, or Stupidity Poopidy head. But I won't do those things. All Kenny has done is make this team better. he is also securing us for a run at this in the next 2-3 years. If guys like Garland don't want to be on-board for the ride, then don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. We are moving forward. I loved my 2005 White Sox and will never forget them. But I want to love my 2006 White Sox, and so far, I think I will.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 11:49 PM) While it angers me a little bit that Duque left, I just remembered his forays as a starter earlier last season. If I wanted to see four balls that often, I'd be out renting XXX gay porn. It was already said, but this was awesome. I got a great visual. And I completely agree. I went to a couple games last year that he pitched and it was unbearable. First inning, bases loaded. Walks, full counts...it was horrible. I'm so glad they were able to get something for him. I enjoyed his playoff performances and will always remember him. I say good luck to you El Duque.

I don't McCArthy coming out of the bullpen...that boy is ready. Garland's going I think. Kenny will figure it out...he's got a plan.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 01:10 PM) Too early for jokes? I once hit a guy in the face with spaghetti and an Italian dude ate him. Its no laughing matter. Sorry, that was dumb.

You lower level options are dwindling daily.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) We are talking about a pitcher we didn't want, the last right hander out of our pen, and a good prospect with an ETA of 2007 who plays a position that we have 3 other legitimate prospects, 2 knocking on the majors door, that we traded. Hernandez was worthless to us, Vizcaino is easily replacable. Young is the only one who MIGHT hurt, and that won't be for a while. Yes this deal is a winner for the Sox. CAn't be summed up much better than this.

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) BTW, has anyone stopped to think this trade doesn't make sense. All indications are that KW will ship out Garland or Contreras if he feels they won't sign an extension. Thus, it would make a lot more sense that Garland will get traded to a team. I can't see the Sox giving up McCarthy.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 10:17 AM) Okay, I can understand people not wanting to trade away McCarthy but worrying about Uribe when you are getting Tejada? No offence but that's ridiculous. Agreed, having Tejada versus Uribe is a no-brainer. I'm worried about trading McCarthy, because I think he could be an f'ing stud. We could especially use him if we might lose Garland or Contreras next year.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 09:35 AM) Levine is full of s***. Pretty simple, no way in hell this happens I don't want Tejada...especially if McCarthy is going...I want Carl Crawford!

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 08:56 AM) Hey, when you finally get to sit on the throne, you better act like a f***ing king. Wow, what a quote! We are the f***ing kings! Has a nice ring to it.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 08:33 AM) Would TB do it in Garlands walk year? Ok, maybe we trade someone else...I don't know. I'm giddy with excitement though.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 08:25 AM) Boys, the aquisition of Javier Vazquez is a nice move. We gave up jack s*** to get him (though Chris Young will be a nice talent). Now, this begs the question, what happens with B-Mac. This kid is ready to start at the major league level, so... I believe there is another deal going down, and I think either Freddy Garcia, Jon Garland, or Jose Contreras will be dealt and we will get a CF back. Not only that, but I think that center fielder is Carl Crawford. This is pure speculation, but it seems quite possible now. You read my mind. I was just starting to think this. If we could get Carl Crawford, for Garland...that would rock.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 09:04 AM) I think Vazquez said that he wanted to pitch for a team closer to the east coast, not necessarily an east coast team. Exactly what he said.

I don't want to see Jon go, but this makes sense. If the Sox can't sign him, get a guy for two years. I'm not 100% convinced that Jon has turned the corner. We saw glimpses of 'old jon' later last season.

And it doesn't say who the guests will be. Maybe they are working on that. I wouldn't expect too much. Its christmas time and none of these players live here, except for Cotts. So maybe he'll be there.

Its this thursday...AM1000 event... Linky

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 03:08 AM) Im not as high on Pieryznski as a lot of people here seem to be.... But hey give him a 3 year contract and by that time either Hernandez will be ready if he ever is going to be or we can resign him again depending on the situation. I don't understand why...he was one of the new players brought in that got us a World Series Ring. He is a gamer, who is great at handling a pitching staff. He adds a lefty bat, with a little power. He should hit better next year. And he is a clubhouse leader. What's the problem? Ok, is isn't the greatest at throwing guys out.

Borchard should be -25.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) bah, you guys need to take a page from the North East. 8 inches and no delays:) Isn't that because everyone is in buggies, on the side of the road? And which dork are you on that website?

I just had lunch, so right now I feel like Bluto Blutarkski...bloated.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 12:45 PM) We got the same snowstorm you guys did. Yeah, but people here refuse to stop procreating, so we are overpopulated. Seriously, if you would have seen this s*** here, with all the cars, it was unreal. Everywhere you went was a parking lot.
