QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 05:11 PM) Just for the record, Brian Anderson is now hitting .264 since June 11th. Oh s***, he's on fire!

QUOTE(shoota @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 05:42 PM) f*** career averages. Answer me this: What do you see in Freddy Garcia, Javier Vazquez and Jon Garland that makes you think they're 3/5 of a 2006 Championship caliber team? Just choose the hottest 2 of those 3 at the end of the year to start in the playoffs... Holy f***, do some of you really think assembling the perfect team is even feasible??? THIS IS A CHAMPIONSHIP-CALIBER TEAM AS IS!!! Kenny will bolster it as much as possible within reason for the stretch run before the deadline. Let's just get to the playoffs, best record in baseball or not, and see what happens. I have plenty of faith in this team....

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 09:58 PM) in addition and completely off the subject, buehrle has no right to go to the all star game and I would much rather see liriano or schilling in there. Hell if I were buerhle I would make up some injury and get out of it. For the last time...THE ALL-STAR GAME IS NOT ABOUT THE BEST AND MOST DESERVING PLAYERS MAKING IT!!!!!!

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:23 PM) thome, pk, dye, yea they just proved that this inning. ortiz,manny, nixon wouldnt have wasted these opp.'s

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:21 PM) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ do they ever come up big when we TRULY NEED THEM? Nope. This is the most unclutch team ever!!!

Be vocal. Orchestrate your D.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:10 PM) Boston's starters are #10 in the AL in ERA, CHW's starters are #4. Boston's Bullpen is #6 and we're #7 in ERA. Boston's offense is #3 in the AL, we're #1. Stop bringing logic into the argument...

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:09 PM) How do our starters get better, people? How does Garcia get his velocity back? How does Vazquez stop making the mistakes he's made his entire career? How do Buehrle and Garland stop being completely inconsistent? It's about time we accept the fact that we'll have to slug our way into and through the playoffs if we hope to get to where we did last year. Nobody is denying that the starting pitching has been subpar, but it's incredibably ridiculous to absolutely give up on them with no hope that they can turn it back around, especially given their track records. Have a little f***in' faith. Bases loaded. Thome.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:08 PM) I think hitting is about the same, their starters are better, and bullpens are about same. I would give them the edge. lol...

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Jul 6, 2006 -> 10:34 PM) Is she old enough for me to be thinking what I am thinking?? ;-) I think I remember seeing her before on a late-night show, and I recall her being underage at the time, but it might have been a couple of years or so ago... Definitely a hot girl though...

It will NEVER be about the most deserving players making it as long as each team is forced to have a representative... JUST VOTE FOR AJ!!!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) Wait, they have a limit on how many times you can vote with an email? It hasn't told me once. I'm assuming it's 25 just to be safe...anybody know?..

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 02:53 PM) I vote for Fransico Lriano once, and than AJ 5. Lriano than AJ. AJ makes it- cool another Sox player gets in Lriano makes it - the AL gets the games hottest pitcher to win the game. :headshake Anyways, I ran out of e-mails so I'm using e-mails from buddies who are cubs, yanks, and boston fans...Hope they enjoy the MLB promotional e-mails they'll be getting...

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 12:40 PM) s*** GUYS! AJ is in second! My thoughts exactly...didn't think he'd even be a close 2nd...time to go vote...

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Jul 5, 2006 -> 12:02 PM) BA is on the verge of a hitting streak. He had nowhere to go but up, but let's not get crazy here either...

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jul 4, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) Does anyone in this thread follow the gaming world? Well, judging from the posts in this thread, it seems many of us do. QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jul 4, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) The PS3 is being released at 2 prices: $499 and $599, and if you think one hundred extra dollars is bad, just take a look back at the success Sony and Playstation have previously had. The price scheme is a gimmick, just like where they ripped off the idea from, the 360. Those who follow gaming know that either stripped-down, lower-priced version aren't worth it. It's meant more for parents and uninformed buyers who won't know what they're getting and will go with the cheaper buy. Anyways, 600 bucks is way too much for a gaming system for me and lots of others, and my guess is that many casual gamers will be turned off by the price. QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jul 4, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) Are you kidding me? In 1997 Final Fantasy 7 cost $75 dollars when it first hit the shelves. This is nothing new by any means. Sure, that's true for back then, but recently companies had been striving to keep all new releases at the same $50 dollar price point, and 60 bucks for the next generation seems like the next logical step. 80 bucks for a game would be wayy too much, in my opinion. QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jul 4, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) All and all, the PS3, from the looks of it, will easily be the best buy in the newest generation of video games just as the PS2 was. Not to mention they are already prepared to actually have systems in stores. There's really no way of knowing that. Hope you're not a ps fanboy. I would have thought the same if not for seeing Nintendo once again dominate the handheld market when many were predicting that the psp, which has way more power and technology, would finally be the one to topple Game Boy. None of the 3 really wow me or seem like the clear-cut favorite so it'll be interesting to see who wins out. It's easy to say that ps3 will continue their current dominance, but so far it hasn't been all that impressive (funny you should mention the changes to the controller when it's clearly a blatant rip-off of Nintendo), and the price is just way too high for my tastes and the tastes of many others.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jul 4, 2006 -> 11:29 PM) Half Baked isn't funny either. Haven't seen it in years, but I liked it. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jul 4, 2006 -> 11:29 PM) No "Major League," "Blazing Saddles," or I'm gonna git U sucka" = bulls***. blazing saddles is 9.

This list is terrible...

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 09:49 PM) Wtf is so hard about not reading a thread called "White Sox may be in trouble" if seeing anything negative makes you fly off the handle? You talk about open discussion, but the whole point of all these tired chicken little posts is to just kill any discussion. It is pushing the site in a direction that a lot of posters don't want to go, cuz we've seen it elsewhere. lol ok...So now the site is in doom too... And if your posts have valid, credible information to back up your opinions than the "chicken little" posts aren't meant for you. Rather, it's for those already predicting us getting our asses kicked in the playoffs because there is no possible way that any of our starters will ever show any signs of improvement again...

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 09:45 PM) 5.60, 5.15, 4.72 No exaggeration necessary Because that's exactly what I was talking about... But since you bring it up, yes, I do think that the way you put it is an overexaggeration:

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 07:49 PM) I can't tell if you're joking or not, so... No, and that's a pretty ridiculous way to summarize what I've been saying. What gets tired is not disagreement, but posting chicken little pics and stating how many games over .500 we are and telling people to stop being in the least bit negative about anything, for any reason, just b/c 'I'm tired of it.' It's often been said here -- if you don't want to read it, DON'T. There's no reason to post when you have nothing relevant to say, just to threadcrap. People aren't even paying attention to the post at all, they're just saying, 'Oh, it's negative, and I read something negative in the gamethread and that upset me so stfu.' That's a joke. So you're tired of your posts being lumped with the rest of the overly-negative s*** yet you're generalizing the way that people are responding...I've read some of the responses too and a lot of them have been valid reasoning for being optimistic and not just "I'm tired of it so stfu"... There's just so many more reasons to be optimistic with this team and I agree with a lot of the other sentiments that have been expressed in terms of wanting to just enjoy this team instead of always fearing the absolute worst and way over-exaggerating the bad. It's sad that some are already predicting playoff failure at this point in the season when it's clear that the team is in a good position yet wayy too early to make playoff predictions. And the majority seems to agree. (But this isn't all directed to you nor am I trying to call you out or anything) Anyways, it's a message board. If you post something on this type of forum, it's meant to be openly discussed, within the accepted parameters. Personally, it seems like some people like to make ridiculous, reactionary, negative doomsday predictions just so they can say "I told you so" if it happens. Sad to me. I'd rather just sit back and enjoy the ride...
