QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) Pods just got off the DL yesterday and spent the entire day running around. I didn't expect him in the lineup today. Everett is hitting .249 vs RHP this year and has played in 10 straight games, not to mention both games of a DH yesterday. Iguchi hasn't looked right latley, he looks worn down, even with all the days off he's gotten. He's been particularly bad in the field. Are you stealing signs again. Way to totally steal my thunder and opportunity at a comeback. But yeah, what he said.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 12:56 PM) Eh.. boss just told me I might have to go to the Cubs game with the LaSalle people.. :puke I hate when that happens.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 12:54 PM) I personally like today's lineup. Just trying to be different. I actually do too. Looking at it more and more, I like it. Who are we missing that everyone is so bent out of shape about?

you gotta love the lead off man of the future Owens, 24, has been the catalyst for the Barons offense all season long from the leadoff spot. He currently leads the Southern League in several offensive categories including hitting (.337), hits (169) and runs scored (95).

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 12:36 PM) Here is the only glimmer of hope. Farmio just said he thinks that KW is looking for a guy who isnt a front line player, but is just a hair less than that, who can bat lefty or switch hit and can play 2nd or 3rd. Sounds similiar to the type of player that Walker is(outside of the 3rd base which is speculation) theres no doubt he would fit the team. But the question is, can the deal get done, and will Cle step up and try to offer more than us.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) His bat is very nice. Line drive swing, doesnt strike out a a large clip. And he is lefty. Whats not to like. I will tell you whats not to like. The fact that this trade has about a 1 percent chance of happening. And I refuse to get all jacked up about another trade that levine proposes.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 12:12 PM) I'd absolutely love Walker, he's a very good hitter. There's a few things though: 1. Levine is saying this so it won't happen, 2. Oh boy, here we go, WHERE WOULD HE PLAY. Honestly, I know he can give Tad a rest every now and then but Walker really would be one of our best hitters we'd have to find somewhere for him to play and there really isn't a place to put him. 3B? He is not great there, but couldnt be as bad as Blum has been lately. DH, especially against RHP, Carl is Brutal LH this season. 2B fill in, for sure this is where he will get some time as well.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:54 AM) Yeah you can say that....STH here. PM me if you want info on river north...love to help. Welcome to Soxtalk its great to have another STH on the board.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) River North in beautiful Chitown...when not at jimbo's drinking PBR's Nice, im in Lincoln Park, River north is tha s***, I have been looking at buying there in the spring. You go to many games?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:48 AM) soxtalk, where teamwork is the groundwork.

done, nice work.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:44 AM) Who is Jim?? Inside jokes on the computer is horrid. thats his post name, never mind. Where are you located Jimbo?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:41 AM) You have to realize who made it. The king of misspelled words... I prefer "the czar of misspelled words" but yeah, extremely true. At least there were no real grammar errors for once.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:33 AM) The Sox offered him the biggest contract in team history and he turned it down. The deal was in Bartolo's hands and he said no. Oh, I know that we tried, and Im not blaming the sox. I just wish we still had him. Would it have been possibly to have a rotation of Bartolo, Freddy, MB, Garland. Makes you wonder.....

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:39 AM) With the exception that it should be "formerly," not "formally." it works either way, but I didnt make it, so I will place blame on not me.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:33 AM) Sorry I am just being that guy. Hey Jim, this guy is trying to take your title.

You know what, I realyl hated Jon Rauch for some reason. The guy always seem to have a s***ty attitude.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) It would help your wallet out Im a team player, just want to get some real fans in here. And every transaction I have had with people on this site has been great.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 10:11 AM) by the way, that Griffeytalk banner is f***ing brilliant i cant take credit for making it, but I WILL take credit for showcasing it.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:24 AM) If they are season tickets..you can use the sox ticket exchange. yeah, but how would that benefit the soxtalk community?

I will tell you what. Bartolo is a freak. He is pitching into the 10th and still throwing 96 mph, thats unbelieveable. The guy is a horse, and I really wish we would have held on to him.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 11:16 AM) A website called White Sox Interactive usually posts predictions of 'Tomorrow's Tribune Headline' and quotes from people below their pictures. Not something which is left to WSI alone, but since you were a new member, I thought you may have been banned from there. Even if you were, as many here were, Soxtalk accepts refugees. I post sometimes over at WSI, but I find the format hard to use anyway, so whats the use?

It makes me so happy when Bruce Levine can single handedly ruin the working lives of at least 50 soxtalk posters with every rumor. Now we all have to sit, deliberate, argue and wait. FU Bruce Levine!!!!

come on, nobody wants the tigers/sox game this sunday?

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 31, 2005 -> 10:58 AM) You really like my ass...I try so hard to impress. As long as its not your giant troll hands Bruuuuuce.
