QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) Ha, I'm sure being a left-handed pitcher makes you more qualified to call a balk over an umpire I'm not saying you're wrong, but that wasn't a very good argument. And can the both of you start using better comebacks instead of "little girl" and "little man" in this thread? These are some cheesy comebacks and you sound like little kids. Use some curses and spice this argument up. Be a man! you are a little girl!

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) thank you you are welcome. Alot of short sighted people on the site today.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 02:25 PM) What games have you been watching? When was the last time Mark dominated a game like an ace is supposed to? Didn't I say 'if this trend continues'? Lets face it, Mark hasn't been all that good lately. You better check what you're smoking little man. I'll nominate you worst member of Soxtalk. MB-13-6 3.07 FG- 11-5 3.65 JG- 16-7 3.43 JC- 8-7 4.08 OH- 8-6 4.75 How do those numbers make you not want mark in the playoff rotation? :headshake

QUOTE(rangercal @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 02:19 PM) I am trying my best. we need to get this done. I would love to see what espn would have to say if we won the vote. It would be great! we are relying on the previous ballot-box stuffers to win this one!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 04:58 AM) Detroit will give him a 4 year $50M deal come the off-season. and he will re-injure his arm and become another detroit bust.

QUOTE(lord chas @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 01:20 PM) why would anyone want kevin walker back batting practice pitcher?

I think he is starting to really turn around. His whole approach to hitters is that of confidence. If you look at his performances of late compared to when we first got him it is night and day. His pitch sequence, his arm slot, even his mechanics are completely different. His fastball has more movement on it and he can throw it in any count. He has started to pitch and not just throw. i think he can turn the corner and be the top of the rotation guy everyone thought he could be. Of course I could be wrong...

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 11:41 AM) I have to admit. I enjoyed watching the Yankees from 96-2000. They were an actual team then. entirely different from what they are now. They should take the emergence of Cano as a sign that buying high-priced free agents is not the best way to build a team.

every question has to do with cubs, because thats all ESPN equates with chicago and IL. WE need to change that asap

im voting like crazy. I want nothing more than to have national TV see that we are more popular than the cubs, come on people!!!

please vote early and often people, f*** the cubs and their stupid ass fans

so.....are we getting griffey?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) No doubt about it IMO. Its sort of strange then how the cubs/sox rivaly has overcome this fact. I cant wait for football, I love the sox more than anything. But I KNOW, when the bears play, its all Bears, and thats it.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 10:26 AM) He was on the field during BP on Friday and had nothing but nice things to say about the Sox. Nice to hear someone of his talent thinking we can make it out of round 1. Those yankee teams that were winning titles had a couple of guys that developed together in the minor leagues. All were class acts and all had large hearts. This is why they won titles, not their enormous payroll. Some day Steinbrenner will realize that.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Aug 22, 2005 -> 10:30 AM) Washburn would be the best FA pitcher out there (except for arguably Beckett). I think that we would trade a starter (like Contreras) in a deal for a bat. It makes sense, but only if you stretch it a bit. No offense, but I dont know if I want to deal contreras anymore, the guy has shown that he can put it together and straight out dominate other teams. I would like to give the guy another year.

theres no doubt in my mind that the bears should win that poll. This town LOVES the bears.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) I think there is a real difference between sharing a trade rumor, a rumor about a guy being signed as a free agent, or a guy getting promoted from AA to AAA than to say someone has tested positive for steroids - a fact that, as far as I know, is about as tightly guarded a secret there is in MLB. The same would be true if someone was spreading a rumor that someone was using cocaine, has beaten their girlfriend, etc. And, as the owner of this site, you should know that you might have some legal exposure as well for allowing those types of rumor to be spread. you are aware that this is a public message board right?? Maybe you are lost....

Wow, looks like they just threw a team name up there. We dont need him and wouldnt go after him. Nice try roto.

Paul O'Neil is a player that the current yankees should look at as why they were winning titles.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 21, 2005 -> 05:58 PM) The 40-man roster is full, if you're not on it already, you're not getting called up. Im kinda mad I didnt see that you said this sooner. All the reasons below are why this can happen.

come on people.

I think they are going to take a chance on Young or Owens.

thank god that is over. I couldnt handle that anymore.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 05:14 PM) I'm not sold on Owens yet. His steal numbers are not that great and he plays in a huge park which is great for slap hitters. His BA, OBP, looks pretty nice to me, the steals will come. PODS didnt start swiping at his age.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 03:47 PM) Young is gonna kick some serious ass in the future. so is Owens. He is going to be a nice lead off guy some day.
