I was also in left field, I felt the same way last night, not to mention the constant throwing of peanuts at the twins fans behind me. Half of the s*** that was thrown hit me. There is a way to be competetive without being an asshole. I guess this might just be a huge problem on half price night.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 06:52 AM) Yesterday when I went over to souvenier booths I noticed the main jerseys being featured were Pods, Rowand, Kong, and Mark B . Umm they are all white. It seems that our image since 2001 has been diverse, have been Frank (well duh) , CLee, Maggs, and Marky. Is this a coincidence. Or am I just over anaylyzing? It does not matter to me(mainly cause I am white). It was just an observation. I was just bringing it up because do you guys think it could effect our minority fanbase? Do you guys think Frank is still the face of the sox? All I saw were shingo t-shirts

IM going tonite!!! section 160 row 1. Free tix are the best tix. Just so everyone knows there are still 100 section and Club level available for 15 and 20 dollars. Ticketmaster has them so you can print them off

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 03:40 PM) For what reason and what do you expect in return for him? He is almost 37 years old and coming back from a pretty serious injury. He has great career stats, but not so great lately. You would never get anything in return for him. Plus there really isn't any reason to trade him. What else do we need at the moment? Would the small piece of the puzzle that you would receive for Frank be more beneficial than wasting one player on the bench. Frank is an OBP machine, and will get on base for someone. Is it going to be us? I dont know. Im not saying im in favor of getting rid of Frank, but considering that many people on this board feel that we are wasting a player by having either Carl or Frank sit, what can we do with them?

I just want to throw this out there, it doesnt sound great to me at all, but maybe there could be a possibility of trading Frank.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 02:19 PM) Everett played CF for us not to long ago and i remember he didnt do that bad of a job really.... So he should be fine in one of the corner OF spots especially since he is in great shape... That cleveland game was prob just a fluke accident. He isnt that bad of a fielder, which is exactly why Jermaine Dye will take a seat for many a game when frank gets back. BUt I envision a 4 man rotation in the OF

I dont think its much of a mystery that Ozzie was saving him for this series.

The twins know that contreras is going to lean on his fastball early in the game. I see them jumping all over him in the first inning as he gets knocked around then walks several as he goes to his fork. I see an early exit for Mr contreras tonight

im in Lincoln park mine works fine.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 05:58 PM) That's kind of my feeling, too, wuf. I feel that if a kid is ready to pitch in the big leagues, you gotta bring him up, regardless of age. If he keeps dominating (as he's started off) through 50-75 IP, is there really any reason (other than starting the arbitration clock?) to not bring him up? Then again, thinking about it a little more, they probably want to wait till after June, because I think you get an extra half a year as far as arbitration is concerned. Exactly the debate that has been raging on about BMAC for the past year or so.....

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 08:39 PM) trade crede for a rod. Trade Crede for Jose Valentin, i heard he hits well.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 07:33 AM) The problem is that they don't know what, or if, there is a heart condition. I think he'll get the max.. just in case his ticker issue is a false alarm. not many false alarms warrant talk of surgery and make a player skip the rest of a season. This will definatley deter others from pursuing him.

wow guys, we lost 1 game and still won the series. I will take 2 out of 3 all season long.

Vegas has us picked to lose today. Over/under is set at 9.5

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) Yep. They were selling for 10 bucks at Lids in 2003, I think... I picked one up but it's fitting kinda tight now... Edit: Oh, I thought you did mean the 1917 hat. Poor attention to detail on my part. Disregard that. I've seen that post somewhere else.

I love him as well. But I still think he needs a shorter bat to catch up to fast balls

Curry is nothing but an essential player for the bulls. I think the management is paying the doctors off to sign curry for a cheaper contract this offseason and a serious push for the next few seasons. WE NEED TO RESIGN these guys

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) That's bulls*** to dismiss it as a trivial act. I'm not saying they aren't wealthy but people always forget to add in several factors. One is that their salary is pre tax. Carl doesn't make 4 million a year, he makes less by a significant percentage. Two, is the expense of life on the road. Clothes and food etc, surely gets very expensive. That's not to mention having to buy suits and food for younger players who make nothing. Lastly, every time they step into a bar or restaurant they are being judged on the tip. I forgot to mention that their career lifespan ends thrity years before yours and mine. I'm not saying that Carl can't afford to pick up the tab, but to minimize it is ingorant and wrong. Wow someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I guess that 3 million after tax doesnt seem like that much.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) Mmm I love Gio. My favorite prospect. Great to see him doing good. Mine as well, guy got a bad wrap becuase of his family. Good steal by the org

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 08:59 AM) Add DH into that rotation, and each guy plays 80% of the time. Precisely my thoughts. Frank is going to need rest from time to time for his ankle and so that he actually plays going into the end of the year. Rotation is the best way to not only keep us fresh but to play off the other teams lineup. Scott skiles does this for the bulls and I believe depth is underrated in terms of team strength.

In the beginning of the season pitching is usually ahead of the hitters. I expect our offense to improve and our starting pitching to have a few more hiccups.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Apr 14, 2005 -> 08:53 AM) Is Konerko definately sitting? I heard that he may DH, with Gload at first, and Everett in LF. Maybe it was speculation I read. I know Ozzie said he wanted to give Gload a start, so I figure he will sit down Carl or Konerko and put timo in LF
