Milkman delivers

I f***ing love Iguchi. Oh man, I love that guy.

Alright, maybe Pods can get that SB now.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 31, 2005 -> 07:11 PM) He's only 8 behind Pods now. When the hell's the last time Pods stole a base? 1 out.

1-0. That was quick. That's how you play smallball. I wish we knew how to do that.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 31, 2005 -> 07:09 PM) Do leadoff walks in the first inning make anyone else hear ominous music in the back of their minds? Freddy Garcia pitching at home at night alone makes me hear that music. And there's the steal.

Leadoff walk...perfect. :banghead

The last 10 pages of this thread are hilarious.

Is he hurt? I mean, wouldn't some team have shows some interest in him at all?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 31, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) Which is sexier thongs or those 'cheeky' panties? I think thongs are the sexiest things a girl can wear. Comfortable, too

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) Nope, you would disrupt the clubhouse chemistry. Aww cmon, I'll almost play for free.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 31, 2005 -> 04:03 PM) So you would be hated too because you would be in the same situation as crede. I was referring to the people that defend Crede based mainly on his defense. I, on the other hand, would hate me.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 31, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) I bet you he can hit better than Cruddy drunk, blindfolded and with a wiffle ball bat. I doubt it, I was never a good hitter. I was a damn good fielder, though. A lot of posters on this board would love me.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 31, 2005 -> 03:56 PM) He is from Oak Lawn, Illinois. He went to South Suburban Junior College. He was indeed a Sox fan growing up. He also apparently likes to drink. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=6725 Ha, I saw that article, too. Oh well, I bet he's still a better player when he's drunk than Crede will ever be. It worked for David Wells.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 31, 2005 -> 03:49 PM) See the above post about Mackowiak. He will be tough to pry from Pittsburgh but a guy like that is the "type" they might decide they need. Mackowiak has had the lights turn on for him this year at the plate, he's become much more selective and is driving pitches very well, with little help in that Pirate lineup. He is the type of guy who can give Crede a break from tough RH pitchers too, plus play some other positions. That's what I mean, a solid bat, a guy who can step in easily if something happens but wouldn't negatively affect the chemistry by swapping out a position player. I strongly sense that's what they are thinking right now. As you suggest, closer to the trade deadline they could very well be thinking differently ... things change. I believe he's also from the Chicagoland area and might even have been a Sox fan growing up.

QUOTE(Wedge @ May 31, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) The most likely upgrade I foresee is a SS/3B utility type like Polanco. I think he's the best bet. I'd also be happy if we got Mackowiak from the Pirates. I think he could add a lot to this team. I'm not sure if he can do SS/3B, but if he can play 2B, I'm sure he can play 3B at least. Mackowiak looks great right now. He's batting .338 with decent power and he's a lefty hitter. I checked his stats at 3rd, and they aren't great. So, according to many people here, we can't get him. His amazing offense pales in comparison to Crede's incredible defense.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 31, 2005 -> 03:31 PM) LOL. No, Cruddy has just sucked this season and this season alone. I'm tired of hearing that we're making "knee-jerk" reactions because we're jumping on Crede. He has always sucked for as long as I've known who he was! f*** Crede! f*** Crede! f*** Crede! I've never hated a Sox player as much as I hate Crede. And I do hate him. Before anybody says that I'm letting my anger cloud my judgment, I only hate him because he sucks. I don't think he sucks because I hate him. Ahh, now I feel better.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 31, 2005 -> 02:33 PM) Also, it is highly unlikely KW will deal a starting position player he has under control for a guy who "could" leave at year's end. Didn't he do that with Olivo and Garcia?

QUOTE(JimH @ May 31, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) Have you read or heard any of the quotes from Guillen or KW about them showing faith in these players? What does that tell you? It tells me that their faith is misplaced.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 31, 2005 -> 02:09 PM) One plus an option I think? I may have remembered it wrong. I have no idea where to get contract information. That's all I got from ESPN.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 31, 2005 -> 02:02 PM) Of course there can be improvements, but I see KW adding to the team vs. changing out a key position like 3B. And by the way, I do not think adding some salary is a problem for the White Sox, i.e. I don't think they'd be afraid to add Randa's contract which I believe is a 2 yr. deal. But I don't think they feel it's the right move to trade Crede for Randa. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think so. December 21, 2004 Reds ink 3B Randa, leave Kearns in outfield Third baseman Joe Randa agreed Tuesday to a one-year contract with the Reds, ending Cincinnati's plan to move right fielder Austin Kearns to the position next season.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 31, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) If you ain't getting Chavez, don't bother. I can't understand this logic at all. How can we be so content with the awful, awful play of Crede? Randa may be slightly worse to better defensively than Crede. He is undoubtedly better offensively. He knows the AL Central. He's a veteran presence. He wouldn't cost much.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2005 -> 01:49 PM) and a huge hole in the batting order. We already have one of those in Crede. So, we better fill that hole first.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) And you clear payroll from where??? He makes 2 million f***ing dollars. Besides, Konerko is off the books after this year. There, there's your money.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) Knowing the reds, and their needs, we would have to float a pitcher in there. Give them Munoz or Diaz or some other piece of s***, who cares? They're never going to see the majors with this team anyway.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) Lets say this goes through. What in the hell do we do next year in the hot corner?? Fields is NOT ready. You sign Randa for another 1-year deal.
