this year the Sox are really pulling out the 90's for all to see. Donn Pall, Blackjack, Robin ventura, Mike Huff in the booth. Rock Raines, Cora, Baines, Guillen on the field. Im loving it

QUOTE(rangercal @ May 26, 2005 -> 01:33 PM) depending on how this year's final outcome is will be my answer. I would lean towards kenny though. I think Anthrax is the best GM. Ever.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ May 26, 2005 -> 10:33 AM) Wow before the season the same could have been said about AJ..Great insight to nothing. AJ got anonymously ripped in the paper. Guillen got kicked off of his team. See a little bit of a difference?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 26, 2005 -> 10:27 AM) Dont forget Renteria being much better than Tejada. And lets not forget we should have traded Kong for Gibbons and Roberts.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 26, 2005 -> 09:42 AM) The pope's voice is high pitched and whiny, I cant stand him. Actually, watching the game under a slight influence, I noticed he sounded like Sylvester the Cat. Thats just me though

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ May 26, 2005 -> 08:48 AM) NEWSFLASH we were #2 last week as well this is true. It remains a travishamockery.

Kenny has been due against the Sox for his whole career. He still whips our arse every chance he gets. Slow curve, slower curve, even slower curve. Its not power pitching, but it works.

QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ May 26, 2005 -> 08:43 AM) Im looking forward to hearing Mcdowell in the booth tonight growning up he was one of my favorite players... Kenny Williams will also be in the booth Does this mean that DJ and the Pope are not going to be talking? Fantastic!

I guess it is a bit petty, but I dont see any real reason that the Sox should have been dropped to the 2 spot by the cardinals. the only reason I see the Sox dropping is because ESPN predicted that the Cardinals would overtake the Sox for the top spot. The ESPN pundits couldnt have made their prediction wrong, that would be silly. So the team with the best record in the Majors is now the second best team in the Majors. makes perfect sense!

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ May 26, 2005 -> 08:31 AM) We may miss the Gambler again barring a rain-out. Who do we face in that series? I was just reading something the other day that said 4 pitchers from the Rangers staff last year have had tommy john surgery since the season ended. Not a good stat to have.

QUOTE(mreye @ May 26, 2005 -> 08:29 AM) Why do we worry about this? I got sick of reading about Anthrax's GM moves. So I found something else to occupy my time. If we arent worrying about something or another on this site, what are we doing? Not too much.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?p...powerrank_week8 ESPN proves itself amateurs once again. No reasoning whatsoever, they just jockey people back and forth.

it looked like iguchi was on a delayed steal or something, he was past halfway to second base.

Everything Ozzie touches is gold right now. Widger hadnt hit a homerun in the majors in about 3 years, comes back from the independent league, and now hits two homeruns in spot starts? Thats awesome.

I despised Chris Snopek. For one, he wasnt Robin Ventura. And second, he wasnt ever going to be ready for the Majors. And third, he wasnt Robin Ventura.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ May 25, 2005 -> 05:38 PM) I make you all a deal I stop posting the truth about KW.. and you stop posting onhow great and what a good GM he is.. Deal? When your "truth" stops including sentences such as "My handpicked team would be 2-3 games off this pace right now", then maybe I will start to understand what you mean. Until then, you are playing a rotisserie(sp?) league

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ May 25, 2005 -> 05:36 PM) Until KW can actaully build a team that can win a title or WC.. IMO he is a failure. All but one GM every year is a failure. Get over it.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ May 25, 2005 -> 05:14 PM) Who here is glad that Anthrax isn't our GM? [Raises hand]

QUOTE(soxfan420 @ May 25, 2005 -> 02:54 PM) I just dont want the Sox to have to face Randa anytime soon. that guy is absolutely lights out against the Sox. If they have to acquire him to prevent this from happening, so be it.

droppin names.... So you walked up to scouts and started talking shop about KW? I would think scouts have alot more to do with their time at games than to talk down about a GM. Thats just me though. Lit a fire under his arse to make changes? KW has been making changes, every year, to try and better his club. It isnt as if he has been sitting back and letting them play and up and decided to start making changes because Ozzie started complaining. True, alot of his moves have blown up in his face, but that happens to every GM. Even Brian Cashman makes mistake signings. The difference is that Cashman has always had more wiggle room than KW because of Yankee money and Steinbrenners desire to win.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 25, 2005 -> 12:52 PM) I hate it when somebody proves me wrong. LOL. here is to 20/20 hindsight! In all seriousness, If I had to pick between Ortiz and El Duque I pick El Duque Jose Guillen and Jermaine Dye Jermaine Dye ( and that is only because Guillen is a ticking timebomb who has no concept of team, regardless of who is coaching him. Sciocia coaches very similar to Guillen, I dont see how Ozzie would have some sort of calming effect on Jose. ) Gibbons/Roberts and Konerko/Iguchi Konerko/Iguchi, hands down. Gibbons hasnt done much to distinguish himself, and while Roberts is pretty damn good, Iguchi is the one I want. Konerko will be fine, and will probably put up better numbers than Gibbons. iguchi should put up comprable, if not better numbers than Roberts.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 25, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) I've learned not to even bother reading that garbage. I played MLB2005 on playstation and got Oakland to trade me Hudson, Chavez and Zito for Pauly, Crede, and PTBNL. Straight up! It can happen! It really can!

QUOTE(poorme @ May 25, 2005 -> 09:35 AM) uribe is what he is. it's not easy to find a good hitting SS. what about CF, RF, DH, 3B, 1B? that's what is killing the offense. Well, we were all complaining about Konerko and Dye hovering around the .200 mark a few weeks ago, and they now stand at .228 and .221, respectively. Not great numbers, to say the least, but at least they have both been raising their averages while making contributions. Carl needs to get himself back on track, or its gonna be a long season for him when Frank gets called back to the bigs. Rowand is real close to breaking through, just a hunch. Although his weak grounder in the ninth didnt help him out too much.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 25, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) Cy Young awards have a tendency to influence people's definition of "ace". Why do you say that? Isnt Esteban Loaiza an ace?

QUOTE(mreye @ May 25, 2005 -> 07:13 AM) Oh man! The one in the blue tank top? Wow! I was wondering if she was catching everyone elses eye like she was catching mine. Cali girls rule.
