  1. Freebie for out of towners. DTV Channel 665.
  2. I am sensing he is too classy to do a never ending Mariano Rivera tour of the league farewell.
  3. His pitch count is still mind boggling. Last night 122 pitches in 7 innings.
  4. Very sad that in the juice era, 400 homers is not the benchmark it should be.
  5. Can't be worse than a Dominican with a borrowed name and a bogus birth certificate.
  6. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 25, 2012 -> 09:09 AM) Home run of a write up by Barry Rozner http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20120123/sports/701239691 I approve of this opinion.
  7. QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Jan 2, 2012 -> 04:18 PM) Wow, you have no issues with a roster that's probably closer to last place in their division than first. It's this acceptance of mediocrity and blind loyalty to this ownership that will keep this Sox mired in the dumps for decades. Reinsdorf's act would have played out a long time ago anywhere else except Chicago. Michael Jordan not Frank Thomas is the reason why Reinsdorf has remained viable this long. Sox fans would have a cardiac if someone like Arte Moreno took over. Imagine having an owner committed to winning rather than one who constantly whines about the cost of winning. All we do is talk about accounting issues. It's Reinsdorf's responsibility to put people in the seats - not ours. Let him find something else to do if he can't deal with the economic realities of what it takes to be an elite organization. 120 million dollars - that's chump change - he needs to spend at least half that much on improving the sorry state of his minor league organization. And mark my words, you will never see him pay a luxury tax to get the Bulls and their long-suffering and loyal fans a championship. Chicago needs sportsmen to run their franchises - instead of these ma and pa run organizations that eat off the team's profits to survive. This town deserves way better than what we have. I'll now await the expected barrage of criticism from the Reinsdorf lemmings. +1
  8. Twins signed Willingham and these 2 guys are possibly available.
  9. QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 07:08 PM) Miss him already Maybe they'll let him tarp slide down there. The roof is retractable. No rainouts.
  10. QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 06:37 PM) I doubt it. He'll probably talk about it every year, and then sign another contract at the end of this one. The new Brett Favre My sentiments , exactly. Josh Johnson is the ace of that staff in Miami and Anibel Sanchez is the #2. Looks like Mark will have to compete with Ricky Nolasco for #3 in that rotation. That's is a lot of money for a #3.
  11. QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 13, 2011 -> 01:38 PM) I think i'm more shocked that so many people seem to like the Man Up miller lite commercials. Agree, wholeheartedly.
  12. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 10, 2011 -> 10:03 AM) Stop right there. NO ONE is going to take on Jake Peavy for essentially $21million in 2012. Just forget about it. Arrrggghhh! Thanks Kenny. Maybe the Yankees are crazy enough. They have no one on that staff ( healthy ) after Nova And the fat man.
  13. QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 10:03 AM) My guess is Lamont will be the bench coach. I also think McEwing will get the 3rd base coach job and Manto will get the hitting coach job. I'd prefer Laker be the hitting coach, since he's familiar with the young guys, but the Tribune hinted more towards Manto. I wonder if he speaks Spanish, because we're going to need someone to help with the Cubans and other Latin players. If I am not mistaken Lamont didn't actually endorse the Ventura hiring. Anyone for Albert Belle?
  14. I would rather see Peavy gone than Danks. Younger arm with stuff. Wonder if there are any thoughts for Matt Thornton being converted to starting? With Beurhle and Peavy gone (possibility) there would be room for 2 starters. Sale and ??????
