QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 08:58 PM) You mean left? My bad.

When did Ross learn to play RF?

Woo!!

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 08:42 PM) Per WSCR: 8:55pm start. Yeah...we'll see.

South Subs on Comcast it is channel 71.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:28 AM) 5409 people at the 1974 game? Can you imagine the attendance threads if Soxtalk was around then? That stood out to me as well. I thought the Sox were popular in the 70s or was that the 80s?

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 01:30 AM) Knowing Ozzie, Erstad will likely remain 2nd once Pods comes back, and Iguchi will still bat 7th, lol. This is exactly what I was thinking. When/if Pods comes back healthy...where is Erstad going to be in the lineup? I do like the right/lefty thing going on right now...it really messes up teams bullpens and who they will bring in to pitch..so hopefully Erstad moves to 7/8 area and Gooch stays in the 2 hole.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 23, 2007 -> 01:36 AM) I believe the following quotes will be mentioned at some point tomorrow: Hawk: "You know DJ, whenever you face this Kansas City ballclub you have to throw out the records. They play us TOUGH." DJ (Addressing some comment from Hawk)"No question. Gill Meche is earning every penny of his salary today against our ballclub." Hawk: (chuckles) "I'll tell you what, Grudzielanek swings a magic wand against our ballclub." And unfortunately they will be muttered in every game against KC. Zach Greinke can be added to that list of players that will dominate us in a start. And we will wake up Mike Sweeney in this series as well.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 01:56 PM) Anderson is in the 2 hole today. I see that on my stat tracker. Interesting move. You get 1 AB all year...now bat in the 2 hole. Oooook. Also Kielty (Buerhle killer) is in the 3 spot. Great.

Lets get the bad taste out of our mouths from last night and beat the crap out of Joe Kennedy!

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 01:30 PM) ROB MACKOWIAK SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN HITTING IN THAT SITUATION! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Glad I went to Opening day instead of toda.... Wait a minute, Monday sucked. Hopefully Sox have a better showing today. Should be a low-scoring grinder type game in those conditions. Luckily we have Erstad, King of all Grinders on our side.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 03:23 PM) Lead off walk for Pods. Must be a tight zone for Pods to get a lead-off walk.

Hey Balta...I joined your group on facebook. I am a fellow Zombie now.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 03:14 PM) It's funny....I thought he meant he hoped Farmer wouldn't be around on Monday. Sometimes that is the case. I wish we could trade him and Singleton to get Rooney back. I would even through in an extra case of balls if thats what they want instead of Singleton. Rooney could rock the 1 man booth until they picked someone else up.

QUOTE(HeGone33 @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 03:09 PM) Ok, I should have known better, I admit by source was Ed Farmer. Either way, I hope he isn't around on Monday. Same here. He dominates us.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 03:12 PM) Danks just threw his 40th pick off move to 1st. *yawn* LOL Who does he think he is...Mark Buehrle?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 04:06 PM) 2. White Sox lead the AL in runs scored during the spring. Really. I would have never guessed that.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 03:47 PM) Glad they chose against using Floyd as the #5. Its most obvious he isn't ready... ......bu hopefully Danks is. I like and agree with the choice of Danks, but hopefully we didn't rush him too much and hurt his development.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 03:29 PM) Dang. Youtube blocked here at work. It isn't at my work and I scared the crap out of the guy next to me when the guy started screaming. LOL QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 03:27 PM) I just got back from class, seeing the hit and run fail sucks, but it really annoys me that the Sox seem to have bad audio whether it's on Comcast or WGN and the Cubs always have perfect audio. Anything is better the the U though.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 03:22 PM) A bunch of us were at The Catcher's Inn on 35th when that happened. The place erupted. Beer flying everywhere....hugs and high fives to go around. What a memory. I was at Bourbon Street. That place went nuts as well. Couldn't even hear the TV for a couple of minutes.

Does anyone know who else is scheduled to pitch?

QUOTE(caulfield12 @ Mar 27, 2007 -> 12:20 PM) Thanks, I've posted for the last year and a half or so at WSI. I used to fight with ncorgbl on chisox.com for about 4 years. There aren't many good posters left at chisox.com (baggio is one), too many trolls and kids. I'm a teacher and coach now in Kansas City. Prior to that, I was Director of PR and Stadium Operations for the Augusta GreenJackets in 1994 and 1995, right after grad school. We were with the Pittsburgh Pirates at that point and won the SAL championship in 95. I got to know Dye (Macon), Andruw Jones, Vladimir Guerrero when they were just babies (Dye used my office phone, lol) and spent a lot of time with the mercurial, always-interesting Jose Guillen. Very cool. I am jealous.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 26, 2007 -> 11:44 AM) I don't know, I've personally felt Rodriguez would rather remain in the American league to transition to DH in the latter years of any contract. I honestly believe one of Miguel Cabrera, Ichiro Suzuki, or Alex Rodriguez will be a White Sox. And that doesn't mean in 10 years when they're on the tail ends of their careers, but within the immediate future. Realistically, if we contend next year and have a payroll close to 100 million, good chance Dye and Buehrle leave. There's 16.5 million off the books. Add in Crede's 5 million if a deal is in the works. Podsednik's 3 million and Erstad's 1 million hopefully will be as well. That'd be approximately 25.5 million; an amount I'm sure would drop due to raises across the team. Let's estimate around 20 million remains. Definitely enough for Ichiro, but still within the range of Rodriguez as well. I believe any addition of the aforementioned names will allow one/two rookies an opportunity to play in the majors. It'll be interesting to observe how Sweeney and Fields fare in AAA this season. If Sweeney were to showcase more power, and Fields maintains some of the production from last season, it could be those two in LF/RF in 2008. Who knows about Anderson. I'm done trying to predict his future. I wish he would remain with us, but with Williams unpredictable nature and Guillen being Guillen he may be gone by next week. This is a very good assessment of the White Sox current money situation. Kenny even admitted himself earlier either before ST or during that a lot of teams put themselves out of contention for next year's crop of FA because of the ridiculous deals they gave this past summer for inferior players. (I.E. the Cubs, Angels and Giants) Some of the potential FA's for this upcoming offseason is pretty staggering: NL: Carlos Zambrano Andruw Jones John Smoltz Doug Davis Randy Wolf Tom Glavine Barry Bonds Marcus Giles Kaz Matsui Pedro Feliz Rod Barajas Javy Lopez Craig Wilson AL: Mariano Rivera Ichiro Suzuki Bobby Abreu Curt Schilling Carlos Guillen Torii Hunter Jermaine Dye Andy Pettitte Jake Westbrook Shea Hillenbrand Joe Borowski Octavio Dotel Jose Guillen Mike Piazza Jeff Weaver Mike Lowell Bartolo Colon Scott Podsednik
