6 ip and 0 er is pitching poorly?? can i have some of what your smokin? im sorry but if you pitched poorly then even the non starters should be able to hit you or score some runs.. dont hate on Garland because you think he hasnt "done anything" this spring.. the point is to get out there and pitch and thats what he has done and well.. im confident he will be better than last yr and help this team win the division

How are you gonna start a thread bashing the Illini when your team got upset in the first round and destroyed by the Illini??? At least our team lost a tough game to the #1 team in the Nation.. Had a great year and lost a tough game in the Sweet 16.. Gimme a break this thread is a joke.. they had a great year and return the whole damn team next yr cept like 3 ppl that were bench players.. Illinois will be badass next year, better then this year...

Please... IU and MSU wont be able to hang with Illinois next yr, they have the entire team returning cept 3 non starters... PLUS recruits... it will be beautiful

Yeah I know its the wrong forum but i knew that this is where everyone would see it and if they didnt follow the Illini they could know how great of a season they are having..

Illinois just beat the dog crap out of Cincinnati to earn a trip to the Sweet 16 and a match up with Duke.. If we play as well as we did today Duke can be beaten! Man I cant wait to watch that game.. Illinois is playing some damn good ball at the right time

Man I cant believe that crap.. i just saw the extra bases thing and it made me sick.. how can you say that a team that is the SAME as it was when last yr started minus Colon and Gordon?? I mean cmon, they added some good arms in the pen and Wright is healthy this yr and Show cant be that bad.. Konerko will do better than last yr, I would be willing to say we are better than we were last yr... Colon wasnt even that great for us, i know a lot of you would agree you were dissapointed with him.. anyway, this team will NOT finish 4th.. no way.. its like impossible and even 3rd.. PLEASE.. For two ppl who are supposed to "know" baseball im very dissapointed with therir views on the White Sox and I know you all agree

No chance? Are you kidding me?? ..i cant even comment on this, its mind-boggling how you say the Sox have no chance this year

wow.. how could you ever vote FOR the Cubs to win a world series??

Hey steve.. I cant remember, but could you remind me what the score of the Illinois/Michigan State game was earlier this year?... I cant really remember but I think Illinois won, wasnt it a close game?? Oh wait a minute, thats right, Illinois kill MSU... tee hee... what was I thinking!!

Looks like im the lone vote for the Illini.. I love the White Sox and I love the Illini... but since the Illini would win the tournament before baseball season even starts I went with them.. I love the Sox to death, and I want nothing more than for them to win the series.. but I also want the Illini to win.. and just because they dont play in Chicago doesnt change anything.. Chicago is in.... (gasp) Illinois.. so why say who cares they dont even play in the city? I love my HOME STATE as much as my home city.. I support all Illinois teams, even the lowly Blackhawks! Hey, with all the losing and trading they do give em 3-4 yrs for all the young talent to develope and they will be set.. Anyway, I just wanted to say I want both to win their respective championships, and also say that you dont just rep. Chicago.. its a State man, my home state, and I am in support of every and all teams within my states boundries. BTW... I cant wait for NEXT YEARS NCAA Basketball season... damn, the Illini return all starters and lose I believe only 3 seniors... thats just FILTHY.. They are gonna be even better and I cant wait.. And I love the way they shattered the dreams of Indiana keepin their streak alive, classic..

Hey man I was thinking of buying that game myself, who is all on the Sox roster and would it be worth it to buy the game from what youve played so far? And is the franchise mode really that much better?... also... does it have a good soundtrack or the same old annoying ass songs I have to hear 50 times over and over.. thanks man

yes what was I thinking but dont doubt me, I was born and raised in Chicago and the Sox have been my favorite team since I can remember.. I hate the Yankees, just want something done about this because its unfair.. and is ruining the game

Im not a Yankee fan, im a Sox fan Im going for the Yankees so they go 162 - 0 and they make a salary cap

Last night before I fell asleep I saw a commercial on WGN that had a bunch of Cubs fans at Wrigley holding up signs.. and then it went to this old man holding a tissue to his eye and said... "Cubs Baseball is Coming" I thought I was gonna throw up..

Hey I think you need a little more help than with a project if you spell is skool.. lol

The thing I like best about J.Reed is that when he got promoted, he did even better.. and I think he will carry that success into AAA if he doesnt make the club, and you never know what can happen.

Willie Harris is pretty big for a 2nd baseman, he could also be on the list.. just my opinion

why dont you all wait to see what Willie does before you start bashing him.. he has the starting job, he has never had that before.. So lets just wait to see how he does before we immediatley start putting him down

you just watch.. the Yankees are gonna win like 130 games and blow through the playoffs.. A Rod is a HUGE addition to this team and if they sign Maddux thats even MORE. Baseball needs to have a salary cap, or your just gonna deal with this forever.

I hate the yankees, they make me sick. And baseball is begining to make me sick as well. Im getting tired of seeing this crap every year. Its not fair at all and the Yankees will win the World Series this yr, and if they sign maddux im gonna :puke

everyone pray the Yankees go 162 - 0 so that baseball sees a 200 Mil payroll is bulls*** and puts and end to this crap..

maybe if ARod doesnt work out in NY we could trade Buehrle for ARod and we would be solid at SS
