He's either Jealous or Spot-on.
QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 08:52 AM)Sounds like Joe Cowley is jealous that people on this site have sources that are better than his. Here are his last few tweets:Sun-Times first reported the Sox were interested in Adrian Gonzalez back on Oct. 6, and was informed by the club couldn’t happen.
Then some site called SoxNet.net – written in the basement of a trekkie turned blogger – jumps n the pile late with no sources.
The sad part? Poor Gonzo is told by his dictator SE to give validity to a blog on their own website like it’s to be taken seriously.

Would Carl Crawford be a better upgrade than Pods or Damon.

QUOTE (tonyho7476 @ Nov 2, 2009 -> 11:24 AM)Are the housing projects south of the stadium still there? I park on the north side. That needs to go, just like all housing projects.
What year is this? The Taylor homes were demolished in 2007 and residents moved out in 2005.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 03:33 PM)This is by far the best post in this thread. I love how it got no responses because it insulted the masses. I'm with you on this one dude.
This pitching staff is too special to not spend 100 Million. If we overspend and field the correct team, the attendence spike when we start 35-10 will surely pay for these players.
And it starts with Bobby in the back.
Yea that was spot-on. Only those Pale Hose organization knows their budget. Everything else is a fantasyland guess.

National League teams had priority for Wagner, an NL player, followed by AL clubs.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 04:49 PM)ESPN speculation is around San Francisco and the Mets, Sox aren't mentioned.
4:39pm: Joel Sherman of the New York Post hears from a high-ranking Mets official that the Mets did not claim Rios. J.P. Ricciardi didn't get into specifics with MLB.com's Jordan Bastian and just said it's normal to place players on waivers.

Boston and the Mets didn't make a claim according to http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 07:02 AM)Anyone else believe they're only keeping Wise around to limit the public outrage (among the baseball stupid and media) for not showing respect to the player who saved the perfect game?
At this point, with having acquired Kotsay, there is NO reason to keep Wise on the roster. Every passing day is just a mistake, and would only prove to me they're purposely extending time between last Thursday and whenever they designate Wise for assignment.
Kotsay isn't the OF he was 5 years ago.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 08:36 AM)There just seems to be a disconnect between him and our minor leaguers (who have just happened to be mostly white of late).
Most of our minor leaguers from the Schaffer era have been awful, that might be the answer.

This might be the dumbest post ever. I know we're better than this as a group.
Aside from that, our young white players are consistently held to different standards than their non-caucasian counterparts. There is ZERO reason Colon should start over Richards, the same way there was ZERO reason for choosing Wise over Anderson. The young white players have to play like all-stars to keep their spot, while the others are allowed to suck perpetually? Give me a break. Ozzie has serious issues with double standards.

Wise and Anderson both suck, if either is playing for us, then we are screwed.

QUOTE (TLAK @ Jun 13, 2009 -> 08:06 AM)I noticed Brian has been starting and playing full time consistently for the past week or so. The only game he missed was 1/2 of Monday's double header. Here is how he responded:
Games 9
AB 28
H 4
R 4
2B 1
3B 0
HR 1
BB 2
RBI 2
SB 0
CS 1
GDP 2
SAC 2
AVG .142
OBP .214
Ouch. I was hoping for better.
The "Ozzie hates BA" group is gonna come after you!

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:05 AM)I'm guessing Poreda called up, Richard back to the pen as the long reliever/spot starter. Colon is released. Leaving the rotation the rest of the year:
Buerhle, Floyd, Danks, Contreras, Poreda
Isn't that what most of us predicted to start the year back in the winter?
Look at Poredas #'s this year:
He is more than ready to go. .
Is that a high walk rate?

I have not laughed this hard at a thread on this site in a long time! Good Stuff and can Timo Perez play 3rd?!

Dunn in CF? You're smoking something right?

Dunn shouldn't be allowed anywhere near an outfield.

WHITE SOX AGREE TO TERMS ON ONE-YEAR CONTRACT WITH
10-TIME GOLD GLOVE WINNER ANDRUW JONES
CHICAGO – The Chicago White Sox have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with outfielder Andruw Jones, a 10-time Gold Glove Award winner and five-time All-Star. Under terms of the deal, Jones will receive a base salary of $500,000 in 2010 and up to an additional $1 million in performance bonuses.
Jones, 32, batted .214 (60-281) with 17 home runs and 43 RBI in 82 games with Texas in 2009 while making 53 starts as the designated hitter, 12 in left field, five in right field and four at first base.
The 6-foot-1, 240-pounder averaged one home run every 16.5 at-bats, which would have ranked eighth in the American League with the required plate appearances, and he led the team with an average of one walk every 7.36 plate appearances. Jones hit three home runs on July 8 at the Los Angeles Angels.
“This is an opportunity to add a power bat to the roster while improving our outfield depth,” said Ken Williams, White Sox general manager. “With the addition of Andruw, Mark Kotsay and Omar Vizquel, we feel our bench is taking shape to be a strong asset heading into the 2010 season.”
A native of Willemstad, Curacao, Jones owns a lifetime .257 (1,776-6,898) average with 388 home runs, 1,174 RBI and 1,109 runs scored in 1,918 games with Atlanta (1996-2007), the Los Angeles Dodgers (2008) and the Rangers (2009). He has added 356 doubles and 143 stolen bases.
Jones has hit 30 or more home runs seven times, including a career-high 51 in 2005, and has recorded 100-plus RBI five times, most recently with a career-best 129 in 2006. Among players active in 2009, Jones ranks 10th in home runs, 15th in RBI and 19th in runs scored. His 388 home runs rank 52nd all-time.
Jones (1998-2007) is one of just five outfielders in major-league history to win to win at least 10 Gold Gloves, joining Roberto Clemente (12), Willie Mays (12), Ken Griffey Jr. (10) and Al Kaline (10), and is one of 15 players all-time with 10 or more. Teammate Omar Vizquel (11) is one of the 15.
He owns a .992 (38 E/4,563 TC) career fielding percentage in center field, the second-best mark since 1954 among players with at least 1,500 games at that position. Only Brett Butler (.993) ranks ahead of Jones.
Jones is a five-time National League All-Star (2000, 2002-03, ’05-06) and has played in 75 career postseason games, including the 1996 and 1999 World Series with the Braves.
The White Sox 40-man roster is at 39.
