Good to see Bobby defend his teammates but still even if you did throw it with intention DON'T ADMIT IT!

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 8, 2009 -> 11:36 PM) How I see it...it's got to boil down to Poreda (which I'm not really in favor of)...or dial up Pedro. I agree we should prob. give poreda a shot. That being said I think it's going to be clayton and count will take his place in the bullpen.

Definiton of a stopper: Mark Buehrle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you know I still remember back like two years ago when lance dominated the royals for like a three hitter at the end of the year and I was so sure that he was going to be legit. but well yeah that didn't work out too well

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 5, 2009 -> 09:45 PM) Again, what are you basing this on? Alexi hasn't even shown to be capable of playing an above average SS. So moving him to the most demanding OF position is supposed to accomplish something? And Beckham isn't exactly tearing up AA right now (and his D appears to need quite a bit of work). Our offense is what it is. We see this every year. Our best bet is to hope the pitching can hold it down until the summer months get here and the balls start flying out of the park. I do agree that beckham does need work on defence cause I think he has like 7 errors or something already in the minors. my point about alexei moving to center was that if your going to move him eventually then you mine as well just do it now before he becomes entrenched in the postition. what pisses me off about the situation is that no one seems to be planning ahead, like I said before where is beckham going to go if and when he does come up? hopefully the pitching does straighten itself out b/c other than buehrle no one is looking too hot right now.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 5, 2009 -> 09:31 PM) Bringing Beckham up right now would solve absolutely none of the many issues this team has. And I'm gonna barf the next time somebody says we should move Alexi to CF. I think this would hopefully jumpstart an inconsistent offense and moving lexei to center could solve our center field issue as well and hopefully the change will effect his hitting in a positive way too. I mean if we jump ahead a years time this is still going to be the same issue unless something changes. Alexei is still going to be at short, getz or nix could still be at second. someone is going to have to move eventually to make room for beckham. Indians just brought up laporta and he doesn't have much experience either, I'm a firm believer in the best player should play regardless of age.

Alright we've had this discussion a million times, but right now it really is not a discussion. I feel like I'm watching a minor league team right now. Can anyone honestly tell me Brent Lillibridge is better than Beckham? Move Alexei to center and put Becks at short. I think he can have the same impact Longoria did for the Rays last year. SUCK IT UP OZZIE AND BRING UP BECKHAM!

WE NEED BECKHAM IN OUR LINEUP!!!!! Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself but I think he is a beast. I don't see why he isn't getting more consideration right now for at least 2b, if not shortstop by moving lexi to center. but we do need speed in our lineup. Getz? otherwise its owens or d-weezy

a couple more

I went to the game today. dayan vicideo is HUGE! he must have been massive before he lost that weight, cause he is a big boy. I'll try and post some pics ltr if someone tells me how to do it.

hey anyone know what time tix go on sale for whitesox.com users on thursday?

Is that date for sure, cause I didn't see any announcement?

Quentin is an emerging superstar, I'd trade him for like Pujols, and Ryan Braun off the top of my mind and that's about it. JARROD WASHBURN?

if the tigers starters can get back to form they can be tough again too with verlander, bonderman, gallaraga, robertson, and the newly acquired edwin jackson. there are a lot of question marks there though. plus they don't have a closer and it doesn't look like they can afford one

I know we have enough to compete in our division, I was just referring to beyond that. long way off but if we were to make the playoffs it would be tough for us to matchup against some of those teams.

I don't know about you guys but when looking at the rotation of the Yankees, rays, and red sox I'm thinking we need to add at least one quality starter by either free agency or trade. it's hard to say what your going to get out of gavin and danks coming off years in which they threw so many innings. who knows what to expect out of marquez, richard, broadway etc. I'm not against the idea of trying to get garland back for like 10-12 mil a year if he is willing to come back. lowe and burnett aren't worth the money, and garland may not make it look pretty but he is an innings eater and still wins with consistency. he would be a solid #4 in our rotation, then maybe sign a veteran like pedro, or randy johnson or let richard and company battle it out for the 5th starter spot. Thoughts?

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 10:54 PM) Did he give a wave, hit tip, anything to acknowledge? yeah he gave a little wave to the crowd I think he was in shock as to why anyone would give him a standing O

I'll be there on sunday and there is no doubt I'm giving pods a standing ovation. everyone on that 05 team deserves one when they come back home. I remember going to a game a couple years back against the cardinals, edmonds ran into the wall and got hurt then timo perez came in. everyone in the outfield got up and gave him a standing O.

I'm going to say the sox win 4 out of 6 from the cubs. hopefully the probables stay the same and we miss zambrano both times. I definately think we can light up lilly, gallagher, and marquis. Ryan Dempster? I still don't believe he is really as good as his record shows.

So any update yet on the status of crede? I hope its just a bruise but if not get the Josh Fields threads rolling.

I went with quentin for obvious reasons, although I think alexei could be gunnin for that stop in june. contreras as best pitcher, gotta love what the big 3 are doing but contreras is just locked in.

I saw uribe cruising in his range rover after a cubs vs. sox game at the cell, also saw tadahito with his translator and some girl in a car being chauferred around. going along the lines of what bighurtforlife said I've met some b-ball players in college: Chase Budinger, Jerryd Bayless, and Luke Walton comes down a lot to play with the guys. Looking forward to chillin with Brandon Jennings next yr.

I saw thome at the gas station. He only lives like 3 blocks away from me so I end up seeing him a lot.

I don't know about you guys but what I'm looking foward to most this month is kicking the snot out of the cubs for six games. taking them out of first place would give me great satisfaction.
