I'd be up for a game, i should be in prime mid-season softball form by then

Is he 16?

QUOTE (R.J. @ Mar 1, 2009 -> 08:25 PM) Forget that, make them sign him. They aren't going to part with a prospect worth anything. Why do we need to do Cabrera any favors? Let Toronto or Oakland give him a contract, take the pick and draft smart. because then you risk nobody signing him until the draft pick compensation is over.

bunt that s*** JO, wooooooooooo

My thoughts are the person getting the most at-bats in a game should not also be the worst hitter on the team (JO)

Chris Bosh twit's too

Where was "Slayer" decided, I don't remember.

should be funny. Got my tickets for that 1st Twins game, its always cool to see an entire stadium cheer for a returning guy.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 04:04 PM) Thats the thing. If BA doesnt start, doesnt that roster spot for the 4th OF go to Lillibridge? No, you take them both.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 02:25 PM) www.google.com for next time BA .232 .272 .709 Wise .248 .293 .742 +.16 in BA +.21 in OBP +.33 in OPS both terrible, Wise slightly outperformed BA. Both arent major league hitters. So you agree, they are both terrible. In that case you take the guy who can play CF over the guy who can't. JOke will be the CF and Anderson should be the 4th OF at the very least.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 23, 2009 -> 12:57 PM) It's only a blurb, but today's Tribune sets up the scenario of Lillibridge, Betemit, Owens, Wise, and a catcher making the team, 12 pitchers being carried, and Anderson going back to AAA. If Wise makes this team over BA....good god.

yes, they are both white.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 02:33 AM) Did LeBron James look 18 or 19 when he entered the league? That dude is a MAN. Just because the kid is from south of the border doesn't mean he lied about his age... Now you're a man, a man man man. M-A-N Man! god i love that song.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 05:04 PM) Agreed. Ehren doesn't do it for me Even Carasco, I give him 2 weeks in the bulpen and if he's not lights out, cut him. Its quite sad that we think guys like D-weezy and Carasco are gonna be awesome players after being s*** for 10+ years in the minors.

""We've got a strong pen coming back," Linebrink said. "Having Thornton and Dotel and Bobby Jenks back there, and then you add guys like (Ehren) Wasserman and D.J. Carrasco, there are several good arms down there."" Gross

Game 2 of the WS should be in everyone's top 3. That IMO was one of if not the greatest WS games ever played. A dramatic grand slam to take the lead, lose the lead, then a walkoff? Christ that game still gives me goosebumps. 1. WS Win/ Uribe's 9th inning performance 2. Game 2 of WS 3. The last 4 days of the '08 season.

yeah I don't know how we are going to cope with the losses of Big Game Jave, Dirty .120, or Crede's back. The only "significant" loss was OCa(ncer)b. PK can't be any worse Thome will be Thome JD has been the most reliable RF in the past 4 years, why will he decline? AJ will be AJ. Pitching is the one area to worry about having only 2.5 solid starters. You kinda have no idea what you're talking about.

anyone know the code for the pre-sale today?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 6, 2009 -> 07:42 AM) Or with a more modern spin... John Paxson. Who? Oh, right, the guy who destroyed the Bulls for the next several years with absolutely s***ty drafts, pussy trades, and stupid signings/extensions. How is he not fired yet.

anyone know if the sox pride club still gets to buy OD tickets early? nevermind "members of the Sox Pride Club have an internet pre-sale on Wednesday, February 11"

QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Jan 30, 2009 -> 02:41 PM) We didn't win any of the Twins games, but I hear ya there... Wise has always been the reason why we couldn't win in the Hump Dome. I also find it funny that the Sox would rather trot out this " $200K 30 year old minor league journey-man" everyday in the middle of a heated pennant race over the savior in waiting, Nick the Swisher. Hell, even Ozzie can admit Swish would be a much better defensive option than Wise... yet there was no playing time to be found for Nicky in September. BA wasn't an option because we all know that Ozzie absolutely refused to put him in Left. People are b****ing about Wise's OBP, did Owens have anything above that all year until very late in Charlotte? The Sox sure were anxious to get him up here. I'll take a veteran that knows the game over a young hack that is digressing and would not even have had a shot in this league if it wasn't for his legs. honestly don't even know what the hell you are rambling on about. The fact is: Wise did not win the f***ing division for the White Sox. Outside of a couple home runs, he did absolutely, positively, nothing defensively or offensively. What won the division: Danks, Floyd, Liney, Jenks, Q, Alexi, Dye, AJP, and bits and pieces from everyone else. Its one thing to say he was better than Swisher or that BA is in the forever OZ-house, but to say that he won the division for us is plain stupid.

QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Jan 30, 2009 -> 01:56 PM) Convenient for CQ to save him from scrutiny by almost giving away the Central for smashing his hand into a locker/wall whatever. I'd like to think Wise was actually a better player when he was starting and knew he would be everyday. We don't win the division last year without Wise. period. Owens would not have been capable of that spark. I'm not calling him an all-star, but sometimes journeymen need to find their niche. Wise never played scared... he plays smart. haha Did you watch any games other than the 3 Wise had a HR in? Claiming that Wise, a 30 something year old career minor leaguer, won us the division is the most ridiculous thing i have heard all day. Congrats.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 11:35 AM) Melissa I think you must be typing faster than you are thinking. Joe Crede was the man in 2005 for sure. He is also widely preaised for his defense and clutch hitting and not just by Sox fans Do you just not realize he can't stay healthy? How are you not able to understand that? Yeah he is a fantastic player, but his stats won't be that good while on the DL for 50% of the season.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 05:59 PM) All 6 innings of Freddy Garcia injured him? Wow. And again, I don't see how you people consider a WBC championship worthless, while an MLB championship is the most important thing. WOW You honestly care more about some stupid exhibition tourney for a couple weeks over a 162 game season? Its pointless

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 08:48 AM) That's a great idea... What was Brooks answer? "We will flush it down and see if it sinks or floats to the top"
