QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 8, 2010 -> 10:09 AM) I could just read Soxtalk and replace a couple of names. RIGHT!!! I was thinking the same thing. I can't believe twins fans are complaining like that.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 09:10 PM) Any chance Gardy loses his job for once again failing to get that team to the next level? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 11:51 PM) Why is jeff foxworthy a tbs baseball analyst? Because TBS is a joke?

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! THOSE f***ERS LOST AGAIN LAST NIGHT!!!! I love this post season so far.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) Um, I'm kinda hoping Thome gets a World Series ring finally? Am I going to get strung up here for that? SOMEBODY GET A ROPE!!! Naw I'm just kidding. You certainly won't by me. Root for whoever you wish. Me? I just want the twins to fail miserably in the playoffs. It gives me joy to see how demoralized their fans are by how much the yanks own them. Those f***ers gloat when they beat the Sox, and now they're getting a taste of their own medicine. I love it.

QUOTE (T R U @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) Uh, this is very necessary.. f*** the twins, I hope they get swept.. Glad someone else here has some sense. All of this "respect" for the twins is downright sickening. I hate the yankees just as much as everyone else, but I just hate the twins more. f*** the twins. I hope the yanks put up about ten runs on porn 'stach man tonight.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 12:07 AM) Are you comparing Peavy to Halladay? Oh no not at all... I know better than that. I'm just saying that I'm sure when KW acquired Peavy, he got him to be the ace of the staff... the guy you want on the bump at the start of a playoff series and when you really need a win. That is why the phillies got Halladay, and he went out and performed like an ace should. That's what I want out of JFP.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 11:57 PM) Is this really necessary? Yep. To me it is.

On a side note: Is it me or is the TBS coverage BRUTALLY bad? Well I guess it's better than letting boomer (Chris Berman) call the game on espn.

BLEW A 3-0 LEAD!!!! LIRIANO DEALS, THEN CRAPS THE BED IN THE 6TH!!! JESSE CRAIN BRINGS GAS CAN TO THE MOUND AGAIN AND GIVES UP A MOONSHOT TO TEIXEIRA!!! MAUER 1 FOR 5 WITH TWO STRIKE OUTS!!!

Note to JAKE PEAVY: Jake, that is what aces do. That is why aces are acquired. I hope you were taking notes.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) yankees and red sox have a bunch of players who either likes talking trash, or deserves to be hated, like A-rod, jeter, Ortiz, Varitek, and Manny and Pedro back in the days. We only have a bunch of Mr. nice guys here, the only guy you can really hate on this team is AJ I don't necessarily like Jeter, but why does he deserve to he hated?

QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Sep 25, 2010 -> 10:36 AM) I don't want to see any kind of NBA/NHL playoff system in baseball, but I LOVE the 2-Wildcard idea that has started to gain steam recently. Tweaking the Wildcard = OK, tweaking the division titles/adding more teams elsewhere = bad. First, read Tom Verducci's take on why MLB needs to add a second Wildcard. I've been campaigning for this to everyone who will listen for the past two weeks. This is just the perfect solution, for so many reasons: Adds more teams to the playoff race without adding more team to the playoffs. Adds excitement, via a one-game, win-or-go-home playoff, to the Wildcard teams. It creates a genuine disadvantage/disincentive for the Wildcard vs. the division winners. Makes division races with two runaway teams (like the current meaningless one between the Yankees and Rays) become important. This system would improvement fairness, excitement, relevance and (yes) revenue. There are people who aren't crazy about the idea of changing the Wildcard, but the bottom line on everything is "If you don't like it, then win your division." That mantra could replace the current one of "We don't care as long as we get in," which treats the Wildcard as equal to a division title and thus actually does devalue the regular season. The great thing about this revised format is that, unlike most fads designed to bring in money, this one doesn't cheapening the playoffs; it only adds intrigue and excitement. It rewards teams more fairly based on their finish in the season, while still adding more teams to the playoff mix and throwing in a thrilling one-game playoff without watering down the product or adding more rounds to the existing bracket. Baseball is the only professional sport in which winning your division actually means something very significant. Nobody cares about raising banners to division champions in the NBA, NFL or NHL. This is a way to make that even more significant, while at the same time adding excitement to the playoffs and more teams to the chase. What's not to like? You know... I was totally against the idea of fooling with the MLB playoffs, but after reading that article, I am completely on board. Man there is nothing like bonus play in games. I was at our game 163 in 2008 and it was electrifying. And even though I hate the twins and the tigers, their game 163 was one of the best games that I had ever seen. And we'd be guaranteed at least 2 games like that every year. I think it's a very good idea. Plus, I am all for something good that will increase baseball's ratings. Screw the NFL and the NBA.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 10:23 AM) Can someone explain the Rick Hahn love affair to me? I honestly don't pay attention to what he has done or is responsible for so I'd like to get a little educated on the topic. I think it's because he's the sabermetrics guy in the organization. I could br wrong though.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 09:58 AM) Whatever happened to Dan Evans? Remember him, he was Rick Hahn before Rick Hahn was cool. I like Hahn but do not think KW is giving up his job for him just yet. I think Evans went to LA, and a lot of White Sox fans were upset when KW got the job and he didn't. I think he went to Dodgers and sucked and got fired. EDIT: Okay maybe he didn't suck... seems like he did a good job rebuilding the Dodgers farm system. Apparently he got pushed out when the McCourts took over ownership. He's an agent now.

I guess I like Rick Hahn, but KW is the GM and I'd like it to stay that way. If Hahn finds a GM job with another club, then so be it. Good luck...

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 08:13 AM) Will we try to keep him by moving KW up? Everyone keeps saying this but I don't get it. Move KW up to what and for what?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 07:01 PM) Even if the Sox don't bring back AJ or Konerko or Jenks, you have to figure at least one will be replaced with someone pretty good. As crazy as this might seem, I think the Sox are sitting pretty for 2011. The AL Central has 2 awful teams, another team that will have more holes to fill than the Sox, and just may be awful as well, and yet another team that you have to figure may come back to the pack a little. I don't see Carl Pavano duplicating 2010. Even if Nathan and Morneau come back at full strength, I think their pitching is going to feel the effects of a long season. I think the Sox have to quit kissing Minnesota's ass and go out and beat them. Its time for the Sox to hate them. Make it like NY/Bos. If the Sox ever figure that out, they should dominate the division and they will be in the playoffs 6 out of 9 years. QFMFT!!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 08:27 AM) Kemp + Loney? We don't need Loney. PK will be back at first and I'd hope KW finds an even better 1B/DH. Loney isn't that good, is he?

Call me crazy, but I'm not that worried about PK not coming back. Where else is he going to go? And who else could the Sox sign to give you the production that PK gives? We are not ready for a full time Viciedo at 1b. I think they'll work it out and Paulie will be back.

I'll be pulling for the Reds, even though I think Votto is an a$$hole. I like Dusty and I'd be nice to see him finally get a ring. I wouldn't mind seeing Tampa Bay come out of the AL.

I'd like to think that we could get a lil more than Matt Kemp for Gavin Floyd.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 03:40 PM) MLB Network better soften the blow of a long offseason. My ex girlfriend used to think I was crazy for watching MLB Network and the 2005 DVDs in the middle of winter. Notice I said ex girlfriend.
