QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) I get your point Shrek. I was just responding to those who said I should stop discussing Bobby. My argument was if we are still talking about Thome (which has been a subject beaten to death) then I should still talk about Bobby, a subject equally beaten to death. I thought there was a double standard, people being allowed to continually say the same things about Thome and when I say the same things about Bobby, people blast me. I don't see why you'd say the same things about bobby though. Thome was loved by everybody, has been constantly good, was cheap, and the sox let him go. Bobby has had continual weight problems that he still hasn't solved, and has been just plain bad, and is overpaid. You confuse me.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 11:54 PM) Good. So you agree it's good for me to still talk about Bobby. I still worship Bobby in a non religious way. Huh? Why would you worship him? I was just saying we shouldn't ignore the fact that he has been sub par this year because it has hurt us.

If we get far out of it, I'd say give a good amount of AB's to morel and see if he is ready. I really hope we don't resign AJ unless it's for very cheap. He just isn't very productive anymore.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 05:02 PM) We acquired him too late. Sox have a lot of work to do in the offseason. Will be hard to improve the team if we don't trade any of our starters and I assume we still want a rotation of Mark, Jackson, Floyd, Danks and Peavy which on paper will be very good. Man with Sale and Thornton and Putz and maybe Jenks ... on paper that's a worldbeater staff. But we know how on paper doesn't mean s*** when it comes to the White Sox, who can't beat teams in their own division. If we keep Jenks for the amount he will get in arb... jeez. I don't see the front office being that dumb though. You can get much better with the amount he would be making.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 05:09 PM) My point was that both topics are equally old news on here. Whether it is old or not doesn't negate the fact that it is still adversely affecting the team. The Thome thing is still killing us and Jenks still isn't helping us. They should both be discussed until it is no longer a problem.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 10:56 PM) You are telling ME to let it go when every thread turns into Thome? Ozzie? I will respond until I'm banned. I expect people to drop the Thome schtick as I was told to drop the Jenks talk. If they bring it up you expect me to ignore it just because I could give a s*** if Thome was on our team or not? It's old and we get it. Thome good; Kotsay/Jones bad. Oh wait, just Kotsay bad. Most people seem to like Jones. Thome and Jenks are completely different situations. Thome is a player that was very productive and that could have been had very cheaply, but the manager botched it an hindered the team. Jenks is an overpaid player who is under performing and isn't really helping the team. It is completely understandable that people defend Thome and bash Jenks.

I know the Thome thing has been talked to to death, but you can't overlook the close ball games he won for the Twins and his great production. Having his production on our team, minus his production on the twins, the division race would be closer. And if Konerko needed rest every now and then, you put Teahen at 1st base. If this division comes down to a game or two, blame needs to be put on Ozzie. He single handedly handcuffed this team for a good portion of the season and allowed the Twins to get a very productive player for a cheap amount.
