southsidehitmen01 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I personally don t take that much out of the power rankings for baseball but when I see this it just makes me smile... 8. Chicago White Sox 9.Chicago Cubs :finger this is according to Sports Weekly which i am a subscriber to. they have an article talking about awards for the 1/3 point in the season with Ozzie being #2 for AL manager of the year and Frank Thomas #9 with one first place vote for MVP they also mention us being more aggrasive in getting freddy garcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsSuck1 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I believe ESPN had us at #7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 So much pride in being one up on a team that is in 5th place in their division... We wouldn't have to be worrying about power rankings if the Sox would just stop choking in games and plummeting in the standings like turkeys from a helicopter.

southsider2k5 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Buck Showalter Not a bad choice either. The only guy I can think of other than that is Mike Scosica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsidehitmen01 Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 I can understand buck being there tho when they fall apart ozzie could take the 1 slot (if we stay in it of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Buck Showalter OK. Thanks. That makes sense. He won't be #1 come the ASB...or come September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 What the heck are the Cubs doing at 9? They are 2 games over .500. They have the 15th best record in MLB....clearly not deserving of 9. Not that it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a comment how he's always trashin the Sox even when they do well and hypin up the Cubs. BIG f***IN DEAL. My beef with him? I don't know him from Ronald f***in Reagan.

You just don't tell somebody to "SHUT THE HELL UP" and not expect a reaction. I made a simple comment. I was half joking anyway. I didn't call Brando a name or say he was dumb or anything like that. I made a simple observation and you snapped. But my bad for going off like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Not a bad choice either. The only guy I can think of other than that is Mike Scosica No way. With that team, he SHOULD win the division. It's a failure if they do anything less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 With that team, yes. Without Tim Samon, Garret Anderson, Darien Erstad, and Troy Glaus, is a differnt team. Even without those players, they still have a lineup that can hang with Texas' in the West. Their pitching definitely is better than Texas'; regardless of those players being out, they should win the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcasm = green letters Be sure to remember that because people take stuff seriously sometimes. I read your post and inferred that you were talking s***. I dont appreciate people who make less of others. we are all Sox fans here and we shoudl all be at peace with one another. Just remember to use green when your joking so stuff like this doesnt come up again or at least put a smiley at the end of it. I hope you understand. Seriously though, calling someone Steve Stone IS an insult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, calling someone Steve Stone IS an insult. I see your point. But in my defense. You can't honestly tell me Brando isn't a jackass a lot of the times and doesn't insult people that don't agree with him. I've seen him piss off plenty of people on this board. Not that I really care. I deal with people like that all the time. But it's cool. Lets just forget about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I agree, Brando does get under the skin of people sometimes. I'm sure many people here do from time to time. Everyone has an opinion... some folks voice it louder than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Brando has a lot of insightful opinions and they are usually right on the money. What Brando lacks, at times, is a bit of tact when someone disagrees with him. Though, I get the feeling that is by his own choice and really doesn't care who he irritates. However, I've been guilty of the same thing on occasion. So please, Brando, don't take this as critcism. It is not intended as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
