The White Sox thread

i don't get how the sox are scoring all these runs though. i guess most everyone is offensively a plus at their position, with a couple plus pluses thrown in. except crede, that guy blows.

business as usual on the South Side, in other words.

Ok, that's not entirely true; the emergence of Uribe and Harris at the top of the order (the latter especially - TOTALLY unexpected, in my case anyway), and their impressive OBP numbers, helps counteract the rest of the homer-happy lineup.

But seriously, Buehrle needs to stop this "OK, I will SUCK for the first two innings and then settle down" crap. For real. I'm getting REAL SICK of the routine, Mark.

And, if you'll recall, Reinsy was also one of the owners who decried the escalation of player salaries, yet he had no problem in signing Albert Belle to the most lucrative contract to date in '96.

Of course, Jordan did greatly upstage the Sox when they did make the playoffs with his first retirement.

Chicago sports team owners are all evil and it is hard to say which ones are the worse. All I have to say is whoever opproved the design for the remodeling of Soldier Field needs to be taken out and shot at sunrise, that thing is an abombination and has completely ruined a historic stadium.

No wonder I didn't know who Shingo was, ESPN doesn't even have a profile up yet.

Sox got some problems.

speaking of devilish smiles did anyone see the pic of jack ryan on the front page of the tribune yesterday? the only things he was missing were the horns, tail, and pitchfork.

Last I checked, Walt Harris was leaving worn jocks all over Soldier Field while a cornerback for Da Bears. Willie Harris has been getting platooned for both Rowand in CF and Uribe at 2B, and so far it hasn't hurt the Sox too much.

This week's series against the Twins is going smoothly; Buehrle was like butter last night and Freddy Garcia did OK in his first start in a Sox uni -- if Jose Valentin doesn't blow a possible double play ball, the score ends up being 9-4 Sox. Shingo gave up his first run in over 26 IP tonight, on a pounded Joe Mauer dinger.

Sox are currently up 1 game on the Twins, so no complaints here...

Ouch...should of had him on the bench for my fantasy team.

Garland and co. give up 32 in a double header.

Buehrle gives up zero in eight innings the next day.

KEEP UP THE RESISTANCE, MR. WILLIAMS.

Four-year extension, apparently.

sucker's deal

It's better than the Burnett & Zito & Schmidt deals, tho. Which is, um, setting the bar pretty low @ this point.

During a 58-game stretch, White Sox relievers posted a 3-13 record and a 7.52 earned-run average.

“I’m not calling them losers, but they’re not ready to win,” Guillen sniffed.

“It gets to the point where you just laugh,” White Sox starter Mark Buehrle said. “Knowing Kenny, I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole bullpen goes. They need to ship some guys out soon.”

That gets a Young Jeezy "Daaaaayyyummmmmm!"

I wish someone would YouTube Uribe showing up the Tigers prior to his fly ball landing well in front of the fence for a routine out.

I loves me a classic pitchers duel, and we've got one going on, but these WGN assholes make me wanna die. Dude's extended riff on Ty Cobb's penmanship was, uh, really something.

a rematch of a pretty good pitchers duel at that!

Steve Stone in the booth with the Hawkeroo tonite! I think I could get used to this!

One minute, Guillen wondered why "people thought I was going to take my shirt off and go butt naked on Michigan Avenue" during the White Sox's victory parade, and the next, when it was suggested that Guillen leave it all and retire to his native Venezuela and get fat and happy, he scoffed.

"Because," Guillen explained, "my wife, when I have sex with her, wants to feel a good-looking man."

i was looking for the chisox thread! doesnt jenks have some impressive streak right now? does anyone care, y/n?

I wonder how many Major Leaguer father/Famous Artist son combos there have been in baseball history:
