We're on. Find me a post from March that shows me you had the White Sox winning 90 games and the AL Central


You do and I'll add "Once a Cubs fan always a Cubs " to my sig.

You don't, and you add

"I'm a pathetic windsock and am not worthy or rooting for the White Sox because I quit on them in June"

Both a verbatim. No playing with words.

Sigs stay through World Series

Sound good?



No your sig will say- I'm a pathetic Cub fan that jumped ship to the mighty White Sox and I am not worthy of rooting for any baseball team because once a traitor always a traitor. Thank goodness my man love for Kenny Williams cannot be denied.

It stays until the end of the year. And proof of that post will be from February


You said March.

No deal unless the post is from March......or are you going to wuss out on it?



Nice try. Well at least you know I picked them to win 90 games and the division back in February. Sorry- I do not retain my posts to memory.

I suggest we go our separate ways now. I really don't care to associate with a racist, quitter, wussy, windsocks any more than I need to.

Is that why you stalk me at every post I make? You serve the purpose of trying to annoy people you disagree with but you and I know that you are just a little man. You choose to associate with me because little boys that hide behind keyboards hate to take a beating. You will be back again and again. I will wait here for you to prove that I am a racist, a quitter, a windsock a wussy. You were challenged and you tried to use deception. Deep down you know that all of these fine qualities that you attempt to attribute to me are really the weaknesses of your own life. Run along now...

I said the possibility is there that you are. A lot different than actually calling you a racist. But thanks for helping confirm the "not very bright" part of my comments.

Actually you are not very bright. Making assumptions and using slander is cause for litigation. By associating my name to racism you have stepped over that line. I certainly would not pursue anything based on the fact that we are using alias accounts here but you might want to be careful when tossing this around.


FYI: slander is verbal whereas it is called libel when written/publilshed. Also, opinions are not defamatory.

I don't get why Limp is mad that Power cursed out this team when they were losing. Ever poster in this thread has talked #### about the players and the team when they don't perform. There's no problem with that.

I don't get why Power cares that Limp hasn't been a sox fan his whole life.

Proves more than ever that if you could lollipop this guy you would do it in a second


I'd lollipop Kenny Williams. He's damn good and does it with a payroll lower than alot of the competition.



The only team in the playoffs with a higher payroll are the Red Sux.


Factor in buying out contracts(ie Phillies money to Thome) and the Cubs, Dodgers, and Angels leap the White Sox. Factor this in for non-playoff teams you get the Mariners to go along with Yanks, Mets, and Tigers.

The Sox were able to put a Central Divison victory without high priced players due to injury, Jose Contreras, Joe Crede, and Linebrinck for a period of time. Thanks to acquring men like Alexi Rameriz at just over 1 million and Gavin Floyd, Carlos Quentin(MVP lost for last month) and John Danks all under 1 mil. Jenks under 1 mil too but they got him before kenny i think.

Frankly- I post up here and the guy follows me around like a gnat. I don't post here and he will send me a PM out of the blue. The dude is a freaking creep. I can care less if the guy is a Sox fan. What difference does any of it make. If people don't want to read it- use the ignore feature. There are people on this board that just like to stir the pot because they have nothing else in their pathetic lives. Myself- I ignore most of it but when someone wants to take a stupid shot at me I will take one back. Limp got his knickers in a knot because I called Kenny Williams out for the team sucking last year. I enjoyed the banter but the next thing I get are PMs out of the blue or the creep follows me around from thread to thread taking his shots. Case in point. Go to the Sox vs. TB thread. I post an opinion on the series an he takes a shot at me. I take a shot back and then others get pissed off. Like I said- I will take a blast at others that want a battle. A guy like Fuller- I know it is all fun ball busting. A guy like Limp- he is a freaking creep.

Don't know, and to be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about him at this point. I really liked what he did during the season this year as he always seemed to step in and give the team a lift (Cubs series, Grand Slam against Detroit) but he has been pretty awful as of late. The last few games of the season he left WAY too many guys on base. I'm not necessarily dying to see Swisher out there either, so I don't know what Ozzie is going to do.

If the past is any indication, he'll keep the same lineup that got him here.

OC and Wise at the top doesn't do it for me but what are better options. Why not the Missile leading off. More at bats and speed at the top.

Too free swinging?

Last time he lead off he went 4-5 coffee.gif

I love him up there, but he doesn't take any walks.

And wtf was OC doing yesterday?
TitusIII
Q 'aint coming back, nor should he. Just don't think playing around with a bum wrist would be a good thing for what should be a long/excellent career on the South Side, especially considering how violent/poweful Quentin's swing is...

Even if the Sox get swept, I like the pitching staff Kenny Williams has put together for the long haul Floyd/Burls/Danks gives them a 80+ win team for the next 5 years, and having a MVP candidate like Quentin(plus a potential stud in Alexei) in the lineup makes them scary. It will not take much to get this team back to the '05 level.
Bluesbomber
I really liked Lance Broadway in his spot start. I think he will be a nice 4-5 guy in the rotation .

Most def, if one of Broadway/Richard starts to realize their potential next season, and Contreras gives the Sox 20 solid starts, things are looking very bright on the SouthSide. Dump Javy Vasquez to the Steinbrenner of the Korean League, and I'll be in heaven.

Bring in a power hitting 3rd baseman or Figgins, move Uribe back to the bench, and hope Swisher can provide something. Of course injuries can de-rail the best of plans, but I'm expecting 90 wins out of this bunch next season.
Bluesbomber
Anderson in center and Swish in the 2 hole tonite. OC and Swish need to set the table for the middle of the order. Go Sox.

this team sucks. no fundamental baseball whatsoever.

Thome pops up with two on and no one out. Way to move them over.

if we happen to get out of this series, it will be a gift. Right now, I see the Rays in 4.

That is what is so frustrating. Looking at this team just makes you shake your head.... Konerko, Dye, Thome, Griffey... all great players at one time or another. But when it comes down to it, no fundamentals, the pitching has carried them with Alexei and Carlos. Amazing to think where they WOULD have finished without Danks, Floyd, Quentin, and Ramirez.

Awesome job by Danks yesterday.

Regarding the homerun Upton just hit, WHERE THE #### was the 1-1 curveball he threw?

Tampa Bay is the better team. More balance, better pitching and better "small ball."

I'd like to say it was a good run for the White Sox, but they never reached their full potential this year. They never had all cylinders pumping at the same time. I'd really like to see Griffey, Thome, Swisher and Konerko all gone. Start building around Alexi, Danks and CQ.

Agreed. I like the future of the pitching staff and Carlos/Alexei. If the team can dump Griffey/Konerko/Thome/Javy for some younger talent, I'll be very happy.

Get rid of those guys, move Anderson to CF full time and let him finally finish developing. Bring in Figgins to 3B, Alexi to short and Uribe back to 2nd.
Widbil83
I'm not even mad, this team was supposed to finish in 4th place. We surpassed all expectations.

And not to mention there in good shape to be a great team next year. Danks, Floyd, Quentin, Ramirez... a lot of great young players.
