The 2005 Chicago White Sox will........

[mnvikingsfreak]

Windy city remember one thing the last time the white sux won a world series was 1917 back when babe ruth was still with the red sox 88 years of disapointment will make anyone delusional like yourself P.S. YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD TOO!

[buzzsaw]

The White Sox will win it all, they are the best team ever!!

[Willy]

HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Good one!!

[MrSenarighi]

Buzzsaw, I am just glad that you are the one with all the creative tech skills.

[buzzsaw]

Hey Windy... How'd your Sux do in the opener against the Devil Ray team that the Twins just swept in grand fashion? Didn't they get enough free passes late in the game to win again? I wouldn't give you grief if you lost to a respectable team over .500 But my goodness... Tampa bay!! It's Okay TB is Ok and your decline may have begun aboout a month before I expected it to!

[fishyguy]

The only thing that hurts when you yap as much as Windy is that when your team fails you really don't have anywhere to go without contradicting yourself or making another weak argument.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Hey Buzz,

All your "punch and judy" hitters could muster was three measly hits and ZERO runs against a guy with almost 5.00 ERA! At least my beloved Pale Hose actually took the lead in the game, again setting a record in baseball for having held the lead in EVERY GAME THIS YEAR. People in glass houses, my friend. YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD....YES!

Geez your really "fishing" now. Just take the loss and suck it in. You don't have to throw out a totally meaningless stat like "setting a record in baseball for having held the lead in EVERY GAME THIS YEAR". Get real, that doesn't mean a darn thing and you make yourself look like a real fool. Just crack me up. I spose if you lose tonight you will tell us, well we had more guys with facial hair than the other team and are leading the league in facial hair. Get Real buddy.

[rundrave]

geez buzz, fishing opener really got you not working at all this week lol

My only obvservation to make from all those stats, and man was that alot, makes me feel a little better about windy ripping on rincon.

Most of the sox batting records were set by Albert "CORKED BAT" Belle, now that guy was a winner, says alot for your orginaztion windy.

Put that on the board!

[Dotch]

Just happened to be sitting on the throne, thinking about the Sox and ran across an article written by Kevin Cook in an old issue of my favorite sports mag, Playboy, May 1994 to be exact. You know, the one with Elle McPherson on the cover...lol! The article details Cook's picks for the season. He picked Chicago to win the Central and the AL but was smart enough to know they couldn't best the Braves in the Series. Of particular interest were his comments on the American League Central. It read:

"After smoking to a 49 - 29 record in the second half of 1993 only to flame out in the playoffs, the White Sox return to dominate the Central. Too bad this team keeps getting distracted by sideshows. Last spring it was Bo Jackson's hip. So Frank Thomas used his big hurtful swing to hit .317 with 41 homers and 128 RBIs, slugging .607 (slugging percentages over .600 are Ruthian). But then his .353 postseason was lost amid Air Michael's retirement, the news of which was leaked during an ALCS game at Comiskey. Not content with that, Jordan may try to eclipse the spring training sun in his attempt to join the Sox.

Forget Dare Jordan. He has as much chance of actually making the club as does Madonna, who has more baseball experience. Focus on Thomas and Chicago's young pitchers. Even if owner Jerry reinsdorf refuses to pay Jack McDowell $6.5 mil a year and deals him instead, the Sox are dangerously armed. Wilson Alvarez, 24, fulfilled his promise and has a decade left in his left arm. Alex Fernandez, 24, ditto in his right. Late-maturing closer Roberto Hernandez, 29, saved 38 games a year ago and ought to add 10 more to that total this year. This wondrous crew has been overshadowed by Black Jack (42 - 20 over two years). There's also the what's-in-a-name similarity of Alvarez, Fernandez and Hernandez, which may confuse some fans. Fortunately for the Sox, they confuse batters, too.

In a full season Jason Bere, 23, should win more than 12 games. If McDowell departs or anyone else falters, manager Gene Lamont can call on any of three rookie starters who are almost as precocious as Bere.

With that much pitching Chicago could win with an attack of Thomas and the eight dwarfs. In fact, there are only two in the lineup: 5'8" Tim Raines and 5'8" Joey Cora, who hit a combined .284 with 170 runs and 41 steals. Center fielder Lance Johnson batted .311, swiped 35 more and was thrown out just seven times. Robin Ventura played a flawless third and supported Thomas with 22 homers and 94 RBIs; he earned his new nickname, the Little Hurt, by losing a brawl to Nolan Ryan. Beside him, Ozzie Guillen is steady at short. Ron Karkovice is the only catcher in either league who nails nails more than half the runners who try to steal on him. Now add DH Julio Franco (.289, 14 homers, 84 RBIs for Texas) to bat behind Thomas. And outfielder Darrin Jackson, a good bat and a great glove, will prove to be a wise signing.

Weaknesses? It won't help the Sox to have a basketball player screwing around in their batting cage, stealing their thunder. And it hurts their feelings that they sell fewer tickets than the uptown Cubs. Both troubles will end soon."

Tsk, tsk, tsk...according to buzz's stats, doesn't look like they even made the playoffs that year. Guess the more things change, the more they stay the same. (watching as the Sox circle the stool and head down the pipe)

[james_walleye]

Windy dude, your sux are winning this year by playing like the twins do!! They are playing the punch and judy bit this year man.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Hey Buzz,

Try a little Alka Seltzer after digesting the entire MLB record book, a little too much time on your hands there, my man. You know how when you were a little kid and you liked one of the girls in your class but you made fun of her so she didn't know you liked her? Things that make you go hmmmm.

News Flash...BUZZ IS A CLOSET PALE HOSE LOVER. The only thing I know about the Twinks is their stadium is horrible and Harmon Killebrew was fat. Other than that, I guess the rest. YOU CAN PUT IT ON THE BOARD....YES!

[buzzsaw]

Windy, I see your computer savvy is close to the best! It's called "cut and paste" it takes seconds. Your kinda like the guy that everybody came up to from behind and knocked the books out of your hands because you were such a great guy!

[rundrave]

I agree the dome is horrible,

but then, the dome draws more fans than your newly remodeled ballpark? That says alot for the white sox fans, wannabe new stadium, wannabe first place team, still cant draw the number of fans the twins do.

[james_walleye]

"you can put it on the board...yes". I cant believe anyone would quote Stinky and Duck, what a terrible broadcast team. The only the the sux ever put on the board is a big crapping down the leg.

[friendlyfisher]

OH NO, it looks like Tampa Bay has come from behind and beat the white sux.

Hey, least chicago had the lead at one point. Windpipe can still say " we have had the lead in every game". Meanwhile the sux might get swept by the D Rays. Thats funny. ff

This is coming from the guy who's team once employed a lard a$$ in Greg Luzinski and put him in shorts to play the game.

[buzzsaw]

Something called "Cantu" goes yard on the White Sux bullpen to go up two games to none in that series and you can put that on the board Windy beyaaa

[friendlyfisher]

Buzz, Canwho hit a homerun?

Takatsu is not the greatest closer in the world.

Chicago would be beter having something called D. Hermanson do the save work. ff
