There. I participated in a community something. And I'm hoping for another dramatic finish!! Tallest midget takes all!
...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.
i tagged everyone with 81 wins except the Royals
I can lead you to 4 Wisdom, but I can't free your brain from the evil of Punto.
Expecting 100 wins from the Royals, are we?
you’re nuts man, completely nuts.
You are right. But larry is actually a prick too.

I participated.
I don’t have any basis for any of the numbers, but I participated none the less.

how are those two things related?

Really OT, but whatever
But Frank Thomas was always his own guy, he always lived by some sort of code that wasn’t especially clear to anyone but him.
Wow. Cop was quite a douche.
So many cops I’ve met are on a power trip and are more interested in showing off their muscle than actually trying to serve the community. Seems like they want to just prove a point.
I will say though that Moats was initially unco-operative and probably should have done things differently. I doubt I would have been able to do any better though giving the circumstances.

This one's fun
I’m still on the Us and MN at the top bandwagon, but I’m curious to see how everyone shakes out. I know there’s a lot of Indians love here.
Wow
That is up straight garbage. Do people actually take that site seriously?
I like how they describe Jenks as “shaky”.
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
up straight
jesus

There's a guy over there named "toonsterwu."
It’s like a hybrid of our OPOS and POHS.

No, it wasn't the off-season because it was established when Toonder was still here...

I thought he was around at the end of the season...
he commented in november.
/didn’t realize he was ‘missing’
Rear-view mirror stuff.
He’s a big boy, and so are we. If he wants in, he’ll come on by. If not, we move on.
Sweet, I better start upping the suck.

I, for one, am glad Cubs site moderator has decided the Sox won't be any good
No point in paying attention now. When a Cubs fan predicts something, it’s gold.
Confusion breeds success. If they don't know each other, opponents can't have strategy. GENIUS.

I didn't think it was that bad
Pretty much what I’ve read elsewhere regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the AL Central teams, with a bit of Cubs context given. Considering they posted it on a Cubs blog, what the hell were you expecting?
You are right. But larry is actually a prick too.

He doesn't.
He says “outside of Jenks the bullpen is shaky”.
Sweet, I better start upping the suck.

Also it seems that
the majority of his argument for his pick of Cleveland finishing first is because they added two former cubs.
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
Well those two were kind of like important
"It just occurred to me that the White Sox could win the division."

" That just makes me want to puke all over your head, sir."
yeah
but when you talk about Cleveland’s powerful lineup and include garko but not v-mart or shoppach, credibility does come into question
But Frank Thomas was always his own guy, he always lived by some sort of code that wasn’t especially clear to anyone but him.
it wasn't meant to be all that thorough
he was more just picking through tid bits and then giving his prediction. his actual order and number of wins isn’t that bad except for the Tigers. but let’s recall just how far off BP and such are when they predict this stuff at the beginning of the season.
really, it’s most important to assess talent as it is. talent is added and subtracted all the time in season via trades that couldn’t have been predicted.
I can lead you to 4 Wisdom, but I can't free your brain from the evil of Punto.
he's citing spring training numbers, colin. for players who are assured of making a team.
not to mention using rbi. from spring training.
to support an argument?

Al is not the first guy I would turn for good analysis, no.

Important enough
To shoot them from third last year to first this year? Granted they did look good at the end of the season last year.

Stroke me, stroke me...
Mr. Squire, I presume?

Squier, please
Unless you’re talking about the bass player from Yes.
You’re a music guy, you should be getting this right. ;)
I'm like a laser, six-string razor. I've got a mouth like an alligator
Yeah, I should flag myself.

think we could get anything for him?
But Frank Thomas was always his own guy, he always lived by some sort of code that wasn’t especially clear to anyone but him.
pretty much what i figured
still had to ask though

The gang is all here
For those wondering about those wide-ranging rumors regarding the White Sox possibly acquiring Melky Cabrera, Gary Matthews, Jr. or even Juan Pierre as the team’s leadoff man/center fielder, manager Ozzie Guillen seemed to squelch that talk following Thursday’s 3-1 loss to Arizona at Camelback Ranch.
“No, we’re not going [outside],” said Guillen, when asked if talk came up centering on names not in camp during the staff’s daily meetings. "I don’t want that to happen, I don’t like that to happen. If we have to go outside the organization right now, gosh, I’m not going to say we’re in trouble, but as a ballclub we have enough guys here to resolve that problem.’’
So, it looks as if the final two roster spots for position players, assuming Brian Anderson is on the roster, will come from the group of Dewayne Wise, Brent Lillibridge and Jerry Owens. At this point, the White Sox will not take on any more payroll, which rules out a number of potential outside options, unless the offering franchise picks up a bulk of the contract.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Missing a true center fielder?
We’re missing a good center fielder, not a true one.

the results of this projection should be interesting
bunch of sox homies trying to fairly predict team standings :)
we are a pretty pessimistic bunch, actually
we did this last year and were collectively more uncertain about the Sox than any other team.
I can lead you to 4 Wisdom, but I can't free your brain from the evil of Punto.
Yeah quite a contrast from Cubs fans.
It's like he's a cyborg sent from the future to draw 22 walks a season or something.

He also doesn’t care much for me, so I expect me posting on these things to piss him off.
