"and he's a damn sellout."

He's right -- It's VERY un-White Sock to sell out ...... Oh hey, don't forget to put Joe Jackson and Eddie Cicotte on the team.


PS -- You just got 'MaggliOwn3d' ... haha just kiddin

Well done. Savage post.

Why exactly is Ray Durham on the White Sox bench?  I think 2 of the 4 bench spots for light hitting second basemen is a bit overkill.  If you have to include another light hitting middle infielder, you always have HOF Luis Aparicio over Durham. 

Man, I'm trying my best to find a replacement for Durham/Aparicio - for a franchise that's been around as long as the Sox have, they have a BUTT AWFUL history of worthwhile outfielders.  Stupid Dryden always being right...

I would say Kittle for the name recognition, but he only played 4.5 years with the Sox.  Dick Allen even less.  Greg Luzinski not too long either.   Jim Landis maybe?  Bill Melton? 

How can a franchise that's been around for so long have so few notable batters?  Simply pathetic...

Hal McRae is WAY better than Balboni.

[sfbennett1]

Haha yeah, I didn't mean Balboni was better than McRae ... but as an RBI PLAYER, coming off the bench, would you rather have .332 8 HR, or .243 36 HR? Personally I'd take Balboni on my bench (obviously not in real baseball).

if you knew the sox history, or even watched Eight Men Out, you would know that Cicotte was being hamstrung by Comiskey.

Shoeless Joe most likely wasn't even involved with throwing the series.

I don't do that gay internet slang "owned" BS - but you just got shown up.

Haha I was just jokin around man - I can't have ONE White Sox selling out joke?? But -- I don't think you can say that he "most likely wasn't involved" ...

< -- anyone looking for the regular topic skip this part -- >

He admitted to agreeing to fix the series, he knew the other guys were fixing the series ... He hit .375 overall, but in the first five games of the series he came to the plate 7 times with men on base, a total of 10 men in scoring position, and collected 1 hit, 0 RBI ... He later admitted to playing poorly in the field to allow the Reds to score more runs; 3-4 of these plays are well documented.  He did pick it up in games 6/7 (the 2 games that all of the Black Sox were trying to win), and from all that I've read he was probably the LEAST guilty of the fixers, but he was most definitely involved. Cicotte was getting jobed by the owner but he STILL threw the World Series -- big no no.

Can players be on more than one team? Albert Belle is on the AL team but in '98 with the Sox he hit .328 with 49 homers. That should edge Durham off the bench.

And you see my problem.  Durham is actually one of the best players in team history, and played a lot of games for the Sox (top 10 all time, if I recall).  There isn't anyone else with meaningful service time who doesn't suck.  Aparicio, though a worthy HOFer, couldn't hit worth shit.  Check out his OPS+ by season - it's kind of sad, really.
