I guarentee you that Granderson wont be better than Crawford. Plus you are also comparing someone who dont make that much to Crawford, so dont know why you said that about my comment. Wasnt saying to trade Thames for Crawford. Was just saying Thames isnt anything to write home about. I mean he is having a decent year so far, but I highly doubt it will last. Also Crawford isnt that old and has many years left in him. So would be good pick up for Detriot if they went that route. But last time I seen them talking about Crawford, he didnt want to leave TB. I guess he has really made a home there and likes to play for a **** a-s-s team. Then again TB has some talented offensive players, just there pitching sucks a-s-s besides Kazmir.

I know I was away for a day or so, so I thought I'd make one little response to your response from Sunday. I know you and Teebone have beat this horse to death but I just want to know how you know Granderson will NOT be better than Crawford.?? I know I'm premature with saying what I said because Granderson is still new and you never know what is going to happen. But if what Granderson is doing now is ANY indication of what his career is going to be then he will actually be MUCH, MUCH better then Crawford will be. Just look at the numbers that Curtis has so far and compare them to Crawford's yearly averages in MOST of the stats. You'll see if Granderson stays steady and matures to get even better there is NO contest who will be the better all around player.

There I said my piece and we can let the rest of the season play out and compare their numbers at the end of reg. season.

That is because he is an *******. He is arrogant and I think he wants the rivalry between the Sox and Tigers to be UGLY so he figures not picking Leyland will fuel the fire. Atleast thats what I get out of it, but you never really know with Ozzie now do we??

alright, i know im a white sox fan...but what has ozzie done thats soooo bad...they are blowing everything way out of proportion....so he made his pitcher peg someone....its part of the frickin game!! every coach has done it several times...it to protect your team. and also...that game this happened, we werent the first one to peg someone, we were on the retaliating end, and thats why he got called out on it. There is nothing wrong with that, as i said, its part of the game. And ok, so he called one of the reporters a ***...but does anyone know the history of this guy? He NEVER goes to the Sox game, yet he writes about them all the time, and most of what he writes is bashing the team. He always makes comment to the owner of the team...in which he has no business doing because he doesnt do anything wrong, he doesnt talk trash about him, all he does is good things for the team.

dude you can't go in public and call people ***'s, especially when you are the manager of the team. yes hitting other players is part of the game, but thuggory isn't. sending in a goon from your bullpen is not good sportsmanship.

tigers win again. granderson is up to 299 now. couple hits and rbi's. once he matures his strikeouts will go down. scored to runs and magglio only had 1 rbi and no hits. shows how balanced this tigers squad is. hell the number 9 hitter leads the team in home runs

I haven't gone into detail about the Mariotti thing. All I know is there is always going to be sports writers and NO ONE will like what all of them have to say. A manager with his head on straight knows this and just ignores it when they hear something they do not like. Ozzie won a championship last year so why should he care what anyone says about his style of management.?? Instead he decides to publicly call him a fag. That didn't make Mariotti look bad, it made HIMSELF look bad and not to mention the whole org look bad. He's a loud mouth and he's arrogant but he's also a very good manager and I will NOT dispute that. But right now he thinks he can do whatever he wants and say whatever he wants just because he won a championship. There is more to baseball then just winning. There is also playing the game the right way and not stealing signals from the bullpen with a camera. There is having the respect of your peers throughout the league which Ozzie doesn't seem to care anything about. With all that being said the man is a loudmouthed *******. PERIOD.

Anyone see the minor league manager that went apeshit and dove into 2nd base, covered home plate with dirt, washed off home plate with water, and began to pretend he was an umpire and call balls and strikes?

Guy deserves an academy award //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Have any proof?? If not then STFU about Pujols. Just because he's the best hitter in baseball and he's NOT a member of the White Sox doesn't mean he was on steroids. Wow, you Sox fans can be assholes.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
