White Sox Stealing Signs?

with ozzie as head coach of the sox,,,,,,,you can never count out anything

Is there a rule against stealing signs? There should be a rule against allowing the other team to steal your signs.

Rocky,

What are you talkin' about???? Reyes had a no hitter until Thome jacked one, the only hit the Sox had and if they were... Ty Cobb would have been proud! I love Ozzie but you are giving him way too much credit.

I remember for years hearing various announcers credit White Sox bench coach Joe Nossek with being the best in the biz at stealing signs. Believe he retired a while back.
Who knows if some signs were being stolen? I doubt the Cards' wouldn't have caught on earlier. I know Mulder was hurting (low 80's) and went on dl with shoulder issue.
Smokey, good to see you around again - hope all is well with JF.

Mulder and Marquis just plain STUNK UP THE PLACE.

Reyes...only his 2nd start in the big leagues...Sox didn't have a good scouting report. They'll do better next time when they figure out his change up.

Sox don't have to steal anything from anyone.

WSChamps again in 2006.

Deal with it.

BEEN


I would not count on it and they have a new manager by the end of the year to boot

Beenthere,

It is going to be a NY Mets - Chicago White Sox World Series.

Prediction:

Game 1 - Mets 12 White Sox 1
Game 2 - Mets 16 White Sox 1
Game 3 - Mets 26 White Sox 1
Game 4 - Mets 38 White Sox 0

Meet the Mets!

The argument by the cardinals was not that the white sox stole signs from the coaches but it was that the white sox used technology (cameras in center field) to get the signs from the catcher and relay them........personally i dont know how you would do that in enough time to get it to the hitter but this is the argument from the cardinals......i dont have a problem with picking off signs from the dugout by reading the coach or peeking in on your lead from first or second.....(you also need to watch 1st and 3rd base coaches from peeking as they take their stance near the line)......but i do have a problem with using technology if that is indeed what took place

And they also said that the reason reyes had his no hitter till the seventh and he only allowed one hit was because before that game they decided to change their signs.......personally i think its just an excuse but who knows

Beenthere,

I have a potential bet for you.

Re: Mets vs White Sox.

Are you interested? It involves hot dogs and Cokes.

Man oh Man can we have a party in the parking lot--- Its me and you and Been can bring Soxnole---that way it is all even up as they cry in their tea cups after Pedro beats Contreras in Game 7--1-0

Game 7?

No way.

I figure at around the time Game 7 would have been played - Soxnole and Beenthere will be busy Fedexing massive amounts of Hotdogs (and Cokes) to us.

Meet the Mets - Greet the Mets!!!

its...Happy to wager a coke and hot dog for each game.

My prediction of the game scores:

White Sox 87 Met 0
White Sox 236 Mets 1
White Sox 841 Mets 2
White Sox 2 Mets 0 (forfeit)

David Wright carries the white/black/latin/yellow/red (just to be politically correct) surrender flag around the diamond.

It is easy to steal signs given in by coaches or pick them off with a runner on second. In the 3rd game molina was giving alot of signs he would go through touching different parts of the body & then go through a number of finger signs all with no one one base.

The way it seems to me is that signs dont get picked off too often in the mlb.

Beenthere,

Here is my proposal assuming the Mets and White Sox meet in the World Series.

If the Mets win:

1) I get 12 hot dogs for the World Series victory.
2) TrHit gets a specially made 4 pound Hot Dog - fedexed to his home.
3) TR and I each get 2 cans of Coke.
4) "Hot Dog bonus". We take the total run differential in the series - and you match each run with another hot dog for Tr and I. If the White Sox have more runs in the series - but lose the series - you dont have to send a 4 pound hot dog to TR.
5) I get 25 tabs of Alka Seltzer.

Your turn - That is my offer.

Sign stealing debates have been swirling around the WS for a while, either by them or against them. If there is any indication that it's being assisted by technology, that's bush. Done the old-fashioned way, it's irritating, but a part of the game that has to be dealt with.

However, Muldar was throwing them (blank) high and down mainstreet....don't need to know what's coming to hit that.

O- I love the way you phrased that.

Perhaps a little rawhide heat in the backside cures the desire to steal signs.

LOL

Exactly, its...and I know a catcher who takes fiendish delight in making the batter aware of that eventuality!

Beenthere,

I take it that you are hesitating on the proposed bet.

If I were a White Sox fan - I would hesitate too.



MEET THE METS,
MEET THE METS,
Step right up and greet the Mets!
Bring your kiddies,
bring your wife;
Guaranteed to have the time of your life
because the Mets are really sockin’ the ball; knocking those home runs over the wall!
East side,
West side,
everybody’s coming down
to meet the M-E-T-S Mets of New York town!

its...Right here with you.

If the Mets make it, we'll go from there.

White Sox, again, in 2006.

All they (White Sox) need is a journeyman centerfielder.

Beenthere,

Thats a deal. We can wait and see.

In the meantime - may I recommend a couple of Steve Phillips "blasts from the past" for that centerfield position.

1) Mo Vaughn. I still think he can make the switch from 1B to CF.

2) Joe McEwing - Cant play a lick of outfield - but still has pop in the bat.

3) Jeremy Burnitz - yes - a fine choice indeed.

4) Roberto Alomar - a sleeper.

Pay anyone of them $10,000,000 for the remainder of the season - and I think the Sox may make it to Shea.

And a half way decent left fielder.

The mets would need a month in a real league to seriously contend with the World Champuion's!

mark this down, they both wont make it past the CS. haha go A's!!

The Sox have to get through some good AL teams in the playoffs, beginning with the Red Sox or Yankees and then the Tigers.

And what if they don't get that CF that they need? The Tigers don't have those needs.

We do not need a CF.

The tigers need to play 90 more games in the fashion they have played so far.

I seriously doubt that will happen.

Remember grateful...The Sox are the CHAMPS...The Tigers, Red Sox, etc. have to go through the Sox, not vice-versa. The Sox now know how to win in the play-offs, most of the Tigers haven't experienced that yet.

and....maybe they won't get the chance to experience the PO's!

soxnole......I only mentioned the Sox CF situation because Beenthere has said a few times that the Sox need a journeyman CF......

mykla......the Sox were the 2005 World Champions.....my hat is off to them for that......but this is 2006 now!! The World Champion of 2006 has not yet been decided on the field. It certainly isn't going to be decided on a website.

The Tigers have some team members with legitimate World Series experience.......

And it is possible that the 2006 White Sox won't get the playoff experience in 2006. It is entirely possible.
