whats danks' ERA now?

Yep!!! That we are!!

Over 5

God forbid if any of our pitchers throw a little chin music once in a while.

ouch, dont look now but mr. danks may be passing brandon mccarthy and his 5.18 ERA by the time this game is over and mccarthy got off to a horrible start this year

Shelley?

I don't have a problem with Danks going through growing pains in his first full year with us....because, in theory, we had 4 other guys that were dependable.

What we actually have is 3 guys who are very dependable, sometimes even dominant, 1 guy who is going through growing pains that should be expected, and one s***storm of an excuse for a starting pitcher, who could be 40+ years old easy, AND is signed for 2 more years.

5.06

Contreras moved temporarily to the pen, Floyd to get his next start.

Lets see what Boone can do now. ESPN switched to the sox game since A-Rod was up so everyone can see him ground out!

If all you did was watch highlights of ARod's at bats on ESPN, you'd think the White Sox were kickin' ass!

It's about time!!!!

Well we all know we haven't done that in a while! I just hate how much attention A-Rod gets.

I don't know if Hawk realizes Egbert exists.

Tell me Ozzie isn't seriously going lefty-righty matchups in a game we are down by six runs and have shown zero life.

Embarrassing...I love it.

It's really sad that Grindy isn't playing today

He's only the best pitcher statistically in the Southern league, why would he know he exists?

We need a Carlos Zambrano to shore up our starting staff.

I would say the Charlie Haeger experience has about ran its course.

HILARIOUS

Let Uribe pitch.

Charlie Haeger...head-hunter.

Get some stones, moron. What a joke.

What happened with Haeger?

Gameday says Posada homered, then Cano was hit by the 2nd pitch and ejected.

Cano was hit with a knuckleball.

He was head hunting with 68 mph knucklers and got tossed

Hawk, shut up. Gonzalez blows.

7 hits allowed by Yankee pitching today, 6 came from left handed hitters. It's a shame Ozzie "makes the f***ing lineup" today could have been a good day for Richar to face his first major league lefty starter.

Embarassing games for the Sox...it's disgusting to see how much the talent level on the big league team sucks.

What really irks me is that KW, Ozzie, Walker, and Cooper likely won't lose their jobs this offseason.

You really believe all of them deserve to be canned?

I won't go to Soxfest this year(never has interested me) but I CAN'T WAIT to hear some of the quotes for Sox brass. Sould be an entertaining winter.

No, sorry, should have worded that better. However, I honestly think one HAS to be fired, and think that there needs to be more personnel shuffle than just that. I'm beginning to wonder how KW is going to survive another season.

Steff's going to kill them.

Another great WGN showing

If the talent on the major league team disgusts you, you should see our hitters at charlotte. I got to see them play a couple of games here against scranton when erstad and pods were there together. Has anyone seen their backup catcher Ryan Smith's career numbers? We really need some talent close to the majors and we have crap for position players anywhere higher than winston-salem. I'm in awe of all the pitching that this team constantly drafts and acquires via trades while completely ignoring trying to get an impact hitter. Paul Konerko and Jim Thome aren't getting any younger, and JD is not a long term solution.

Actually, Jim Thome is indeed getting younger. Not sure how it's happening but it is.

His mother takes good care of him.

I'd settle for KW-the record since last July 1 is on him

Which is why this upcoming offseason is incredibly important for the direction of this franchise. Yesterday's trading deadline was not a good start. We're not competing against divisional opponents with Single A pitching prospects.

Before April of 2008, Williams needs to trade several players with value -- and every prospect and/or positional player received needs to benefit this ballclub. I'm sorry for anyone who believes this is unreasonable, but that's the corner this team has back itself into.

We're void of cheap positional players, and several key components -- such as Thome, Pierzynski, Garland -- won't be here for too much longer. Replacements will be needed eventually, and I'm not exactly confident we'll produce these replacements (aside from SP).
