QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 01:29 PM) Konerko goes from 2 bad at bats to lining a ball to right center. Nobody's perfect.

With Kotsay being in every game as of late, I wonder if Ozzie was told that he will be DFA'd when Teahen comes back.

QUOTE (Hawk09 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 07:44 AM) You know, our .400 hitting over the last 16 game backup catcher who is Freddys personal catcher, Ramon Castro. Ramon has been unbelievable at the plate since May. Oh yeah. I agree. I was confused...I thought you were still referring to a left-handed bat.

Paulie recently hit his 350th career homerun. I started to think about him getting to 500, but he'd have to play at least another 4-5 years. It's possible, but who knows how his performance would be over that stretch.

QUOTE (Hawk09 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 07:12 AM) Not so sure of that. Schwerzer is pitching well of late,has a crackling fastball,and Ozzie will want a lefty bat in there. Good news? It is Ramon time....he will drop the head on that ball and hit it hard,I predict. The Guy has been unconscious. Big Game Freddie needs to find a way....no party with Miggy last nite,right? Ramon who?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) I just don't get it. He can't hit righties or lefties so why have him as a DH? Just plug in Frodo or the Tank. Hmm...that could be a good sitcom, Frodo and The Tank. Or Stealth Elf and The Tank Law and Order Elven Tank Tank the Elf Slayer Kotsay could be the annoying neighbor that always gets drunk at a party and falls off the porch.

I hope Edwin pitches a gem. A little offensive support would be nice, too.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 02:25 PM) So if nobody that age is getting a multi year deal, the key for a player is, at 29, to sign a huge, six-year deal like they do in the NBA. Right, but they'd have to hold a one hour special on ESPN announcing that they just signed a huge multi-year deal with a team.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 09:12 AM) fixed Thanks. Much better.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 09:11 AM) Dude, he flew out to the warning track. The WARNING TRACK. That earns him a week. He just missed that one, dag gummit.

If Lillibridge is sent down when Teahen returns there will be grumblings. If Viciedo is sent down when Teahen returns, this board is going to explode. In my mind, Teahen replaces Kotsay...left-handed bat and all.

Count me in, Sqwert. I can't even see the game and I know he's hitting poorly.

The Thunderbolt roller coaster at Kennywood in Pittsburgh is one of the best wooden coasters around.

I was at a party Saturday during the deadline, and a friend was constantly checking his phone for updates. By 3:30 we knew nothing else was going to happen. At that point and for the next day I was content to give KW a D+ for the deal. Swapping Hudson for Jackson seemed like an even trade (no real improvement), and for that he gets a C. But factor in the money and that drops his grade to a D. I added the plus because of the experience Jackson has. Today though, I feel a little better about it. If Coop can fix him and Jackson goes out there and pitches his ass off and helps the Sox get to the post-season, I'll be happy. Like someone else said, Coop may have very well went to KW and said that Hudson's celing is lower than we thought. And if that is the case, that's fine. The $8 million Jackson is owed next year is still a concern.

A guy is playing golf and gets to the fifth hole where he runs into an attractive woman. They decide to play together to save time. The guy hits from the white tees and the woman hits from the red tees. When they get to the turn, the woman says, "My house is right over there. What do you say we head over there and I give you a blow job." The guy immediately agrees, and they take off to her house. The guy is golfing the next week and runs into the woman again on the fifth hole. They play to the ninth again, he hitting from the white tees, she hitting from the red tees. Again she offers a blow job at the turn. And again he agrees. This goes on for about six weeks until one day the woman says, "I have a confession. I'm actually a man." The guy flies into a rage, throwing clubs and kicking the grass. "You son of a b****! All this time you've been hitting from the women's tees!"

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 03:16 PM) If somebody starts a thread, 'do you like this trade as it currently stands?' I would say, "No," for my answer. Wouldn't you all say the same? No sir, I don't like it.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 03:12 PM) He seemed like he had pretty good stuff, to me. Chances are he'll be better than Jackson IMO. Also, Clayton Richard ain't doing too bad for the Pods. Isn't Hudson a better prospect than Richard? Would you guys love to have Garland or Richard back now? Or like to have them back? Podsednik has his own guy?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:43 PM) Here's how to salvage the day. Trade Jackson and pay some of his salary to the Cubs for Lilly and Lee! How bout it. Pass me a beer, Greg.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:39 PM) So now we've flopped Jackson for Hudson. In reality that is not too bad. But ... if we trade Jackson now and don't get anything good, we have a big hole in our rotation. As of now, it's not been a horrible day trade wise. It could get bad, however, if we are stuck with Torres or somebody as No. 4 and Freddy No. 5. You don't have to worry about that. The only person Jackson will be traded for is that big powerful lefty in DC.

I was just over in the Trade Winds Forum. Saw a couple tumbleweeds roll by.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) this is funny stuff. It's mind-boggling.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:56 PM) Keith Law can go eat himself into obesity. Your original post was funnier.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) Could Dunn and the Sox be working on an extension before the trade is finalized? Wouldn't that be something? If so, and it's not a crippling extension, KW may be crowned GM of the year...or at least the day.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) Great Bernstein line: Myers-Pierzinski the ultimate jack-ass battery of all time. Maybe AJ would charge the mound if Myers shook off too many pitches.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:43 PM) @CSNChi_Beatnik: Jackson is merely the most crucial piece to securing Adam Dunn...The big fella is on his way to Chicago, friends. Who is that? Reliable?
