Crawl out from under Ramon Ortiz's nutsack -- He had an ERA of almost 7 after the all-star break last season. He HAS an ERA of nearly 7 so far this season. His WHIP is nearly 2.00, Opponents are batting .338 against him.. We'd be better off running out one of Nukes T-ball stands every 5 days than making some ridiculous deal for Ramon Ortiz. David Ortiz can outpitch this guy.

He was sacked cuz he was searchin' for some snoggin.

Where have I heard this before? --- Oh yeah it's been in my signature for 3 days.

"The amount is large"

Yeah but this is the type of negative news that the Trib would love to be reporting... Think about it for a second. You said yourself mets fans would kill for Ordonez. All Newday is doing is pandering to those Mets fans, thier core readership, through the veil of "inside sources" in order to sell papers. There is a reason it hasn't been reported by a Chicago paper. There is a reason that most hear are skeptical that Maggs would turn down such a deal, or even that the Sox would offer it in the first place. Abuot the only thing that could be correct from the Newday arcticle is that Contract talks have broken down.

We drafted that guy -- I remind you that he wanted even less to do with the White Sox organization.

You learn something new every day. Thanks

That was a sweet 3 run homer by Jose...er um .. Valentine

If you clear waivers once, you don't have to clear them for the rest of the season?

I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that would need his services, but you never know who will get injured between now and when he is sent back down(june 12)

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't Dransfeldt have to clear waivers when he is sent back down again because he is out of options?

I think Munoz has the chance to do some really special things for this organization. He nearly made the club last season, after completely dominating in winterball. He's made a seamless conversion to Starting, even though it was initially supposed to be so he wouldn't rely on his curve as much. His success as a starter only increases his value to the Organization. He should be fixture of the Sox Pitching staff for years to come, in whatever role they choose for him. Grilli is a full 3 years older than Garland, and is a reclaimation project after being injured and then cast off from two separate organizations. He's coming of injuries/surgery, and doesn't have the same "potential" he once did. Garland at only 24 years old, in his 4th full year in the bigs, who was once the youngest pitcher in the majors, clearly still has more upside.

WTF -- Rauch is an AMERICAN -- There's no need to wish death on him just because you feel inadequate.

Benson's not one of them -- Not at his salary, not without getting a low-level prospect in return.

no.

I was in the camp who thought he was being traded before he would ever see a White Sox Uniform this season, So the fact that he saw action today came as a surprise to me. I, for one, love the message that this sends to others in the organization. We don't want guys in our clubhouse who don't want to be here. If you don't want to be here, you'll be shown the door. I know both Kelly Wunch and Rauch feel as if they are on thier way out of town, and it's probably true. I want a team full of guys who play hard because they like being here.

Including today, I can remember him getting picked off 4 times -- 3 at first, and today at second with the bases loaded -- He might have been picked off one more time than that though.

Carlos now batting .103 w/RISP, 2out.

It was a homerun. Even is blind mouse find a piece of cheese every once in a while. Reed with a HR

He's earned the break... Way to Go Ozzie -- You've been a grat manager so far this season.

He's been quoted himself as saying he's throwing Junk right now.... I may be drunk but I know I used the words "right Now" --- He knows he's not in top condition, he's been injusred for quite a while, he does not make significant controbutions to this team until he is completely healthy and through throwing "junk"
