I like the fact we were down 4-0 in a game that we could have quit early and still took 2 of 3. We came back and then the guys picked up for Maggs who hit into that DP. I just saw the highlights on ESPN. That wasn't a bad play by Guzman on the DP of Maggs. I got to hear Hawk in the background on the ESPN highlights. He went wild. Frank's homer was so high, it was majestic. What a blast. Some of you have gotten to see some great games in person of late. Hope you've had a riot at the ballpark.

Jimenez must really be a piece of work. To come with his reputation and to continue to apparently be a cancer when he's really done nothing in his career is mind-boggling. I wonder who pulled the plug on him. KW or JM? Like many have said no matter what happens with the trades we get D'Angelo out of there.

whitesox said: " Wow, what this win must have felt like to the newbies. This should definately wake them up and show them what this team is all about. Pretty memory first game in a new uniform if you ask me. " I was thinking the same thing. And frankly it was nice two of the veteran Sox - paulie and frank - were the final heroes. Alomar and Everett can be heroes tomorrow or the next day.

Roman must be screaming so loud it's scaring the neighbors. Congrats Roman and Big Frank.

I'd give anything to hear Hawk and DJ's call and commentary on both Paul's and Frank's blasts. Must be priceless.

You've got to be s***ting me. We win. Are you telling me Frank had a 10 pitch at bat and hit the hr? He's got to be on Cloud Nine. What an at bat! Kudos to Konerko. Listen to Jim Rome tomorrow cause it'll be all about Paulie.

What a weird game.

Give the credit to Jim Rome; he gave Konerka the karma the other day. Congrats Paulie. Win it in 12 baby.

I'm talking about Maggs failing in the clutch. I'd think fans would be shocked he would not be able to hit a medium deep fly ball to win the game. I don't care if he leads the league in dps all the time. He's a clutch player. That's where the shock comes in.

The fans had to be stunned when Maggs did that. Maggis is da man normally.

Another tough loss barring a miracle. We can't seem to sweep anybody. It's impossible to believe Maggs hit into the dp.

Who'd have thunk Maggs couldn't win it right there? We had the game. I don't like our chances now with Botch comin in, do you?

I think KW is an idiot. Let's hope this trade works out. Kenny Lofton didn't do squat as a veteran presence. Ritchie, Royce C. Let's hope this one works out and these guys hit. But you gotta wait and see. Alomar's batting average sucks this season!!! And Everett is not a guaranteed stud. Let's wait and see again.

Dont call it one of the greatest days in Sox history yet. While Everett and Alomar could excel, they also could suck. I do hope they excel and we win the pennant.

It's strange to give them a list to pick from. Why didn't we just offer a trade? This isn't done often, is it?

Sure it's a concern. If he fights with Greg Walker it could hurt the progress we've made recently with guys like Rowand, but I'm stretching worrying about that. Another worrywart would say we've been winning of late and this could kill the momentum. But we still haven't been hitting even though we've been winning.

Looks like D'Angelo's attitude may really HAVE been bad. Seems like since he started making those one handed catches on double plays, Manuel got pissed. I saw him do it once on TV and it worked. The second time I saw he dropped it and Manuel was peeved. Has he been doing that a lot, or just those 2 times?

Folks I'm glad we are trying to win the pennant, but you know the Rangers are going to get some prime minor leaguers. KW is not giving up stiffs. Do you think we've become a team like the Yankees that is going to be acquiring most of our starters from other teams in the future? Cause I can guarantee you the Rangers are getting Rauch or Cotts and we will have given up some prime talent today.

Great point Jim. You gotta wonder if Aaron woulda been fine now that he's hitting and we could have kept all these prospects. Sounds like we've given up royce and cotts. Do you think we will regret these trades??

We've added carl everett and rob. alomar in one day; pretty nice. I just hope the Rangers don't get 3 Sammy Sosa type prospects from us.

I didn't get to see the game or hear much about it. To those of you who went ... did our fans give Mark B an incredible ovation at any time tonight? He is kicking some serious butt. Roman not to rub it in but do you like Mark B now? Mark B deserves some major kudos! p.s. did the fans boo or cheer my boy, Kirk Hinrich as he threw out the first pitch?

I say forget the Everett deal unless we give up nobody. He's too old.

How old is Everett? I don't want to become the Baltimore Orioles of a few years ago and have aging stiffs on the team.

Glad you guys like the trade. Hopefully it'll work out. It's really all up to Roberto because we gave up a No. 1 draft pick for him. Royce is a future star, right?

Please don't make it Lofton. You said: "Man some of you guys are really crazy. WE b**** because we dont have enough to win, and then when the GM goes out and makes a good trade, and is trying to make another, you b****. To those selected few, are you EVER happy? KW is TRYING." I don't think they were b****ing, just saying KW better not give away all our good prospects by this evening. That ain't b****ing with KW's track record. I mean Alomar's stats suck, pure and simple. Look at them. And he's 36 if he's not lying about his age. I hope it's a great trade for us. But it's OK to question KW in my opinion because KW is an idiot.
