QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 06:59 PM) I miss the Metrodome and Hawk's constant blaming the stadium for the Sox playing poorly against the Twins. It actually was one of the reasons. The Sox sucked in that dome.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 05:18 PM) Actually Manny was given credit on Soxtalk for a couple of HRs other players hit. As far as Youkilis, its pretty rare a guy who is being paid more by a team that he doesn't play for than by the team he plays for, contributes much. He obviously doesn't have to do much to be an upgrade, but anyone thinking Youkilis hopped in a time machine and its 2008 again, will probably be dissappointed. Manny getting credit for that was annoying. He was one of the biggest White Sox busts of all time. Good comment about what to expect out of Youk. I'm thinking if Youk wants to play in the postseason, he'll help our White Sox get there. It's worth a gamble, cause Lilly and Zach suck. QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 05:36 PM) So reading through the thread I see a few people that seem sure he's still not healthy...what makes you think that? He's already been to the DL and has came off, is it because back problems are always a lingering problem?? What are the chances its not fluff when he says he feels great?? He is 5 for 11 over the last week so maybe its true. We're just a little concerned cause of Crede/Morel. The dirt in the 3B area at the Cell is kinda hard apparently.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 06:49 AM) 1) BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL TO NEGOTIATE WITH A SEPARATE TEAM WHEN CURRENTLY EMPLOYED If it is illegal, then why didn't baseball reprimand Ozzie. Is there proof? 2) COOP NEGOTIATED WITH HIS OWN BOSS Coop did it all behind his other boss' back. ozzie.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 07:26 PM) Inconsistent is not the same thing as dysfunctional. And if Ozzie bled White Sox red, he wouldn't have negotiated with Marlins green during the season. Who cares if he negotiated at the end of a horrific season? Coop also negotiated behind Ozzie's back. Why is Ozzie the one villain on a team full of villains last year. KW is no saint. Coop was a snake. So what if Ozzie was talking to Miami. Most of you wanted him gone, he sped up that process. It's not like our team was doing anything. QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 25, 2012 -> 12:18 AM) Nah, f*** that guy. Wow. A WS winning manager. OUR WS winning manager and you can't tip your cap and wish him well. Man.

Good trade. We get a name player in Youk and the Sox tell the baseball world and their fanbase they are trying to win. We give up nobodies in Stewart and Lilly. Stewart is absolutely dreadful and even if he gets hot for a couple starts for some reason, he will not sustain it. Lilly has been a White Sox a long time now and simply hasn't looked like an everyday player. If he becomes a star, good for him but he's shown no signs of that. Hudson now becomes our seldom used sub. I would think he will hate that role. Wonder if we'll try to deal him. Reading about Youk's back issues ... wouldn't that be wild if he's yet another third baseman to have back troubles with the White Sox? If Youk sucks, he's no worse than Hudson/Morel. If he does well, he could help us win this lousy division. KW will not be crucified for this deal no matter what happens.

Very smart to bring Reed in. He's our only truly reliable reliever. Gives Sox a prayer of winning it in the ninth before extra innings.

Sox at home ... blah. Can't see a W coming out of this. That'd mean two walkoff wins in the same season. We already got our one.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 09:18 PM) i hope we didn't give up anything of value for Youk.. ugh. I guarantee you KW will grossly overpay for the guy if we get him. His track record says OVERPAY.

No squeeze bunt here. Please no.

DeAza is so fast. He made it to second easily on that? Wow.

That sucked big time. Need a gapper or we lose.

A walk would be special here.

Good pick by Dunn! Huge. Oops I thought it bounced.

That Geiko commercial with the possum is kinda creepy in this day and age. The dad messing with his kids like that is a no no.

I don't think we are gonna score today. Damn.

AJ shoulda sprayed that one to left.

QUOTE (MAX @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) HE GAWN. Hawk is not bad in small doses. Hawk is great in all doses.

If Q gets out of this inning can we assume he is a helluva pitcher? He's been pretty good.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 08:49 PM) For as clutch as Konerko was to start the year, he's been equally as bad in the clutch of late. He really needs a few days off to have his wrist recover. It's why guys don't hit .375. He had to come back to earth and he has thudded.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 07:18 PM) Again our starter pitches a shut out and again our offense can't capitalize. This is getting old. Quintana deserves a win. Our offense blows. Are we gonna lose another home series? Cmon Adam.

Nice play by Hudson. If Sox acquire Youk, will Hudson just be cut? No need for him at all, then.

Nice job by Rios climbing the wall. Excellent great catch. Cmon Sox, get some runs for Quintana.

Did anybody understand what Dick Allen was talking about there? Great to hear how happy he is to be there, however, but that was crazy stuff.

Seems like in crucial situations like that Adam would do whatever he could to not hit into the shift. But, he is who he is. Dead pull hitter.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:05 PM) Moyer in the AL is not help, it is lighter fluid. No thanks. Why does everybody act like the AL is so superior? Who has been winning the WS lately? Who is kicking the Sox ass this season?? The NL. I'd sign him. Why not?
