Well I will agree with Brando on this and say that no matter how bad of a manager someone is, a true professional never quits, no matter the circumstances.

He came from Charlotte, not Birmingham. And when he gets sent back down, that's where he will go back to.

If we're going to talk about proposed changes, I'll go ahead and tell ya what should happen... (Note: I am not into hypothetical BS trades that will never happen so I will just use the goods we are provided.) Move #1: Option Timo Perez to AAA Charlotte, hope someone claims him off of waivers. If not he is our CF in Charlotte. Move #2: Purchase the contract of Jeremy Reed and place him on the Sox roster. Move #3: Option Felix Diaz to AAA Charlotte, recall Kelly Wunsch. The pitching roster would then look like this: Starters: Buehrle, Garland, Loaiza, Schoenweis, Cotts Bullpen: Politte, Adkins, Wunsch, Marte, Koch, Takatsu, Jackson Offense (everyday lineup): 2B Harris/Uribe (play the hot hand, play Uribe at 3B as well) CF Reed RF Ordonez DH Thomas LF Lee SS Valentin 1B Konerko 3B Crede C Olivo Bench: Alomar, Rowand, Gload

Let me be the first to say, Happy Birthday to both of ya!!! :begood

Which will means Maggs will be dealt for prospects at or near the trading deadline and we'll officially be in rebuilding mode...

We aren't trading Borchard, we paid him 5.3 million and he has low value right now, so he's not going to be dealt for virtually nothing, which is what you'd get for him at this point.

Asshole and scrub aren't two words I would associate with Felix Diaz and the type of guy he is, but hey, whatever floats your boat there pal... :headshake

Bring up Reed and bench Rowand or option him to AAA and release Timo if you keep Rowand in Chicago.

KW has something against Wunsch, that is why he is exhausting all options before proceeding to the most logical solution to this problem. Sad part is that he's not giving us the best chance to win and I am not happy about that whatsoever. We should also option Rowand and call up Reed, but he's not going to do that either until it's too late.

There is a man who knows his food right there

Here are a few pictures of the park that I thought everyone would enjoy...

From what I understand, tonight's game will be on ESPN at 7 for those with out of towners who don't get FSN Cleveland or FSN Chicago.

Hope ya have a great one and next time we run into each other at Spring Training, maybe we'll do this...

Buehrle got the standing ovation Sunday...

Exactly, he probably cost Buehrle a few more batters yeserday... :headshake

Just out of curiousity, do you have a pornstache like Jose's?

What was the statement? That the Twins won the series on our field? We'd better make a statement next weekend in the Metrodome.

Considering I was at every game this weekend and sat along the first base side, I'll answer that for ya...Uribe has a stronger arm than Valentin...I watched carefully, Uribe has a cannon. Jose has a good arm, but not as good as Uribe's. He is our only lefty power, but once we get Reed up (which will be as soon as his wrists are 100%), you'll see a 3 man rotation at 2B/SS with Uribe, Valentin and Harris. We don't need a power hitter and that is the damn problem with this team. We need a guy who uses the whole field and gets on base, not a .250 avg with 25 HR. I think the past few years have shown that swinging for the fences isn't going to win the division. Reed will fit in nicely with his style of spraying the ball all over the field for singles and doubles. In fact he reminds me a lot of the Twins players who swing for base hits instead of swinging for the fences.

Great performance today by Mark...I'm happy I got to witness it first hand...

Willie is playing well, but I'm not totally buying on him yet...Let's see what his average is in a month or so and how many bases he steals, then I'll pass total judgment. Until then, the jury is still out.

By the way, Mark's era is now 3.99 after his last two outings...Just wanted to add that in.

Jose makes me sick period...We can't get rid of this guy soon enough. I could care less how many runs he cost us with today's errors, his defense is piss poor and regardless of the stats you provide or "range" you claim that he has, I won't be convinced otherwise. Quit being fooled by your love for pornstache and open your eyes and realize that the guy SUCKS. That DP ball he booted today was right at him and ROUTINE and he backhands it and boots it...Why is he backhanding a ball that is right in front of him? Is he afraid to get hit with the ball? Get in front of the ball and make the play...And this guy is a professional...Come on. A great SS makes that play in his sleep and pornstache drops it and then makes another error. And let's also not forget that Juanny boy has a better arm than stache.

Just got back from Chi-town and Buehrle looked great again today... If this guy pitches like this consistently, he's an all-star, no question. Mark

Or how about telling them to get off of the damn dugout when they are ready to start the game back up...We're at the game to see the players play, not the Bucket Boys...If they wanna keep playing, let them do so in the parking lot after the game or better yet, in Cabrini Green.
