I agree. If we're going to spend $13 million for a SS, why not Tejada?

More people would be b****ing if he said he was going to stay out and party ala Freddy, Brian or BMac. What's your point? He worked hard to get himself in that position.

Well if that's the case, I guess the Sox gave up NOTHING for Javy Vazquez while significantly improving their 99 win team.

....and yet if the Sox gave up those "NOTHING" prospects, 90% of the people who never seen them pitch would be b****ing about a career NL hitter.

...and he did it once. Who f***ing cares? Esteban Loaiza once won 21 games and put up a sub 3 ERA in one season with the Sox. Thome was way better in the first half of 2006 than Crede as well.

The overreaction here is hilarious.

It must be their "scouting."

Great stuff as usual 29, but you're wasting your time with Bob. Notice how many questions he is asking AFTER you posted all the information, and that was AFTER he made a solid, concrete viewpoint of how KW and co. run their farm. He, along with others, have had this veiwpoint for years and apparently he won't be satisfied until one of KW's teams win the world series with nothing but homegrown Sox players, have one of the smallest payrolls in the league, and sweep the A's in the ALCS (a 3 game sweep won't impress him.)

How many times are you going to post that?

Very disappointed to see the "source" on this one was MLB trade rumors. Not I know it won't happen

Remember when $3 million a year was considered "a lot" for this guy? Pale Hose Talk is all for Philly players rumored to be asking for big money

Didn't we all come to the conclusion that the slot position is only important if you pick #1 or 2? For all this time we heard "the past 15 years of the Sox not having a top 10 pick is showing" yet here we are with the Sox having a lock for at least the 10th pick and people are still whining. who cares? There are no locks in the MLB draft and I am sure there we be plenty of great players to choose from when the clock starts. The small ball in this game was a fluke. Eddings blew the call at second and Uribe only got a hit because he went into defensive mode because he looked silly on two other bunt attempts. When will Guillen ever learn not to try and have people bunt if they have shown countless times they can't do it?

Mike Myers' ERA has grown from 2.66 to 4.14 in the six weeks he has been with the White Sox, but the White Sox will likely bring him back next season. "I'm not looking at ERA," pitching coach Don Cooper said. "Every club would like to have three lefties in the bullpen. We have that ability to have three lefties every day, at least two, especially in our division where we have a lot of good-hitting lefties and guys who switch-hit." notice how Cooper said absolutley nothing about how well our left handers actually pitch against those left handed batters. They may give up lots of inherited runs, but damnit, at least they're doing it left handed.

Yet here we are, 14 innings later, and he's only better than Dewon Day. This is yet another "Hellen Keller" move made by the Sox this year.

Think TLR will rest his regulars for the rest of the season? Wouldn't want to risk an injury.

As you should because you are resorting to completely twisiting people's posts just to make an argument and pad a thread. You can't OD on weed. It's just physically impossible. Nobody here is saying it doesn't impair one when used.

More people die in car accidents due to talking on their cell phone, reading, playing with their ipods, or looking at their TV while driving. Perhaps we should prohibit cell phones, books, music players, and navigation systems.

I just got back from the mall and noticed there's a Girls Gone Wild bus in the parking lot next to my hotel. Does anyone know where they have a schedule for these things? The official website says nothing and the Myspace profile is set to private.

How exactly is GM going to guarantee "about" a number of cars for production? If there is no market, or the market isn't as big, you don't make vehicles to exceed that number.

I have a hard time seeing someone roll a cigarette who doesn't look like a guest on the Jerry Springer show.

It's their arrogance and unwillingness to accept the results. They come up with a model and make excuses when it doesn't work out. You should read the whiny article they put out after the Sox technically clinched in Detroit yet their system mathematically said the White Sox still only had a 90ish% chance of winning the division.

Seeing the Cub fans do the Tomahawk chop reminded me of 2003 when they were mocking the Braves in round 1. The nimrods continued to do the chop in the NLCS against the Marlins.

What does A-Rod know about Championships, and why are the Cubs the favorite to win the title this season?

Maybe he's just really overrated?

because a snarly comment towards Chris Young, who hit yet another leadoff home run last night, was made in the original post. I think Vazquez can be a good pitcher but I don't think it's a coincidence that he's pitching like he was on the Expos while the Sox are playing like the Expos.
