  1. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, registration required for the full story, due to the fact that the Sox and Brewers had a good deal this season for Scottie Pods and Carlos Lee. The two teams may be willing to deal this off season due to the fact that the Sox have 6 starting pitchers. Does anyone have the registration to see who the Brewers would be offering?
  2. My brother just called, and heard Mac, Jurko and Harry talking about Walker going to the Sox, any update?
  3. it appears that the Dayton Daily News has a major dislike for the White Sox, I believe that this means war. "There was a stunned pause as a writer assumed the call from General Manager Dan O'Brien was to ask Griffey's permission to trade him to the Chicago White Sox, still WHINING because the Red's won't help them by turning over their best player."
  4. NBC sports last night, said the trade for Griffey wont happen because the Reds are asking for a #1 starting pitcher in return.
  5. Did anyone watch CLTV tonight, they had a round table with four sportscasters, only one that I recognized was Mike Adamle. Anyways, they were talking about the Griffey situation. They said that they anticipated a trade for Griffey in the next couple of days. They were saying that Reinsdorf really wants to win a title, and is willing to open up the pursestrings for Griffey. They said that the Reds would pay about 4 million of his contract for this year, leaving 8 million to the Sox to pay. Also mentioned that the Sox have sellouts tomorrow, Friday and Saturday, which would also help the situation, bringing in more revenue. Finally, they said with a big name like Griffey, they would bring in even more revenue with a big name star.
  6. Was anything mentioned on talking baseball today about any movements?
  7. I don't know, the rules are there for a reason, he got caught, served his time, yes he lied, others have lied as well. Lets weigh the options, Raffy Vs. Timo, you decide.
  8. I don't want to give up our top prospects, but hey, I'm in my 40s and I want to win a World Series before I die.
  9. I agree, I believe that it is just to help the bench, I would rather have him than Willie off the bench or even Timo, really guys, are bench is pretty sad.
  10. That's almost exactly what they said, word for work, nothing more.
  11. Just got out of my car at 2:40 and the Score is reporting that the Sox are trying to work out a trade with Pittsburgh for Rob Mackowiak. Also mentioned that the Cubs and Sox are interested in trading for Aubrey Huff and Danys Baez.
  12. I just read Jayson Starks article on ESPN Insider, where he mentions the top 10 names on the trade market. These are the names he mentions and what he says about the Sox. 1. Manny Ramirez-White Sox not mentioned at all. 2. Alfonso Soriano-not mentioned at all. 3. Aubrey Huff-And there were indications Friday, that the team making the biggest charge is the White Sox, who could use Huff as a DH-first baseman to replace Frank Thomas. It goes on to say that we will have to overpay for him, because that is the way the GM for the Devil Rays is. Says other GMs are weary because of his defense and his slide in home runs and OPS in the last 3 years. However, his stock has risen because of July. 4. A.J. Burnett-The White Sox, after deciding Burnett wasn't a good bet to sign a long-term deal with them, have shown no interest in sweeting their offer for him. Goes to say that no other team has shown interest as well and that the 72 hour window to sign him has past, which will scare off teams. 5. Danys Baez-The Mets, White Sox and Red Sox were still in on Baez as of late Friday, but appears that the Devil Rays are seeking the best prospect for him, which scared away the Phillies, Florida and Washington. 6. Bob Wickman-not mentioned at all. 7. Matt Lawton-not mentioned at all. 8. Billy Wagner-Since the White Sox have stopped calling, it appears as if the Red Sox are their last option. 9. Eddie Guardardo-Several teams have picked up the pace, but it now appears that the Mets and the White Sox have backed off somewhat. 10. Randy Winn-no mention of the White Sox. Out of the top 10: Jose Mesa and J.C. Romero. No mention of Ken Griffey at all.
  13. Mets get Manny Ramirez and Dany Baez; Boston gets Mike Cameron and Aubrey Huff; Tampa gets four high prospects according to ESPN, not a done deal. Phil Nevin traded to Texas for Chan Ho Park Eric Byrnes traded to Baltimore for Larry Bigbee
  14. Shawn Chacon was traded to the Yankees for two minor leaguers, Pirates trade a catcher, last name Ross to Padres. Baseball tonight, Harold Reynolds believes that this may get the ball rolling.
  15. I don't know if i would want him, like his stick, but his defense sucks. Obviously, he is not a team player, and most likely a clubhouse cancer. Who asks to be traded from a Championship team and a team that is leading their division.
  16. I would like the following in order if possible: 1) Overbay 2) Griffey 3) Wagner 4) Huff 5) Vizquel 6) Schmidt 7) Burnett
  17. I also think that you have to take into effect, who was playing who. Although it was a great matchup between the World Champs and the "Next" World Champs, there is no rivalry there, and it was the Flubs and the Cards, one of the biggest rivalries in sports.
  18. I agree, but you don't base a whole year on a single game, and probably the worst game of the year for us, and it was Eric Castillias, or whatever his name is.
  19. Did anyone hear the asshole today on ESPN 1000? The guy that was replacing Dan Patrick, stated that he went to the Sox-Boston game on Saturday and was totally disappointed with our club and Cellular. He stated that we aren't a very good team at all, and is surprised that we are where we are at. He said our hitting sucked, as well as our bullpen, and that we only had starting pitching. He also bad mouthed Cellular and the fans, saying that it was a boring park, and the fans weren't entusiastic about the team. He said our seventh inning stretch was a takeoff from the Cubs and that there is no reason that anyone should go to a game there.
  20. Dont you think we would be able to get Wagner for less. I would rather get Wagner, Vizquel and Griffey than Burnett, and I think we would be set.
