QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 01:11 PM) I'd like this if was even close to what he was. How many times has he pitched this year? Zero times. 6 rehab appearances. If you click on the link the full article talks more about his injury and what scouts are saying.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 12:50 PM) Baez, righty with 1.20 WHIP...i'd be interested. Shouldve been more interested in him than Tony P If the Sox want a righty, Smoltz/Spier would be decent additions. While both stunk this season, they did limit right handed batters to sub .235 averages. I think Smoltz would be a solid pickup for a team. He's a great veteran and as a reliever he might still have a bit left in the tank. Plus the guy flat out pitches great in the post-season and I think just having him around would be good for the team.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 12:27 PM) So basically there's not a chance in hell he clears waivers to get through the NL to us... Unless he's already cleared, which might be the case since at that point no one knew what Billy Wagner we'd be seeing (and really how healthy he was). If he hasn't, than I doubt he makes it through and at this point, Wagner would be a pipe-dream.

QUOTE (hogan873 @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 12:01 PM) Do you think KW could pull this one off, too. I don't think he's cleared waivers yet. I suppose if KW wanted him he could just call up the Mets and say, "Let's get started." The question is if he's cleared waivers. If he hasn't, he probably wouldn't get to the Sox cause I'm sure some NL contenders would want him. But in this economy, if they did it at the beginning of August, he might have very well made it all the way through (can you put a guy whose on the DL through waivers?) and at which point any team could negotiate a trade. He really has no value to the Mets so I don't see them asking for a ton, unless multiple teams are pursuing him.

Goodwin will be attending UNC people.

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:43 AM) doesnt he have a pretty big contract? Buyout of $1 million for next year. It would cost the Sox about $2.75 million to have Wagner. Which should mean you don't have to give up anything to get him.

I know someone else had suggested this earlier, but now that Wagner has pitched and is flashing his plus stuff I think it becomes a more realistic option. The question is whether Wagner has already cleared waivers.

White Sox Should Make a Run at Billy Wagner By Jason Gage SoxNet

Oh I should point out that I think Ray Lewis is a big fat piece of scum. Knew he did something bad, didn't know he murdered the guy, but clearly he might have.

Saw the Hurt Locker last night. It was solid. Don't know if it was worth all the hype it got, but I enjoyed it.

Time for the Sox to bring the f***ing brooms....calling a big time 3 game set for the Sox right here!!!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 07:50 PM) The sad thing is in my first couple of years on the board, I was around 40 posts a day. I had no life then. I was in that neighborhood too. Just goes to show how much less consistent of a poster I am. Although I still read the site every single day.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 12:18 AM) I can totally understand how people get hooked on prescription knock out meds. If I could take a pill that would knock me out cold for 8 hours and I'd wake up clear headed and rested, you'd never be able to get me off of it. I don't take any medication but I'm pretty active and all over the map so there are at least a few days a week where I feel like I'm pretty much unconcscious for 8 hours. My eyes shut and I don't get up. Its weird cause as a kid I had horrible sleeping problems but the older I've gotten the better my sleeps have become. I'll always have one day in the week though where I can't sleep. I think part of the reason I'm pretty good at sleeping is I am very good at handling stress so my mind is free and clear when I pass out.

Wait did Ray Lewis kill someone or just try to cover it up?

I wouldn't call him up. I expect Dayan to get some time in the AFL but he's continued to get better each and every month.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 05:32 PM) He also lost games because teams stuffed his running attempts and he was going to depend on that because he was inconsistent as a passer. When teams were able to contain his running ability, the Falcons had no chance. Easier said than done, hence his career winning record.

Weird.

Phil Rogers is indicating that the timetable is still two more Peavy starts. I imagine we see them add about 20 pitches per outing.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 05:34 PM) He is still trying to get back on here?? Has about 200 banned names associated with him, haha.

He goes by the name Brando.

Jake Peavy Pitches Three Scoreless SoxNet Jason Gage Jake Peavy made his White Sox debut on Thursday, pitching 3 scoreless innings in a rehabilitation start for AAA Charlotte. Peavy started strong, striking out the first three opponents and finished the game with five strikeouts. He also gave up a hit and a walk while throwing a total of 43 pitches (26 strikes).More Detailed Look Into Peavy's Start

Thrown more balls than you'd like, but he looks like he's heatlhy thus far.

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 02:54 PM) It seems like everybody loves playing for the white sox and ozzie once they get here. Hopefully it will change his attitude. And the reality is playing baseball in Toronto is completely different. Chicago is going to be a major change and we can only hope that it helps revive his baseball career cause he's got all kinds of tools and I'll be fine if we get the guy to play at his 3 year averages but the reality is it would be better if we could get him to do even better (he has the ability).

If thats the case, hopefully we have a manager that can get him to succeed cause if he doesn't play the game the right way Ozzie will run him out very quickly. We shall see and as far as I'm concerned I have a very open mind about Rios because of all the tools he possesses and the type of holes he can fill in Chicago.
