QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 03:35 PM) as I said earlier today, b-r is f***ing amazing Well your f***ing not amazing so there.

Justin Greene went 0-3, 2 Ks in his Birmingham debut.

Just to add fuel to the horrible rumors fire... Reina If Chris Bosh wants his six-year max contract, it looks like Bryan Colangelo wants Joakim Noah or David Lee in return. Not taking Beasley.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) He basically s*** all over this website in the public. Well it was soxnet, but close. I'm stunned with Mike though as I thought Jason would (and should) have the biggest beef with him along with Mario.

There were fans in Boston that booed Manny when he was announced to bat for the Dodgers IIRC.

As Rowand has said, I'm not believing anything until said player has signed at the dotted line or if a sign and trade is finalized.

Viciedo 2 days in a row?!?! Rejoice!

Doc has decided to come back after all for the Celtics. (epic fail report from the Boston Globe) So the big 3 may be happy to hear that.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 02:35 PM) I still want to know why Geoff Blum doesn't get a lifetime pass. His homer is what basically turned a potentially longer series into a sweep. I still think A.J.'s "heads up" baserunning was the biggest turning point in the sox run. He doesn't do that, and the Angels potentially take a 2-0 series lead and who knows what could of happened. (especially in player's mindsets) Angels fans STILL b**** about that play till this day.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 02:23 PM) My friend just sent me a text about Melo, saying he wants the Bulls to trade Deng/Taj/JJ/Picks for Melo, then sign LeBron to form some sort of crazy super team. If that is the same friend who didn't want LeBron to begin with, then he should be taken to an alley and be beaten up heavily.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) This is the same reason we have 50 year old men walking around who would proudly blow Mike Singletary if he dropped his pants and pointed to his dong. I LOL'd.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 01:05 PM) Dirk? No way I could see him leaving Dallas. I refuse to even participate in that pipedream. He is the darkhorse in this (IMO the best fit for Rose) but I think he would join his buddy Nash first before us, though he likes Rose. With that said, I still think he re-signs in Dallas.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 10:56 AM) I'd give up Noah in a heartbeat for Carmelo. I've really grown to like him, but it's a lot easier to find a rebounder/defender than a 30 point scorer on the wing. Ditto. I LOVE Noah, love him... but he is getting very overrated by some Bulls fans out there.

Quentin.

I look for us to have a game similar to the Strasburg one. Greinke will probably pitch very well against us, but their bullpen will let them down. The Jason win streak is on the way!

According to multiple reports, Bulls will meet with Chris Bosh at 12:01 am TONIGHT! 10 hours 48 minutes till insanity.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 11:50 AM) Completely agree. As a fan, a former player (albeit never past high school, lol) and a guy who has a few friends that have played in the minors, I wish and cheer for every guy to eventually make it. Ditto.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 10:19 AM) The only rumor I've even heard is they aren't keen on Amar'e, and we all know how much rumors mean. Ya the Bulls brass likes Boozer over Amar'e I believe.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 10:39 AM) So make a hole to fix a hole? You got to cut a hole in that box somehow.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 01:13 AM) Paul Pierce is opting out of Boston There are also very strong rumors that Doc Rivers is indeed retiring. Add that to Ray Allen being a FA, the big three could be no more (though I still think Pierce and Allen will re-sign) and I would love to see how Rondo now deals with being pretty much exposed.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 12:27 AM) http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...amp;mode=linear Nothing unified Soxtalk more than the collective hatred of Billy Koch. What an awesome thread to read through. That thread also reminded me of the old YNOT days on Soxtalk.... LMAO! Wow good times. Tizzle FTW! It is Koch by a landslide.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 12:17 AM) You have to figure without PK and Q hitting this year, you're not going to win anything anyways. So there is nothing lost but $2M to Thome if you bring him back and things don't work out because the lineup is too old and crotchety. I would like to point out that I didn't want Thome back either cause I wanted more speed/versatility as well which I agreed with Badge on. The only reason I wanted Thome back (I believe it was around February) was KW still didn't get another bat which most of us thought he would do. When the Damon rumors hit, I don't think anyone here was even talking about Thome cause we actually had a shot (or thought we had a shot) of signing Damon. There were only some posters here that wanted Thome back from the START. Some jumped in around December, some around January, etc..

QUOTE (goblue5699 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 11:46 PM) I think it's pretty unfair to criticize the Mitchell pick. I wasn't even that big of a fan (like fathom for example was, though I didn't mind it at all) of the pick, and wouldn't bash it. It is pretty asinine to do so when the guy has missed the season.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 10:55 PM) Maybe I just got tired of the slow White Sox line up, with the strike out or home run mentality. Maybe I just wanted some change and felt that even if Thome may be the better hitter, he just brought nothing else and if he wasnt hitting hes a waste of space. See that is the thing too badge. I agree with you. But I've long said I don't think anyone would had complained if it was Kubel and Cuddyer platooning at DH for us than Kotsay/Jones. I think fathom and/or Kalapse mentioned Branyan and Gomes. I like the speed/versatility at the DH spot than most.. but I would also like it if my hitter had a good OBP with a good OPS and average you know... a good history prior.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:55 PM) This year? Williams by a landslide, Linebrink and Kotsay a distant third. Yea. Randy Williams and it isn't even close for me. Teahen though gets ripped constantly (even when he doesn't play) and I am still stunned by it. Reminds me of the Swisher hate that I'll never understand. (not talking defense, which I can understand) Pierre is my whipping boy, and I rip him alot (and would still rip him) but now I can't because I said I wouldn't till the ASB after he broke up Lilly's no hitter. (that one thread about a new lead-off hitter is killing me to not post in BTW.. )
