We have nothing to give Atlanta for him and I'm not prepared to dump Fields for a loaner. Besides, "reasons that JFields27 already gave", and Tex isn't any good at 3B anymore.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 06:38 PM) Whitesox.com is sponsoring a contest that links Aaron Rowand to Jermaine Dye when you vote for JD for the final spot. No love for Carlos Lee, I guess.

You forgot Jason.

Have a good one!

QUOTE (VAfan @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 12:49 AM) Remember 1995? Jack McDowell couldn't beat Toronto to save himself, but Wilson Alvarez bested them easily. Should have gone with the young guy then. I remember it as 1993. Plus, McDowell was tipping his pitches and Toronto knew it.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Jul 7, 2008 -> 09:52 PM) Dude that would be epic "Smoke On The Water", list over.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Jul 7, 2008 -> 09:37 PM) Frank Thomas will be a resounding #1. Next list please You're no fun, Mr. "Favorite Bass Lines".

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 7, 2008 -> 09:29 PM) How many should we send? 25

I figured why not. We alternate between Entertainment and Sports. Send me a list of 25 guys in order #1 to #25. #1 being your favorite. Deadline for PMing me your lists is Thursday, July 24. LET'S DO THIS!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 7, 2008 -> 08:15 PM) I can't see how you can justify putting Buehrle in the pen. He's the least successful overall of the top 4 guys and he's better suited to the bullpen than Contreras is.

I'd start: Vazquez #1 - He can usually get you 7 innings. Danks #2 - Lefty going before a day off - in case we have to burn the bullpen in this game. Floyd #3 - Middle game is the safe one. Contreras #4 - if needed, he usually can go 7. Buehrle bullpen - has an easy delivery so he can give extra innings, is a lefty, and can hold runners on better than the others.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jul 7, 2008 -> 02:51 AM) So I had never heard about the story of Danny Dahlquist's death at Bradley due to a fireworks 'prank.' It was featured on SC tonight, so it will probably run in the morning as well. What a sad story. What happened?

QUOTE (ChiSox35 @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 10:38 PM) Thats gotta be the closest a human being will come to looking like Peter Griffin. http://www.snopes.com/photos/people/griffin.asp

Sorry you're not around anymore. Get well soon!

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 11:53 PM) University of Evansville, ground breaking haha Too early too start ths thread, we are still celebrating in Lawrence. The locals should call it "Larry".

They could retro it to June 30 then. He'd be off by July 14.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 11:46 PM) They'll activate Paulie and put Jenks on the DL and go to the break a man short in the pen. What day was his last appearance?

Which makes his return sometime after the All-Star Break.

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 09:58 PM) So help me God, I actually laughed at this. HAHA! I just got the joke! (I'm slow. )

QUOTE (Noberto Martin @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 08:18 PM) I'll never understand why Kenny picked up his his 4.5 mil option. QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 08:24 PM) In an off-season that looks like an A for Kenny Williams, he clearly made a mistake here. He didn't want to be left without a SS, and picked the option up. I didn't agree with this move at the time either, but we can free this money up after the season. The opportunity to trade for Cabrera and sign Ramirez didn't come about until after the 4.5 mil option pick up. The team could have gone into Spring Training with Pablo Ozuna as its shortstop if Ramirez signed elsewhere (and he was unproven) and Garland hadn't been dealt. It was kind of important at the time.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 06:32 PM) Giambi should never be considered for any type of award or recognition like an All Star appearance, IMO. You'd like to think so, but he's doing very well this year and the game's in New York.

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 06:11 PM) When do they announce the injury replacements? They already know Ortiz won't play, so why not just name his roster replacement now? (Hint, hint, JD, hint, hint.) They'll pick JD or Giambi to replace Ortiz.
