Unbelievable.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:52 PM) They have enough prospects where they could trade for someone cheaper and better without giving up their main guys like Vizcaino, etc. Let me dream. And their farm is so deep, I'd be content with even some of their secondary pitching prospects.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:51 PM) Big inning for Danks here. I was just going to say that. He can't go and give it right back up this inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:49 PM) No one would dream of touching that contract. We'd have to trade him for an equally bad contract. We'd have to eat some of the contract. But I still think the Braves would be interested. Bad as Rios is. He dwarfs McClouth.

Finally. Took long enough.

Please let some team be dumb enough to be sucked in by Alex's 'tools'.

That a boy, CQ!

JD despite not having his A stuff is doing a good job.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:26 PM) I think Rios took Pierre's glove by mistake. (I know the lefty - righty difference) Rios is REALLY starting to disgust me. I think it's time to make a Rios thread really soon. I've picked on JP enough. He just has no talent. It's not his fault. But Rios? No excuse.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:22 PM) sure is tough to watch I had visions of an '06-like offensive attack a week and a half or so into the season. Still could happen. But we've got too many guys that go into too many multiple week funks.

Meh, I don't blame Ozzie for sending Ramirez there. This offense is crap right now.

Juan Pierre continues to dazzle.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:10 PM) The love and warmth that having everyone's favorite Elf on this team has provided is clearly a win in exchange for Javier Vazquez. All I feel for Lillisuck is contempt and disgust.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:08 PM) So the trades since have been: Swisher Javy Tony Pena Hudson/Jackson Peavy I'm still pissed off about the Griffey trade. I thought they gave up on him too soon. Massett that is

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:07 PM) You're a better historian than me, but is the Quentin/Carter trade the last trade that KW won? Yup

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:04 PM) Minimal is way too kind. His mechanics are freaking terrible at the plate. The summer moves of '09 have not been very kind to us.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 06:02 PM) Our offense is so good No blaming facing a dominant starter tonight. James Shields has gopher ball syndrome.

Yawn@Alex Rios. Other than May of last year, the return on that investment has been minimal.

This thread is too negative for me.

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 10:39 AM) Did anyone think we would win with that lineup Ozzie put out there? It looked like a spring training game. Did you see the lineup the Rays threw out there? I was actually thinking no-hitter for Jackson. That said, I can get behind the train of thought that we've gone up against some pretty dominant SP of late. But that certainly won't be the case over the next three games. Not that we're facing scrubs. But Shields, Davis and Niemann are certainly not Weaver, Haren and Price.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 06:47 PM) [/b] Websites get letters from lawyers about those rules that no one follows. I know some people don't care about them, but there are plenty of people who do. Don't make excuses for those morons. WSI is one of the worst message boards on the net. I know we don't agree all the time (more like never) and I drive most of the mods crazy. But ten seconds on that piece of s*** site makes me appreciate you guys a hell of a whole lot more.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 09:56 AM) Sucks, but its still mid-April. The posts ready to write him off for the year or the whole contract already are hilarious. I can only speak for myself. As far as J4L is concerned (yes, I'm speaking in third person), Jake Peavy is no different than a Unicorn, UFO, Alien, or some other extraterrestrial life form or being that people believe in yet there's no actual proof of its existence. I don't know what a healthy Jake Peavy is. I've never seen it. None of us have. So I can't pretend that it exists.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 09:44 AM) What is the generally accepted number of pitches needed for it to be an official setback, instead of just waiting to find out what happened? I don't have an exact number. But 15 pitches? Is that even a 1-2-3 inning? At least if he had thrown 75 pitches and gone five innings you could somewhat mask his "discomfort."

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 09:30 AM) I'll wait and see what the news is before throwing more dirt on Peavy's grave. The last time he had a setback it was nothing, and he was throwing within days. I might be with you had he thrown 75 pitches or so. 15? C'mon now. This has gone way beyond setbacks.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 07:30 AM) Even as the Peavy optimist, I can't go this far. They've got a point. Guy's been attempting rehab starts for 2 months now and appears to be starting all over again. I said J4L was going to be wrong somewhere in one of these threads when he said June 1, and after today, that suddenly seems likely. With some people, Peavy's shoulder, lat or whatever will have to spontaneously combust for them to realize this guy can no longer be counted on for anything at this point. He's a luxury. That's it. No more positive ptac posts (though they're very much appreciated). No more random Twitter crap talking about Peavy "feels good" or is "right on schedule". Until his ass is on the mound in a game that counts, he's a ghost. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 07:35 AM) Jesus Christ. Right, I'm a homer because I think Derrick Rose is a better player than Chris Paul and I would never trade him for CP3 in a million years. F*CK ME if the entire world agrees with me save two posters at Soxtalk, I'm a homer. Never said there was anything wrong with thinking Rose > Paul. But my MJ/Reggie Miller analogy was spot on. I know it's been over a decade since we last had a superstar, but let's not act like the virgin geek going to his first strip club (in essence overrating Rose because it's been so long since we've had a player of his caliber).
