QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) F*** you Rizzo I hope you get stuck with Dunn next year when he accepts arb. For 16 mil. Although this is very disapointing, hopefuly we get something through waivers without givig up much. EJax does make us a better team though. But I'm disappointed. I don't think the Nationals would have any problem with Dunn on a 1 year contract for 16 million. Rizzo had all the power here.

I never want to hear "Don't worry, good ol' Kenny will get us what we need at the deadline" ever again.

Any one of Dunn, Hart or Bautista makes the Giants the NL favorite, IMO.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:49 PM) Dunn to giants? The rest of the NL should be VERY afraid if that happens.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) We are minutes away from the : "I believe in the talent. We were only going to do something that made sense. There were some interesting offers out there, but ultimately we felt they did not make the White Sox better" speech. I was going to wait until the deadline officially passed to type something similar.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:24 PM) They are going to Tampa soon. And we're not playing the Mariners and A's for the rest of the season, either.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:17 PM) But at the end of the day I don't think we have the roster to overtake NY or Tampa in the post season. Not even worth thinking about those two teams when we've got the Twins right on our ass. Mauer is heating up and Morneau should be back soon. Aren't they like 13-3 since Bobby's epic choke? Nobody saw that coming (sarcasm).

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:06 PM) the milk was spilled months ago. crying about it now wont change a thing Thing is were were "crying" about it in March. But everything was going to be OK. Kw was going to upgrade at the deadline if we were in it. This was said about 47346438367347438944 times.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 01:01 PM) maybe before the non-waiver deadline, but it's not like he can't do anything after 3pm today. Also, look at the names he was in on, those are major impact bats, and seemingly a grand total of one is moving and that is a guy with a NTC. You don't get s*** done just to get s*** done, there has to be a point that you walk away from the table. And that's why you don't go into a season with Mark Kotsay as your primary DH.

I'm not giving KW credit for being interesting and making things fun. You gotta get s*** done. And it's looking more and more like the only upgrade is a guy with an ERA over 5 and just overall mediocre pitcher.

Deadline is 3 or 4 Central time?

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 12:53 PM) Berkman obviously wasn't a longshot. I don't know how you would know Berkman didn't want to go to Chicago going into those negotiations. Good point. It's not like KW found out yesterday Berkman didn't want to come here.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) then I don't know how you can like any MLB team, even the 05 White Sox, they had known and unknown to the public steroid users on it. My second favorite player ever is Barry Bonds. I'm just talking about all those holier than thou posters who've ripped guys like Bonds, AROD, and Sosa to shreds over the years. I've never really cared about steroids (long as Frank's never done them, of course).

This thread proves one thing: Nobody cares about steroid users aka 'cheaters' as long as they play for your team (outside of Balta). I really don't want Manny.

It's 1:53 AM and I've been drinking. Does somebody have the audacity to even insinuate that Lucas Harrell is a legitimate prospect?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:38 PM) One thing that I learned from listening to KW, Cooper, and Ozzie today is that they were not high on Hudson at all. We hear this after every traded prospect. I guess the logical thing to do would be to start DRAFTING BETTER.

Lou should just quit now.

In other news, the Rockies have put a 12 spot on the Cubs in the 8th inning.

Thanks for the win. Now I never want to see you pitch for my team ever again.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 10:51 PM) Dayan needs to be starting at DH every game. He's shown a tremendous amount of improvement since last season. I was very skeptical. Score one for JPN and those who said to be patient. This kid is for real. And it's a shame I can't get excited about him because of who are GM is.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:47 PM) I can't believe that this thread went over 8 hours without a post! My guess is that this is sort of a calm before the storm if KW doesn't bring a bat in by tomorrow at 3:05 You will see J4L 'unleashed' if the offense isn't legitimately upgraded.

lol@Ozzie the GM. He'd piece together an offense that would make this year's Mariners look like the '99 Indians.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 06:00 PM) Ethier's WAR: 0.7 Ethier's UZR: -16.3 He's not much better than Carlos. He was the best hitter in baseball the first month and a half. I guess that finger is REALLY bothering him. How else does one fall off a cliff like that?

Holy s***! Ethier has been hot garbage since he came back from the DL on May 31: .234/.295/.365/.661. Mark Kotsay is even laughing.

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:47 PM) The Dodgers want a SP and acquired Podsednik. Hypothetically, there could be a match with them. Perhaps they want Jackson back? Jackson for Kershaw. Sounds fair to me.
