QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:37 PM) Something to make you guys chuckle: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=148900 LOL. Thanks, Heads. I needed that.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:30 PM) You think Ozzie is going to go ballistic now?? Sure, at himself. Very, very foolish to bring Javy back out for the 7th.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) How about common sense will finally reach our manager. Doesnt his stat people, scouts and coaches let him know. Hey ozzie get the pen ready, its the 6th inning. And Vaz is starting to convuse on the mound. No argument here. I haven't been too happy with Ozzie of late.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:16 PM) Adding a player like Soriano sparks the whole ballclub...Or at least I want to think that. So adding Soriano will spark Vazquez to stop spiffting his pants in the 6th inning? Will it spark Mark Buehrle to stop pitching like Sidney Ponson? Will it spark Freddy Garcia (although he pitched very well his last start) to start throwing hard and atleast attempting to hold base runners? Who would've thought that Jon Garland would be the one guy we can count on as far as the rotation goes at the moment.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:14 PM) BMac is far from what cures the Sox. I know this. I was just pointing out that it's not like we could trade Javy and insert Brandon into the rotation in a couple days.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:13 PM) Soriano could not have prevented us from giving up 6 runs in this toilet of a game. Exactly. We could add Soriano, Ortiz, Pujols, ect -- it won't matter. We're going as far as our starters take us.

QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:13 PM) Does anyone think we could get Soriano for Vazquez? I know that may sound crazy but I would rather get rid of him than Brandon. No

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:09 PM) 7 1/2 out after tonight. And this is why we need Soriano. And this is why we need to get rid of this goof, and get bmac in the rotation. He can give up 5 runs, and wont cost us an arm and a leg. Only problem is Bmac wouldn't be ready to start until September; late August at the earliest.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:05 PM) Trade for Soriano tonight, fly his ass here tomorrow....We need him. He still can't pitch.

I've been one of the more optimistic posters of late. But I must say, for the first time all year, I think we're in serious danger of missing the playoffs.

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 06:57 PM) Well can we agree that Vazquez would NOT be pitching tonight if he were really seriously being thrown around in talks for Soriano? Pretty much.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 06:50 PM) i think the impending game with the Twins is drawing some attention away Yeah, it's easy to forget we've got an absolutely HUGE series starting in about 15 minutes.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 06:40 PM) Of course I see upside. It's just difficult to look past injury concerns and concentrate solely on his potential. A potential which has yet to be achieved. I realize you could use this for Lumsden and Cortes as well, but both are starting pitching prospects who ultimately are more valuable to long term success of a ballclub. Another concern is assisting a team within our division. We're giving them our top pitching talent. How incredibly short sighted is that? You can't possibly tell me you're seriously concerned with the Royals now that they have Lumsden. Flash, I like you, but I think you just have to have something to complain about at all times.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 06:27 PM) Jason knows I've supported Lumsden for quite some time. He's one of the few prospects I've held this position towards. So you see absolutely no upside in MacDougal? Yes, I know he's a health risk. Is that your only concern? Or have you already come to the conclusion that we got burned in this deal?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 06:16 PM) Well Tracey unless something drastic happens will be up in Sept.... also did he even pitch this time up? Yeah. He pitched an inning and a third against the Rangers this past Friday. I know he gave up atleast one HR.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 06:18 PM) I just find it funny when people say they have sources but than one person's source goes against someone elses.... I trust Fathom and Dick enough to where I don't think they would just make up stories about having sources if they really didn't.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 06:04 PM) Mac will be the long guy (although I'm not much of a Riske fan, especially as of late) unless Kenny gets blown away in a deal or one of our starters gets hurt. Next year Mac will join the rotation. With MacDougal in the mix, we can use Riske in the 6th and 7th inning more. He seems to do better there. I really like our 'pen now. It could end up being better than last year's.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 06:01 PM) You can't assume anything when health and MacDougal are in the same sentence. This is the problem. You can't avoid it. And we gave up our TOP minor league pitcher and another raw arm for this? Where the hell are these deals are our end? I want the equivalent of this deal for Freddy Garcia. I want another general manager to overpay for one of our players. Where's the pseudo Williams out there looking to "win now" and "overpay" for Garcia? I can't believe Williams said he has no intent of trading players currently on the roster. Not that I question the truthfulness of the statement; I simply can't believe he hasn't explored sending off deadweight Garcia onto someone. LMAO! Flash, you need to stop. I think you're a good poster and all, but you can be ridiculous at times. 95% of your posts are about how garbage our farm is. Now you're whining about this deal? You're a Lumsden fan all of a sudden? LOL. Just stop.

QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 05:55 PM) Any good long relievers on bad teams or teams that are underachieving. I'd really like to get BMac into the rotation. With the moves made, I think doing this will make the team very complete Our bullpen is set now.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 12:04 PM) Cmon Javy, we need you to step up big. I expect tomorrow's game to be something special and I've got a feeling that Mark is going to get back on track on Wednesday. This really is the make or break game for this series imo. Indeed. Buehrle has owned the Twins his entire career. I feel good about Contreras tomorrow. If we win tonight, I could see us sweeping this series. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:28 PM) WHY NOT MACK? WHAT THE HELL DID WE GET HIM FOR? Maybe they wan't to up his trade value? OK, I'm lying. I have no idea why Mack isn't in RF.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 05:54 PM) About 10-12 years ago, just before he became totally dominant, the White Sox had a trade for Randy Johnson all but agreed upon. They had Johnson's jerseys hanging in the clubhouse, and the Mariners backed out at the last second. I don't remember that at all.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 05:47 PM) is there any chance of a vazquez/pods deal for soriano or am I just dreaming? You're dreaming. That is unless Isiah Thomas becomes the Natonals' GM within the next week.

QUOTE(bmags @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 05:48 PM) Vazquez and pods lol LMAO!!!!!

QUOTE(bmags @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 05:45 PM) JR has continued to suprise us with our budget, however. But, i do see what you mean now. I, admittedly, would love this deal, if the participants that mac, jurko, and harry mentioned would truly be those men being shipped off. So i may be a bit starry eyed at being realistic right now. Who did those clowns say would be shipped out?

QUOTE(bmags @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 05:41 PM) oh i know...i just have a friend in the minors, i'd imagine its pretty crushing, everytime you get called down you don't know if you'll ever get a shot to come back up. True
