As much as i would love to have Omar here THIS season at SS. It just wont happen. He has 2 more years left on his contract and San Fran's GM pretty much said he is keeping the team as is and waiting for Barry's big return in '06. That is why Schmidt won't be dealt either. Besides what would you rather have at SS the next few years a young excellent defensive SS or an ageing veteran on his last leg?

I also listened to ESPN 1000 this afternoon and Levine didn't say anything in regards to Lowell being added to this potential trade. It was simply Marte and McCarthy for Burnett straight up. Screw Mike Lowell he was a 1.5 year wonder. Crede is heating up at the plate and his defense is better. And of course his contract is cheap as hell. I say make this deal- and GO FOR WAGNER!! to replace Marte's lefty spot in our pen. If KW does both of these...... okay im not going to say it

Hopefully we don't strand a plethora of men in base again today. Hopefully Count doesn't suck ass like he usually does vs the BOSox. Hopefully Pauly isn't playing 1B and Gload is today. Hopefully we can score some runs off a very below average pitcher in Arroyo. Hopefully Dye's bug bite has healed so we don't have to keep seeing Perez out in RF. Hopefully we get a banana split today.

This guy spends too much time on the DL to re-sign him to a long-term deal. If we do get this guy- it will be for the stretch run and this year's playoffs only. Trading away Marte would mean KW needs to find another lefty... (Wagner *cough) Screw it... I say go for it KW! Lets go for the whole enchalata! We will worry about our future in the offseason.

definitely not a solid starting lineup out there. I do like 1-4, but 5-9 is just pathetic. Better hope we scrap out runs tonite- or we will be looking at a very long night.

Do you guys think the Blue Jays forgot the whole David Wells for Mike Sirotka mess? KW really screwed Toronto there. (even though Wells sucked ass for us). I like this trade possibilty BUT i'm not sure if Toronto will work out another trade with us?

How come Boston kicks our ass at home, but we kick there ass in Boston? Anyways tonites game will be a much needed win- the defense needs to really step it up after last nights mess. 3 un-earned runs?!? Thats just not acceptable vs a great team like Boston. I remember Jon Garland's great game vs Boston last season- lets hope he repeats it- as we really need to win this. Here come the Twins- there getting hot- not a good time for us to get cold. They are going to have to be scrappy vs Wakefield, a lot of bunts, and moving the man over in this one. Please win guys! I'm sick of having this nasty taste of defeat in my mouth the last 3 days.

Our starting lineup will probably look like this tonite: Podsednick LF Iguchi 2B Everett DH Konerko 1B Dye RF Rowand CF Pierzynski C Crede 3B Uribe SS look for Frank to come in and pinch hit in the 9th during a 3-3 tie for a walk-off homer

Many critics believe that this series will determine just how good our White Sox are. C'mon guys lets once again prove those critics that we are for real, lets get that nast taste of this 2 game skid out of our mouths and lets take 3 of 4 vs the defending champs!! Go SOX! White that is.

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 12:37 PM) I'd love to add Burnett, but not if he's joined at the hip with Lowell. I think the Marlins are starting to realize that teams are smart and want nothing to do with the whole "Lowell must be added to the deal non-sense". In fact that scared away both the Orioles and the Pirates for now. And if the Orioles go after Schmidt that leaves: our Sox , Red Sox and the BlueJays the prime canidates to aquire him. The latest i heard the Marlins would want Contreras and prospects for Burnett straight up. (this could be a great deal for KW). Hold on to your seats people- 10 days before the deadline- ALLLOOTTTTT of activity will start happening very soon. so how about a mid-summer christmas present just like last summer KW!!!

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) well he certainly didn't pitch good, he was ok. He shouldn't have been out there in the 9th agreed cy garland. We have been spoiled by great pitching all year, and im used to freddy only giving up 3-4 runs. he gave up a lot of hits today and that is not like him. contreras didn't pitch good last nite and seeing BOTH Cotts and Pollite giving up hits in the SAME inning was unusual. It did look like our offense came alive in the 9th. Hopefully that carries into the Boston series.

THe last 2 games our pitching has been aweful, from Contreras and today Garcia just didn't have it. It was dissappointing to see Cotts and Pollite not being able to keep the damage at a minimum. Our pitching lost this series NOT our offense. I'm happy we fought back, but were not going to beat the Red Sox if we keep pitching like this. We are 1-2 so far on this homestand- i expect it to be 3-4 after Boston leaves. We will split with the defending champs. Our probable pitching machups: Tommorow- Buerhle vs Clement (could go either way) Friday- Garland vs Wakefield (should win this one) Saturday- El-duque vs Miller (could go either way) Sunday- Contreras vs Arroyo (could either way)

win or lose, they are making this interesting. its all about the oppurtunity to win

QUOTE(Tadahito15 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 10:02 PM) These last 2 games have been brutal with this offense. 7 hits???? Come on. We really need to pick it up against Boston this upcoming series or things could get real ugly. I'm not too worried about the hitting- these last 2 games the pitching has been bad. I'm starting to get worried that are pitching is getting burned out?

that run is going to bite us in our ass. i bet we lose 4-3 now.

now that just f***ing sucks

now walk infante and go for the DP

Tigers 3- Sox 2 Top of the 6th. Shut them down Freddy. Gotta keep them @ 3

thats what happens when you can't f***in bunt!! nice job widger

that a boy Uribe! keep it going Pablo!

its rally time! thank you bondertson!!

i shall now call them both bondertson to avoid further self-confusion

bonderman, robertson, they are the same pitcher

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) That wouldnt help very much this game. should it would.

i hate rain delays! Freddy was in a groove too. hopefully it gets bonderman off his groove at least
