QUOTE(kwolf68 @ Jul 30, 2007 -> 07:38 PM) Young in his first full season is currently hitting .244 and is on pace for 25 homers and 30+ steals. He also plays a mean centerfield. Chris Young is a terrific terrific young player and does appear to have a huge future ahead of him. Can we get off of Chris Young for once? Last I knew, he was not a member of the White Sox, and we have a guy who has been doing pretty well lately. Javier Vazquez, do you know that guy?

Wow, deja vu. This comes up every year it seems with the same list of teams mentioned. Guess what, it's not happening. I think that this is a story that they throw out there once a year and wonder if it will stick this year or not.

QUOTE(striker62704 @ Jul 27, 2007 -> 09:43 AM) I would go with that too. I would LOVE to see Byrnes or Rowand in CF, in that order. But both will probably ask alot and neither are probably worth it. It kind of looks like Owens will be in CF next year and will take over Pods spot as the speedy outfielder. I would rather have someone better out there, but would be fine with that (since Owens is cheap) as long as they sign a good SS and pick up some bullpen help somehow.

I'd love to have Dye back. You could tell something was bothering him early on. I would like to sign a good CF too, but may be asking for too much with all of the holes. We would also need a SS and some bullpen help (I would put Richar in at 2B, Fields in LF, and Crede at 3rd).

QUOTE(SoxFan77 @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 05:01 PM) I don't see how we have not unloaded anyone as trying. Look we are not going to be able to rape other teams for Jose, Jon, Dye, Uribe.. He just have to accept that fact. So...should we be the one's sticking our arses out there instead?

Only 14 votes for us so far? Aren't we a Chicago sports team? I'm going back to make sure that my non-existent uncle votes.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 04:10 PM) Yea, and this isn't really new news. I mean, I guess what I'm really wondering is, why worry about something that is already known by the majority of Sox fans when you could be celebrating a win against a division rival? It just seems like silly timing to bring something like this up. I'm proud to say I never liked it, but that doesn't really matter ^^^^^Really good win today. Why throw this out there right at the time of the win? Look at the times on the thread creations. One person was posting the winners thread...and we have this one rehashing things we already know about.

QUOTE(shoota @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 03:59 PM) On April 1, 2006, KW gave Jose Contreras a 3-year extension covering the 2007-10 seasons. I understand Contreras pitched exceptional through the 2005 Championship season, but why would KW be motivated to keep him under contract for the following FOUR years? With his age, and JR's unwillingness to approve long-term contracts, why did KW give a three year extension instead of two? It's obviously backfiring on the Sox today, with an ineffective, injured, aged Contreras signed for two more seasons after this one. Horrible move KW. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/press...sp&c_id=cws You sure know how to enjoy a win.

QUOTE(Wanne @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 04:01 PM) Man it would be so sweet to see these guys go on a nice 10-game run here. They're actually showing signs of life...but as soon as you say that...somebody craps the bed. They talk about starters that are stoppers for losing streaks. I would say that Contreras is a stopper for winning streaks right now.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) So we can beat The Indians and Tigers but not the pirates. We now have Pods back..

Fun to watch!

Bunted ball. Bobbled by the pitcher, and thrown away. Not really that cloase at home

QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 03:11 PM) 1-5 with a 5.40 ERA...30 hits in 28.1 innings I say so... Could that have been from the injury? I have not followed anything at all with him. So, I really have no idea.

I cringe every time I see one of our players square around to bunt.

Wasserman gets it done. Good job by Danks today.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 26, 2007 -> 02:58 PM) Just wondering if you have been able to hear Hawk the last few innings, or see the zone. Anything a bit over the belt is out of the question with the zone.

Danks is looking really frustrated out there with the ump.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 02:41 PM) When is the last time we scored a run off Rogers? The last earned run was July 20 of last year. The last run was August 12 of last year. The last win from Contreras came on June 18. Maybe things turn around...

And, since it worked last time... QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 02:08 PM)

Nice!

Jenks at 96 on Gameday...

C'mon Pods. Let's actually drive a run in from 3rd with less than 2 outs.

I'll throw it in there BigEd. QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Jul 24, 2007 -> 04:14 PM) OK. I've always wanted to start a game thread. Virgil Vasquez? Are you kidding me, Jim Leyland? Who the **** is this clown? Doubleheader sweep, anyone?

Owens with a double to the gap!
