QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 03:24 PM) Am I the only one that totally forgot this fact? One thing at a time, J4L...one thing at a time.

bump. Can we reopen the Is Buehrle a hall of famer question now? Can we frame him with the pitchers of the day??? How many have a no-hitter, perfect game, World Series win AND save, double digit victories every year he's pitched, ERA under 3 every year but two, opening day starter 8 of 9 years, 200+ innings pitched every year but his rookie year.......

w...o...w...

THAT'S why Wise wasn't sent down.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 03:04 PM) Definitely would be an interesting arguement since he probably won't make 300 wins. See "buehrle" thread....

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:44 PM) This series has taken about 5 years off my life. Close games and now this. I know, right? I was hoping for a laugher...but not this kind!

I haven't read all of these posts but here's my .02: BA has every reason to ask to be traded. I don't blame him. But the deal is, if Kenny can find a defense replacement that's fast and younger with some upside...Dweezy is gone too. Then the Wise over BA argument goes out the window. Bottom line: Good luck BA, wherever you go...I hope we can get a high upside high-A player for ya!

If the overall team speed is improved (and CQ's foot fully recovers this offseason), which it looks like it has...then I don't see why they couldn't bring them both back for one more year. Yes, they clog the bases, along with AJ, but this team around them is speedier...so I don't see what the big deal would be for one more year. After that though, JD should be the DH. Oops, one more thing...maybe Jermaine doesn't WANT to DH yet. If that's the case, he will sign with a team willing to put him out in RF and this question is moot.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 12:08 PM) One thing I think is true - I doubt these teams are scouting Dotel. If they were, Thornton would not have gone 2 innings last night. We would have seen Octavio out there. Really? You think that Ozzie, or any manager, would put a player in JUST to showcase them in such an important series? Even if it's not the best matchups? I don't believe that. I can't imagine any manager would take that chance JUST to showcase a player for one game. Maybe that's why the scouts are here so long...?

You look FANTASTIC in that dress. That is awesome! And it looks like you could have had a full game with the amount of people standing up for you two.

*blip* *blip* *blip* gone.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 03:58 PM) You don't even need a ball... just walk in and ask him to sign your driver's license as the donor witness on the back. Easy thing to do and it always makes for a good story when you take your ID out. Spoken like a true stalker.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 04:22 PM) I'm looking at tickets on stubhub, and I want to sit in a row with a little extra room because of the kids. Is Bartolo Colon one of your kids? See what I did there...? I made a joke about Bartolo being fat. Don't think thats been done before.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 03:45 PM) I'm not saying I want him to change. Its more a statement on how good of a guy he really is. He didn't have to take a contract as small as he did, and he sure doesn't have to lag in coverage. But he makes those choices. Buehrle is an incredible man, as well as pitcher. I agree...I was commenting on the other pitcher/clowns. I was watching "Big Z" today do the hop-off-the-mound-fist-pump after a strikeout and thought, "really? maybe if you woulda done your job in the first place and not loaded the bases, you wouldn't HAVE to strike the guy out...jackass."

I don't want to...but I'm sure in the heat of the moment, I will.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 03:20 PM) So even if Hossa is out a couple of months, I still bet he plays more games next year than Havlat will. ^^^^^^ This.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 03:37 PM) The thing is, all Mark would have to do is run his mouth every once in a while to get attention, and he would have a $20 million a year contract some where and he would be all over ESPN. Or, if he stays the way he is, then he isn't a friggin' clown.

Dear Carlos, Make Ozzie consider keeping you up in The Show. Love, Corn.

QUOTE (Pumpkin Escobar @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 12:57 PM) Outside of us in Chicago - all White Sox players have minimal respect. Boston gets totally hosed in the deal and somehow we end up with a ridiculous amount. First - I know the Jays are desperate to move salary but they don't need to move all of it. Secondly - we couldnt afford all of that. Thirdly - they wouldn't even take that package for Halladay. Including the random Lars Anderson addition. So to add rios and rolen. Doubt it - dumping salary or not. Fourth - We couldnt get Anderson from them for Konerko + something. Fifth - Lowell would be a silly addition to the Sox to play first because there is no reason to remove Pods from the lineup. He has played very well for us. Which would mean you would be moving Dye to first I'd presume and Quentin or Rios to RF. Lots of wholes in the idea. I'm not flaming you. Just way too lopsided for us. Toronto gives up waaay too much without getting enough in return - even if they are dumping money. Boston gets next to nothing. Although - Kong in their park would be fun but no one thinks he is worth what we do. If they did - we would've had Ervin + Kendrick + Figgins or whatever rumors always swirled with him. Fixed.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 12:54 PM) I'll wait and see if anyone knows why before I answer. All right. 4 minutes is a long enough wait. Middle Buffalo is one of the names that the Indian Chief proposes as Peter's Indian name in the Grand Canyon episode of "The Brady Bunch." Peter's voice cracks with disgust when he hears it, and I've always thought it was a funny thing to randomly throw into a conversation. That also explains my avatar. Best I can tell, the Peter Brady pic is from the "porkchopsandapplesauce" episode - which is another thing we used to say way too much around my house growing up. *facepalm* DOOD!!! I totally knew that. Why couldn't I put that together? That is excellent.
