QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 02:40 AM) Nice job by Santiago to hold them. 0-23 with RISP the last two nights for Texas

Sure seems like this would have been a good inning for Nate Jones, and then you save Santiago in case you need long relief in Minnesota.

QUOTE (59th street @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 02:33 AM) Why would he tell KW when you are the one who made the unrealistic list? Floyd really battled tonight against a greed team,poor defense, a questionable strike zone and ZERO offense support. I think he did a great job despite all the ridiculous comments from the usual posters about being weak mentally. He looked like the strongest member of our team tonight! GO GO WHITE SOX! I just don't understand why people want to trade him so quickly with how fragile the starting rotation is right now. I don't think we want another situation where Axelrod has to pitch on 3 days rest, etc.

Feldman doing his best Porcello impersonation tonight.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:26 AM) Tell KW it is unrealistic not me. He knows, why do you think he went after Liriano instead of the big name guys?

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:26 AM) Jesus christ Beckham. Feel free to stop being useless any time at all. I hate the idea of leading him off just cause ADA is out. oh well, likely nothing would have mattered tonight.

Sox sure are being too aggressive against a pitcher who doesn't strikeout a lot of hitters.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:24 AM) Great start by the G man I give it like a C

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:21 AM) Do not change the question mid stream you said Floyd is better option than anyone we could get in a trade. Do not add the hurting the squad BS! J.Johnson, Dempster, Shields as a start! And none of those are realistic options, IMO. Johnson and Shields cost too much and Dempster wouldn't approve a trade to the Sox. Also, it should be assumed that if they did try to get someone like Johnson or Shields, it would cost them a few players off the big league squad due to the farm system being bare of top prospects.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:17 AM) You said Blanton not me...............I can make a list of pitchers I would want over GF in a trade. Sox better trade him now or suffer with his enept ass. Who would these pitchers be the Sox could realistically get without hurting the big league squad?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:13 AM) Who would you rather have, Floyd or Blanton? I'll be honest, I have more faith in Floyd to perform well the rest of the way as I do anyone else in the rotation.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:10 AM) And he gave up 0 earned runs. But the complainers will complain. With the way people post about Gavin you'd think he'd have an ERA over 6. Not only under 4.3. He's a better option than anyone the Sox could possibly trade for right now.

That's a bad effort by Viciedo on the 0-0 pitch

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:02 AM) gotta give props to Floyd, pitching a lot better than I thought he would especially given the k-zone and zero run support with that said, can't wait til he's traded I can't picture any scenario where Floyd is traded. Sale's being skipped a few starts, so you need 6 starters.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 12:58 AM) Too bad. Flowers is crushing right now. I'd love to see a back-up catcher brought in, but it's doubtful based on how Flowers has performed defensively. The scary thing is if AJ re-injures his oblique, and you're left trying to find a catcher on the waiver wire.

Any updates on ADA and AJ?

QUOTE (Caesar @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 12:48 AM) Oh well. I'll take 2 of 3 in Texas every time. This game is far from over

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 12:47 AM) That was a tough play, tough to get a throw off and a good throw won't get him anyway Huh? It was a pretty simple play for Dunn with the play right in front of him.

Defense decided to take the night off. Gavin, you have to look the runner back.

Beckham and Youk hit those two grounders a combined 20 feet.

Tyler Flowers thinks he has a good eye, but he just has no concept of the strike zone.

I've missed the first 4 innings. Have the Sox had good at bats so far?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 07:56 PM) Please. Danks go through five seasons without a significant injury. Prior go through one. They aren't even close to the same. I wasn't referring to injury history, but rather to a situation where they couldn't find anything yet the pitcher just didn't seem comfortable throwing.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 08:41 PM) Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale Kenny Williams says the #WhiteSox still looking to add, this time, likely a position player Which means it's a reliever

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 07:33 PM) What is surgery going to do? I thought everything was structurally okay? I'm really confused at what is going on. All kinds of reports of no issues. Is Danks going to go all Scott Kazmir and just fall off the face of the earth? I'm getting worried that might be the case. Especially with it being a shoulder injury, those are things many people never recover from. I hope I'm wrong. It really sounds like no one has a clue what is going on. Yep, beginning to remind me of Mark Prior
