Watching the replay of the Mayweather/Ortiz fight. What a f***ing sucker punch. That said, I'm surprised there's not more talk of the fight being fixed.

Adam Dunn needs to get his eyes checked. Nice game for Rios tonight.

Morel had a great swing on his homer. Speaking of the long ball, I have no idea what happened to Dunn's power. He's squared up a few balls that weren't within 50 feet of the fence.

The speed being shown in the Alabama/Arkansas game is unreal.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 06:58 PM) It's incredible he felt the urge to speak those words on the record. So insulting to the fans. Kenny has sucked at his job for far too long (going on 3 years now of miserable transactions). I really hope both him and Ozzie are gone.

This is like Tigers Wood telling Elin that "during the course of our marriage, there was a lot of time where I was faithful and we were happy".

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 06:02 AM) At this point, I don't see why Ozzie would want to come back. He could start fresh in Florida. This team has so many issues talent wise with a fan base that cares a lot more than the fan base in Florida. Ozzie has to realize this team isn't going to magically start beating Central Division teams next season, since the personnel won't be changing much. Why would he want to go through this again? At some point when a team sucks as badly as the White Sox he will get axed. So why not just leave? A 3-4 year deal in Florida will continue to fill his wallet and wallet of his kids for generations. He may lose in Florida but it'd be with different players and he could go out on his boat to ease his nerves. If only Chicago wasn't a desert

Crazy that Kemp also has 40 steals on the year

If I didn't know better, I'd think KW is inferring that Ozzie is long gone after next week. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/break...0,2605712.story

You can cancel the post game officially

So Chen really should have a no hitter thru 6. Viciedo's "single" probably should have been an error on KC.

Ian Kinsler has some ridiculous stats this year. 27/29 on stolen bases (26 in a row), as well as a 84/71 K/BB ratio

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 01:20 AM) This I 100% agree with btw. Stewart beig guaranteed a starting spot is not setting up to compete next year, it's setting up to rebuild. Yep, if you go into next year breaking down the entire roster, then let Stewart start along with Humber/Sale/Floyd/Peavy. I really do think that the main person the Sox should be putting on the market this offseason is Konerko (besides Q and Danks, of course). I have a feeling Paul would jump at the chance to leave if he feels the Sox are rebuilding.

Well, that was a terrible start. My hope is he's the 6th starter going into next year and starts off the season in AAA. He has to show he can still consistently get hitters out, as he struggled some in the minors this year and clearly had minimal success in the majors this year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 01:14 AM) And the thing that really bugs me...Gavin Floyd got this same rant in 2007. Brent morel had it a month ago. Moistened would have gotten it if the sox had him. This is why developing guys takes effort, commitment, an struggling. Moistened?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 02:12 AM) We already have Rasmus, were just paying him more. Well, if we wanted a crappy Jon Garland clone, we could have just kept Jeff Marquez.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 02:10 AM) If only we got Colby Rasmussen, his .575 ops since that trade would fit right in!! The cardinals gave up a fortune! So for the next few years, who would you rather have: Rasmus or Stewart?

QUOTE (MAX @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 02:06 AM) You guys are so funny. I have a feeling no one was saying all this when he almost threw a pefect game. Actually, we were happy with the performance but wanted to see how he'd do against a big league lineup. His ERA against any team but the Twins this year has to be in double digits.

Balta, I really don't get your angle right now on the Jackson for Frasor/Hudson trade. Right now, it looks like a terrible trade for the Sox...don't really know how anyone else could argue differently.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 02:04 AM) Now you want those guys back? An you wonder why I'm taunting you. Huh? I never said I want them back, but the return for the second best starting pitcher traded at the deadline is absolutely awful. Frasor looks like a one and done here.

What are the fans chanting?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 01:02 AM) As far as I'm concerned Zack and Phil are nothing special. Maybe No. 5 guys; maybe. Sox are in a load of hurt next season. Humber's not bad at all. Stewart is nothing more than a AAA pitcher as of now.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 01:02 AM) I'm starting to love Stewart.. ie better draft position. This was the big trade deadline pickup... And we wonder why the Sox faded? Brilliant scouting getting Frasor and Stewart for Jackson/Teahen.

Stewart looks like he's about to cry. His body language after that last homer was pathetic.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 01:01 AM) Everytime you rip him it builds my confidence in him. You still see something in him that should make us optimistic? He's getting destroyed out there.
