fathom

Marlins losers of 5 in a row. It wouldn't shock me if they made a huge trade to try and shake things up.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 09:59 PM) Monday: Liriano- Floyd Tuesday: Devries- Quintana Wednesday: Blackburn- Peavy Seriously, 2 out of 3, or bust. Friday: Sale- Darvish Saturday: Humber- Harrison Sunday: Floyd- Oswalt Expecting to get swept. Maybe a trade happens before then. Big game tomorrow...Dunn better be on the bench.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) One wonders though...after signing that huge extension, then trading him away so quickly? Santos would have been MORE valuable to another team without that contract hanging over his head. He still had one cost-controlled year and 3 arbitration ones, where a team could go year-to-year. It's not like he was Matt Moore or David Price. It didn't (and still doesn't) make any sense, especially reversing course and re-signing Danks at roughly the same time. Or the Sox for some reason felt they knew something about Molina that seemingly no other teams knew and had to have him?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 08:53 PM) Or he knew those trades would get rescinded by the commissioner's office. You really think only the Blue Jays would be willing to make a trade without doing a physical or looking at medical reports? If Kenny traded Santos knowing he was hurt and didn't disclose it, then that's pathetic of him.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 08:51 PM) Unfortunately history is no on your side. The Sox are not Houston. 3 managers in the new century and a majority of the story stays the same. Still way, way too early to lump Ventura in with the second half struggles of Ozzie and Manuel.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 08:49 PM) The biggest deal, Molina for Santos, actually saved the White Sox $7.25 million in guaranteed salary...so you can bet that JR's not going to fire Williams for saving him from that catastrophe. Even the Danks and Peavy contracts were covered by insurance, so they're only losing 55-65 cents on the dollar. No one knows how the insurance works. KW is very lucky that Santos got hurt and was a non-factor this year, as if Santos was contributing to the Blue Jays and Molina performed as terrible as he has, then that trade would be getting a lot of bad press. It's still infuriating that KW seemingly didn't ask other teams what they'd be willing to give up to get Santos.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 08:43 PM) I don't want KW as part of a rebuilding. I completely agree with this.

Ha, Veal sent down for Floyd.

So Brewers and Marlins got swept over the weekend. Gonna be a lot more available players on the market than there might have been 5 days ago.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 08:12 PM) Memo to Kenny: DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 09:11 PM) Please come back Mr Danks. Sorry, but it's on the rest of the team to rebound. Even if Danks returns this year, it's going to be at least a month. At that point, the standings will be more clear.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 09:08 PM) Good job, good effort. Beckham really screwed us today...multiple times at the plate. Huh? He batted once representing the tying run. So did PK and Rios, and they both K'd easily. This game was all on Mr. Perfect.

Way too easy for Dotel and Benoit.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 09:00 PM) GB hitting is bulls***. We got 3 guys who can play 2nd. Just pathetic...the 23rd, 24th and 25th outs of the game made by Danks, Flowers and Beckham while AJ sits on the bench

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) so this road trip turned out to be 2-1, 1-3 and 0-3 for 3-7? Wow. And we're 1.5 out suddenly? All of a sudden it's crap for the White Sox again. Didn't know that games ended after 8 innings

Extremely impressed by Veal so far. Septimo definitely going to get sent down, it seems.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 08:50 PM) Kinda reminds me of last year's manager. It's his first year managing. No one ever told him that you're supposed to return to the bench after the ASB

Dotel just embarrassed our hitters. AJ should be batting for Beckham to start the 9th.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 08:47 PM) Surprised we didn't go to AJ and Viciedo instead of the AAA ballplayers in Danks and T Flo +1

Dotel making it look way too easy. Gotta get at least one runner on so Dunn can face Valverde.

Nice job by Jones of using the slider

Awful non-call on Cabrera

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 07:28 PM) It's all speculation at this point, Konerko apparently is saying he feels fine. Well if he feels 100%, then someone needs to tell him that the Sox don't need him swinging like an opposite field slap hitter.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 07:25 PM) Pushing Santiago a bit too hard when he hasn't been stretched out... Yep, hell of an effort by him. Septimo is gonna get sent down it would seem.

BTW, Konerko has one extra base hit in July (a weak double down the first base line)
