QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 12:24 AM) He would have already made trades if the sox didn't have a good series against the Tigers and won the first game against Boston. My worst fear is the sox take 2/3 against Boston but then struggle a bit and KW loses out on more deals for the future cause of this usual "tease". I think it's too late, and your fears have been realized with regards to KW going for it instead of trading guys.

So speaking of tomorrow's game, if you want to get drunk, you should take a shot whenever Hawk says "Nintendo". Our hitters better be patient, cause Miller has no control. I'm sure we'll have 4 lefties in the lineup, or something along those lines.

Sure is a good thing we're going to a 5 man rotation now with two guys who can't make it past 65 pitches. Zach Stewart will be starting by August 10th, IMO.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 12:20 AM) As of right now, I'd say us and the Braves are the big losers this deadline (of the team with October aspirations). Sadly, this is shaping up to be a worst case scenario this week

Well, if Boston would have initially bunted with Salty, it's 1-0 going into bottom of the 5th

QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 01:18 AM) 1st and 3rd now. Humber has lost my seal of approval to continue starting baseball games. Like Peavy, this is unacceptable. Peavy wishes he could have Humber's success this year.

Sorry Ozzie, you actually have to put together a lineup that can score runs against these guys.

The Humber collapse coming earlier than usual. Man do I wish the Indians getting Jimenez and the Tigers getting pitching help causes KW to re-think going for it this year.

2 for 70...yay. Can't wait to see that get to 2 for 80 by Monday night

Excellent 3-2 pitch! Don't get Papi hurt you here.

Beckham had a lot more time than he thought on that grounder.

Nice 7 pitch inning by our NL lineup

Beckham overmatched. Sox doing a terrible job of swinging at balls and taking strikes so far.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 12:46 AM) He's also pulling his head. He'll either hit a grounder to SS or 3B or a little pop up to the right side. If we're still trying to win, it's so bogus we keep playing him. Same goes for Dunn playing in any of the next 3 games.

Rios needs to go up to the plate and just pretend he's Cecil Fielder and put all of his weight into the swing. This current bulls*** stance/swing gives him no power at all.

I'm happy if Indians made that deal. Lots to give up for someone with a lot of question marks this year.

I'm so glad we're playing Rios tonight. Shocking he couldn't get the job done with RISP and 2 outs.

Quade's going to go down as one of the worst coaches/managers to ever lead a Chicago team.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 07:31 PM) Not sure if you want Lilly against a knuckleballer pitcher, that might make his swing even bigger, if that's possible? He hit Wakefield hard earlier in the year and righties are much better against Wakefield. Thankfully Gavin pitched well and we got a timely homer.

I must have missed the hate for Jackson. Last few weeks, everyone on here has been saying he's one of the best pitchers on the market. Do we hate Kenny for trading cost-controlled Hudson for Jackson and his heavy salary...yes

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 08:27 PM) I hate the Rios move. You just won 2 games in a row without him and now you insert him back into your lineup. Wouldn't be so bad if he was actually decent defensively this year. However, that hasn't been the case. Lillibridge should have been starting last night as well as tonight.

In case you haven't seen, Holland is 3 outs away from another shutout

Oh great, Furcal is playing in a stadium named after an alcoholic beverage.

Rios over Lillibridge is disappointing

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 06:26 PM) There certainly is...a win today and a big lead tomorrow would go a long way... Sale and Ohman are perfectly capable of being the lefties out of the pen.
