QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ May 30, 2011 -> 06:53 PM) Ahh yes, rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Hope some of you are right and it's an actual trade, though. It is quite pathetic that Harrell and Marquez are still options to make it to the big league team.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 30, 2011 -> 06:52 PM) CST_soxvan Daryl Van Schouwen Bruney, marquez up; mcpherson, harrell down 2 minutes ago so when Teahen comes back, is that when a possible trade would take place?

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 30, 2011 -> 07:37 PM) Because he just had the worst outing of his career, and insulted the game's best hitter on the field. I sure as hell hope we're not dealing him at the lowest value of his career. Thing is, I doubt Sunday's start would have any influence on a trade. If they're making a huge move now, the trade has been in the works for a few weeks then. KW and Ozzie hinted at this last week about how after June 1st, they'll be down to a 5 man rotation.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 30, 2011 -> 06:33 PM) It'd be an odd time to send down Sale so I don't think that's happening. Especially with all the lefties on Boston

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 30, 2011 -> 06:32 PM) Well it sure as hell isn't going to be Danks getting dealt then. Why you say that?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ May 30, 2011 -> 07:23 PM) That was my first thought. You have Marquez taking Harrell's spot. Bruney is either taking Sale's spot (very unlikely, as that's basically throwing in the towel for this year) or he's going into the pen as we go from a 6 man to a 5 man rotation with one of the starters no longer being on the roster.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 30, 2011 -> 03:21 AM) I challenge you to watch any other game and not point out five to 10 glaring errors by the manager of the losing team. Managers who manage good players win; managers who manage bad and/or/ lazy players lose. There are the rare buffoons like Bevington. three best managers in the AL, in my opinion, are Acta, Scioscia, and Maddon. Even last year, I thought Acta made some terrific tactical moves during the game to put his team in the best chance to succeed. I'm of the opinion that in the end, it's up to the players to execute. However, the manager is responsible for putting those players into a position where they have the best chance to succeed. It's blown me away this year how poorly Ozzie has done this. If Ozzie Guillen cares more about Adam Dunn's feelings than trying to win games, then I hope they're happy when he's managing Dunn for the Newark Bears in 2013.

If Marquez and Bruney are coming up, that means someone's getting traded (Jackson or Danks).

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ May 30, 2011 -> 12:02 AM) Designing a team around some kind if mythical "chemistry" is ridiculous. You win games - you get chemistry. That's it. The team won games in 2008, and the chemistry seemed to be HORRIBLE.

I love headlines like "Ozzie rips White Sox fans".

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 29, 2011 -> 06:33 PM) I am SUPER glad Danks declined that extension! He has nothing. His stuff is so mediocre this year. Everything is up in the zone. I'm not going to be sad if we get swept in Boston if it results in Danks being traded and Ozzie/Walker fired.

Isn't it time to remove Danks from the rotation? Winless on the season....might as well do our best to trade him in the next few days.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ May 29, 2011 -> 06:24 PM) best player? yes. mvp? no OMG, this is a ridiculous statement

Danks is costing himself a fortune right now.

Ginger, how can you complain about Thornton? He got Patterson to hit a routine ground ball, it's just some idiot made an AWFUL decision on who should be covering the steal attempt (of one of the slower players in baseball).

Just got home to see we loss, and Ozzie continues to kill this team's chances by not realizing how bad Dunn is right now. When Lillibridge is your most dangerous hitter....your team sucks.

Omar looking like he needs a day off at the plate.

Rios is still immune from contributing to a win.

Way to go Sale!!!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 28, 2011 -> 08:11 PM) Fathom says it all the time. I really think Ozzie wants to get fired. Ozzie is more scared of Matt Stairs than he is Bautista.

Wild pitch is scary possibility here

Sure glad we have two righties in the pen we can trust.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 28, 2011 -> 08:06 PM) Not a chance. Trust me. They are so high on that kid. Maybe a couple of their other, I don't know, 5 high upside starters. But Teheran is going nowhere. They don't need Danks when they can promote guys like Minor or Julio T

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 28, 2011 -> 08:05 PM) I wonder how many walk off wins we have at home. This is going to be another sad moment for us loyal Soxtalk fans. We're in the bottom 3 over the last three years I believe.

Sale's not throwing the ball very hard this inning.
