Did Bud Selig pass a ruling that the Cubs must face Dave Bush in every series between the teams? Heck, he got demoted to the bullpen, and he's still finding a way to start against the Cubs!

Big 10 desperately wants Maryland or Ga Tech

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:51 PM) Flowers is currently hitting .228 with a 1/3 BB/K ratio at Charlotte. I'd rather keep him down there until the rosters expand. Has Kenny ever thrown in money to get a better prospect in a trade? I can't remember him ever doing that. Flowers is also playing better over the last week, and I'm a huge believer that you should give him time in the majors this year in order to see if he can even be in your big league plans next season.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:49 PM) Yeah, for whatever reason, Law is always unusually critical of the Sox. I just saw an analysis of the draft somewhere last night, stating the Sox had one of the better drafts in MLB. Our second day was average...nothing special, nothing awful. But of course, the big headline was something about how it's a tale of two Sox (Red Sox being the best).

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 04:43 PM) I don't really care if we trade AJ or not. He's not costing an arm and a leg and we're not going to get much in return. The extra draft pick may be similar in value. We'd save like 4 million dollars, as well as opening up playing time for Flowers. As I mentioned earlier, if we trade him to Texas, it wouldn't shock me though if we throw in money and get a much better prospect (since Texas has all those financial issues).

So did anyone see who Keith Law said had the worst second day of the draft? That's right, KW and the Sox. Did KW run over Keith Law's puppies or something?

QUOTE (hogan873 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 04:19 PM) As long as he doesn't get another at bat, he'll keep his .500 BA. Well, he could not get another at bat all year, and the way things are going, he'll end up with the same amount of home runs as Beckham/Buehrle/Pierre/Vizquel/Barry Bonds combined

So with that Millwood news, it seems like Garcia would be a better fit.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 04:07 PM) Exactly, Brent should be on the front cover of the Trib and the back cover of the SunTimes. Cover of SI this coming week should say "Lillibomb", and show his pose. I just hope the SI jinx doesn't cause him to go into a funk. What's the chances he can keep up is .500 batting average?

Garcia probably makes more sense, but if the Cards are willing to take Buehrle's contract and give us a high-level prospect, along with a power bullpen arm like M. Boggs, I will gladly thank Buehrle for his amazing career here....and then drive him to the airport.

I feel like the Chicago media is covering the wrong story today. The Blackhawks will very likely win another Stanley Cup in the next 5 years. Lillibridge will never hit a longer home run than he did last night. Poor White Sox, always getting the s***ty press coverage.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 06:03 AM) Homerun called on a replay? That's a good one!

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 04:37 AM) I'm very happy for it, but that finish was sort of deflating. "Oh, it's over...yay!" I was trying to think what the baseball equivalent of that odd goal would have been to win the World Series?

Cards can't seem to beat any of the good teams in the NL. Swept by the Dodgers. They desperately need another starting pitcher and might need another 2B.

Who gave Lillibridge steroids?

Wow, Omar just missed a grand slam.

What do people expect KW to say? Of course he's going to make it seem like we're reloading, even if we're rebuilding.

This is the latest from my GT source about Grimes: This kid has so much potential that he was drafted higher than expected. His Junior year he was an All-American and going to be a sure fire top 5 round lock. Then he was hurt all summer long and hurt his status, well he sure did bounce back strong. Id give him a 30 percent chance he lands at GT.

PK locked in again.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 01:23 AM) Well, I saw it coming in terms of his performance...but not that he would be elevated because of the failures of others. Yeah, I just didn't think he'd be able to perform well with throwing all junk. I was thinking today how Garcia really needs to go down as one of the most important Sox pitchers in Sox history.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 01:20 AM) I'm not going to say I thought he would be the rock, but I did mention almost continously that I expected him to perform as well as a #3 starter for us. Well, you're a smart person then. Never did I see this coming.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 01:09 AM) Really? I thought you were one of the Porcello adorers? No, I'm very unimpressed by him. We roughed him up in Clayton's last start with the Sox. His stuff is nothing special.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:07 AM) So...what you're saying is...Peavy for Porcello? Hmmm...yes, I'd do that to get out of Peavy's deal.

BECKHAM DOUBLED!
