fathom

I was just typing up the Casilla news. That's great for the Sox, as Casilla's been a huge catalyst for them.

Sounds like Ozzie's about to go on a huge rant. I actually support him sticking up for his players here...but he doesn't have to be such a tool about it. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...1,1504762.story

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:01 AM) His should be replacements had some nice swings too. Paulie still killed us with his defense tonight, and shouldn't keep playing based on a single and a hard out. Brian Anderson has a terrible defensive inning in the 5th.

If we lose tomorrow, at least we won't have to hear KW say the reason we didn't make any deals was because he didn't want to break up a 1st place club.

Ozzie believes that Morneau is the best hitter in baseball. Maybe he should stop letting him beat the Sox. When you have a rookie in his 2nd career start who gets hit by a vicious ground ball after 5 of 7 hitters reach base, you have to pull him.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:55 AM) "Ozzie is leaving Konerko in the line-up" Oh f***. After his last two swings, I think he should be playing.

STOP SWINGING AT THE FIRST f***ING PITCH CQ!

How in the world did that get out?

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:48 AM) Not because of him, but the fact they are simply rolling right now. People said the same thing about the Brewers with C.C. last week.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:49 AM) That is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The only reason I thought it could be true was how hard KW seemed to be working OC deals this last week.

It sucks that we have 5 games left at this place this season. That's a lot of games to make up if we can't be competitive here.

QUOTE (quickman @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:46 AM) I hope so my friend, I have a feeling that beckam might be more fit for third in a few years anyway. They also invested in Morel who I do not think will pan out, but I do think its a sign that Fields is or will be on the block. just have to get the right guy for him in return. My brother heard a rumor today that the Sox aren't interested in offering OC arbitration this offseason, as they don't want the compensation picks.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:46 AM) Halos got Tex.. are they world series guarantees now or what? No, and I can't believe someone would even ask that.

If the Sox were out of contention, we could probably get a fortune for Dotel.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:43 AM) Any idea what his contract looks like? A couple of pages with some typing on it.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:42 AM) Who are you wagering on playing third next year? Hopefully not Juan. Someone with speed (Chone?)

QUOTE (quickman @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:41 AM) i don't know why you would waste dotel here, you may need him the next two days. agreed, makes absolutely no sense.

QUOTE (quickman @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:38 AM) get used to it, you will see him all year next year. He is a strikeout king with no glove. I'd bet he's not.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:38 AM) The sad part is that BA would bat again next inning if he hadn't have been removed from the game Who cares, he'd have no chance vs Nathan. I'd rather see Swisher against him.

Just an awful at bat by Fields. I'd rather just not have to watch him ever bat against RHP.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:34 AM) uhhh...why isn't Wise pinch running? Why would he, that run means nothing.

Fantastic managing by Gardenhire here, as he's trying to prevent Ozzie from using AJP by showing Breslow in the pen.

Hey, nice rocket by PK. Keep it going Lexi.

QUOTE (quickman @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:28 AM) Do you think the whitesox will lose tonight? Absolutely, and I think they win 1 game the rest of this week.

QUOTE (quickman @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:26 AM) well personally I think its hits batting stance, he changed it in spring training, and he has sucked every since then. I realize injuries have somethign to do with it, but the guy is done. his fielding has taken a hit as well. We cannot afford him right now, and I think you will see ozzie give him one more week and then he will have a reduced role. He needs to go back to the leg kick for his timing mechanism. Right now, his hands are way too close to his body due to his late start. That's why he either fists stuff to the right side or rolls over on it to the left side.
