Time for KW to make a trade for a starting pitcher.

This bullpen is in serious need of another arm from the right side.

Orioles win 11-10!

Ford for Durham, it sounds like

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 03:14 AM) Where are you hearing this? I haven't read Salome's name anywhere but here. I clicked on the Milwaukee Journal site that's linked on rotoworld, and there were some comments in it.

I'm still concerned about Linebrink's health.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 03:04 AM) If you look at the first post, they mentioned that. Yes, but giving up Salome as the "other player" would be quite a lot for two players who aren't exactly impact players. Salome is the 2nd best catching prospect in baseball, according to some.

Rumor out there of Salome and Ford for Taschner and Durham.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 02:55 AM) What happened? Dye got hit by a pitch on the outside part of his left knee.

Terrible ending with Dye there to a terrible game.

It's not for Street, according to the latest update.

Look for it to be Salome and Ford for Street, if indeed it is for the closer.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 02:31 AM) As many times as we play these teams, we're going to lose some to them. I think this is our first loss in The Cell to these stiffs this year. I wish we could go 18-1 versus KC but it ain't gonna happen (assuming we play them 19 times; I think that's it). It would be nice to win every series we play against them, though. This is a fantastic post.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 01:24 AM) A chance to be out of 1st, a chance to lose 2/3 to the awful Royals, and then the Rangers come to town, and knowing our luck, they'll score 3 tomorrow only to come here for Mon.-Wed. and score 43 runs in 3 games. If it makes you feel better, Cubs fans are in a full state of panic right now.

If the Twins continue to win 75 pct of their games, it's just a matter of time before they're in first place. Right now, you just have to tip your cap to them. The Sox's bullpen, starters, and defense is killing them right now.

BTW, in the 13 games that our bullpen has pitched since that Sunday Night game with Morgan, our bullpen has allowed a run.

The curse of Joe Morgan continues. Has our bullpen had a scoreless game since Morgan said it was the best bullpen ever?

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 01:19 AM) And Minnesota just blows the balls out of the best offense ever when we played them. It's called home/road splits

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 01:18 AM) Does anybody get the sense that tomorrow is a must win now? Nope, but feel free to start a thread about it.

Like I said last night, we need to add one more righty to our bullpen if Linebrink is going to have a tight leash.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 01:15 AM) I didn't like that move to bring in Masset. Did Linebrink pitch last night? No, there's been no sightings of him for over a week.

Masset is freaking awful in these situations. We have to stop pitching him late in the game. He's a long reliever, end of story.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 01:07 AM) We got 2 hits all night, TERRIBLE. Konerko and Swisher are just terrible hitters.

PK is just so worthless. We had our chances that inning with some good hitters counts, but their guys made good pitches.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 01:01 AM) Well, whether you think Thome's clutch or not, you just got an example of why having him come up late in games is helpful...Meche is out. That's true, even though my good feeling is gone now that he's facing a lefty reliever.
