I wonder if they'll consider Gio for Jose's next start.

Looks like Gavin is throwing his fastball around 89 mph now....shocking!

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 01:13 AM) How about the Brewers... Finally something we can both agree on.

I'd rather he stay in the .230 range, hit 25 homers, and we get him at a good rate. Yeah - hopefully we can lock him up in the next week or so. Assuming we don't what do you think the max he fetches in the offseason in yrs and dollars? No clue, but he's going to want 3 or 4 years.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 12:44 AM) I'm sorry, you must have known he was going to be great since the day he was born. Please. There hasn't been a day in the last month where I haven't heard the same line from you regarding different players. What in the world are you referring to? That's funny, because I've been less active on this site over the last few weeks than any time during the last three years.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 12:43 AM) Not exactly. He's on a roll right now.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 12:41 AM) Big whoop. He hit Charles Haeger. Give it a rest. Yep, I hate 22 year old players who put up an OPS over .750 and switch hit. How about you give it a rest, and stop trying to negate every post someone makes?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 12:39 AM) No he hasn't. He's having a better statistical season than 05. Who the hell cares about batting average as a stat? His slugging was much better in 2005.

I still love the people on here who thought Melky would be a terrible acquisition in a trade. Trade proposals bring out the worst in people on this site.

Good grief, Uribe's defense is so bad this year. And I totally forgot that AJ's last homer this year was the slam vs the Cubs. He's had such a bad year as well.

What a nightmare of a day.

QUOTE(frankie5angels @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 11:21 PM) Maybe Jose will just quit, after being embarassed start after start. This better be his last start for a while.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 11:21 PM) I have no evidence that they do. They do, it's pretty common knowledge.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 11:20 PM) Jose absolutely blows ass. He's on pace to have one of the worst seasons in Sox history for a full-time starting pitcher.

Just DL him for the season. What a pathetic day for the White Sox.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 08:38 PM) God forbid a player be sentimental about a team he not only worked for, but loved. :rolleyes. I always thought it was awesome that he was at Game 2 of the WS going nuts at the Cell.

Yep, the Dye situation isn't even close to being the biggest issue that just impacted the Sox. We were unable to even get rid of half of Jose's remaining contract. I hope it was worth it leaving him in to get destroyed late in games over the last month. I predict he gives up at least 7 runs tonight if he lasts 5 innings.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 08:22 PM) ETA: One thing I do definitely blame KW for and agree with you on is the LF/CF situation this year. That was, far and away, his biggest screw-up. and the bullpen (also known as the two spots where everyone knew KW had to upgrade). Not only that, but the prospects for next season look even worse than this year. It's conceivable that the only way we can compete next year is if we spend a fortune in the FA market.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 08:21 PM) Yes, they werent offered up for a player that was basically a league MVP last season, and a WS MVP the season before that. KW couldnt get value so he didnt. In fact signing Dye to an extension would be a move that is even better value, and helps the ballclub. Im glad we didnt give away Dye for nothing. Yes, but if they re-sign Dye, then they're going to have to clear some payroll. That means Garland is likely gone, and we still have the $20 million albatross in the rotation. I've been saying for two weeks now we should extend Dye, but I'm not so sure he'll "help" us out with the contract we'd try to get him to sign.

QUOTE(toasty @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 08:16 PM) i dont neccessarily like the return for mack, but we have too friggen many super-sub utility types on this team it's good to get one gone Now Ozzie can use his new toy, Gonzalez, even more. It took Ozzie a year and a half to finally start using Mackowiak the right way, and now he's gone.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 08:14 PM) I'm glad Williams has decided to help our future move in the right direction by acquiring one A, one high A reliever. We're bound to cotend next season with these shrewd moves. He's really done an horrific job. We're no better today than yesterday. Our future hasn't improved one bit. KW should be fired for this season, but it won't happen. This organization is in shambles in terms of personnel.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 08:12 PM) Wow. I hope that someone sees the irony of people b****ing about the return for Mack and Gooch, yet being angry about not giving up Dye for two pieces of crap. Come on, there's a huge difference between Link and Dubee compared to WMP.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 08:06 PM) f***ing fabulous The amazing thing is that we'll still have KW as GM, Ozzie as manager, and Walker/Cooper back next year in the same roles.
