Adam Dunn had a real good season last year....I'm still upset we didn't trade Contreras for him two seasons ago.

I wonder how many people know about the amazing game going on right now on ESPN.

Egbert's on the 40 man. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines

Wow, season's likely over. College basketball time.

This would be quite the heartbreaker.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 14, 2007 -> 08:13 PM) He has been significantly better than Grossman was in his starts. I deleted my post, as I don't want to get into the whole Griese/Grossman debate again. Griese was atrocious today up until the last two drives.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 14, 2007 -> 08:10 PM) f***. Adrian Peterson is sick. Absolutely horrible kick by Gould on that.

Um, wow! I swear, every time I complain about Griese, he does something good.

Who is that #87?

Please let that be the last throw we have to see from Griese. A big f*** you to people who were chanting for Griese a few weeks ago.

Jon Garland for Josh Hamilton and Cueto.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Oct 14, 2007 -> 07:23 PM) this team sucks, Griese isnt nearly as bad as he was his first game but I dont notice a real upgrade..... There's no explosiveness in this offense, which is something we need with this horrible defense. Brandon McGowan is having just a horrible game.

Ah Griese....such a bad player.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Oct 14, 2007 -> 11:07 AM) The sox prospects are off to a nice start in Arizona. The four pitchers have gone a combined scoreless 8 2/3 innings. And Ryan Sweeney is 4 for 10, hitting third and playing LF. If Sweeney is healthy, I could see him in the mix for LF--esp. if the sox can get a proven CFer. I'm hoping he does well, boosts his trade value, and then is used in a package to get someone that can help the team next year.

Maybe it's me, but I don't think the Phillies are going to be in a hurry to trade for another Sox player with huge injury concerns.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Oct 12, 2007 -> 11:31 PM) Remember when the Red Sox gave us a "run for our money" in 2005? Oh, wait, we swept them. McCarver's an idiot. He meant the Indians during the regular season.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 12, 2007 -> 03:40 PM) He won't get that much, but he will get more than a lot of people think. I wouldn't be surprised if someone gives him $12 million a year. Yet people still don't comprehend why were so mad about the Vazquez/Young trade, and the debacle that's been Brian Anderson.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Oct 11, 2007 -> 03:56 AM) Oh God, I accidentally watched sportscenter after the game and caught Poetry Corner with Stuart Scott. All I can say is, are you serious? Yeah, it's probably the lamest thing to ever be on television.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 10:44 PM) Can someone please tell Brandan Wright he left to early and he's not ready? Anyways, I'm excited that UNC is #1 in most polls, but I really don't know that they are better than Memphis. Memphis may be undisciplined, but they are ridiculously talented. Their backcourt possibilities are insane. Adding Shawn Taggert to Joey Dorsey and Dozier is pretty formidable in the frontcourt as well. I would be fine if UNC never had to play them this year :-). As for my Texas Techies. They should be a tourney team again. Knight finally decided he would recruit again and pulled in his best TTU class yet with several top 10 Texas players, and even added a solid transfer and a big man that sat out with injury. He has about 10 guys that can play, but will most likely settle on a 7-8 man rotation again. Is it Zeno....Burgess......................................and the rest of the team? Seems like Zeno's going to have to average 23 ppg for them to be good.

QUOTE(29andPoplar @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 11:37 PM) Here's one to ponder: Lew Ford got outrighted off the Twins 40 man roster. Not sure if he chose to become a FA. He's really bad now though. A couple of years ago, he would have been a perfect fit with Pods in LF. However, I'd pass on him now.

Shumpert will announce next Thursday.

QUOTE(29andPoplar @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 08:16 PM) A perfect example of what the White Sox guy said. Didn't KW say that he was shocked by how much guys like Pierre and Roberts were getting offered, so he thought that Pods, at the price they could bring him back at, was the better baseball decision?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 07:24 PM) Stop for a second... We are supposed to believe the Kenny Williams is going to go after a Scott Boras client who just hit .222 and is asking for 7 years and $140 million? One who has been yanked from games for being lazy and alouf? Sorry with guys like Rowand, Cameron, and Hunter out there, plus a guy from Japan that might be interested in Chicago, I just don't buy it. To me it sounds like Boras trying get some bidders. Trust me, I want the Sox to have nothing to do with Andruw Jones.

QUOTE(rockren @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 07:43 PM) Hi, everyone. This is my first post on this board and I look forward to posting here daily for years to come with all of you. I'd have to say this deal wouldn't make sense at all. Mainly because the re-signings of MB and Dye have shown that we're not about to just cut payroll, which is exactly what a deal like this would be trying to do. I saw Shields pitch 5 or 6 times this year and he's clearly in decline. I'd rather just get some lightning rod arms and throw them in the pen for cheap rather than on overpriced middle reliever that's on his way down. Yeah, since that worked so well this year. Welcome to the site though!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 07:28 PM) Are you telling me the Sox won't put Egbert on the 40 man roster? Even with these two needing to be placed, they will move someone else and make room. It's very possible they don't put him on the 40-man.
