QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 30, 2007 -> 02:29 AM) I don't think Count's is being traded anymore according to the latest Buehrle rumors. Yep, that's just super. As Phil Rogers so wisely puts it, we're a year away from our back end of the rotation becoming the front end. Contreras will never put up an ERA under 4.75 again...his stuff is just too mediocre.

QUOTE(chisox2334 @ Jun 30, 2007 -> 02:10 AM) someone on the whitesoxinteractive reported that buerhle camp rejected sox offer and sox will continue to look trade him This wouldn't be surprising...I don't know what else could happen this year to make things worse for our organiztion. The quote is taken from Joe Cowley. I honestly think the Sox need to trade him then before Monday night's start.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 30, 2007 -> 02:22 AM) Uh, no. Half the losses haven't been because Ozzie did this. Not even close. Today was a bad call, but I can't be upset with Ozzie for keeping his starter in after his starter told him he'd like to stay in. Ozzie's a player's manager and this'll happen sometimes with different results each time. Yes, but this was more than just winning or losing. Ozzie knows what KW's trying to do behind the scenes.

I've seen some impressive feats this year, but leaving a starting pitcher in the game 4 batters too long might top the list. I don't care if they win or lose right now, but Ozzie leaving Contreras in to die is just f***ing retarded with regards to his trade value.

Holy cow, Thome stinks so much right now. He's so non-aggressive at the plate.

KW is a genius if he can get anything of value for Contreras. It's so obvious he has nothing left. That weak slider he throws might be the worst offspeed pitch in baseball.

Jermaine Dye really looks like Michael Jordan standing up in the dugout.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jun 30, 2007 -> 12:47 AM) Will the Sox consider dealing him? You think so? No clue, but if the rumors are true about how much pain he's had to play in the last two years, it would seem like he's going to have a lot more injury issues the next two years.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jun 30, 2007 -> 12:45 AM) YOUTUBE..NOW~! Is the Pods bandwagon out of the gates yet? Now that his average is down around .275, at least we won't have to hear the every other year crap about him. Brian Bannister should never, ever be able to get Jim Thome out. With Giambi not healing, I wonder if the Yanks will consider Thome.

The Andy Gonzalez bandwagon has come to a screeching halt.

Bannister has the type of stuff that would have made our scouts drool before this year's change in philosophy.

Two of the better fastballs this year for Contreras....pull him!!!!

Really important for Contreras to have a good start.

It's amazing how many different topics have been discussed in one thread.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 09:36 PM) I can't believe neither Weeks or Fielder dove for that weak grounder Fontenot hit in the 9th. Get your jersey dirty, boys. Who knows if it would of mattered. Why were they holding the runner on?

QUOTE(bulokis @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 09:31 PM) Cubs are starting to believe, hehehe. I hate this bcoz we'll start hearing this Cubs is a team of destiny. They've sure been swinging a magical stick late in games lately.

I hate this baseball season. Everything that could go wrong is. The worst part of it is if the Cubs go on to make the playoffs, they'll say it's because of the series they swept us in.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 04:37 PM) Errr, whatever. Can we get back on topic here? This waiting is killing me. Question: do we think that if this deal happens or not, it would be wrapped up before tonight's game either way? If there's a deal, it won't be announced until Monday. Between the Bulls draft and the big Cubs series, Monday would be the perfect time to announce it prior to Buehrle taking the mound at the Cell.

Watched Nancy Grace before....Chris Jericho has "it" even when doing an interview about a murderer.

Hahn leaving is interesting....if we don't know anything by tomorrow night, it's doubtful that Buehrle is staying here.

FWIW, Richar isn't playing for Charlotte again tonight. Is he injured?

Ah....the great Jim Thome experience against lefties continues. Why not give him a break against a tough lefty, and let Hall DH?

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 28, 2007 -> 11:46 PM) For the record, I still hate Scott Podsednik ... and George Offman. I just hope Pods ends up around .250 again, and there will be no thought at all of bringing him back.

Nice to see some offense against a tough pitcher.

So I take it Levine and the Score with nothing new today?
