QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:30 PM) He was declining. Look at the numbers. There were also a lot of questions about his character and desire to play baseball too. Worked out though. 2004 was his second best season with the mariners.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:31 PM) You think everyone's thinking too big now due to the possible coincidence with Bradley Jr. leaving the game? No doubt, I'm with you on Bradley.

QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:28 PM) Olney, Heyman, and Bowden all tweet basically the same thing within minutes of each other... Is this the first time we have seen all three report the same thing at the same time? Might actually be true. It's happening! It's finally happening!

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:28 PM) Remember when you had to give up a top 25 prospect who hit .400, a promising young starting catcher with a laser arm and a low minors power hitter for a declining, fat, drunk and sweaty Freddie? Heh, 27 years old, declining, heh

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:24 PM) Bradley Jr has an elbow injury. That's why he was pulled. And John Farrell said he just wanted to get Snyder in the game, that's why he pulled Iglesias. I guess we believe what we choose to believe at this point.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:20 PM) Did Farmer say after the game on the radio tonight that Quintana is starting tomorrow? Saw it on twitter, so not sure of the validity of it. He was originally scheduled to go, not exactly going out on a limb saying Farmer may be confused.

What team is gonna trade for Rios if he's gonna leave the game every dang time he fouls a ball off his foot! Grow a pair Alexis!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:09 PM) Fake tweet? Really?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:00 PM) The GIF boom is the best thing to happen to sports dissemination since the invention of the television.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:57 PM) FWIW, Indians have now won 6 in a row to keep the heat on DET (Veras move, Verlander still struggling). A lot of it is about "attitude," I'll agree there with the Indians' announcers and Harrelson's TWTW. Miggy re-aggravated his injury today.

Breaking: Jake Peavy has contracted the ebola virus, trade unlikely.

ah, s*** Well, I've had about enough White Sox baseball for the week.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:37 PM) Pretty gutsy on his part to wait until the 8th inning of the last game before the trade deadline to fake an injury to avoid a trade. It's pretty damn impressive that he's able to intentionally foul the ball off his ankle, shows incredible bat control, could this actually backfire on him and increase his trade value?

I like how since Hawk criticizes umpires so frequently and fervently that when a play on the field involves an umpire and he was in no way at fault Hawk has to go out of his way to let us know.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:24 PM) Renaudo was pulled after going 6.2 innings. Dude threw 98 pitches, sure seems like a coincidence.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:16 PM) And certainly not for Peavy. Agreed, they'd have pulled Bogaerts if a Peavy deal were close.

Jeff Passan @JeffPassan Source: Jackie Bradley Jr. and Anthony Ranaudo not involved in any trade at the moment.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 07:56 PM) You should sit in the bleachers some time... Luckily the one game I saw at Jacob's Field I was about as far away from the drum as possible.

Dear Lord I hate that f***ing drum.

Except that scorched single to right, Hawk.

heh white sox

John Perrotto @jperrotto Am told only way #Pirates part with Taillon is in deal for Peavy, Ramirez and #WhiteSox also putting in plenty of cash. 6:29pm · 30 Jul 13 · web That dude from earlier.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:57 PM) He's got a lot more power than Conor though. Drawing some walks would also help his cause. That's my issue with him, the top position player coming back having a nice BB% would be preferable.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:55 PM) Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 1m White Sox are said to be sticking to high asking price for Peavy. Teams are wondering if they'll get more flexible as deadline nears. Rick sticking to his guns! Hey, look, conflicting reports! This s*** isn't getting annoying as hell or anything.
