Hope DV plays tonight.

Flowers should be backup catcher next year hands down GRANDSLAM No Flowers or DV it is still 0-0 LOL!

Normally, you do blame the GM because the Manager isn't allowed to openly defy the GM on decisions. Otherwise, teh GM would fire the manager. It's been made abundantly clear here though that the GM does not have the authority on his own to fire the manager, the manager has extra protection thanks to the owner. A recipe for a crap .500 team last weekend in August. Clean the house up this offseason.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 04:09 PM) Dayan will be benched tomorrow . For sure with idiot Guillen.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 04:06 PM) But we couldnt find a place to play him lol Shows how out of touch OG is with this team.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2011 -> 04:05 PM) I'm glad they didn't call him up earlier. He is 2 ABs in and has 1 less hit vs. LHP than Dunn has all year. So sad isn't it.

No way we could of used DV earlier this year...............nice job OG and KW.

Waited too dam long to make any difference now.

I was told it was the Angels or Indians 2 days ago so my guy was right.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 05:21 PM) Can't understand why Thome wants to play out the string in Cleveland, but whatever. I can see why full circle for JT.

Jordan Danks can go.

Per Rotoworld Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the White Sox were awarded the claim on Twins' outfielder Jason Kubel. It's unlikely that a deal is actually made. Kubel is on the cusp of being a Type A free agent, so the Twins would likely want a significant return. Besides, the White Sox may have claimed him simply to block him from getting to the Indians.

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 01:40 PM) Werent you the one who said the Angels got him? I did the info I got was wrong. I will take the heat!

Kubel could be a type A FA no way Sox get him. He is a high B right now.

6-0 LAA

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:52 PM) Is he back under .160 yet? No .165

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:48 PM) Stewart rebounding to have a solid start Sox were never going to show any balls to win this game anyway! He has been ok last few innings.

Dunn DP what new!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:39 PM) Thanks, Soxfest. I'll have to find some arms for the new GM, lol. Maybe I can find Jerry Krause's number...but I think he's only responsible for Latin America and not Asian scouting. You can find Sox a stud in the Pacific rim!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:38 PM) I tune in and see we're down 4-0. Are Zach and Humber both just average guys for the future? No disrespect to them, but aren't they both going to be part of a very average staff next year? Neither of those guys are gonna be outstanding are they? Mid rotation guys Humber #3...............Stewart #4/5

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:34 PM) Yep, going back to Shanghai and my teaching job this Friday....have to stay near O'Hare tmrw night. Goodbye to US and gaining 12 pounds in 4 weeks, haha. I came weighing 180 and now have to get back into shape playing badminton and ping pong, lol. At least I did get to see the Royals/Red Sox last Thursday and paid $14.00 with free parking because we were so late! Have a safe trip C-12.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:28 PM) Tyler Flowers has already thrown out half as many baserunners as A.J. Pierzynski, in one-eighth of the innings. Tru-Dat

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 10:25 PM) Despite losing, yesterday's game still disproves this. I'm liking Flowers behind the plate more and more. PK is 1-6 this series .167............1 hit and 1 RBI..............I like Flowers more than Castro anyday.

Wells even 2-2
