QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) Whoa, hold the Fock up there. Do not, and I repeat do not ever say anything bad about the chili in the Nati. I crave Skyline every time I go out, and that stuff is undiscovered gold in my mind. I will always be a Reds fan, but this was a case of them holding on too tighly to a local hero. Young could of been a star in the making for them, and really solidified their future. Rogo could of taken the place of Washed up Casey, and they would've come out looking decent in that deal. Griff prob would of Dh'ed for us alot, and we would be more deadly, but I suspect that he will still be dealt through waivers. As a person that had to go to Cincy a lot for work I was subjected to that filth they call chili a bunch of times. It has nutmeg and chocolate in it and crap. Its not chili but runny crap. Chili is best southwest style, nice and hot. If you want something sweet I suggest an ice cream cone.

George Offerman is on the Score talking about how his "sources" are telling him that KW was close to a major deal. His "sources" told him it may have been Griffey or Dunn. George's "sources" are a browser and google. What a sham he is.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:57 AM) The Yankees are desperately looking for a CF and have boatloads of money, correct? Sadly I think this is correct. The Yanks who have gobs of money and want a CF would grab Griffey.

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:50 AM) Cincinnati ownership is in a serious mess, they had all those players supposedly available and couldn't get anything done besides the Randa deal. Aurelia has been chomping at the bit to get traded and they probably could've extracted more for him at the deadline. The Sean Burroughs thing is very interesting, he's a bat control type of guy, I would love to get him for Borchard. If you look before this year. He had a good average, decent OBP and a good doubles rate. He hits righties a lot better than lefties. He is fast and hit leadoff for the the Padres a bit last year. Imagine if he could play SS.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:42 AM) He will definitely clear waivers. Any team claiming him would have to assume his entire contract. Maybe this trade can be revisited in a couple of weeks if Junior can stay healthy. It would make a lot of sense for both teams. The White Sox could really use his bat and his presence in the line-up. Well I think this attempted move pretty much sums up Thomas's future with this team, career ending or not.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:41 AM) And we kind of went blind over a couple tidbits in that first post.... End of the Timo era? Sean is in the minor leagues. More insurance I guess.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:40 AM) Welcome to trading deadline, part deuce. NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:39 AM) Weird thing is that the article says the Sox plan to get Sean Burroughs this week, too. Very interesting.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) I would have white, cutoff, and gray! He would of been an impat bat in our lineup. This would of changed our lineup big time. FOCKING REDS AND THEIR RIVER s***TY CHILI.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 09:31 AM) i think this thread screams, make your lineup: Podsednik Iguchi Dye Konerko Everett AJ Rowand Crede Uribe These guys get on Pods Gooch These two are good fastball hitters that should get fastball counts because of Gooch and Pods on base Arow Dye These guys wouldnt hurt us as much. If they are on they get runners to drive in, if they are not Arow and Dye have good ops to drive in the run ahead of them. Kong Everett Here is a solid last part of the lineup AJ Crede Uribe

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 06:50 AM) Two great plays at 3B. Heck I am convinced we never need to see Ozuna at 3B again after just that one game. The minute he layed out for that first play at 3rd pretty much we saw the end of the Pablo Ozuna at third movement by Ozzie. It was refreshing to see someone who can position correctly at third, make the plays, and not crap themselves when a ball is hit to them.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) Ew...:puke -OZ-ZIE awesome chant -Toronto has Garland's number this year -Blum is silk at 3rd -I love Jenks -Glad to see Adkins retaliate Blum looks a hell of a lot better than Ozuna at 3rd. That was like night and day. Good move KW> Jenks is a stud. Nice 2 innings. Good to see Ozzie stick up with his team and nice to see Atkins keep them honest after they plunk two players.

Heres to Blum having a good game tonight. That intro gives me chills everytime when it goes from Elk Trot and that Hes a pirate thing into Thunderstruck. ON YOUR FEET WHITESOX FANS....... MAKE THEM EAT s*** BLUM

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) LMAO! I said that to my sister once when we used to work together. Had this old dude laughing his ass off after he asked if I knew what it meant and said yup - my dad taught me that one. The fact that the local shops market it now for St. Patricks Day is pretty funny. Pog Mo Thoin shirts now. LOL I get a kick out of it because my family still uses Gaelic at home, my wife speaks a bit and I am going to teach it to my son when he starts to speak. Got to keep the old language from dying.

Can someone change my Status from "25 man roster" to "Pog mo thoin"

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Aug 2, 2005 -> 11:04 AM) Crede of course. I have a huge waiting list just to join Crede's Crew. Sorry if some of you guys can't join prior to the playoffs Cruddy Sucks Whats up with no Jenks. No love for the fatman?

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) Its too bad that we did nothing to make ourselves better than the Yanks and BoSox though The Whitesox failed on trade deadline day when they had a chance to catch the mighty Yanks and BoSox who are running away with this thing. What is that Harold, the Whitesox are in first. Does Torii Hunter know about this, his ankle is what. OMG I need to pour my tears in a triple cheese burger with all the toppings

QUOTE(S720 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-whitesox-takatsu&prov=ap&type=lgns Best of luck to you Shingo. I certainly will miss your trademark smile after your successful save. LOL

BTW what was up with the gay little jig that the fans do when a home run is hit in Baltimore. Everytime a ball was hit out, the fans seemed to do this farmers jig thing.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:33 PM) coulda had villone, just saying...... Why get Villone when you have the....

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 01:31 PM) Please give me Jenks, i dont want Hermy to get all sore and s***. Sounds good,

Marty Party chokes again against lefties. How can someone with such filthy stuff suck so bad against lefties.

Marty Party is doing his dance. Time to get a few guys out Marty.

Buerhle got thrown out. Nice

Too bad Johnny Cochran is dead, he could of helped Raffy with the Chewbacca defense. This is Chewbacca, Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that. That does not make sense! Why would a Wookiee - an eight foot tall Wookiee - want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! What does that have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! None of this makes sense. If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! RAFFY USED VIAGRA NOT STEROIDS. DAMNIT! The defense rests. LOL
