QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 10:51 AM) Wow people jump off of bandwagons quick. Can't stay healthy? Thome hasn't played less than 143 games since 1998. He hasn't hit less than 40 hrs since 2000, or less than 30 since 1995. Thome hasn't had an OPS under .900 since 1994. 2005 is the first year he has missed signficant time since 1998, and everybody is ready to throw him under the bus. Hell I wish Frank Thomas was that healthy... Sorry that we are not all ready to jump for a guy who has been on the DL twice this year. Is batting 207 with 7 homers in 59 games and is owed a lot of money. I am not sayi ng he isnt a great player. He is one of the best power hitters in the game. But this doesnt make sense to make this move.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 10:46 AM) Man I can only hope so. I want to see Lowell, Burnett, and possibly Griffey or Huff on the SS.... I cant wait to see the ESPN headlines where they have the smiling players with their new hats and unis and then the trade analysis.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 10:40 AM) Boy, this looks like a pitchers duel! Screw Lima Time! Also, Willie may be playing again tonight: Willie as trade bait???????

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 10:28 AM) I'm not sure if this exactly the right place for this thread, considering I have heard no source of information hearing the White Sox would be interested. I know that Thome is still on the DL, but with the emergence of top prospect Ryan Howard, does anyone think that the Phillies may just want to dump his salary? Considering that rumors are that Frank may be out for the season, I think Kenny should seriously consider acquiring Thome, a powerful left handed hitter is exactly what this team needs, and he could DH. Once again, I did not hear that the White Sox are interested in Thome, I am just curious to see if any of you would like to see Kenny go after him. CWSOX45 Insane amount of money still left on his contact. Plus he has been hurt for most of the year. I'll take a pass.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 10:20 AM) For the record, thanks for your post, but I'm gonna use whatever nickname I darn well please.... TIA Nice hit Ass licker

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:34 AM) I understand that no one in Ireland cares about Notre Dame. The reason my grandma thought it referred to her dad was because he was always picking a fight. So, that was more my point than Notre Dame is HUGE in Ireland, because well no one in Europe really cares at all about American Football (or American sports in general). I know what your point was Soxy. I was talking more about how people on the southside assume that Notre Dame is the official Irish football team. LOL There is a ton of people that think thats what that little mick logo is all about. There was a night in Cork and Kerrys last summer in Beverly where some fat dolt who had the fighting irish logo tatooed on his leg was telling me that he was irish(no sir you are american of irish decent, and we later found out his last name was Somonski ) and the fighting irish mascot and logo was named after one of his relatives, the fighting somonskis of ireland I guess, and that everyone in Ireland watches the Notre Dame games on Sunday. I am trying to turn my relatives onto baseball and of course the whitesox. But they are more interested in watching Celtic football.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:20 AM) ESPN Insider Fish hooked? Jul 26 - According to South Florida Sun-Sentinel, a Marlins scout was in Syracuse, N.Y., over the weekend, where top White Sox pitching prospect Brandon McCarthy tossed six strong innings for Triple-A Charlotte. McCarthy, 22, has been mentioned frequently as a key cog in a White Sox offer for A.J. Burnett. He is just 3-7 with a 5.17 ERA this year in the minors, but reports on the 6- foot-7 strikeout artist remain strong. The top hitters on the Charlotte roster include outfielders Brian Anderson, the White Sox's top prospect, and Joe Borchard, a former No. 1 overall draft pick. Remember KW Joe Borchard is no longer on the "untouchable list" . Trade him now and may god have mercy on all of our souls.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 09:16 AM) Actually, when my grandma was little she thought the Fighting Irish was her dad (he was from the old country). So, yeah, some people do believe it. And HELL YEAH! to the win! History of Notre Dame Mascot and team I was using the fighting irish to prove a point. I have to watch myself I remember how fanatic the Notre Dame fans are. LOL But what I think is funny is that people automatically assume that Notre Dame = Official Irish Football Team. I am from the old country. Trust me, no one knows a thing about Notre Dame in the fields of Ireland. They played in Dublin a few years back and people were pissed that the Gaelic Football Final was moved out one week for it.

Everyone should stay about 10 feet away from Limatime. Remember the difference between love and herpes is herpes is forever.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 08:54 AM) I think he is better defensively, I dont care what Griffey was, A-row picks up his teammates and has been gold glove caliber this year. And he is the man in the clubhouse and is a work-a-holic, which is the opposite of Griffey who is known to be lazy. No thanks I dont understand the Griffey for Arow move. Arow is batting close to 300. Why would you take one of our consistant bats out of the lineup. Griffey would be more of a DH for us anyways. The only one I could see him replacing is Everett. I would rather get Vizquel and spend the rest on pitching. Our guys should start working towards what Arow and Pods are doing. Getting closer to 300.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 11:41 PM) LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Too bad he didn't shank that dirtbag ump in Boston who was working second the night we got shut out. That was f***ing brutal. dat bish bet not show my kids up, dat bish don no who he fock wit, he fock wit me, he fock wit da wrong guy. I am da god dam manager of dis focking team.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:54 PM) Remember this aspect of any trade: Ozzie loves Ryan Sweeney. Of all the minor league players, I feel like Sweeney is the one guy Ozzie wouldn't want to give up. I agree on this. Brian Anderson is the closest to being major league ready. That makes him a big bargaining chip and the best from the OF class in the minors. I bet they dangle him. They have Dye, Arow and Pods locked up through next year. When Dye comes off the books is when Sweeney would be projected to be ready. Now as much as that is not popular belief with our guys. Sweeney is loved by Ozzie.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:52 PM) solid game white sox. the only problem was garcia, but we'll let it slide. yeah, baby, yeah. Garcia pitches to the competition. If they are what he perceives as not good he pitches like crap. If its a playoff type game he is rock solid. He could be a 20 game winner if he ever decided to show up for all the starts.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:31 PM) Ive learned to live with the Eat s*** because of Nuke and all his awesomeness.... but using the word Jew the way you did is wrong and unnacceptable and shouldnt ever be used. Im not even jewish and i find that completely wrong.. you lost a lot of respect. With all the political correctness going around I seriously need to file a class action lawsuit against Notre Dame and their obvious racist designation of the "Fighting Irish", after I win that I am going after that focker and his lucky charms. And what is with the use of GREEN for sarcasm. Must be a hidden slight against the Irish. LOL HE DIDNT MEAN IT THAT WAY, SOMETIMES WE NEED TO BACK AWAY FROM THE PC BANDWAGON.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:09 PM) I agree, but you don't base a whole year on a single game, and probably the worst game of the year for us, and it was Eric Castillias, or whatever his name is. That jagbag said last week that if we were in the AL East we would be in 4th place. Well I wasnt exactly impressed by his bad pitching and not so good situational hitting. Their stadium is an old dump that used to flood when it drizzled until the sodfather redid their field. They are a trendy group who believe they are entitled due to their one championship. I hope we beat their bandwagonning asses in October so I can write Eric Castratous a nice email. HEY ERIC, PWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:02 PM) Did anyone hear the asshole today on ESPN 1000? The guy that was replacing Dan Patrick, stated that he went to the Sox-Boston game on Saturday and was totally disappointed with our club and Cellular. He stated that we aren't a very good team at all, and is surprised that we are where we are at. He said our hitting sucked, as well as our bullpen, and that we only had starting pitching. He also bad mouthed Cellular and the fans, saying that it was a boring park, and the fans weren't entusiastic about the team. He said our seventh inning stretch was a takeoff from the Cubs and that there is no reason that anyone should go to a game there. If it was Eric Castillias then it makes sense. He is a no nothing blowhard who jerks it to the red sawx and their dump of a stadium. Sorry we dont blow our loads when a popup to the 2nd baseman happens like the bosawx fans. OH MY GAWD MILLLLLLAAAHHHH, HE HE JUST MISSED IT. And Gooch goes back 2 feet near the outfield grass to record the out.

LETS GIVE THEM A HELL YEAH. NICE WIN AGAINST THE MINOR LEAGUERS WE ARE RUNNING THE TABLE AGAINST THESE BASTAGES

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:25 PM) I completely agree with you. Some people think that he's the best pitcher ever. It's not like he had a 0.00 ERA in the minors. He'll have games where he looks amazing....and games where he struggles. And like you said, it's 100 times better to see him pitch than Shingo from a flat-out fun aspect. What bobby needs to do is to be able to throw that curve for a strike. If he does that consistantly its a different story. When he doesnt locate it and throws it in the dirt, he becomes a one pitch pitcher.

Bobby kept the ball around the plate. The royals did what you have to do with a guy like Jenks, eliminate the curve and work the count till you get a fastball, put a very short quick swing on it. The balls velocity will take care of itself. This is just part of growing pains. The more he gets out there, the better.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) Anyone forget how sweet Dye is? PS Jenks will get some work tonight, here comes some gas. And if Marte doesnt get in at all.......... Jenks is going to fock up the AAA Royals tonight.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:36 PM) The Sox and Marlins are still enough apart for there to be no negotation window between Burnett and the Sox. Levine reported the Sox would be willing to offer AJ 30 million. However, before they can set aside a window for his agent, the Sox and Marlins would have to get closer on a deal. The major holdup is the Marlins would like a veteran starter in return and may have to swing another deal (to get that veteran) prior to (or after) picking up Brandon/Marte. There has also been some talk of Lowell potentially coming. Basically put, there is definately some smoke to this, but nothing imminent. I figure that they will go after Redmond after they trade Burnett. Its a total marlins move.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 04:58 PM) robinventura23 reported that levine threw out numbers on a deal the sox were working on for burnett 3yr/30 mil. at abotu 5:15. i flipped on the radio since he posted it and ive heard nothing. seriously guys if you are just posting s*** to get a rise out of everyone on this board, id kick you in the nuts harder than that chick in southsideirish71s avatar Avatar has been updated. But for daa84's point of reference.
