If anyone can determine what this is about, if its any more than just some doofus caller with a theory, let us know. PED use is a fact for sure. Sad but true. However, I agree that you have to be careful and use common sense on these issues. You had better not start throwing someone's name out there and specualting and even claiming they were PED users. If there isn't proof don't talk about it. Unfortunantely these callers don't have a lot of sense sometimes

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 04:18 PM) We also have the Fox broadcast on Saturday, though that may be subject to a regional blackout. Thanks for letting me know about that one. However, I think you are right about the black out. Hopefully not

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 24, 2011 -> 03:14 PM) Zimmerman has only had two games this year where he has given up more than 3 earned runs. Those were both back in April. So he's due for a bad one. That's the right attitude. Let's win!

I don't know why any team wants to have a nickname of a bug, but let's squish em on Sunday. I will be behind the big screen waving at everyone. Humber is scheduled to hurl, I mean pitch.

I respect other peoples opinions and think that as long as they are respectful and add something to a conversation I have no problem with folks disgreeing with me. No one deserves to be ridiculed becasue they don't see things the way another person does. That type of conduct is a detriment to what I bel;ieve is the best Chisox site around. You will have no problem with me.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 03:31 PM) Yours. And I didn't slam you in the least. I said your post was devoid of logic, not that you are. Let's just move on. Agreed? I hope we both prefer just to talk Sox baseball. Maybe not always agree

Konerko

Dunn

Ramirez

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 01:17 AM) That post was completely devoid of logic, no way around it. Yours or mine? I would just appreciate it if you leave the personal slamming out of your opinionated posts. Thank you.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 02:27 AM) This is clearly going to be an issue tomorrow, Aj and peavy having words as peavy is pulled, then more in the dugout. What'd you see? The issue was in the paper and I expect that is all that it will be. Maybe it will help motivate folks on our side though. Jake and AJ are pros and I see this as just an in-house family type spat.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 03:17 AM) Konerko should finish his career here. That is correct

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 05:54 PM) This is straight out of the "video game trade strategy" book. Never heard of it. Don't play video games

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 08:03 PM) That's kind of an offensive statement. Konerko is god right now. Period. Konerko is an all-star and one of the hottest bats in either league. So you are right greg775. Period!

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:06 PM) It's astonishing how little you seem to know about both baseball and worth in general. Nobody WANTS those players. That's why you can't easily trade them if you decide you're out of it, but Konerko is a completely different case. You must be sloshing around in your milk(man). I am getting a bit tired of your comments about what me or other posters think or know about baseball. You have no idea what other teams want or don't want. So I guess getting these types of responses from you are a compliment.

Darn it all to heck. Jake is in town for the big dance. Let's win it gents!

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 06:38 PM) Two seperate notes... 1. Phil Rogers mentioned today in the Trib that before Beckham was in the cage with Walk, he first took a bunch of swings... left-handed. And apparently had a nice stroke, hitting line drives solidly. 2. There is being disappointed and expecting Walker to be fired, which I can see a good argument for... and then there's outright hating the guy and being an asshole. Its really sad to see the pettiness come out here on SoxTalk when people fall into the latter category. The guy does work with his hitters constantly, and does everything he can, so it seems to me he deserves the respect to stick with professional critique, not laughably stupid screaming and swearing at him. The answer must be to make Gordon a switch hitter or bat lefty? As far as the number 2 part of the post-I agree with you. Screaming for someones head after every out and trading away half the team today and the other half tomorrow is getting old. Plus I am getting tired of all the curse words, personal attacks, etc. The team is giving it their all and I am sure will continue. Let's see what happens in the second half since we are out only 4 1/2 games right now.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 02:13 AM) I miss first half 2006 Jim Thome! YES! I have been trying hard to stay positive with Dunn in there, but this is just pathetic

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 02:08 AM) they just said on wgn that bossard told them they expect to start the game aroung 9:45 , damn. 1st and 3rd for the cubs, we'll probably see a middle reliever and we cant score Just waiting until WGN resumes the game. Cubs broadcasters tonight nd I don't care what people say about Hawk. I would rather have him and Stone Pony then these guys. Twice we have had runners in scoring position and less than 2 outs and nothing to show for it

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 06:40 PM) Gordo out for back to back games now. Needs to get his head on straight at the plate. Probably back on Wed

We losat the game-time to move on. Worrying about what might have been or not have been is waste of time. I would think anyway that you don't intentioal;ly walk a guy like Castro that early in the game. Now maybe Babe Ruth but not Starlin Castro

I hesitated to respond to this post, but what the heck. My response is you don't trade Paul Konerko. If we think of trading people think of what other teams might need to help themselves compete the rest of this season: A thirdbaseman maybe = Mark Teahan who is fielding well but not playing eough to get back on track with the glove An outfielder maybe = Juan Pierre, who seems to be slumping and taking the wrath of Sox fans and is holding up Dayan Viciedo. A DH/IB/OF with a big contract like Adam Dunn, who just hasn't peformed at all. But Dunn has so much upside and later this season adn for sure in 2012 could be the big boper again. All we could hope for is some team takig hius salary and thinking he will benefit from a change of scenery Pitching: A starter maybe? Edwin Jackson possibly A relief pitcher? Maybe Tony Pena or Matt Thornton? Not advocating any trade here, but you don't trade away your best player and give up when you are just 5 1/2 back

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 05:45 PM) Nobody wanted to do it today, so I will take care of it. Lets get this party started Glad you stepped up to the plate. I will be behind the big screen TV watching WGN tonite

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:08 AM) Rongey just said that Zambrano had a rocky start, then got nasty. What f***ing game was he watching. The one where he beat the Sox 6-3

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:46 AM) I am a lifelong White Sox fan. This edition of the team blows. I am a life long Sox fan too and there have been worse, but I am always back for more
