QUOTE (TCQ @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 09:51 PM) I am sick and tired of everyone saying o and uribe would be a great backup at 3b if we need him. He hasnt played there since 2004 where he played third for the first time in his career. Screw having him at third, someone find the insurance firm or used car dealship the Milkman is running and ask him if he wants to wear black again. I liked Herbert "The Milkman" Perry, but I'd have to say at this stage of their life Uribe is a beter 3Bman

MLB.Com is listing Konerko reinstated and Ozuna DFA

Transaction is also listed on MLB.Com as Konerko reinstated and Ozuna DFA

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 06:16 PM) I guess this could also be a ploy by Ken Williams to basically gain additional leverage on whichever team he is potentially talking to regarding a Uribe deal (basically indicating that we don't have to trade him and are happy to keep him on the bench...heck, we just DFA'd Ozuna to show exactly that). Again, odds are that isn't the case, but its a possibility. I also believe the Sox are comfortable with there options down in the minors in Bourgois, Richar, and Getz. All legit possibilities, but Ozuna might take the assignment and stay with the Sox system too?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 05:36 PM) Well with the AS break coming up, I wonder if it'd be better just to DL Jenks to make sure his back gets rest. I'd rather lose him for a week now rather than a month down the road. I would think so too

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 06:12 PM) That would be an absolutely horrid deal for the Dodgers. Oh man, I can't even fathom how bad of a move that would be. Heck, if they are considering Kemp for Wilson, lets find a way to sweeten the pot for the Dodgers. I would send them over a lot more than just Uribe to get Kemp. Getting Kemp is indeed an intiguing possibility, but it creates more issues for us as far as our position players doesn't it?

Pablo is the one to go in IMO, but Uribe is the obvious if only because of a $4.5M contract and most likely gone after this season anyway. But, Uribe is a far better glove man and can be the IF super sub, which is the role he played when he first came to the Sox. However, maybe today there won't be any moves except for putting people on the DL? Jenks could be on the 15 day DL, which means Konerko is back in his open spot and nothing is done until after the All-Star break.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 02:05 AM) It just isn't going to happen. The Sox right now are 5 deep, which most teams, playoff teams, can't say. Because of that, the Sox aren't going to outbid anyone for a top tier starter. As Williams has said, don't expect a move. If anything, it will be a Blum type move. One guy I would look at is Casey Blake. I believe Fathom brought up his name before, and would be a real nice fit a 3B. I'm really starting to lose trust in Crede and his back, and his struggles against LHP has been brutal. Blake is on a one year deal, and doesn't have a ton of value to the Tribe, especially with Marte at the hot corner, so it's something that could be looked at. Tony, If you question the stability of Crede don't you think Konerko and Thome should be worries also? I really believe that Crede is just in a slump and as the weather is now heating up for the second half he will come out of it. I would hope Thome and Konerko are in the same boat. Although I do agree I don't see any major moves on the horizon.

The Twinkies are agood baseball organization and they milk everyhting they can out of their players. Of course they play in a domed stadium that should be blown up and will be sometime, but right now they are built to win there and do. The sox just have to play their own game and play hard. We can win this thing

That was funny. I wonder how many e-mails Ozzie gets after each article that prints his e-mail address? I'll wait awhile before I try it.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 7, 2008 -> 06:25 AM) Crede in and Dye having to try and be the last man in is a joke. Varitek in and A.J. out is an even bigger joke. The all star game with it's flawed rosters deciding World Series home field is the biggest joke. Can't stand this system, and seeing how awful it is makes it more and more annoying every year. I agree that AJ Perz should be the starting catcher. Dye should be there too, but Joe is deserving as is Carlos Quentin. We should be seeing danks and or Floyd there too instead of all these Angel pitchers and too many relief pitchers. But in order to get so mnay deserving people in the roster should be expanded to 50 plus

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 07:38 PM) The 6 starters plus 2 pitchers from Boston and NY werent enough Amazing isn't it? You would think there are no other teams in the AL sometime except for Bos and NY

QUOTE (feistyboy @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 06:49 PM) I love Joe but there is no way in hell he should make it while Danks and Floyd do not. A true crime. You can't make that comparison when Crede is a position player and Danks/Floyd, et al, are pitchers starting every fifth game. In fact I would argue you can't compare their selections or non-selections at all. It's like the apples and oranges thing. You have to look at pitchers against what other pitchers in the league have done. Now do I think Danks and Floyd deserve consideration YES! But, as usual we see the dislike some here have for our players and instead of saying congrats to Crede or any Sox player that makes it they get cut down as not being worthy. It just boggles my mind sometimes. Think of the selection(s) this way-baseball people think he or they deserved it.

Watched the win on WGN. It's always good when we win (www)

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 07:19 PM) ?? I can use three different e-mail addresses in case they have a way of limiting your votes

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 07:28 PM) JD deserves to be there big time. If Crede's somehow there, so should Jermaine. Any White Sox player who makes the All-Star team deserves to be there. I am sure that's what you meant though.

Danks is the one to matchHarden. I will be watching on WGN

Not to be critical of a win, but how many solo homers has Linebrink given up in the 9th? Maybe he should satrt that first batter off with something else than whatever he throws cause it ain't fooling them. Great effort by Floyd to show he is the staff ace.

I am hoping Floyd steps up today and shows why he (and Danks tomorow) appear to be our staff aces

QUOTE (ChiSox35 @ Jul 5, 2008 -> 10:36 PM) Her seat probably has vd now. Now you tell me

From the game pics I think the dark glasses tell it all. A deag giveway

With Floyd and Danks pitching Sat and Sun I like our chances. Sundays game is on WGN so I'll be there

QUOTE (wilmot825 @ Jul 5, 2008 -> 12:11 AM) Im watching the game, and Porn star Jesse Jane is sitting in the stands. When they pan to right-handed hitters, she is sitting behind the kid in the black sox jersey with the green sticker on it. And when Buehrle struck out Ellis they zoomed in on her and her squeeze but didnt say who she was. May I borrow from your collection?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 5, 2008 -> 02:29 AM) I just think when you're in contention, it's ridiculous to even consider showcasing a lesser player that everyone knows won't net you anything useful. I know what you are saying, but don't you think this is just the way Ozzie has always handled subs? He likes to use subs to rest the regulars and Uribe has the ability to play good defense at at least SS and 2B and maybe even better than Ozuna at 3B as a sub. If defense is key to any of this I still think Ozuna should be the one on the block other than for financial reasons. Uribe makes $4.5M and Ozuna gets paid less for sure. Question is if we trade Uribe how much of his salary do we eat?
