Ya know...Juan makin' some money for himself from SOMEBODY next year. This year may look like quite a deal compared to what some may offer him.

YOU. FRIGGIN. STUD. JUAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMN...it'd be nice to see him get red-hot. He looks like he's gettin' there.

I LOVE JUAN!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 07:26 PM) BTW, Crede is on the bench. The comcast dude said before the game he was going to get a second opinion.... probably just misinterpreted...

ATTABOY GRIFF!!!!!!!!

Lexi made that look easy...

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 06:55 PM) His numbers in the minors this season are horrible! With that said...he'll have a career game tonight and Hawk will promote him for the Cy next year.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 05:54 PM) Giangrecco said Crede has left the team. What's he mean..."left"....hung up the cleats, cleaned out his locker? wow...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 06:01 PM) All that really matters is Linebrink needs to be good again and in a hurry, Danks must get back to where he was, Buerhle needs to step it up, Vazquez has to stay where he's been the past few starts, Floyd must continue to battle and they better get something out of Richard. And the pen needs to get their heads on right too. This team is obviously a little weaker without CQ...but like some have said, Paulie's starting to swing the bat and if JD gets on one of his hot streaks...he can carry this team. We'll need some consistant production from everybody though. Sometimes adversity brings out the best in people...instead of standing around watching and trying to match CQ's output...they MIGHT just regain a little form. Talent-wise...this team is still VERY formidable...but I think they need to change the approach at the plate and do more corner to corner instead of going for the Downs every at bat.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 05:55 PM) Who do you want there? We need to replace a bat like CQ's with one like Griffey can hopefully provide us with. He's talking about tonight....and having the vastly D-challenged Griffey in LF I believe.

What I found ironic...look at this pic on the Trib site...I wonder when it was taken. Look at his wrist.

What a depressing Friday. This really does suck...but the best we can do is hope for the best that the other guys can pick it up. Hopefully Griffey will add SOMETHING to the lineup. Paulie's been swinging the bat much better. We need JD NOW...he just seems to either feast or famine at the plate lately. We've got the horses to carry us...they just gotta believe and get hot and stay hot.

Wow...this thread has almost turned comical. Thank you CQMVP for putting the "unintentional comedy meter" at 10! Other things that approach a 10 on that meter: Steven Segal running. And the seriousness my daughters give America's Next Top Model.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 06:58 PM) Find the strike zone Downs. Granted I thought 2 balls called to Mauer were strikes. I thought so too. But the dreaded walks (2 of them) bit them in the ass. Plus...they really didn't have their CF positioned very well against Mauer IMO.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 06:10 PM) Ah yes, trading Garland for a couple of prospects is such a stretch. From what I learned in this thread, we could've traded Garland for a bag of dog s*** (just speculation on my part) and it would have been worth it Gavin got his crack at the rotation Nobody said that. What we've said is we got a starting SS (and a former GG winner). Good things happened IMO from that trade...OC has done a nice job...Alexei got a chance to shine, Gavin/Danks in the rotation and Juan has filled in very well at 3rd for an injured Joe (and who knows what would have happened at 3rd). We could be in a much worse position.

NEEDED THAT ONE! Great job by Bobby!

I can't believe people who are actually b****ing about the OC trade don't realize that if that trade's not made...Gavin's not in the rotation to start the year. Hmmmmm....what's Gavin's record? OC's been a pretty solid addition. Is he an ideal leadoff guy...not really...but he's raised his avg pretty steadily throughout the year and has provided solid D...what more do you want. So you'd prefer Garland over Gavin right now. Seems like at the least a wash and we got a starting SS out of it...so in my opinion...that argument is a pretty moot point with Gavin's arrival. Swish...like the move a lot. He'll be big for this team down the road as well...and a nice contract also. Linebrink...be nice to have him healthy again. Lexi...more than anybody could have hoped for. CQ...possible MVP...again...more than anybody could have hoped for. If anything...maybe question getting OC for Garland instead of Figgins...but the contracts determined that one. But if that deal's made...I doubt Kenny would have gotten Swish. All the moves were relevent IMO...and I have no problem whatsoever with them...actually somewhat pleased. If anything...maybe complain about the deals that weren't made...like Paulie possibly going to the Halos for a decent package surrounding Figgins...or Santana. But like I said...I think things have all worked out ok. So say we got Kendrick...that pretty much means we wouldn't have known what we had in Lexi.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 06:52 PM) I understand saving CQ for later, but BA, Getz or even Toby Hall should have been at the plate there Griffey...

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 06:45 PM) JUAN GO.AWAY.CREDE. This team obviously is better with Juan in the lineup right now. I don't wish bad stuff on Joe or anything...but he's just not right anymore. Now...if BA was in the lineup too...I'll be happy.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...... good lord.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 06:34 PM) So would that killer instinct help the Sox hit the best pitcher in baseball or would it keep Clayton Richard from sucking ass? So from his record aside this year...would you really say Cliff Lee is the best pitcher in baseball? please....

Just got home....can't say I'm surprised to what I turned on. OC is right...no killer instinct.

We needed that win in the worst way. Great job Gavin!!!
