QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 15, 2013 -> 07:39 PM) Haven't seen much from Bostic GOOD LORD!!!...what was that?!? hahahaaa... He damn near decapitated that guy....

Geez us...I think I have a little man crush on Kyle Long already! Dude is a man out there already! Love the fact both rooks are starting on the right side and have looked pretty damn good! Long is just a beast already....

QUOTE (KG#1 @ Aug 14, 2013 -> 01:59 PM) I hate how much I love Miguel Cabrera. That dude is amazing at hitting a baseball. I really do want to hate him...really. But damn he's good...

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 12, 2013 -> 03:16 PM) Following the game on gameday, what happened? Darvish was throwing a perfect game when he walked somebody. AJ was pissed about the 2-2 called and turned around squawking after the walk. "He must of used a certain word that quite frankly is a no-no......."

speaking of the Rangers....anybody just see AJ get tossed? lol...

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 12, 2013 -> 01:49 PM) Bowden has an ESPN Inside article on him. Among the highlights: And he calls the Marlins the favorites to sign him based on people he has talked to. In order: Marlins, Red Sox, Rangers, Mariners, A's, Nationals and Rockies. Take it for what it's worth. Like has been mentioned with Cespedes, Athletics came out of nowhere to sign him. Oh horses***! He's just pulling speculation out of his ass. Boston because of deep pockets I take it...didn't realize Massachusetts was such a desirable landing spot for Cubans!?!? And of course people will throw Miami out here due to it's proximity to Cuba...other than that...why?

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 06:40 PM) 1. Alejandro De Aza (L) LF 2. Gordon Beckham ® 2B 3. Alexei Ramirez ® SS 4. Adam Dunn (L) 1B 5. Dayan Viciedo ® DH 6. Conor Gillaspie (L) 3B 7. Jordan Danks (L) RF 8. Josh Phegley ® C 9. Blake Tekotte (L) CF good lord...that is one horrible looking lineup. Oh well...get used to it for a for years...

Sardinas or bust IMO. Lexi ain't no spring chicken and easilty (well not easily) be dealt in the off season. I still have a feeling the Cardinals may rear their ugly head on him during this waiver season. Not sure if Semien or Anderson are the real deal or not...

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 8, 2013 -> 01:28 PM) Mark Reynolds DFAd by the Indians. He's probably the best 3b FA next offseason. this mark reynolds?...

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 4, 2013 -> 03:54 PM) Where's the "none of the above" option? I'll 3rd that motion....hopefully none of them.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 3, 2013 -> 12:03 AM) You draft lovers have it made. You can still enjoy the rest of this pathetic season. A few of us are in misery on a nightly basis over the Sox results since we do not care about the draft. Not sure why you're taking it so personally right now....the season has been lost for quite some time. Just look for some progression from the young players and pitchers and enjoy the fact we'll secure some top talent next year. I would absolutely love the top pick next year...kind of made a difference with the Bulls didn't it?

Suck on that Towers...

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Aug 3, 2013 -> 04:44 PM) Good riddance. Thanks for the Buehrle catch. I am sure we will sign you prior to the 2015 season anyways so until then! I don't think "good riddance" is necessary...it's just a matter of age, numbers, etc... Best of luck to DWheezy...and he provided one of the best moments in Sox history! It was just time to make room for younger players who might have a future bettering the team...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 10:04 AM) So the Sox are gonna be the Cubs in 2014? Great, another baseball-less summer. I'm not so sure I'd agree with this either. Sometimes the addition by subtraction does wonders for a team...it's just the right combination. This team has needed an overhaul of it's stagnant parts for years...and now we'll finally start to get it. If a team like Oakland can win...seriously. I have no clue how they do it... Thanks for posting that recap btw Y2!...

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 06:10 PM) Keppinger, Ramirez, and Danks almost 100% will get claimed. Dunn is likely to get claimed, Rios is unlikely to get claimed. Konerko also probably doesn't get claimed. I agree with this except maybe with Konerko. Whether he gets put on waivers or not is if he says he'll approve going somewhere. If not I'm kind of thinking they won't just out of respect. I could be way off on this....

I voted no. I'd still like to give him a little time. He's still on the comeback trail and actually has been throwing pretty well. If he keeps improving he'll be another valuable chip hopefully...

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 04:42 PM) Wait what? Jackie Bradley? Archie Bradley? As in top 20 prospects in baseball? I would be ecstatic if that was the return. Archie...

Gammons talking about Cards SS right now...not mentioning Lexi. Was talking about Aybar... btw...did they put Gammons in a closet for his office lol...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 01:18 PM) It would be much more sad if Konerko was going to be traded and he wasn't playing before a home town crowd that day. He's one man who deserves a legitimate long standing O in his last game. Yes...he does. But if he was dealt to the Rangers he could get one in late August when they come to Chicago. But he's earned his way he wants to go...

QUOTE (kwill @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 01:09 PM) Here is my problem with a deal. It reminds me when we traded Sergio Santos for Nestor Molina. People were split 50/50 on weather Molina could actually become a starter. I thought having the best asset at the trading deadline would bring us back a close to sure thing. Obviously, prospects are never a sure thing, but something we could say "Hey, if he is not a super star, he will at least be somebody we can plug in everyday". I read in Dan Schoenfield's assestment of the deal is scouts love him but saber metrics people hate him. Could we at least have one player in our system that saber metrics doesn't hate. We have all these guys with loads of talent who don't walk and strikeout a ton. That is the exact problem with out current roster. Nobody can every get on base. But, I would give the White Sox some benefit if they actually have shown they could draft in the past. The problem is that they had one of the worst farm systems in baseball for quite sometime. I have no faith in the Sox scouting ability. If they were at least decent at picking out potential prospects, I would be able to hang my hate on something. Finally, I just wonder what the Sox would have gotten if Good Ol' JR would have some for thought and ate some cash. I am not saying a ton. A few million dollars. Hell, Don't spend it this offseason. But, at least let this team be able to build. I will root for Garcia. Who knows, he could turn into Miguel Cabrera. Right now, from the outside looking in, it just seems we got another Viciedo. I saw all the pics and everything...but MLB just put side by side video of Garcia and Miggy...damn. Identical stance, swing, etc...and Reynolds went on to slobber on him and talk about him learning from the best in Miggy and taking that with him.

surprised we haven't heard the Rays in on anybody bandied about...

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 01:14 AM) Really hope Hahn has something up his sleeve for tomorrow me too. I'm not feeling the big Garcia wood that most seem to have on here...maybe I'll have morning Garcia wood but in all likelihood won't. and for the 3rd time tonight...f*** you kevin towers!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 12:04 AM) Any chance the Yankees want Rios? If they take him, again they'll probably take on his whole contract like Boston did re. Peavy. I hope it's Jerry-mandated that the Sox don't pay more than 2-3 million of Rios' deal for the team dumb enough to take him. TRADE RIOS!!! FREE GARCIA FOR RIGHT FIELD NOW!! why would the Yankees even want Rios? Vernon Wells, Suzuki, Gardner, Soriano...not that those guys are gang busters...but just not seeing it.

I Appreciation threads....well not really.
