I hope so Jas, I really do. I'm just not sold on Odalis Perez...you probably see this guy all the time...is he worth the money he'd get?

You scoff... but let's see who's laughing when Dustin Hermanson is announced as the fifth starter. Then let's see who dramaticly improved our rotation. Please, Please force me to eat some crow on this one Kenny. Patience is a virtue I suppose.

Fellas, don't be so quick in saying we have just dramaticly improved our pitching staff. Until two hours ago you had no idea Vizcaino existed. Be honest.

Piss poor unless Kenny signs our final starting pitcher. We have made a commitment to Ozzie Ball. We're in it for the long haul now.

For all of those advocating a trade for Hudson...who do you plan on trading to aquire him? Do you think Beane will just give him up out of the goodness of his heart, because I can't envision a scenario that this takes place.

Funny ain't it Jas, That's the exact amount ($6M) ESPN reports we gained in this trade.

It ain't shocking smartass. But it is news. In fact, its good news. At least Kenny's head is in the right place.

Bruce Levine NEW REPORT: As heard on ESPN Radio 1000 Sportscenter update, Kenny will use the $6 M to target a starting pitcher.

Carlos is gone. Let's attempt to move on. Where does Kenny go from here? Is he going to use this money right way and sign another starter, is he going to sign an offensive middile infielder, or is he going to sit on it? In my opinion, stay away from Odalis Perez.

The chances are very good. Question is...who is it going to be? Are we going to have an Odalis Perez or a Matt Clement or...I dunno, Pedro. Res assured...we will sign a pitcher. Let's just pray...for Kenny's sake at Soxfest...that it is someone reputable.

Does this qualify as having exploded the dynamic of this ballclub? Have we officialy turned the page and dedicated ourselves to Ozzie Ball?

well...here is the bottom line. THE END-OF-THE-DAY RESULTS Pros -Sox aquire Podsednik -Sox aquire Vizcaino -Sox aquire Ginter -SOX FREE UP "$X" IN PAYROLL Cons -Brewers aquire Carlos Lee Just to help me sleep a little better...can someone provide the final figure for how much money we freed up in payroll? I'd really really appreciate it.

One positive aspect of this deal... We Broke the Most Users Online Record!!! Now we play the waiting game. That fifth starter is on the way. We just need to hold on.

Remember how Bruce Levine gave us that two hour window... Well I'm giving Kenny a one more aqusition chance... If he doesn't snag a big name for that final spot in the rotation, I'm officially off his band-wagon. move over anthrax. the wagon is about to spill over.

I'm sick. I'm just sick right now. You better be getting our fifth starter Kenny. If you're not... :fyou

Here is our starting left fielder. Whoopie. So long Caballo. Thanks for the memories. Go win your MVP. Before I go ballistic, I'm going to wait to hear these other names. I've taken a deep breath and relaxed, but if our fifth starter isn't answered within the next couple of days I'm going to fry Williams.

:dips*** Do I feel like a chump or what. Here I have been defending Williams this entire off-season and then he makes this deal. f*** you Williams. You better have your next aquisiton lined up and it better not be Odalis Perez. Go get my fifth starter. Now.

Wecome back to the 2005 White Sox Mr. Konerko. So long starting first baseman Ross Gload.

Everyone that is interested...put on ESPN Radio 1000. Levine is coming on after the commercial with MJH to report the deal in its entirety.

I'll wait for my official word thanks. Omar, Wright

Uribe will always be a streaky player. With a swing that ugly, you have to be happy with whatever you get from him. As Hawk said, he's going to go on tears, but he's also going to slump with the worst of them. A bit early to make Aaron Rowand our #3 hitter isn't it? Taking the mound today...Jose Contreras. Batting 1-3 today...Scott Podsednik, Juan Uribe, Aaron Rowand. :puke Ugh'. Fingers crossed for that fifth starter.

You and me both. Kenny needs to look that over once or twice before trading Carlos f***ing Lee for Scott I Steal Bases Podsednik. Unless this nails us our fifth starter in some way shape or form (allows for the signing of a FA for example), we'd be getting hosed.

LF-Podsednik CF-Rowand 1B-Konerko DH-Thomas/Everett RF-Dye SS-Uribe 3B-Crede C-Davis 2B-Harris Is this what we are looking at? Yikes. I didn't realize the lineup would look like this.
