QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:46 PM) Gio is an A ball. And what the hell does "who actually will attack the zone" mean. Brandon's always had good control and always attacks the zone, that makes no freakin sense. Brandon does have good control, but his balls hang a lot. He doesn't like throwing his changeup in the zone for whatever reason. I see him topping out as a #3 pitcher which is what Burnett would be with. Except Burnett has much better stuff. Don't forget, we also got Buehrle, Garland and Garcia on this team. That leaves only two positions to fill if Contreras doesn't get resigned next year. I personally think Jose will be resigned to a smaller contract next year and Burnett would be the perfect guy to fill out the rotation. We're trying to win now. I could give a s*** less about BMac.

Griffey could be had for a guy as small as Timo depending on how much the White Sox are willing to pick up. And whoever said Griffey is not as good as Rowand defensively is on something. He's still better than Rowand and is better than 90% of CF in the league defensively still. Offensively, Griffey would rake at the Cell. I would love to get him, but I'm starting to think that KW and Ozzie are overrating this "chemistry" thing. I know it's a factor, but replacing a guy like PK with Griffey would only help chemistry IMO.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) Burnett looked good against a pathetic Giants lineup. Marte looked pretty bad again today. Nonetheless, my mind hasn't changed. If the Burnett deal is intended to flip him for Wagner, okay. That fixes the bullpen. And Contreras looked pretty good against a Boston team that is supposed to own him, while El Duque looked even better against them yesterday. I'm fine now with El ContraDuque as our 4th starter in the postseason, especially if the pen replaces Marte with Wagner. I would not be happy giving up Brandon McCarthy, however. Oakland is riding young pitchers like that right into the Wild Card. Since when is Brandon McCarthy as good as Danny Haren and Rich Harden? Hell, when did Oakland develop Danny Haren? He was groomed by STL. I don't give a damn about BMac. We have Gio in the system who actually will attack the zone. Burnett has electric stuff and arguably the best stuff in the whole major leagues(Clement at least thinks so). Marte And BMac for Burnett. I'd do that deal anyday of the week. I just don't think it's happening though.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:59 PM) For some reason I'm not too big into the road uni's. To me, there's nothing better than the Black with the pin stripe pants. Those are my second favorite uni's. First is the sleeveless ones though, by far.

Like I said earlier. Contreras was going to come out and do the damn thing. He did it. f*** Boston, f*** the Red Sox, f*** their fans. This is Chicago ho's, we don't play that "Let's Go Red Sox" s*** in our house.

I don't think this deal is going to go through. I'll give it til the end of the game, but I don't see it happening.

Hawk jinxes Jose, Ortiz proceeds to hit a HR.

Use the chat yo.

Why don't the White Sox ever win the World Series??? *prays*

The chat is available people.

A really dumb thread. And yes, I do realize I'm contributing to it, but seriously. PK has been a problem for some time. I've not only said this before today's game, I've said it for a while. For a "big bat" he's f***ing terrible.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 10:20 PM) The scary thing is that I really think that KW believes this. I know. *proceeds to cry*

SOme crazy numbers for the month of July: HITTING has cooled off too…. Team OPS is down to .717 in July ... JULY OPS …. WHO’S HOT: Crede .848 WHO’S NOT: Thomas .798, Konerko .775, Everett .687, Rownd .660, Iguchi .645 Pierzynski .545, Uribe .524 This is before the series started with the BoSox.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 10:10 PM) There are 2 players in the AL that would be on my team before anybody else: Aaron Rowand Darrin Erstad Are you high? No Manny Ramirez? No Ortiz? No Buehrle? No Vlad?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) Sorry, the name stays the same. Yours just doesn't get the point across well enough, plus it's not grammatically correct. And sorry again, but I've been sick of PK for longer. That is my distinction. I know it's not gramatically correct. I spelled pussy the way Ozzie would. "Paulie is a Pussy Posse". There, is that better? Anyway, he's still a pussy. Put me in your club, cas I hate PK.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 10:05 PM) If Paulie had any nuts he would have ran into the catcher like Hunter did to our guy last year. He must not have wanted to score that bad. I was thinking the same thing. PK is a pretty big guy. Why didn't he just run over Mirabelli?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:50 PM) It's even worse when they predict trading a player to a team with a star player at that position already. For example, PK is getting traded to the Reds. First off, this proposal has PK going to the Padres. Secondly, Sean Casey is far from a star player in Cincy. We don't like him much anymore.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:57 PM) No offense, but please make this stop. Can we just group together all personal opinions into one thread? You're right, no offense. That's why I'm picking Ken Griffey Jr.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) Yes Yep, I agree with you there as well.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 09:56 PM) *Ahem*JOINMYCLUB*Ahem* Can you change the name to the "Paulie's is a Poosy Posee"?? I've been sick of PK for the longest. Get his ass of this team quick.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 08:32 PM) If KW resigns Konerko for any amount of money I would be upset. He is a rally killer and is a one dimensional pull monkey. Lyle Overbay would be something to consider. The sad thing is we have our big three to shut down the other teams. All they need is anyone who can spot a fastball on the outside corner. Heck, all they need is someone who could throw outside period.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 08:27 PM) San Diego will not want Konerko. They won't be able to trade Nevin. Apparently, Bruce Boche(sp?) is having dinner with Nevin to convince him to leave. They're going to bench him if he doesn't leave in favor of Xavier Nady I think it was. SD will take Konerko because they will look at his HR numbers. Trust me, they'd take PK for Lawrence.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 08:23 PM) This is why Uribe is batting in the .230's. Even Bruuce Levine is talking about our bad pitch selection and we dont get on base. Maybe this will finally sink in with everyone. Our offense isnt very good. AJ Burnett would be nice and all. But we need Bats. Vizquell should be somone to target. Our pitching will not be the reason we falter. It will be our bats, just like in 2000. Yep. Perfect post.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 08:23 PM) I'd trade Anderson, Sweeney and Owens before I'd trade Chris Young. Fine, Anderson, Sweeney or Owens instead of Young.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 08:22 PM) Frank needs to come back healthy for one thing. Carl's just not the man to stabilize the offense as it's clear Pauly can't handle that. If any move is made to upgrade the offense, it better be for Uribe. He flat out sucks... Good thing is Uribe is a 9 hitter. Konerko is depended on as our #4 hitter. That's a problem.
