QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) So now your backing off your story? Read the damn thread, dude. He told the truth, the guy on the radio f***ed up.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:43 PM) you could do better than that. He's telling the truth.

It's bulls*** guys. This guy's an idiot: "The Padres deal Chad Tracey to the White Sox for a minor leaguer."

Now arizona is still playing, would this be officially announced after teh game if true?

To be fair to Josh, it's on wsi as well, so others have heard it.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) Lawton is an upgrade for a 3rd place team, not a first place team. SB Lawton's a really solid player.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:15 PM) no but he will help the bullpen with Reitsma being the closer. The braves bullpen wasn't that great so they needed to get help. Farnsworth was pitching fantastic for Detroit, he's gonna be an absolute stud for Atlanta.

The Braves did acquire Farnsworth, great move by them.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:02 PM) Braves pull trigger for relief pitching, getting Farnsworth from the Cubs for Roman Colon and minor leaguer Zach Miner. ?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 01:51 PM) No they don't. Cardinals finally have pitching to at least matchup with Houston. Houston's offense(as hot as it is) doesn't stand a chance against the Cards. Cards would whoop our ass in the World Series. It would be very similar to Red Sox vs. Cards last year. LOL, Ok, if you say so.

Villone's a solid pick up for them.

QUOTE(Ishmookie @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 01:53 PM) they just said a trade involving the marlins happened I'm guessing Ron Villone.

Considering we're the best team in baseball and nobody else has improved themselves at all, it's definitely not a terrible thing.

QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) I'd rather call up Munoz or Diaz to come out of the pen than Adkins Diaz, that's the guy it should be if they want a long reliever. He pitched very well out of the bullpen last year and can eat up some innings.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 01:32 PM) really, I really liked Jenks, unless Hermy is hurt. Jenks isn't going anywhere, I'll guarantee you that. I have no clue why Adkins would get called up though.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 01:31 PM) One of the Charlotte guys said Jon Adkins has been called up, so there needs to be roster moves before tomorrows game at the latest. Um....?

No offense but I don't trust bp at all.

Manny's a gangster.

The trade deadline special is starting in about 4 minutes on espn.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:37 PM) Soriano or Todd Walker? Tough decision? NOT! Don't the teach common sense at Stevenson? Obviously Soriano is a better player then Walker but the Cubs have been playing well since they moved Hairston and Walker to the top of the order because of the fact they now have decent obp guys ahead of dlee. If they trade for Soriano who hits 2nd for them??

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) So the Twins deal Mays and Loshe for Rich Hill and another major leaguer. Cubs deal Todd Walker, Rich Hill and another MLer (goes to Twins) for Alf Rangers deal Alfonso Soriano for Loshe, Mays, and Todd Walker Sounds like a nice deal for the Rangers, they get two decent starters and a quality 2nd baseman for Alf. Cubs give up a lot but get a good player...don't see why the heck the Twins do that. Hill is a pretty good prospect, but they better have a way to get some other pitchers. Ya, that doesn't make much sense to me, unless the Twins are packing it in with Hunter's injury which I highly doubt is the case.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:31 PM) Rich Hill and another ML player from Cubs to Twins. Todd Walker to Texas along with Mays and Lohse, I think I heard. That move would be counter productive for the cubs. Moving Todd Walker to the top of the order is one of the reasons the Cubs have been successful as of late.

BREAKING NEWS: The name of this forum has officially been changed.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:14 PM) Thats the whole point... We still have Uribe on the bench.... It would make Huff and Everett the DH/ backup COF's with Huff splitting time at 1B... Blum playing just about everywhere, Uribe Spelling the IF, Ozuna spelling the OF/MIF... and best part is no more Timo, Gload, Willie..... In the words of Hawk.... YES!!!! Sorry but this is just the deal I want to see happen... I'd rather have Juan starting as shortstop then Lugo, Julio's a butcher in the field.
