QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 05:19 PM) Maybe I'm just not understanding the original post, but he said that Vizquel is gonna be traded to the White Sox? Or that he is just on the block and the Sox are interested? He said it very oddly, he said he's heard that Vizquel might be traded to the Sox. In a way he made it seem like it was going to happen, kind of weird.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 05:18 PM) Who's valido? Robert Valido. The best shortstop we have in the system.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 05:14 PM) Do not listen to this moron, he knows nothing. I remember back in late April or early May BBTN was talking about the Sox and all that he said was "Paul Konerko has been Dynamite" when he was hitting around .190. Yes but he has inside information unlike all of us. If he heard something about Vizquel then he either heard it from a baseball source or maybe Gammons or whatever...Point is he's got some sources we don't.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 05:11 PM) I just posted something on that. He also had some nice things to say about the Sox splitting against the BoSawk. I actually think he was pretty right on. It doesn't matter to the BoSox as much as it does to Chicago. The Red Sox have won it all, they have that winning attitude and have been through the postseason, for the White Sox it matters more. They split the series but would of won the series had they played any defense in Buehrle's start. At the very least that tells you, that you can play with the defending champs. It's funny cause we just played like total s*** in two games and still split the series. I'll take it. We play decently in those two games we win atleast 3 of 4, maybe all 4.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 05:10 PM) He specifically said on Baseball Tonight that I heard that Omar Vizquel may be coming over to swing that bat and play some defense at short. Also said Billy Wagner on the block and than Ravech mentioned Burnett. Anyway this is the first Vizquel refernce I've heard in a long time. Let me just say, offensively this is the one move that makes TOTAL sense. I'll give up Valido and than some, I don't care. Vizquel makes this team so much better. We all saw Tadahito today in sitautions where he was allowed to swing away and he did well. Move him down in the lineup and he'll produce more runs and Omar is a better 2 hole hitter anyway. This move flat out makes sense. I don't care what it costs as long as Chris Young and Bmac aren't a part of the deal. Get Vizquel, Get Wagner and I couldn't be happier. Stealing my thunder. I already posted this in the trade rumors thread.

Our favorite baseball analyst Harold Reynolds said he heard the Sox are looking at Vizquel.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:57 PM) Gio has allot of movement on his pitches, compared to McCarthys which are flat. Plus Gio has 4-5 pitches to McCarthys 2 and suspect change up. I believe that was his point. Maybe, but he said Brandon doesn't attack the sense which is false. Brandon's numbers were unreal in A ball so to think Gio is the better prospect compared to Brandon at this point is kind of ridiculous. I like Gio a lot but he has a ton to prove. Brandon's going to be fine, I will agree he needs to use that change more, it's actually a good pitch he just doesn't have a ton of confidence in it at this point.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:54 PM) 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. Jose's signed through next year and Burnett would be our 4th starter if he came here, maybe 5th.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:50 PM) I just wanted to say that it was nice to see Ross back in the lineup today and getting a clutch double... We could of done without that brain cramp on the bases but other then that good job It wasn't a brain cramp, it was done on purpose to draw a throw away from homeplate and the speed demon Paul Konerko.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:44 PM) 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. 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.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) Happy about the win... Great job by Jose... But what on earth was wrong with Marte... I mean that deal is looking better and better, thats if the Marlins even still want it... Iguchi had a great game though... I was so encouraged by that game he had in Cleveland now it seems he's back to last years and this years Marte. To bad, I have no clue what has happened to the guy cause his stuff is still there.

The dreaded one game offensive slump ended today. Great job Jose, offense, Neal, Cliff, Hermy!!!!!!!

YESSSSSSSSSS

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) There was a reason marte started the inning. Why is that? Cause you dont like hermy?

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) Situational update please? 1st and 2nd, 2 out. 2 run sox lead.

Use that splitty now, dustin.

Oh boy......

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) Chill out... that ball wasn't hit very hard at all. No it wasn't, I was actually afraid that was going to fall right down the line.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 04:00 PM) :headshake Jim you still are living in doubt.. Its sad to see actually. With all your years watchign the Sox and still you have no idea how a winning team is suppose to look like, Granted we have the best record in the majors..But compared up to the top teams.. we really are still missing pieces.. its sad that your to blind to see the truth.. Alright mr gm. How are you getting Giles?? How are you getting Furcal?? You can't just magically get these players. By the way Jim has more baseball knowledge in his left pinky then you'll ever have in your life.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) So find a way Headster (thats for Rowand44)

Talk about a nice inning against the 2-3-4 hitters of the bosox.

Cmon Neal, ace Damon like you did yesterday.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) The Cottster What is with you and adding "ter" to everyone's name today? :headshake

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 24, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) I went to game 3 in LA.....good times. Was that supposed to be funny?

Very solid outing Jose!!!!!
