QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 12:21 PM) Than why was it reported not 2 long ago that everyone on the pirates is up for trade basicly except Jack Wilson and I think Zach Duke. Explain to me why the Pirates would trade a guy who was an absolute stud for them last year, is young and cheap. To steal a line from qwerty if the Pirates trade Oliver this season I'll eat my shoe.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) Obviously BMac. The Buccos would want Brian Anderson to replace the OF's they trade away. I dont know exactly what.. but hte asking price for Oliver is way higher than Odalis. There is no asking price for Oliver because he's not being traded.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 12:16 PM) Don't matter, 2 prospects for Randa is pretty high. One of them has to be at least a mid level guy. If the prospects aren't 2 top guys then no, it's really not that high a price.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 12:10 PM) Padres have looked like crap lately. I don't see how getting Ponson will help them. Randa vs Nevin isn't exactly a big offensive upgrade. They're 3 games over and have a 3.5 game lead in their division, how sad is that?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) I'm 99% sure that Kenny won't move Marte. That's way too much shuffling, trading Marte + B-Mac for Burnett. Contreras + Sweeney for Burnett, OTOH... :thinking I'll say I'm 99 percent sure he won't move Damaso without having another trade lined up for a left handed reliever.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) I'm going to pat myself on the back and say I told ya'll. I said that the Padres were looking at him and probably would get him within the past week, but everyone overlooked my post about it. I thought everyone knew the Pads were the frontrunners for Randa.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 12:03 PM) Not when they have nobody else to pitch. Sure it's good if they make another move soon, but it looks bad as it is now. At this point they're much better off giving anyone a shot, give a youngin a shot to win the job. Ponson is absolutely horrendous, just cause he's older doesn't mean he's any better then a spect. The Orioles shedded a horrible contract and a horrible pitcher, this was a no brainer for them.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 12:06 PM) Looks like the chips are starting to fall. Wonder if KW is going to jump on board. Tony, I really believe we just won the Burnett sweepstakes. Kenny's probably just going to wait it out until Florida comes to his terms.

Old news.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 12:01 PM) Padres just traded for Randa. Gave up 2 minor leaguers. And the deals start flying.......

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 11:57 AM) forget the Arm Problem and go after a real pitcher. The irony of this post is that both Perez's have spent time on the dl this year. Oh yeah, Oliver isn't going anywhere, people got to get that out of their heads.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 11:53 AM) If you consider making their pitching even worse to be good. I know Ponson isn't good, but they have absolutely no pitching. They're now just trying to slug their way into the playoffs with Nevin. They're the Texas Rangers of the AL East now. That just doesn't work. Getting rid of Ponson helps your pitching not hurt it.

I think we just won the Burnett sweepstakes Now it's just playing the waiting game and forcing the Marlins to do this deal on Kenny's terms.

Twins.

After a while it's not lucky. For the most part he's done a pretty awesome job, last night's sending of Pauly was horrendous but hopefully he learns from that and won't make that mistake again.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 08:56 PM) Do we all feel better now? 11 games up, 31 over. Shaddap. No way dude. Hermy f***in sucks I'm just kidding in case someone doesn't realize. Great win tonight, got that sour taste out of my mind from last night.

AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 08:52 PM) That noise you hear is KW calling someone for a closer. Hopefully, this is just Hermanson getting the rust off. It is. Dustin hasn't pitched in a while.

8-4. No biggy just finish 'em off Hermy.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) Agreed. I'd much rather have our offense face the Anahiem pitchers than our offense face Oakland pitchers. Zito/Harden are about as good a one-two punch in a short series as you're going to get... Hopefully Minny doesn't win the WC, either, 'cause I'd hate to face Santana/Radke in a short series, too. And before I get jumped all over, Buehrle/Garcia are just fine. I think we match up well against anyone's pitching staff, for that matter. You know what's amazing to me is it seemed like Zito had lost it with last year and the beginning of this year, all the sudden it's like a switch just flipped and he's the old zito.

FWIW Hawk, it's not Hizdu.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) Yep -- 'cause we all know you're gonna get dominated in that Oakland friendly bet with witesoxfan... Oh you jerk. To be honest though, every night I check to see what Oakland did just cause I don't want them in the playoffs. That obviously has nothing to do with my bet with wite, just don't want the sox facing oakland.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 08:40 PM) Dude if I was a GM and Kenny wanted someone, I make sure Jenks was included! Yes but kenny isn't going to trade the guy.

Dustin getting warm.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 08:37 PM) How appropriate if he closes out the Angels in the playoffs? Getting a bit ahead of yourself, bud.
