QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 08:04 AM) Who needs Wild kingdom, just come to Soxtalk. Ahh, I'm looking forward to this when I come back, I think it's bedtime for me now though

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:25 AM) from what I read, Burnett definetly wants to be a free agent next year. He said no matter what he will go in the market. THis is typically not what KW goes after. he likes to get guys with another year, or guys who give him an indication of sign ability. In addition Burnett is very injury prone. Long term contract on that is risky. I don't see it. I think the Whitesox will be mentioned as buyers in every trade rumor. It's not like we haven't rented players before. I personally think you'd see AJ resigned quickly if he came over here, however if Kenny thinks Burnett is the missing piece and knows he can't resign him, he'll still pull the trugger for a shot to win that championship.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:27 AM) and bacon? And um......ok you win.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:25 AM) I totally agree with that. The timing is all wrong. The timing sucks. To be honest I'd love to see this done right, I think it'd be a ball to watch.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:16 AM) Babe Ruth But do we have enough hookers?? and beer?

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:15 AM) I remember, want another one...Indians will take three of four and this board will be clamoring for a trade. Hasn't this board been clamoring for a trade since the team lost it's first game of the season??? Seriously though, I think they'll take atleast 3 of 4 but I always think they're going to win so just ignore me.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:13 AM) YAS.. his head is up his ass because he thinks he's all that! He THINKS he's the best out there.. he THINKS he belongs there.. he THINKS he will not get sent down. He doesn't think about getting sent down... Wille only thinks about Willie. Plain and simple. Is this the best day of your life steff?? No more willie

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:08 AM) Rowand I actaully was not posting this to you, but to your buddy JimH. Anyway, don't take me so seriously. I still mean what I say, but there is alot of read between the lines in what I post. And I am not done thinking the twins will be there. This will not be a cakewalk. quick, I was just giving you a hard time. Trust me, I've said all year that I'm not counting the Twins out, I think they're a great team and that they'll get into the playoffs one way or another. BUT, you did tell me in early May that the Twins would be in first place within a week, so for that you recieve one of these

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 07:03 AM) Sox fans should be encouraged about a possible addition(s). There's too much smoke right now to have nothing going on. I don't know when anything is going to happen but I feel pretty confident in saying something will happen.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 06:52 AM) Look at who he faced, plus he wasn't pitching on his normal schedule. I'm not worried. As long as his sinker is working, he'll be tough to hit. Plus the fact he came in for relief.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 06:19 AM) Well if this is true and there's no reason to believe it isn't true, KW is going into aggresive mode again. It's just a matter of time. Again, Burnett is a guy with a different look ... unlike any of the other 5 currently in the rotation. Burnett is a true power pitcher. KW likes all his pitchers to have different looks, from that perspective it makes sense he's pursuing this guy. I said this about Schimdt, if Kenny really wants Burnett he'll get him but that's jmo.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 05:17 AM) If the Marlins were in town looking at sox guys, bullpen is where they need the most help. Guys I could see them interested in would be Cotts, Vizcaino and Jenks. Seeing how they only have one LHP in the pen, cotts would have to look very appealing to them [young, cheap and good]. Cotts stays. If they want viz they can have him. The interesting name you mentioned is Jenks. As much as I love Jenks arm, for a guy like Burnett he'd be expendable. Beck, that really is a great point with Jenks, I could honestly see Bobby being the center piece of a deal for Burnett. Obviously they'd want more then Bobby but that could definitely be a start.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 06:06 AM) Well Row, he is nuts like that, what do you expect???? LOL Jim. I just disagree with him on the whole chemistry discussion so I just thought I'd bring that up. I respect his views just completely disagree.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 12:48 AM) Alright, I just read through this thread, for the first time. What an awesome thread. Anyways -- I beat solitaire for the first time yesterday. My mom was having surgery at Rush, and my dad, my grandparents and I all basically sat in the 'waiting room' for about five hours. I was so happy when I beat it. And, my mom is doing Ok, she should be home from the hospital on Friday (fingers crossed). My dad and I both were real nervous the whole time, just 'cause he's had some bad experiences there (not saying other people haven't), and I'm overall just a nervous person. So, it was a big weight off our shoulders when we heard the news that the surgery went well. That's good to hear, I hope she has a quick recovery.

QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 10:40 PM) Mark Redman Pirates The Pirates have basically decided they won't be able to afford Redman when he becomes a free agent after this year, so they'll try to move him before July 31. Several teams are looking for pitching help and while Redman may not be their first choice, he might be the best starter of those available. Potential Suitors: Marlins, Braves, Red Sox, Yankees, White Sox No thanks on Redman.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 09:51 PM) How the hell does Smoltz get tagged with the loss? he only gave up one run? If anything, Oswalt should be given the loss... someone please explain. If it's a real game he gets the loss as well. He was the losing pitcher not Oswalt.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) That surprises me. You'd keep AJ over Buehrle, Hermanson, Thomas, Garland, etc.? That would have to be the case if he is your 'most valuable' player. Widger has an idential OPS to AJ with our staff having a lower ERA with Widge behind the plate and that dude was playing softball last year. I'm not saying Widge is better but come on. Pitchers aren't mvp's in my mind so I wasn't counting them. IMO AJ and Scotty have been our two most valuable position players and AJ has been this team's mvp but like I said you can make a case for a lot of these guys.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) I voted my ass off, and no. Yeah, that.

Chris Berman leading the allstar coverage on SC. Why the hell does this guy get the gig for every big/important/allstar game, pisses me off. Karl Ravech>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Berman Berman :puke

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 09:33 PM) MVP?! Let's not go overboard. Not the league's mvp but he's been our's imo as well. You can make a case for several guys and that's one reason we are where we are but AJ's my pick at this point.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 09:35 PM) could have sworn it was 2 It was.

I can't complain about Miggy. I love to watch that guy play.

Carlos Lee still as clutch as they come.
