QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 01:29 PM) Other than Prior, Zambrano, Lee, Ramirez, they don't have much to offer. Pssh, I was told last year they had unreal talent and they were going to win the series, what happened?

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 01:23 PM) Funny thing is, Franco was old when he was with us in '94. To think that he's still a productive player at the age of 104 is impressive. As far as the Cubs go, through the first month or so I thought they were just going through the motions of a long season. It's really starting to look like they aren't a very good team. They might be sellers soon. They wont be sellers, they'll still try to be buyers.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) Kevin Walker. Who?? Never heard of a major league pitcher with that name.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 01:20 PM) oh come on...hes having a good year, but the guy is like 90 ( ok 35) and hasnt had a year where his ERA was under 4 since 1997....thats 8 years ago! sure, hes a solid lefty outa the pen, but come on "very good"? i dunno about that Last year as a reliever his era was also under 3. He's a left handed reliever and he is a very good pitcher coming out of the bullpen.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:56 PM) If it ended today, the playoffs would be Soxs v Soxs Anaheim v Twins Angels are 3 1/2 games up on Boston for 2nd best record and the Twins are 1 game up on Cleveland for the WC (others include Bal 2 1/2 back, and Yanks 3, Texas 3.5, Tor 4 GB) Is it to early for me to say if the Twins don't win the division that they have the wildcard locked up??

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 01:02 PM) just outa curiosity, whats up with your fetish for ron villone? Prolly the fact he's very good.

What are you smoking buddy. Garcia>Clement. Garland>>>Wells. Garcia>>Washburn. Also, Schilling is still very much so a question mark.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:58 PM) Oh my.. they just had another one on.. Something about eating the other team for lunch.. They added that one once Bobby got called up.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) Say no to Eddie! He has lost velocity and is playing with a partially torn rotator cuff. He is a trainwreck waiting to happen. He keeps getting the job done though. The thing with Eddie is he never relied on velocity to get hitters out so while it's obviously still a concern, his drop in velocity isn't a career ender like it was for Koch.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) Id never deal Gio, kids gonna be great. He's in high a ball. He's got a long way to go with some injury and durability questions hanging over his head. He's got a chance to be special but that's far from happening at this point and Burnett already is special.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:44 PM) Jenks has pitched 1 inning in the minor leagues, and Baj 8, if the Sox have a chance to acquire a proven veteran like Eddie the Eagle to put him in that role, they'll do it. Actually Jenks has pitched more then 1 inning in the minor leagues and Baj has pitched more then 8

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) The thing is, he's probably going to get more than Freddy, since he'll be the only real good starter available in FA if he decides to go that route. Some team like Detroit could offer him $12 million a season for 4 to 5 years. If he gets on the open market he's going to make a s***load....no doubt. Think about it though, if you can trade for Burnett and lock him up, not only is this years team set but next years is basically as well.

If AJ gets traded here expect him to be resigned quickly. Think Freddy or even quicker.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) Prior gave up 6 runs and 5 in the 5th inning. Julio Franco hit a 3 run homer with 2 out. I love Julio Franco, that guy never ceases to amaze me.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:32 PM) I think Burrnet will be on the block, and with Eddies ??? situation with his shoulder, I don't think its going to take alot to get him. Add to the fact I really have it in my head that this franchise wants to deal Marte, Eddie will take his role on. I think something just like this could go down. I'm not disagreeing with you, just wondering why you have it etched in your mind that Damaso will be traded?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) I honestly think this senerio could REALLY, REALLY happen. Sox land A.J Burrnet for Marte,Bmac, and OF prospect(don't think Anderson or Sweeny because of Bmac in the deal.) Sox get Guardado(take Marte's LHP role.) If that happened Tony you wouldn't be able to wipe a smile off my face for a long f'n time.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) Ok, lets assume...Marte, Tracey or Gio, and Sweeney for Burnett. Who here pulls the trigger on that deal? I'm basing this off what Rosenthal said the Marlins were interested in (in terms of pieces) as well as the fact that the Sox would refuse to give up Bmac. If thats the case I'd pull the trigger on this deal, however I'd hope the Sox would try to reup with AJ. All that said, even if they didn't I'd still be really tempted to make this trade, especially if they then pulled the trigger on a deal for Wagner or another solid left handed reliever. Marte is good, but Burnett is very good and would give the Sox a filthy rotation. I'd do it assuming either another left hander is added to the pen or kenny finally just says f*** it, kevin walker sucks I don't care if he throws with his left hand or his ass he's just bad.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:26 PM) wait theres only 24 hrs left till the deadline

QUOTE(go-sox05 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 12:26 PM) Burnett had 14 strikeouts yesterday. Has 111 on the year. Yeah he's alright. That performance by Burnett yesterday is overrated. I'm a fan of AJ, no doubt but not because of what he did yesterday.

I'd love Burnett but would hate to lose Damaso unless of course Guardado was acquired, ok now I'm just going nuts.

I'd prefer a White Sox vs. Insert NL team here world series. If the sox got in to the series I could care less who they face.

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 11:45 AM) A sweep puts the Sox at 60 wins for 1/2 way. I'm not saying, I'm just saying. Go SOX Oakland's obviously been hot as hell but if we're going to to do it, we have the right 3 guys going.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 11:58 AM) College is overrated Can you call my mommy and daddy and tell them that.

You guys have to do this right when I have to go to college don't you. Thanks a lot :rolly

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 7, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) If you had to trade a current core guy on the squad for a chance at Rocket[hypothetically speaking] or for another guy that you think could extremely help this team, who would it be??? Here's the choices: Pods Arow Dye Crede Uribe Iguchi Konerko Pierzynski Thomas Anyone in our pitching staff minus Jenks and Walker. No one.
