Some people think we overpaid? Really? We managed to grab an ace with out giving up Huddy, Flowers, Danks or Viciedo. This wasn't even close to an overpay, this was a genius move by Kenny. Absolute genius.

Injury or not, this is amazingness. Peavy, Buehrle, Danks, Floyd. Wow, f***in nasty, I'm f***in thrilled. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY. SOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY.

So far this trading season, it seems like teams are vastly overpaying or vastly underpaying, no middle ground at all.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 01:34 PM) I don't get all the talk of getting ANOTHER reliever. Its just not something the team needs, at all. I mean if you can upgrade there, fine, but the Sox pen, despite some recent struggles, is still one of the best in baseball. I would have said it was the best in baseball a few months ago. Now, it absolutely scares the crap out of me. Absolutely everyone is struggling, I would love to add another reliever for the right price(not D2).

QUOTE (3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 01:29 PM) I don't think Ricciardi is that screwed. If he doesn't get what he wants he can always make a move in the offseason Halladay's value goes down a ton if he's not traded in the next hour and a half. Riccardi really does screw himself if he doesn't get something done.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 12:05 PM) Wow, this is the quietest couple hours leading up to the deadline that I can ever remember. Hopefully the calm before the storm.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 07:21 AM) Hudson may be a better prospect because his pitches have more movement. Which is encouraging. Besides the injuries, that was the one problem with BMac, absolutely no movement on his fastball. Just awesome to look at these box scores right now. Huddy is just insane and Viciedo is starting to do what we were all expecting. The future of this team is just so f***in bright, it's a thing of beauty.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 12:20 PM) Also, my buddy and I have decided that we're going to try and come up with some new mixed drink and call it "The 56." Any suggestions? Buehrle Bombs are delicious.

All I know is that he's got a .855 ops in the Major Leagues in his first full season as a professional. He's ridiculous.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 12:18 PM) Carbondale will jump the shark for you about 3 months before graduation. I cant explain it now, it wont make any sense, but it happens. Still a great place to go back to, just not a place to stay Or you become a Townie, and you dont want that Oh, I already know, trust me. Once my friends leave, it'll suck, no doubt. For now though, it's home.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 10:11 AM) I'm celebrating by being perfect today. Well since I'm always perfect, I'll just celebrate by wearing my Buehrle jersey shirt. Also, my buddy and I have decided that we're going to try and come up with some new mixed drink and call it "The 56." Any suggestions?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 08:09 AM) I got the f*** out. Dad moved me to Carbondale, shook my hand, said good luck, and the rest is (hazy) history lol sounds about right. I consider Carbondale home now. The only time I ever go back to moms/dads is for White Sox/Bulls/Hawks games. If those teams didn't play in Chicago I'd never be back there.

Anything to tarnish the Red Sox in any sort of way makes me a real happy person.

Wow. I can't believe this one. Alderson for Freddy f***in Sanchez?!?!? Really? Wow.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 06:52 PM) Then why did we trade Brandon Allen? Brandon Allen wont be a middle of the order hitter.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 03:55 PM) This is for sure, for once we will have the money and prospects to add some big-time pieces to the club. Despite what happens this year, we should be in hunt for a division title for at least the next few years. Best overall shape this organization has been in, in forever.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 09:19 PM) I'd prefer to avoid going after Lee. Lee is a bit overrated and I'd rather avoid sending Cleveland a bunch of prospects that could haunt us in the long run. As for Haren, I'd love to get him, but don't see it happening. How is Cliff Lee overrated?

Definitely Rowand44.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 01:56 PM) Would you guys do Richard/Poreda/Hudson/Flowers/Shelby (or Fields or Anderson) for Haren? I would. Would the Dbacks? In a heartbeat. And I really doubt it. I'd give up anyone in the minors for Haren. Like I've said about Halladay, he instantly makes us a World Series contender. No doubt.

Is it 4-1? Gameday is making no sense right now.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 08:21 PM) You suck. 'Tis the truth. QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 08:22 PM) Thanks I just lost a weeks salary I never did give good advice.

Carlos Torres could not have impressed me more to this point. And I'm not talking about his stuff but he seems like he's got it together mentally on the mound, which most of the guys we call up midseason(pitchers wise) never, ever seemed to have. And I'm calling a TCQ homer this inning. Book it.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 03:23 PM) I don't know why Nike/LeBron made such a big deal out of this in the 1st place. So what if he got dunked on? LeBron would absolutely destroy this Crawford kid if they were playing for real. If they had just let the videos come out, I don't think people would be making as big of a deal over it as now. Now everyone is going to know about it and want to see this video, even if it is from a camera phone. Exactly. Everyone gets dunked on, it's no big deal. The way Lebron handled it though, is. It once again makes him look like a poor sport.

At least Torres should some composure and was able to get the next 3 outs. Lets get him some runs!

TCQ looks awesome so far tonight. Great news!
