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!

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 02:44 PM) Among AL rookies with 125+ PA this season Gordon Ranks: 2nd in RBI w/ 23 (#1 Reimold: 26) I'd bet a lot of money that he finishes first in rbi's this season.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 09:06 AM) 4th behind the the big 3. Ya you're right. I have no clue how I forgot Thome, I'm an idiot.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 08:51 AM) Has anyone noted Beckham is over .300 now? Not including Buehrle he already has the 3rd best ops on the team as well. To be this good, this quick is just amazing. He's a stud, no doubt.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 09:44 PM) I'm sick to death of the topic that is Brian Anderson and the 327835065320643207344 excuses on why he's sucked from the moment he's put on a White Sox uniform. Does it really matter that Wise is on the team instead of him? Yeah, defense. I know, I know. But this division will not be won or lost because we don't have Brian to potentially make a good defensive play every now and then. The dude is awful with the bat. Easily negating any impact he could possibly make with the glove as a late-inning defensive replacement. No excuses for him anymore. The point is he's better than Wise, that's all. He's better offensively, he's better defensively, Wise is faster but it's not like Anderson is Konerko on the bases. As for this division not being won but Anderson's superior glove in the late inning, most likely that's the case, but I'm sure glad we didn't have to find out what would have happened if Anderson didn't make that diving catch in the 9th in the one game playoff last season.

All the above.
