QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 12:50 AM) Carrasco and Williams. Gracias sir.

Who do we still have left in the bullpen?

Following a 14 inning 0-0 game on your phone is just no fun. Internet seems better.

When Freddy was in Bristol he was in the 87-88 range with his heater.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 07:22 PM) I think his best move was the Peavy trade. He paid pennies to the dollar for an ace. Could definitely become his best, no doubt. The dumbass horse for Pods is the best imo at this moment, just because it accomplished so much.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 10:38 PM) Here's Holmberg's final line from the suspended game. Might have covered this before. Bristol Player IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA Holmberg, D 4.0 2 0 0 2 3 0 3.78 One of my buddies was scouting the Bristol game the other night, he said Holmberg was absolutely dominant.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 12:38 PM) Defense aside Beckham's bat is more valuable at SS. There is no arguing against this point its a fact. Well we're not trading him anytime soon and this isn't fantasy baseball, so right now he's more valuable at 3rd for the White Sox and that's all that matters.

I think it's also noteworthy to say that Gavin has his era under 4 for the first time since his opening start.

Gordon has plate discipline. Jeff had absolutely none. The end.

I think game 2 of the 2005 World Series wins that one for me.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:26 PM) I think Richard could be the best out of the bunch. I think he will be. As far as Huddy, I think this trade actually gives him a better chance of cracking the rotation next season.

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.
