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.

2nd game in a row tonight for me. Lets pretend to be a major league starter, Clayton!

He IS starting tonight. SWEETNESS. This is my 2nd game of the season. First one was Beckham's debut and now this, pretty awesome(though the first game ended up sucking).

Q playing tonight? Cause that'd be sweet. And I give up on this whole Brian Anderson situation, so no comment there.

Which would explain the Tony Pena acquisition. Not sure if I buy that we're trying to trade Dotel/Liney but it wouldn't shock me either.

Red Sox. I honestly don't hate any of our division rivals, I want them to lose more than any other teams but I don't hate them. The Red Sox on the other hand, I despise more than any other franchise in sports.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 19, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) Best pitchers by ERA+ from 2001 to present w/ at least 1530 IP over that time (180 IP per + 90 IP for this year): (keep in mind this is an incredibly subjective timespan) 1.) 152 - Johan Santana 2.) 144 - Roy Halladay 3.) 137 - Roy Oswalt 4.) 132 - Randy Johnson 5.) 127 - Tim Hudson (everybody forgets about Tim Hudson) 6.) 123 - Mark Buehrle 7.) 121 - CC Sabathia 8.) 117 - Derek Lowe 9.) 114 - Mike Mussina 9.) 114 - Andy Pettitte Good stuff. I appreciate it.

I was going to say Santana with out looking at any stats, so glad to see that the stats back that up. Awesome to see Mark in the top 10 there as well. If any of you stat guys have some time I'd be interested to see where Buehrle ranks since he came into the league overall.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 18, 2009 -> 09:52 PM) Rick Morrissey, there is something wrong with your head Alexei and JOHN Danks for Halladay? Forget that noise Ya....no. Morrissey is insane.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 15, 2009 -> 12:16 AM) Whoever gets Halladay will need to be more talented than this Sox roster if they expect him to win the World Series this year for them. Completely disagree. QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 15, 2009 -> 12:45 AM) You can't trade either of Danks or Gavin because it defeats the purpose of getting Roy. If that breaks the deal, then so be it. Completely agree.
