QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ Jun 24, 2008 -> 08:42 PM) Jerry Manuel has become a bad ass. Ya, seriously, what the hell happened to him?

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jun 25, 2008 -> 01:51 PM) http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/...tory?id=3459696 I would trade #2 and Blount for the #5, Mike Miller, and Mike Conley. Then trade Marion and the #5 pick to the Clippers for Brand and the #7 pick. Trade Haslem to the Magic for the #22 and filler. Draft Brook Lopez at #7, draft best available talent at #22. PG. Conley, Banks SG. Wade, Cook SF. Miller, Wright PF. Brand, #22 pick C. Lopez, Mourning Yes please. That just made my head hurt. That's a lot of moving around. But if you guys can some how grab Conley and B. Lopez(who I believe is the 3rd best player in this draft) then obviously getting Brand and Miller is pretty freaking good as well, that's a pretty nice haul. Very confusing but very good.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 24, 2008 -> 01:39 PM) I still think they should have left CP3 or Williams at home to bring another big guy, like Tyson Chandler. What is the object of having 3 PGs on one team? BTW, I like the addition of Kidd- he was on the 2000 team so it brings some more experience. I think this team will still win the gold. Williams is about a gajillion times better than Kidd at this point, not sure why you'd want Jason over Deron.

Well I'll go on record saying that Rose will have much more of an impact than Beasley and I think Beasley is going to be a pretty damn good player. Now if it's true that Miami is thinking about taking Mayo over Beasley, well that's just retarded.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 24, 2008 -> 12:23 PM) It's not his fault he gets taken out after 6 innings every freakin time. Most of the time it has been his fault, cause he's had extremely high pitch counts. I'm not knocking him, he's been fantastic this season but he definitely hasn't been economic with his pitches.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 24, 2008 -> 01:40 AM) And Gavin Floyd is actually not doing that good. Look at his BB/K and BB/IP. His ERA really should be mid to upper 3's. I do agree with Danks though. That's just ridiculous. Yes, his bb/k and bb/ip numbers need some work but when you have a 3.19 era and a 1.10 whip, you're definitely doing pretty well. QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 24, 2008 -> 05:35 AM) I honestly think John Danks is our most deserving player at the moment. It's not his fault the offense betrays him. I love Danks and he's been great but it really would be nice if he could pitch into the 7th inning some time. That's the one thing that's holding him back a bit..

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 07:15 PM) Also, I have a question... why does Mark Buehrle get a free pass when indeed he has been our worst starter? I'm not saying he should be traded or anything and he is still the clubs no. 2, but he has, well lets put it, the least. Cause he's been good for a long ass time. He got off to a rough start but most people figured he'd turn it around like he is right now.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 05:50 PM) Speaking of Brenly...anybody catch Greenstein's column the other day grading the broadcast teams? He said about DJ: I shot him an email that said: You lost me right there. Listening to DJ is like having a little parrot next to Hawk the whole game...all he does is repeat Hawk. They should name this duo..."Bird Brains...Hawk and his Parrot". I got a big "Well Alrighty then..." back. Pssh. DJ's great.

Obviously I havent seen Alexei play that much short but by watching him play 2nd(good range, great arm), it appears that he could definitely handle the position. I'm thinking that's where he'll be, maybe as early as next season.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 03:53 PM) People need to let Row go. Embrace Brian as the younger, sexier, lower batting average but better fielding Rowand. You shut your mouth. Lies and slander.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 03:00 PM) After this week the Sox could be down for the count.... Or knowing this team they'll go on a 5 or 6 game winning streak where we get a decent cushion again.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Jun 23, 2008 -> 03:13 PM) I know he was good last season, but if we're counting this season, he's been an average to below average pitcher 4 out of the last 5 years. How in the world is he get labeled as our ace? Even with his recent struggles he has a 4.24 era and a better than 3-1 k to bb ratio. In the American League, that's well above average.

Does this surprise anyone? Mariotti is a coward, period.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 10:09 PM) We know, we know. But honestly, nobody besides you and Tony support that BS. To now be now 17-23 on the road after we were just 17-14 on the road is fantastic, right? To now be only 1.5 games up after just being 6.5 games up is fine, right? To not be able to open a local newspaper, flip on a local sports news station, or even ESPN itself is good, right? To hear it from a bunch of yuppy-f***s is fine, right? Sweet. It's OK guys. We're fine. As long as we're in first, it's cool. Even if we lose 10 in a row with an 11 game lead is fine, too, right? Please, they're far from the only 2 who believe that. This team certainly has issues but if you're biggest problem is that ESPN is going to bash our team then you need to stop following sports. Who gives a s*** what the morons from ESPN or the local radio stations think?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 09:21 AM) The Love Guru is getting raped and trashed. Supporting my thought that Mike Meyers is not that funny. I love the Austin Powers trilogy but god does the Love Guru look like complete garbage.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 11:08 PM) Javy Grossman. We never know who we're gonna get out there with him....same with the offense though I guess. Javy and JC are struggling right now. I'm not very confident in Contreras but I'll bet that Javy finishes with an era under 4 this year. He's had 4 below average starts in a row now but none of them were horrible, it's not like he got absolutely crushed. He'll be fine

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 11:20 PM) We flat out got our asses kicked. Period. Exactly. The Cubs were just better this weekend. Hopefully our guys can forget about this series and we can get it going again in LA. Minny is on a roll so we got to start winning some games again.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 09:49 PM) To quote Major League: "who gives a s***, it's gone" Agreed.

That's just an odd start from Broadway there.

QUOTE (chisoxt @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 09:28 PM) This team will be dead and buried by the All Star Break PS. had it not been for a fly ball that Gardy Sizemore lost in the sun In KC, they might have blown the lead in 05. No. That 05 team was just better than everyone, so no again.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2008 -> 05:41 PM) Worst case scenario is if Tigers are 5 back after tonight. Everyone keeps saying that if the Sox get swept tonight, this will be the series everyone talks about. However, it was the series last week at Detroit which could have turned the Tigers season around. Until they go into another slump cause their pitching sucks it.

Me: "This guy isn't very good, as you can tell by the .199 career batting average." Wise homers Roommate: "Ya, he sucks."

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 07:04 PM) It wasn't called, though, was it? Wasn't there an appeal? It wasn't called, it definitely looked like a strike to me though. That being said, there is absolutely no way he swung.
