QUOTE(chiguy79 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 09:49 PM) I am guessing in Ames, Iowa you don't share an office with a bunch of obnoxious cubs fans who give you s*** every day about the Cubs being in/near first and the Sox sharing the cellar with the Royals. Personally I agree that they don't have legs in the playoffs but I would have said the same thing about the Cards last year..if Lilly/Marquis turn into Weaver/Suppan for two weeks in October stranger things can happen...and no one else in the NL seems close to dominating. All I wish is if we could have a box score where all the pitchers in the games ERAs aren't over 5.40...it is amazing to think it has come to this. Well I'm from the North Suburbs and I couldn't care less about the Cubs either. If they lose...great, if they win...oh well.

Damaso's career would have continued to slide if he stayed in Chicago, he's no loss.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 01:04 PM) Yeah, cuz there are no players on this team playing well. Like Buehrle, Vazquez, Konerko, Thome...nope...not a one. And we still have 20 bajillion holes for next season. Dye needs to go, I'm sorry but I don't want just two draft picks that will end up being busts because we can't draft. We need to find the best package for Jermaine and let him go. No, we might not get superstar players in return but I guarantee you we could at least get two players back who can fill some of these empty spots for next season. Garland needs to be traded as well because he CAN bring back some heavy talent but Kenny is too damn stubborn to trade him. In conclusion, we're not going to make any deal and we're going to hear Kenny's bullcrap that it takes two to tango or what not and we're going to be f***ed next season.

Torres Roundtree has decomitted from SIU for now. He says SIU is still the front runner but I'd bet money that he'll end up somewhere else now. God damn it.

QUOTE(SoxFan77 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 12:36 PM) Correct, He will do nothing and sell it as if we can win.. I called it back in May that this team was finished and needed to be rebuilt.. I don't think KW is the man who can do it. You're awesome.

Ya, this sucks.

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 05:35 AM) From today's Sun-Times: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/wh...trade31.article Sign me up. I'm sorry but I just don't trust this organization enough for compensation picks to be the only thing we get for Jermaine. If you receive Wily Mo and Delcarmen at least you're filling two holes with one deal for next season. I still think given some consistant time that Wily Mo is going to be a pretty damn good hitter. If Kenny feels this is the best he can do, then he needs to pull the trigger and I'll be satisfied with this deal.

Barring injuries, I really can't see the Bears not getting back to the superbowl.

I think it's time to open a Schuerholz love forum for Pratt.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 30, 2007 -> 10:04 PM) why must you ruin my night? Because I'm not feeling that well so I thought I could ruin someone else's night as well. Seriously though, I'd love for that deal that you mentioned to happen, but it's not going to, it's just not.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 30, 2007 -> 10:01 PM) I'm a big Jon fan and would want him to stay, but if we could get Kershaw, Hu, and Betemit for him, I would be so freaking happy... Not happening.

I must side with SSI71 on this one.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 30, 2007 -> 09:04 PM) If it weren't the night before the trading deadline, I probably would have agreed. What sense would it make -- if an organization was concerned with Kershaw -- to have him projected as the starter, go through the entire routine to prepare, pitch one inning, then remove him without a high pitch count or being hit around? And, then soon after, suggest injuries weren't related to the removal? I guess we'll find out fairly soon. The Dodgers just can't sit on this all night. I agree, it really doesn't make any sense and all signs point to a trade but for whatever reason, I don't think he's going anywhere.

I still doubt Kershaw gets dealt. Just a hunch I guess.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 30, 2007 -> 08:48 PM) perhaps they havent updated it yet... how many people here would get a hard if we traded Garland but recieved Kershaw, Hu, and Betemit in return? Not happening. I'd be thrilled, not happening.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 30, 2007 -> 08:29 PM) Could Dye get Kershaw (i wouldn't think so, plus he's a bit lower level of a prospect) but he is obviously uper talented and would definitely be the blue chipper Williams has been looking for. Would Kershaw and maybe Betemeit be doable (s*** I wouldn't care as long as we got Kershaw, but again, I don't see how that would help the Sox next year and Kenny probably wants a move that helps them next year, unless the deal also involves other guys that help the Sox out...ie a bigger deal involving Garland and Dye). The Dodgers wouldn't be stupid enough to give up Kershaw for Dotel would they? I just really can't see them trading Kershaw, that's why I'm thinking it has to be an injury.

I'll bet he's injured, but ya, quite interesting.

QUOTE(SoxFan77 @ Jul 30, 2007 -> 03:19 PM) KW= one year wonder Ryan= Constant Winner.. I have a ton of respect for Terry Ryan but I'll take KW's "one year wonder" year over Terry Ryan's consistant winning.

QUOTE(michelangelosmonkey @ Jul 30, 2007 -> 04:24 PM) Why in the world would we trade Jenks for prospects? I'm kinda feeling like Jenks=Lee Smith. That reliable closer for the next ten years. He's on his third year of doing this job so successfully. Seems like a true relief ace is one of the hardest pieces to find...we have him, he's young and cheap. Sure he can look shaky at times...but I think his save percentage is great considering his young. Unless we can trade him for an Albert Pujols prospect...you don't trade (and by the way...who would trade an AP type prospect...accept, you know, us...go look at Chris Young play CF in 2008...sniff, sniff). Uh ya, Chris Young is talented but not THAT talented.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 29, 2007 -> 02:44 PM) He's about to be traded. For R. Liriano.

Toby Hall doesn't even feel like a member of the White Sox.

Watched Poolhall Junkies today. Never even heard of it before today but my roommate had it so I gave it a watch. I really enjoyed it.

Hey Brian, SIU is supposedly looking at Brandon Paul from Warren. Kind of interesting, I might need to go to a Stevenson-Warren game this season, see what the kid is all about.

Mark is so damn awesome. Bobby seems to be back in his groove after a little rough patch, so that's great to see. How'd Richar look? Obviously judging from the boxscore he had a very nice game.
