Win.

Well that would certainly be awesome depending on who we'd have to give up.

For me, it's a must that Brandon McCarthy is in the rotation one way or another by the time August 1 rolls around. Kenny needs to find a taker for Vaz or Garcia and just get the best value he can get. Right now, the Twins have 2 automatics wins and we basically have 2 automatic losses, that ain't going to get it done.

Went to New York in May, that's it though. I really just can't wait for this summer to be over and to get back to school.

He was out.

You have to try to get into 3rd there.

Well that was unexpected....

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 07:42 PM) Not quite. We don't beat the bad teams as well as they did, but we were much better going up against the good teams. We beat up on plenty of bad teams last year. And if you're talking about this year, we've had our butts whooped by good teams.

See if Sandy can stay off the dl for this ab.

QUOTE(Jake @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 05:03 PM) Well, the salaries REALLY start adding up when you have Soriano's $13+ million contract and Crede's likely $8+. You also have a ton of money coming off the books after 07 which could be used to sign Joe long term. I really don't think having Soriano would end up effecting Joe.

QUOTE(bmags @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 04:57 PM) if we resign Soriano, does that mean crede gone. Re-signing Soriano would have nothing to do with Joe.

QUOTE(SnB @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 04:20 PM) Anyone else up for changing the title of this thread? Cause from the main page it definitely looks like: "Soriano to the white sox: p" and i thought it was gonna say, Per 670 or something ^^^ Was gonna say the same thing.

QUOTE(SnB @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 10:37 AM) I WAS DRIVING, I WAS CONCENTRATING Brian was in the front seat when he got the message, concentrating or not I thought you could hear.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 10:29 AM) Weren't you in the car last night..? He was there, the memory must be going already.

QUOTE(SnB @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:55 AM) it has been shown before that the 6 man rotation just doesn't work. The obvious answer here is just to switch bmac and javy, it's definitely worth a shot in my mind. Unfortunately, it's not going to happen any time soon.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:52 AM) But since you bolded the runs per game since the ASB, don't forget the 5.61 era our staff is sporting over the same period. How about everything is bad lately. Correct. The difference is that this is just a few week dry spell from the offense, this has been a whole year thing for the pitching, especially Freddy and Javy. The offense will be fine, I have no faith in Javy and Freddy on the other hand.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:22 AM) Hell.. I think all of 127 was screaming for it. This is true.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:27 AM) Steff there's no big drama about why Dye was out. He was getting a day off because he had played a lot and had whiffed four times in the game before. Incorrect.

QUOTE(IowaSoxFan @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 09:16 AM) What about acquiring Pierre to play Center and lead off the rest of the season? CF Pierre LF Soriano DH THome 1B Konerko RF Dye 2B Iguchi C Pierzynski 3B Crede SS Uribe Hopefully after those moves we weould still have BA as a defensive replacement for Piere late in the game No.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:44 AM) Additionalluy, I would not be surprised to still see Brandon shipped out. For a while there yesterday, I thought he was already a goner. Hopefully he can find a ride to the airport if he does get traded.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 08:25 AM) I know, I'm just curious what the official excuse was. This "God" complex is getting out of hand. It's going to blow up soon, and it aint going to be pretty. Very soon.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 07:55 AM) But Ozzie doesn't look at stats -- he goes with his gut! Because it worked so well with Neal Cotts against Texas. I know you're being sarcastic but it's not even about looking at stats, that move was common sense imo. Seemed like an obvious decision to me, but I guess I was wrong. Anyways, I think I've b****ed enough about everything, so I'll let it go now.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 07:45 AM) He could absolutely, but he'll need to show next season an increased K rate in AAA I would imagine. What do you think is fair value for Lumsden BTW Rowand, if you had to pick an available player that would fit the need of this team instead of MacDougall? That's a good question and to be honest, I don't have a good answer right now. I know it's nice for me to play fantasy gm and not even come up with a plausible idea but I just have a real bad feeling about this deal. I do know one thing though, Mike is going to make me nervous everytime out there, just waiting for another injury. Hopefully I'm wrong about this whole thing, I just don't like trading our best minor league arm for a guy who makes Kerry Wood's mechanics look good, and yes I stole that line from Steve Stone.
