QUOTE(YASNY @ May 11, 2006 -> 02:50 AM) You input is greatly appreciated. :finger It's always fun to see someone rationalize giving up on a player after one game. I couldn't see the game but it does sound like Haeger can be a solid major leaguer with a little bit of a work and I'm sure it wasn't easy filling in for the best pitcher in baseball right now.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 11, 2006 -> 02:45 AM) Here's a few names of the top of my head. Vlad Guerrero Paul Konerko Jim Thome Albert Pujols Jon Smoltz Pedro Martinez Johan Santana What do these guys all have in common? They were ALL rookies at point in their career. So, no Joe Crede and Jon Garland are not 'the best we got". Guerrero-sucks Konerkos-sucks Thome-sucks Pujols-he's ok, I guess Smoltz-sucks Pedro-sucks Johan-sucks I don't see your point.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ May 10, 2006 -> 07:54 PM) Look at this pic from Tribune: Walker's pickin' his dick. Yes, that's exactly what he's doing.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 10, 2006 -> 11:40 PM) I would have given Haeger possibly another game, very hard for a pitcher in his 1st major league game to come out and pitch well straight away. I would have as well just because I don't think it's worth it to screw around with Brandon for one start when he's still trying to get used to being a reliever.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 10, 2006 -> 11:36 PM) Tracey has stuff, but he needs to cut down on the walks. I'd be surprised if it was him, but he is on the 40. Agreed but 4 lefties in the bullpen would definitely be different if we called up Lopez.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 10, 2006 -> 11:33 PM) The Score after game show was stating that it would probably be a righty recalled from AAA and it would most likely be Tracey.

I like that a lot.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 10, 2006 -> 11:28 PM) Sox games would be blacked out, if I bought it here. Tell me about it.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 10, 2006 -> 11:19 PM) Unless they replace Jason Johnson and Jake Westbrook gets back to his 2004 level, I can't see the Indians winning more than 90 games, and in this division the way that we are playing, I don't think that will be enough. Mediocre starting pitching + s***ty bullpen= not a contender. Unless they make over their whole pitching staff, they aren't going anywhere.

Wow, it just keeps getting worse for the Royals.

5-3 Royals.

QUOTE(Benchwarmerjim @ May 10, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) Twins -Rangers tied at 1 in the bottom of 5 -- I have a Sox question... why, when Conteras went on the DL, didnt you slide over McCarthy to the rotation. I heard on the radio that you guys called up a knuckleballer No need to mess around with Brandon for one or two starts and then throw him back in the bullpen. He's also too valuable to our pen to put him in the rotation right now.

It's a joke.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 10, 2006 -> 01:58 PM) Hold on, let me see if that will work, first I will try to complete the trade...... So...did it work?

QUOTE(SnB @ May 10, 2006 -> 01:47 PM) i can't believe i can't see the game tonight. You'll live.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 10, 2006 -> 01:41 PM) Lets just trade Fields for Barry Zito or Dontrelle. And make one of them our loogy?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 10, 2006 -> 01:39 PM) For whatever reason they always black out Cardinals games in Chicago, it makes no f***ing sense and just proves once again that ESPN really can't do anything right. It f***in sucks cause they black out Sox games here in Carbondale which makes no f***in sense either. ESPN is just retarded and horrible.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 10, 2006 -> 11:41 AM) Dude, I appreciate you medical input. Thanks. ^^^ It's nice to find out what all this stuff means.

I think I'm going to have my mom record this game just because I really want to see Chuck pitch. Hopefully that thing will be dancing all over the place. What's the over/under on passed balls for AJ tonight?

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 10, 2006 -> 11:30 AM) If he can get people out and wants to do it, then yes. If he can't be effective, I'd love to have him around the team because he's a real solid guy, but don't put him out there in that case. Right, what I meant was with his back hurting all the time could he still be effective...I'm not so sure. Definitely agree here.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:20 AM) My take is that there will always be pain and discomfort and he may be thinking, I can do this for three months with pain killers and what not but not for a whole season. The problem with that is he was considerably worse once his back got messed up last year. I have no doubt Dustin can tough it out if need be but would that really be beneficial to the team?

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 10, 2006 -> 11:20 AM) Sometimes I think Crede sort of has a cult following around here. Only sometimes? I'm hoping we can keep Joe around for a while and I have faith in Joe to stay true to his words, however I just don't trust Boras and until a deal gets done I won't be overly confident.

I say we put Crede out there to catch, he's the only one would can handle a knuckleballer.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 10, 2006 -> 09:29 AM) Hopefully this is our own little mini trade deadline type pickup. Getting Hermanson back in August would be spectacular. It really would be. I'm not getting my hopes up though, I really believe Dustin is done. God, I hope I'm wrong.
