If he got a minor league contract with an invite to ST, then this wouldn't be a bad signing. But to consider giving him a major league deal if he was to start for us (if dye does in fact go), then that would be bad IMO. If he were a back up, that's another story, but he's proven time and time again that he can't hit at the major league level.

QUOTE (1399 @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 02:45 AM) Class is over rated but I would agree that Im despicable and so was the production of the 4-7 batters in the order which is the point here. I watched every game and saw Dye as well as the rest of the middle of the order leave runner after runner stranded on base. The .210 average was with two and thats my mistake for not pointing that out. At least you understood what I was getting at. The .269 with less than two out isnt much better and below league average. With guys like OC and Carlos getting on base Dye should have easily led the team in RBI and didnt despite Carlos missing almost the entire month of Septemeber. Call it what you want and make any excuse you want but I call call it flat out pathetic. One more thing. It's not what you hit but when you hit it. Dye didnt hit much when the Sox really needed him to and thats the point. If this rumor is true he will NOT be missed. He will not be missed by you, but by everyone else, yes.

Good, now ATL can see how he wets the bed in big games. Peace out Javy.

I would prefer the picks, but i wouldn't mind if he accepted arbitration.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 5, 2008 -> 01:02 PM) KW isnt going to go into ST with 2 holes in the rotation and no leadoff hitter. In a sense, he did last year. The great Jerry O got hurt and Danks and Floyd were more or less considered holes. Nobody expected them (danks & floyd) in ST to be as effective and dominant as the were at seasons end.

QUOTE (R.J. @ Dec 4, 2008 -> 02:02 PM) The worst name I've ever heard. Fixed it for you. I would like to know who chose that name, because they shouldn't have a job anymore.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Dec 4, 2008 -> 12:36 AM) I really hope that all this savings is going towards a big splash (trade, major fa signing or multiple smaller signings. ) .Right now, I am not sure what to think. The 2000 payroll (31 mil) seems like a long time ago, but so does 2008 payroll after all these salary dumps. What should we expect this year? I don't think that the payroll will fall under 100 mil. I think KW has got something up his sleeve that none of us know about yet that will keep it above the century mark.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Dec 3, 2008 -> 08:58 PM) According to Rotoworld, Khalil is on the verge of getting traded to an undlisclosed team. Probably us, we could use more infielders. Not really. Khalil is reportedly going to STL for a couple of relievers. per rotoworld Khalil Greene-SS-Padres Dec. 4 - 12:10 am et The Cardinals are on the verge of acquiring Khalil Greene from the Padres for two relief prospects, according to the New York Post. We'll assume that neither Chris Perez nor Jason Motte is in the deal. If that's the case, it will probably be a pretty good one for St. Louis. Greene should prove to be at least a league-average shortstop away from Petco. He'll certainly be plenty motivated in what will be his walk year. not sox news at all, but since it was brought up in here, i figured i would post it.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Dec 3, 2008 -> 09:11 PM) I'm definitely not going to miss Jackson. He was terrible. So long, Fiesty. I don't think DJ was terrible. When he wasn't being bothered by Hawk, he was very entertaining. When he did a couple of broadcasts on FOX not with Hawk he was very good IMO. The other announcer actually let DJ speak.

TIFWIW Javier Vazquez-S-White Sox Dec. 2 - 7:16 pm et According to ESPN.com, the White Sox will trade Javier Vazquez and Boone Logan to the Braves for Jo-Jo Reyes, Brent Lillibridge and a prospect. Ken Rosenthal agrees that the deal has been agreed to, but he doesn't think Reyes is involved. On the other hand, he believes young slugger Tyler Flowers might be going to Chicago in the trade. It sounds like it will be a good deal for the Braves, though there's really no need for Logan to be involved. They already have seven relievers better than him.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 05:20 PM) Booner the spooner Yeah you know it! I wish i had a name like that.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 05:16 PM) Did he rub your feet at night? Yeah, right before he tucked me in.

I for one am personally going to miss Boone.

The end of his swing reminds me of Torii Hunter.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 16, 2008 -> 03:30 PM) Off topic, but pretend the Sox had both Valentin and Swisher on the same team last year. Does Swisher's parasitic "influence" over hair and hair care products lead to a giant pink mustache on Jose? I believe that Jose definitely would have rocked a pink stache.

Varitek is a switch hitter, not just lefty.

QUOTE (StatManDu @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 11:31 PM) THIS DATE IN WHITE SOX HISTORY: OCT. 23RD OCTOBER 23RD 2005: Let’s just call it the greatest game in the 106-year history of the franchise known as the Chicago American League ballclub. On a cold and wet Sunday night in Chicago, Scott Podsednik’s walkoff home run lifted the White Sox to a 7-6 mind-blowing win over Houston before 41,432 in Game 2 of the World Series at U.S. Cellular Field. Podsednik’s heroics, the 14th game-ending blast in Fall Classic history and the first by a player who had no dingers during the regular-season, came with one out in the ninth off Brad Lidge. The shocking blast put the White Sox up 2-0 in the Series. The Sox looked to be control of this one in the seventh when Paul Konerko’s grand slam – the first by a Sox player in postseason and the 18th in World Series history -- gave them a 6-4 lead. Konerko’s blast was the first slam in Series history that came in the seventh inning or later and erased a deficit. This game was not without controversy. With one out in the seventh, Jermaine Dye was hit by a pitch to load the bases. The Astros protested that the ball hit the bat and not Dye and replays backed that up. However, Dye took first and Konerko followed with the slam. Those feisty Astros tied the game with two in the ninth off Bobby Jenks with the tying run scoring on a close but clearly safe play at the plate. In the ninth, Juan Uribe led off with a fly out to center before Podsednik sent Lidge’s 2-1 pitch into the right field stands to put the Sox two wins from their first World Series title since 1917. When I walked out of the park that night – for the last time during that magical season – I knew I had not only witnessed the greatest game inthe history of the Sox but in the history of the great City of Chicago as well. Your last sentence couldn't be anymore right. Being 15 and witnessing that glorious moment in person made me realize what playoff baseball is all about.

35 and 14

I would like to see a Rays-Dodgers World Series, but i won't be mad if the Phils get in instead. I can't stand the Red Sox anymore.

I just joined.

If only i didn't have class till 4:45. The wait to watch the game is gonna kill me.
