QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 01:14 PM) Thats who I hope it going to be on the block, not Jeff and Jordan.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 01:48 PM) If he went to Boston, not only does it weaken the White Sox, it makes a team they have to beat if they want to win the WS stronger. It would be a curious move to say the least unless KW got back major leaguers. I dont see him trading Thornton to a contending AL team.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 01:35 PM) What a f***ing mistake... I'm coining a phrase right now. KW is blinded by the "AL Central Illusion of Contention", where in the division is SO BAD that putting a team that underperforms in one facet of the game EVERY NIGHT, but is only 3 games out due to aforementioned bad division, is okay and said facet of the game needs no changes because "look how close we are to first with the team we have now" The part you missed is that the players being offered is not what he wanted. Thats how it should be, you need to hold onto your assets unless you are getting a better return that you would if he was on our team.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 11:57 AM) I will be there tonight. That should help pay for Rios' salary. I sold my tickets for all weekend, so hopefully those people buy lots of concessions.

KW is all over those pitching prospects in ATL.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 12:06 PM) Especially one who doesn't take conditioning and off-season work as seriously as others. Simply not true.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 12:06 PM) The Reds primary focus has been SP. I haven't heard much about them looking for bats. Though I'd love either one of their two catching studs.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 12:01 PM) Also, if the Reds are in on Quentin, they clearly aren't confident in Heisey or Alonso. Is Alonzo playing the OF these days?

So, lets say Pence goes to ATL for some pitching. We then have: Phils Red Sox Reds in the mix for Quentin. The Reds have some catching prospects that interest me.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 11:50 AM) Yea, I scoured my entire collection and got rid of any dupes, songs I never listened too or didn't like, etc. Like, for example, I have quite a few GNR songs right now, but there was a time my collection consisted of every album, every best of album, etc...including all the duplicates that came with them. and all the songs I never listened too. All gone. My GNR collection probably went from 150 songs to 15. I've removed all that garbage and just kept what I liked/used, instead. In the process, the size of my library probably dropped by 50%. I do that per device usually, and just make a ton of playlists and go off of that. Its kind of a hoarding activity, but I have so much storage on my iMac that its ok to keep around. Video on the other hand is really getting to be an obsession. I have so many seasons of every show on one of my hard drives its ridiculous.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 11:47 AM) With you 100% there. Shooting out a text as we speak, see if there is any action today on that front....

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 11:43 AM) I have tons of music, but none I won't listen too. I don't collect songs or albums for the sake of having songs/albums. If there was just 1 song I liked off an album, I have that 1 song. That's the entire advantage of digital music...I no longer have to have all the garbage songs that came with the ones that were actually good. The ONLY band I have entire albums from is Rush. I have about 18 gigs of music on my iPhone, and that's already overkill...it'd be impossible to listen too it all before I could easily swap it out for more -- which I never do. Yeah , I have a ton of box sets like Zep, PJ, GNR as well as every CD i've ever owned post house-fire. Thats why I have a few different ipods.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 11:44 AM) Somebody needs to remind Ed Wade that he's horrible and that franchise is by far the most pathetic in baseball. That original Phillies package of Cowart, Singelton and another high upside prospect was a pretty damn good offer. Hopefully the Phils get pissed, call KW and offer Brown+ and we take it. That would be ridiculous.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 11:39 AM) It's not going to happen. I can still see Dunn getting better but Rios is a lost cause. Frankly, I'm hoping De Aza goes on a magical run. Dunn has been picking it up and giving us better at bats, Rios sucks balls. Looking at the sortable team stats for the Sox makes me feel sick to my stomach. This is a prime reason why we need to unload Quentin for some young talent. This team as constructed is just not good.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 11:33 AM) You can't go by all MLB though since we play with a DH (who really might as well be a pitcher). In the AL, we are 12/14. We were one of the worst teams in baseball in July offensively.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 11:32 AM) It's clear to me in a five-game series, you go Danks-Humber-Buehrle. +1. IN fact Peavy goes to the pen in the playoffs IMO. Danks-Humber-Buehrle-Floyd

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 11:30 AM) Biggest understatement ever. We have one of the worst offenses in baseball. At least in 2005 we were middle of the pack. I mean come on, it's a struggle to get 2 or 3 runs on most nights. Actually we are about in the middle of the pack Offensively this year. 16 out of 30 in BA, lower in runs. Since the all star break we are incredibly inferior.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 11:18 AM) Not if you believe one team is clearly superior to the other. I don't believe any central team has a chance against Boston or NY. Yes, anything can happen. But going in, I don't think we'd have a shot. Offensively we are inferior, but we have one of the best if not the best AL pitching staff at the moment and have had the best ERA for several months. It was the same case in 2005 FYI.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 10:58 AM) Morons HAHA. Probably true. I have over 100 gigs of music on my classic in my car with probably 30+ playlists. my iphone simply doesnt cut it.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 11:13 AM) What is MPX? MplayerX from the app store. Free player that is much better than Quicktime from what I've seen so far. The new Appstore on the launch bar is an awesome idea.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 10:56 AM) If anyone thinks we have a chance of anything more than a division title, they are nuts IF we made the playoffs (not likely) we would be extremely dangerous based on our pitching alone.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 10:45 AM) Do a repair permissions on the external drive. Thinking about it, it shouldn't have anything to do with indexing, as that's merely for searching at a faster speed. Is it only movies you are having issues with, or anything you try to do off an external drive? Could be a bug if it's not permissions related. It was a quicktime issue, I downloaded MPX and everything plays just fine. Just took QT off my default list. That thing really is a piece of s***.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 06:33 AM) Had installed it earlier yesterday, I like it. In some ways, it's a pretty radical departure from the old idea of a desktop. But, you don't really have to use such features, either...so if you liked how OSX used to be, you can pretty much keep it that way. Can you help me dude. I downloaded and installed and now nothing from my 2 external HD's will play on QUicktime. It comes up, and I can double click on the movies but then nothing happens when I hit play. I figure its already indexed it.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 10:24 AM) @SI_JonHeyman Jon Heyman source: pence was told during last night's game he was being pulled due to trade, but then he wasnt pulled. #tradedeadline I'd rather have Pence too, but I hope this just drives up interest in Q.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 29, 2011 -> 10:13 AM) The score has an app I believe. Nope, WGN radio does, sorry
