QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 09:22 PM) What speed? The one that gets him thrown out on the bases nearly 50 percent of the time (if you take into account pickoffs)? no, not in terms of sb's but as in infield hits, 1st to 3rd, scoring from 2nd on a hit-basically not clogging the bases like the other guys

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 09:21 PM) Yes. so do we let him go or do we live with his awful D?

so theres 0 chance that pods can be our dh next year? would it be bcuz he wants to play the field, they want thome again, we should have a slugger in the dh spot, etc? i know it kinda sounds dumb, but his bat and speed is still very useful but he just cant field

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 09:15 PM) Yeah, no communication between those two after the play. Just a Dye "WTF is your problem, interloper Rios?" look. that was all on jd. last week or something too, when he dropped a ball or missed it in the lights or something, they showed him in the dugout after and he just had a look like he didnt care and threw his hands up like whatever, it fell, not my fault,nothing i could do

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 09:09 PM) What happened with Dye? I missed it. looked like a routine fly, he camped under it. then he started to drift torwards center and it fell. that was a horrible horrible play

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 09:06 PM) That was the worst defensive play i have ever seen. that. what a joke. same thing every damn day

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 07:20 PM) Even as people are getting raises...the Sox continue to have money coming off the books. Konerko and Pierzynski's contracts, together about $20 million, come off the books after 2010. Yes, you're giving people raises, but if you can win while working in the young guys, you can keep the run going for a long time. oh

QUOTE (C_LEE45 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 01:09 PM) This team just needs a spark of some sort(bench clearing brawl,ozzie getting tossed,or AJ to stir something)it just seems like there flat and outta of it sometimes,or maybe stir something up by saying jenks you are now the set-up man for Thornton!!!!!! Or Peavy goes out and dominates the cubbies and we take off from there!!!!! BUT this team is WAY better than what it is showing and maybe we get hot at the right time like 05 ozzie getting tossed wont do anything and peavy will not pitch against the cubs. and why do ppl say maybe about bringing back thome and dye? we'll be the same like this yr

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 04:21 PM) Pending some trades, the Sox will have about $10-12 million to spend on free agents. I personally would love Figgins. Yea he is getting a bit older but he could steal bases (37/50) he could still get on base .401 OBP, and he is better defensively than Pods. So yeah i would spend that Dye money on Figgins. yea but shouldnt the sox hold on to some of that money? meaning not commit a lot of money bcuz were going to have to give a lot of raises pretty soon?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 04:56 PM) We have Twins and Tigers fans too. And they're all good posters, including HM, so I'd lay off him. But the DeJesus/Rios comparison is a bit out there. no, nothing wrong with that. but me being a sox fan, i wouldnt be a poster on a non sox board, esp twins, tigers, etc boards. he wouldnt want rios just bcuz the 60mil too lol oh how the royals have gotten the fans to think the same loljp oh, btw, besides last yr, dejesus' numbers every year are very avg and he doesnt steal enough bases considering he has pretty good speed. nice player but rios is still better

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 02:52 PM) If Rios played on the Royals he would be the best position player you have. No need to get jealous about the Sox adding Rios and Peavy while your outstanding GM preps for the playoff run by adding the vaunted Yuniesky Betancourt. rios is waay better than dejesus, any team would take rios over dejesus. ....how come we have a royals fan on soxtalk??

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 03:27 PM) This might be one of the greatest "tallest midget" teams I can remember in years. This team flat out owns bad teams and then they look terrible against good teams. yup, they arent doing anything this year. i dont care if they even manage to make the playoffs. they are awful. and their future,unlike the sox, doesnt look good at all with no minor leaguers coming up and with horrible contracts

the pirates are reallly bad...4-0 cubs . then they sweep the pirates and the cubs are great again

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 01:31 PM) I never really liked watching Sweaty Freddy pitch (minus the one hitter against MN) Nevertheless, I hope this somehow turns into a fantatic move for the White Sox and a great rejuvination of his career. and game 4?lol

welcome back freddy, my fave sox player ,

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 12:16 PM) I should be behind the big screen tonight since that game is a PDT start adn on WGN. Hope to see Jose throw a god game to follow up Danks and Buerhle's performances i hope so....i saw jose's last two starts in person...looked awful

QUOTE (SnB @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 11:27 AM) without looking it up, i'm pretty sure the sox have done fairly well in oakland since about '04. When was the mags fog game? that actually happend at the cell didnt it?

QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 02:31 PM) maybe jose will surprise some people tomorrow night and be like he was in 2005 in the ALCS. I'm going wednesday got some 4 free tix from my boss. Isn't that Mark Buehrle poster night. Anyone know how many people are getting them? maybe. bcuz i was dissapointed when i went to the rays sox game and richard was guna pitch and he ended up pitching great...yea, it is poster night. when i go tomarrow, theyll be giving away buehrle no hitter baseball cards, ur lucky u get the poster. i dont remember but i remember it being atleast the first 20,000

QUOTE (tonyho7476 @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 01:13 PM) I'll be there tomorrow too...and I thought the same thing when I heard the Count was pitching. the matchups look a lot better for the next 2 games,oh well. i bought these tickets a while ago but im going to one of the games against the indians this weekend so ill be sure to check the matchups this time i can only go sunday..so its going to be jose again sunday?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 12:48 PM) They will be running all day on Contreras tomorrow night. contreras tomarrow? ugh im going tomarrow, i was hoping itd be floyd..

QUOTE (Stocking @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 08:32 PM) why even put him in a situation to run? You guys are thinking with your cub hate love. well he has to run, to get to balls, cover 1st etc. maybe its a dumb question, in regards to the padres "friars" who is that or what does it mean?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 08:24 PM) Meh, his ankle is going to take more of a beating pitching than it will running. yea and chances are he will strikeout and im sure hes smart and knows to be careful trying to run. but he has to run regardless, to cover first, to get to balls. so theyre going to make sure hes 100%

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 06:24 AM) Maybe...I guess I forgot about the deal that Teixeira just got from the Yankees. That being said, he doesn't strike me as the type of kid that is going to care about the difference between $17 million a year and $21 million a year. I think as long as the Twins make him a fair offer, and a very rich man, he'll take less and stay there. I really think folks are underestimating the fact that he is a homegrown kid with somewhat simple tastes. ..i dont know thats a lot, 5+mil more a year. hes guna get atleast 100mil. i think a lot will have to do with how the twins do next year too. if they have a bad year partially bcuz they wont have the dome, then he might want to go elsewhere. well theres still a while till then and we're not getting him, so it doesnt really matter i guess

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 2, 2009 -> 01:59 AM) I would be shocked if Minnesota did not offer him something along the lines of 5/$75. If he claims he needs 5/$100 or else he'll go to NY or Boston, he'll get raked over the coals by the fanbase. yup and its guna take a lot more than 5/75

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 1, 2009 -> 08:15 PM) I prefer Nix out there. He actually takes a ball (gasp! sometimes more than one per at bat, gasp!), he doesn't swing the for fences every time (gasp!) and with Getz and Pods we have a team that can run, run, run. We lose Alexei's crazy strong arm at SS, but I don't think Nix makes the X number of errors Alexei is going to make, so to me, that's a wash. What say you? yea, its not happening lol
