QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 06:17 PM) I love Kenny. Ditto.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 05:15 PM) Isn't that exactly what I said? Yeah, but it's the way you said it!

Probably just because Veal pitched yesterday so they figured at least Septimo is ready to go tonight if needed. I would have preferred Veal, but oh well...

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 10:05 PM) I hope Myers pitches Monday so we can talk about that instead of this. Hear hear.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 22, 2012 -> 03:00 PM) GB hitting is bulls***. We got 3 guys who can play 2nd. We need a starting second baseman who can hit. Gordon Beckham would be one of the best utility infielders in baseball. Then we wouldn't need to carry Escobar and Hudson on the roster.

I wonder how many players would want to play for the Sox (or any particular team for that matter) if they found out how many POS wife beaters, rapists, child molestors, thieves, drunks, or just assholes in general were fans of that team that regularly attended games, watched them on TV or posted on that team's fan message boards?

The cats in Bristol are sharp as a pistol, when they do the Bristol stomp.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 10:27 PM) Not an urban legend. I know the guy. Well if it's true it was a stupid question.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 06:57 PM) How about we drop the beating speculation as something people won't agree on, and get back to what Myers will be for the White Sox, and what we gave up to get him?

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 07:47 PM) wasn't AJ the guy when someone asked if he was ok after being hit in the nuts... he responded by hitting the guy in the nuts and asking him if it feels ok? Urban legend.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 07:40 PM) Who are the players you want to replace? We could use a good hitting second baseman. We could also use a good hitting outfielder. This would allow Viciedo to DH in place of Dunn at times according to matchups.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 07:06 PM) the #WhiteSox will have scored 2 runs or less in six of their nine games since the break. Let's sell the farm for a starting pitcher rental! We need position players who can hit.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 05:45 PM) That's surprising to me. Not that its a big loss. Who is going to be the long man? Might need one tomorrow. Santiago would be my guess.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 05:44 PM) Axelrod sent to Charlotte That's weird.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 21, 2012 -> 04:35 PM) Adam Dunn. Such a fearsome #3 hitter. Nice job, big man. Way to get it started. Sox need to trade for hitting, not pitching. A second baseman that can hit would be a welcome addition. Also, a good hitting outfielder that would allow Viciedo to DH at times, especially against LHP. If they could get someone to take Dunn in a trade, all the better but I doubt anyone would want him.

I just hope with this move KW is finished using precious resources for pitching and now concentrates on getting some position players that can hit.

QUOTE (Wedge @ Jul 16, 2012 -> 03:13 PM) I'd replace Hudson with Lilly. As we saw in the KC extra innings game, Hudson has 0 value to this team. Lilly is at least a solid baserunner. Agree 100%. If no one claims him before the Sox, it should be a no-brainer to reclaim him and dump Hudson.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 09:07 PM) I think the package to bring Dempster to the Sox is Castro, Jones and a low level prospect... Can't afford to lose Jones from the bullpen.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 08:49 AM) Because you don't want to use your top defensive replacements for a DH. It allowed Ventura to use Danks later to spell Viciedo. That really worked out well.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 10:35 AM) Its the regular lineup today.. AJ in = Sox win.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 14, 2012 -> 03:12 PM) I think what got Hudson was he took a bad angle coming around third and was coming to the plate really wide...might have cost him a couple steps... He rounded third way too wide instead of cutting the corner.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 14, 2012 -> 10:46 AM) That was a really really tough ball he dropped out there....seemed he had it in his glove and then dropped it when he made contact with the ball. And he's not a natural LFer, so he's playing out of his normal position where he has the most experience. He dropped it before he made contact with the wall. And he certainly is not a natural LFer, judging by the way he has played there for the Sox so far this season. It was not an easy play, but anyone who is supposed to be one of the better defensive outfielders makes that catch.

Where did Jordan Danks' defensive prowess go?

I did not like Robin putting Hudson in to pinch run for Dunn instead of Danks or Escobar. Why pinch run your slowest bench player there? And Danks should have caught that ball before he hit the wall. Either his defense is way overrated or he just hasn't played LF much because he sure hasn't impressed me as "the best defensive OFer in the organization" as Hawk calls him.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 12, 2012 -> 04:13 PM) Clearly, he's being moved in one of those trades. He said he'd make the first trade without giving up major league talent. I certainly don't think he's implying they would trade Jones for Oliver.
