South Side Fireworks Man

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:19 PM) It looks like he's changed his delivery, and you're right, maybe he's trying to hide a delivery. I didn't even know he was pregnant.

Another good play by Uribe.

Griffey catches that.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:02 PM) Absolutely pathetic AJ. That was f***ing embarassing That one was on Swisher too.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 10:00 PM) There is a reason Hawk was an absolutely terrible GM. And that was a routine play and a horrible throw by Uribe. Speed intimidated Uribe? STFU It was a good play by Uribe. Swisher failed to pick it.

Score another few runs quickly before Nathan gets warmed up.

Gut check time for the Sox.

Griffey will save us.

Fields sucks.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 07:50 PM) Who is going to hit better over the last 2 months of this season? This season right now. Konerko or Griffey. My opinion is Griffey. That's a fact.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) I dunno he seems pretty unhappy about the deal. He definitely doesn't seem too excited about the deal. He's basically not saying much about it. But he is by no means "livid".

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 07:34 PM) About the trade? Hawk isn't livid about anything. Someone is posting BS.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 08:06 PM) Stop hitting that 1st pitch Q

QUOTE (alexgtp @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 04:54 PM) Anyone have the lineup? OC, SS; AJ, C; Q, LF; JD, RF; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Swish, CF; Ram, 2B; Fields, 3B. Gavin Floyd on the mound.

Assuming he's healthy, I'd put Contreras as my number two guy. Buehrle, Contreras, Danks, Floyd.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 12:58 PM) If you have a team thats going to lose 90 games, Javy Vazquez will be a stud. A big game pitcher he is not. Yep. Now that he has put the Sox in a hole, he'll settle down until the Sox score some runs. Then he'll give them right back. He'll pitch good enough to just lose.

QUOTE (shawnhillegas @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 12:56 PM) This game is going to be ugly. All the Sox games have been ugly lately. Let's just hope they pull this one out too.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 12:47 PM) So there going to score again and we'll score one? Javy is blowing hard right now. Falling behind almost every hitter. He'll pitch just well enough to lose.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 12:43 PM) Let's see Vazquez start pitching like a $13,000,000 a year pitcher. If the Sox don't score, Javy will hold the Tigers down. If the Sox score one, Javy will give up two. If the Sox score five, Javy will give up six.

Josh Fields, your bus is waiting.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 10:35 PM) Strike out, Ground out, WALK, RALLY STARTING HIT. 1 for 3 on the night. .....And an error on a DP ball that led to a couple of runs.....

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 10:19 PM) The Sox could look to improve their bullpen, although their leverage was weakened by Joe Crede's back injury that necessitated the promotion of third baseman Josh Fields from Triple-A Charlotte. Crede won't be eligible to return until Aug. 6 That shouldn't affect anything regarding trading Fields, unless it actually gives the Sox more leverage, making any team that would want him feel that they would have to give a little bit more to pry him away from the Sox now that Crede is on the DL. But the Sox shouldn't let Crede's injury stand in the way of trading Fields.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 10:47 PM) Aside from the MRI, is there any indication this is career or even season ending???? No. Anyway, if Josh Fields is the key to getting some quality pitching in here, the Sox should not let Crede's injury nix the deal. Josh's production at the plate is not that much better than Uribe's to offset his poor defense compared to Juan's.

Sox should not hesitate to trade Fields if a deal for something that can help hinges on him being included. Uribe can play third base and Richar or one of the other middle infielders can come up if needed to back up. Field's offense does not offset his bad defense. If he's the key to a trade, I wouldn't let Crede's injury get in the way.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) That article would indicate Cora would be the utility guy. Fields would back up third I'd imagine. Crede is hurt, I don't see any reason not to give Fields the chance. I'd definitely puke if they traded Uribe for Cora. Uribe is a better utillity guy than Alex Cora. Uribe is the best defensive third-baseman in the Sox organization. Although his batting is extremely streaky, he does have 20 HR power. He's also a top tier defensive SS and second-baseman. If they get some real value for Uribe, fine. But you don't trade him for an Alex Cora or a run-of-the mill "prospect".
