QUOTE(fry the twinkies @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 11:02 PM) You know I'd root for the Cubs, but from what I've seen, y'all hate both the Cubs and Twins. Idf they played for the World Series, who would you root for? The Twins, of course.

QUOTE(fry the twinkies @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) I'm a fan of Chicago baseball. I'm a fan of baseball. I have my teams I like and my teams I hate, but the only time I root against the Sox is when they play the Cubs. Oh boy. :headshake :fthecubs

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 04:56 PM) I'm confused, don't the Sox still have a roster spot available? I thought Walker was sent down to make room for the duke, no? Nope. Walker was sent down to make room for Marte.

Shingo was one of the few brights spots last year after Frank and Magglio went down with injuries. His success in replacing Koch gave us all something to celebrate and enjoy. I hope he hooks on with someone and has a decent 2nd half.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) My computer just got stickier......... Because I spit Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper all over the screen. Wow thats laugh out loud funny dude. Thanks I'm glad you clarified just how your computer got stickier. As I started reading your post, I got concerned.

Well, I guess we can close this subforum now.

I didn't see that particular error vs. the Cubs, but I have seen Gload play the outfield. He seems to play a somewhat acceptable left field, yet for some reason he cannot seem to read the ball coming off the bat in right. He really really sucks in RF.

QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:23 PM) Shingo released SOx have 10 days to trade him Source?

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) I love the Cardinals. I worship the White Sox. Thats it. The Sox will always be #1 for me. I just cannot stop thinking about them, especially this year. I dont know. It's been an obsession. I just randomly blurt "White Sox are awesome" sometimes; people kind of look at me. But when I'm not really thinking about anything, they come straight to mind. Wierd.. yeah, but I dont care. I love this. The Cardinals are a great team filled with good players and good guys. LaRussa has White Sox connections; Pujols is a more talented version of Sean Casey who is just an allaround great human being. Rolen plays 3rd so well. They do things right. They are a great team. And I wish to like hell they wouldve beaten the 'Other' Sox last October. But this year, despite how much I like what the Cardinals are doing, I cant get over my White Sox. And I'll be forced to hate anything that stands between us and destiny. So Cardinals, please lose in the ALCS so I dont have to hate you. Sorry, but that's not gonna happen. The NLCS maybe, but not the ALCS.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) Probably. I just hope they dont put Gload on waivers. I have a funny feeling someone will grab him. He has options remaining. He won't have to pass through waivers.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) Jenks can go donw no matter what to put El Duque on the roster. I'm more questionning when something has to happen to figure out what to do with Gload, who's rehab assignment ends today. He'll be officially optioned to Charlotte, according to the papers.

From ESPN:

QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) I would rather have Craig Counsell over Cintron. maybe we can trade Shingo,Willie for him than bring up Ross Gload Agreed. I'd rather have the solid veteran player this year. Good point. However, it's probably not doable.

From the score: Sources indicate that the White Sox are ready to send reliever Shingo Takatsu to Arizona. ready to does not equal gone.

Now that, my friends, is what you call respect.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) www.670thescore.com Thank you!

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 12:40 PM) Randa's price not too high!?!? Via Juggs: http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...170360/1071/SPT Joe Randa - probably headed out of town (Cincy) for a AA prospect. Is the price really that low? Kenny has to jump on this for sure then Yet they say the Reds are shopping Randa around like he's Scott Rolen. So we have conflicting reports on what the Reds are asking for. As fans, we'll just have to wait and see what actually happens.

What is the link to the score's website?

QUOTE(Princess Dye @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) would a thread reading "670 reports shingo is gone" be more palatable? If they said that, then yes it would be because that in itself would be an accurate statement. But, if they don't give the specifics of the trade and announce it as a done deal, it STILL could be misleading even though it would be the Score's error.

QUOTE(Princess Dye @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 12:52 PM) so there is no importance to the fact that the Score says this trade is happening? lets face it: if i wasnt here entertaining myself with a faux-smarmy attitude, you would have said, 'thanks for the info' .... and you would have been informed, instead of pure evil. No one is being "evil" toward you. The thread title was misleading because the deal is not done yet. It's good to post reports about a possible deal, and this one may just happen. But, until Shingo's gone, then a thread title saying "shingo gone" is not accurate. I changed the title to eliminate confusion for all the other posters on Soxtalk, not to disrespect you.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) At least I wasn't the one who had to say it this time. Keep on saying it till Burnett's an Oriole.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 12:37 PM) But Lowell has been more successful than Crede in the span that Crede has been up in the MLB... But Lowell sucks NOW. Crede is, and will be, the much better 3B of two from the present forward.

QUOTE(Princess Dye @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) the key, however: will my thread be credited as the inaugural Shingo is gone thread? this is what Matters. Since this is what matters, Princess, I would like to inform you that there is an ongoing thread about this very thing in The Inside Beat subforum.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) 1.) Crede has a bad back that can hamper him long-term 2.) Crede has not played well in 1 1/2 seasons outside of a 2-3 weeks stretch earlier this season? Yes, his bad back is a concern. Crede has, however, outperformed Lowell this year.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) Because the Marlins supposedly won't let go of Burnett without dropping Lowell's salary. Then the Marlins can keep Burnett, imho.
