QUOTE(VAfan @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 05:38 PM) The one thing that makes me think this isn't going to happen is that I think Soriano overvalues his services. Accordingly, he's not going to sign a deal in the next few days at any level the Sox would offer. I mean, the Sox aren't going to give him Paul Konerko money. Yet I think that's what Soriano thinks he can command. thinks he will command? He'll get Konerko money... maybe more

QUOTE(BoKnows @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 05:30 PM) doubt this is worth anything, but Harry on Mac Jurko & Harry said he just heard a report that a deal for Soriano for Pods and Vazauez was in the works. unlikely, but if that's the deal, pull the trigger Kenny! about the only think I can say in that department is that Vazquez's numbers, (beyond ERA) actually aren't that bad. I can't imagine that the market for soriano is so dry that he would resort to this deal

I think pods has great value for this white sox team... as a pinch runner

QUOTE(Sox It To Em @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:53 PM) I think I would spiff my pants if we acquired Soriano without giving up McCarthy. maybe... I would probably Shi'ite my pants also

QUOTE(TheHolyBovine @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:42 PM) UPDATE: KW was interviewed by Dibble and Kennedy on XM's "The Show", and said that there's no way that any pitcher off of the major league roster will be traded before the deadline. He said that he told BMac personally that he's not going anywhere. "Brandon McCarthy is part of our present and future. He's not going anywhere." If I were Kenny Williams, and my plan was to drive the price up on Detroit, I would not be saying these things. So maybe the Sox and Nats are close... its just that the deal involves other players. I have no idea who... cause I'm not sure what Haeger's real value is, but maybe something else is out there.

Oh, how i can't wait for a strict constructionalist opinion on this....

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:03 PM) If they had an opposite for gold glove awards, these 2 would win it. Please no C Lee. Ever see Manny Ramirez?

Since the flurry of reporting on this issue about an hour and a half ago, has anyone heard anything else on this rumor? Score? AM1000? ESPN? National Inquirer?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:58 PM) also, Humberto Sanchez was just scratched from his start tonight. Could detroit have finally given in to Washington/'s demands based on this rumor? hmm... very interesting...

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:51 PM) I think it's safe to say that Uncle Jer is not going to pay PayRod's salary. keep in mind that the texas rangers owe 10 mil on each year of arods contract. so arod for 15 mil is more financially possible

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) Soriano and Uribe for A-Rod?????????? Why on earth would the yankees want uribe?

No world series was ever one by the having a decent long relief guy come out of the bullpen... Having a guy who can lead off, steal, and hit home runs.... that works pretty well

I for one would be very happy

This is excellent... Thanks for all your work. Now if I can find a bears one I will be set

I wouldn't mind seeing Ozzie rip up the club house... You know, go nuts in front of the team and trash some couches and tables and whatnot.... Failure to execute was never a problem last year.... It is what is keeping up from firing on all cylinders this year

the ship be sinking

I'm leaving the board... i feel like me paying attention to this game is bad luck.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 02:21 PM) I love/hate Zumaya. thats sorta how i feel about liriano

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 02:18 PM) dosent Zuyma throw like 134 mph? Maybe, but if you ask hawk, Sam McDowell through 177 mph.

Wow.... as I look back through this thread, its like 65% widger bashing 10% Ozzie bashing (for playing widger) and the rest general commentary on the game. I'm beginning to think that some of you don't think Chris widger should be playing

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 01:39 PM) HORRIBLE!!!! I've seen enough of the bench for a while Oz, leave the freaking starters in there please! I think mack is hitting like .420 over the past month or so

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 12:55 PM) Has anyone ever heard anyone use the word "equadistant" other than Hawk? my high school geometry teacher

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 12:46 PM) Farmer - "Did you watch any of the British Open today?" Singleton - *stern* "NO" /10 seconds of awkward silence Singleton - "Konerko and Dye . . ." Very awkward exchange. there was another classic exchange a few days ago too... About two days after the trade, Farmer asked Singleton what he thought about the reds-nationals trade: Singleton knew nothing about it. I don't know what Singleton was doing for those two days... it was all over the sports knews.

I like palehose six... many of them are actually pretty funny. That said, I must be missing this one today. I'm not real sure I get it. can anyone help me out?
