QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 18, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) If you threw in the towel, why would Sale be in AAA? You may as well start him in the majors and if he can only go 4 or 5 innings, than so be it. Because I don't think he's ready to be a starter yet, based entirely on his performance this season. He's been relegated to mopup duty already because he's been to reguarly wild. I want him to take a step back in who he's facing and work on repeatability and throwing strikes.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 18, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) And we've gained, what, a game? It will most definitely take an "insane" run to overtake the Indians. I don't care how many games we gain on Cleveland right now. I care only about how many we gain on .500. Get me to .500 first then I will start looking at the record.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 18, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) No green? None at all. If we got rid of 2 pitchers and tossed in the season, I'd want to see Humber stay in the rotation to find out if he can roll this for a full season, and I'd want Sale in AAA. Galaragga has a solid fastball slider combo but has zero consistency on his release point. He's the kind of guy who might work well in Cooper's system. Maybe it's a 1/20 shot, but answer me this...who else do we have who deserves a shot at starting for the big league team? There's no one from AAA who deserves a spot.

Mouthwash first.

I bet he can still outrebound some of the guys on the Heat.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 18, 2011 -> 02:40 PM) no way. that HAS to be a joke. that is just so dang funny and frankly not something I would expect from an incumbent president. They couldn't get the Barack Obama website if it wasn't a joke. Legit.

Kiss and make up?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 18, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) Mr. perfect game was designated for assignment. Didn't a few posters want to take a flier on him? If we sold off everyone and traded D1 and Jackson, sure, I'd see what Coop could do with him.

I disagree. Yours was just later.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 18, 2011 -> 02:16 PM) Jones? And I did this on purpose. As I'm sure that was a typo. But you are the most literal poster I've ever seen. If I just randomly said 2+2 is 5 you would correct me and say 4. Yes, Jones. My mistake, thank you.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 18, 2011 -> 02:12 PM) From the track record KW has, do you really think if this team is sitting at .500 he is going to blow it up? I think if this team is sitting 5 games below .500 on Memorial day he will start making calls, and if someone puts up a solid offer for Danks or Pierzynski he'll move them immediately. He'd have moved AJ last year had anyone wanted to take him on, and that was with the Sox in better shape than they are now.

Remember though, there's another ticking clock...revenues. If the Sox start gaining 1 game a week, that means they're 5 games below .500 on Memorial day and maybe closing in on .500 by July 1. Last year, KW was trying to move people at the beginning of June. Only reason he hadn't done so when the hot streak erupted was that he didn't yet have takers. We may not be so fortunate this year if we bounce around below .500 for the entire month of June.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) And now neither does anyone who votes for Obama. Depends on the illegal war still.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2011 -> 01:56 PM) All while voting for Obama again... I don't think anyone who ever voted for McCain or Bush has a right to lecture anyone about candidates supporting illegal wars.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 18, 2011 -> 01:56 PM) I think it's difficult for them to assume that strategy given that their entire payroll is going to three players, one of which is fairly soft. I don't expect any of the big 3 to be good at "Beating people up", and I don't expect the role players they need to have on the floor (Miller and Johnson) to be good at it either. Their rotating C's might be, but half of them are ancient or hurt.

Don't need to. He'll quit on his own.

So, as of the end of this week, we'll get to celebrate 2 months of successful humanitarian bombing of Libya, and I'll officially get to say that this is an illegal war.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 18, 2011 -> 01:42 PM) Santos and Konerko with Quentin an outside consideration Quentin needs to get out of his recent funk. Now.

Although, if one of them were to run over Dwyane Wade..

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 18, 2011 -> 01:37 PM) Trade him and then go after him again in FA? Doesn't sound very plausible. The A's did lose Braden. But with Cahill, Anderson, Gio and hopefully B-mac, they're not exactly hurting pitching wise. And their system is kinda down right now, anyway, outside of SS Grant Green. How much of that rotation do you expect to stay healthy the rest of the year though?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 18, 2011 -> 01:37 PM) That philosophy didn't translate well for us in round 1. That's because the Pacers were the team looking to beat the Bulls up. The roles are reversed here.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 18, 2011 -> 10:18 AM) So Balta is one of the sites you use Inbox Dollars? No.

Southeast Tennessee looks...the same.
