QUOTE (dmbjeff @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 03:34 PM) The problem with this quote is that Vizquel apparently needs 2 days off in Ozzie's world and will be back starting on Tuesday. Vizquel should be back on the bench, spot starting and being a late inning D replacement. At least in my world, since Vizquel has been hitting, there really was no reason to make the move on Vicideo now.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 02:53 PM) Love how we called up Dayan to sit on the bench, I'm at a loss for words. Maybe he just missed his flight?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 09:19 AM) Saw somewhere recently, the Cubs have allowed more unearned runs than all but one other team this year. Their defense has been pretty bad. Castro is going through growing pains, Aramis has always been inconsistent and now the subs over there are worse, the outfield D speaks for itself... Lee is usually decent though, errors on consecutive plays is surprising. As of today they've allowed a major league leading 40 unearned runs.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 08:44 AM) What was the easy way? Use everyone who is poor to clean up the Gulf coast and then let them die from the fumes.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 08:14 AM) They already had financing lined up before USTREAS said no, we must do it. We haven't heard about this before or from anyone other than you, can I ask you to source that?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 02:38 PM) Just look at all the Red Sox and Yankees who make it on reputation year after year. Can you name any who made it with an ERA of 4.5+?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 10:43 AM) Except for Gavin's hit yesterday. Thing of beauty! He should have asked for the ball.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:23 PM) I still can't help but feel that the Mets are just patched up team who has played well over about 70 games. I'm waiting for the wheels to come off that bus at any time now. At some point they've got to get Beltran back right?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 02:23 PM) Ok, the Cavs need to realize to get Bosh in a sign and trade, they'd need desirable pieces. Antawn Jamison, Mo Williams, and others are not desirable pieces due to age/contract. You're assuming the Raptors are smart.

Soxnet.net...what the?

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) also, poptarts have too many calories wtf, 420 per package.. insane Welcome to American processed Cuisine.

WTF no Viciedo?

Omar Vizquel.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 10:24 PM) Brandon Allen has a .420 OBP with an .889 OPS for AAA Reno. Yea, the Sox could use him right now. So you're saying he's not hitting with a ton of power?

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 11:33 PM) Although I went through hell to get it, the Gordon Beckham bobblehead is cool. Funny thing is, the box says that he won rookie of the year in 2009. I believe he did win the "Sporting News rookie of the Year" award. He didn't win the AP version.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 06:53 AM) The Amare to Miami rumors are gathering pace. If they can't land Bosh, that's as reasonable of a move as any. 2 injury-worry stars.

GFloyd, on the road too.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 10:20 PM) Wow, that Strasburg kid can pitch. Imagine if he were on a winning team. He will be soon enough.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 08:10 PM) Yes, it is wrong to assume that he can't hit, but there's nothing wrong with looking back in history and seeing how other Korean position players have done in the majors before to get an idea. You know, we wound up saving a ton of money on Tadahito in 2005 because teams did the same thing with Kaz Matsui.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 08:55 PM) Pedro did his thing at the peak of the steroid era. Pedro's '98-2000 > Ubaldo's '10 Ubaldo is also in the NL.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 10:44 PM) There were rumors going around, nothing ever substantiated. Mostly, in house, similar to the Clemens ones at the time. The reality is...there are zero amazing performances between 1985 and 2005 that aren't going to get people suspicious.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 10:14 PM) And you people b**** now when soxtalk farts. I'm all about taking control of this site away from you and giving it to Obama.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 10:11 PM) In case you wonder, I've worked in the health care industry. Those cost curves are not going to save anyone anything. But keep dreaming the good dream... So...you're admitting that the health care system was unfixable.
