QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 05:25 PM) Yeah it's a poison pill by Portland. They want to be part of the deal because they want a point guard. I really hope the Jazz trade Boozer because they can get a solid player and a first round pick with him. That would let them get Millsap back if they want. It seems like too much money for him though. A Jazz message board I look at every now and then say Millsap doesn't want to stay in Utah. If Milsap really didnt' want to stay in Utah he'd have gone the Gordon route and signed the qualifying offer this year rather than signing the offer sheet from Portland.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 05:21 PM) Greg Walker, Brian Anderson or Sean Tracey? Sean Tracey doesn't pull everything and Ozzie doesn't hate Greg Walker.

Well, you can cancel the postgame show.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 05:06 PM) I would guess that Jazz will not match Portland's offer to Millsap. I think it the contract is 4 years $32-$36 million. While Millsap is a very good player, and an energizer to the team, it just seems like a lot of money to keep him. I think they'll match it and they'll be damn determined to move Boozer. They have too many suitors for him to not find something that works. Even with the poison pill setup of the deal Portland offered.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 05:15 PM) Ugh, the "breaking news" was that one of the White Sox flight attendants (a pretty lady, according to Hawk) went into labor. No trade... So by "breaking news" he meant her water breaking?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 05:14 PM) Did we get Halladay????? Yes, Gavin's been traded for him. He won't be pitching the 4th.

Finally a decent game from Anderson. It's been a while.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 05:13 PM) honestly wtf is up with this first pitch swinging nonsense, aj has seen two pitches this game Actually 3.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 05:12 PM) Breaking news is a trade. ?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 05:05 PM) Anyone know what Dye and Konerko's career numbers at the Dome are? They always seem to have rather lackidasical at bats for some reason here. Dye:.202 .261 .327 .589, Konerko .250 .294 .313 .607

That was a quick inning. 5 in a row retired by Perkins.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 04:59 PM) You have to wonder what happened to Liriano. He was still good last year, although it was against really bad teams. Actually, Liriano's one player in MLB who's fallen off dramatically who you don't have to wonder about why it happened. He was good last year, but only pitched 70 innings.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 04:58 PM) Good line by the Twins' announcers...the White Sox are looking for a fifth starter, WE'RE looking for a first starter. Probably it's Blackburn for now, but he's certainly more like a Radke type than Liriano/Santana in 2006. ANTI-JINX: Yes, Gavin, you looked really good last time out against KC until things fell apart in the middle innings on you, along with the Alexei Dumbfense. They're still in the middle of the pack in the AL in terms of ERA.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 04:54 PM) He's strong as hell, but often seems to think he can pull anything. If he could learn to drive the outside pitch the other way constantly, rather than weakly pulling it on the ground like he always does, that'd almost be the trigger for him. But bah.

We need to rip Anderson more often. Doubles off the baggy.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 04:49 PM) Brian, forget that you suck and contribute in some positive manner. Seriously, Anderson needs to cut the crap. He's been worse this year than last.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 04:46 PM) You could bat Nix 3rd against LHP, and I wouldn't complain. That .279 average isn't that stellar. Good OPS though thanks to the long balls.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) Whenever anyone mentions Bert Blyleven, I think of this: Circle this!

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 04:33 PM) He's pitching like he ate some bad pesto for lunch. He's just coming back from the flu. 102 degree fever, etc. That's why they had the pitcher listed as "TBD" yesterday.

Farmer and DJ are saying that perkins just flat looks tired. 1-0 Sox.

We better get at least 2 this inning.

Podsednik has 22 infield hits this season, 3rd best in the AL. And he didn't play the first month

Leadoff infield swinging bunt hit. That's the kind of thing the Twins always do to us.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 04:19 PM) Brad Radke? I didn't know a .500 record and a 4.22 career ERA was that good. If he's being honored for anything, its those classic "Intangibles". Seriously, didn't we always just hate facing him? Didn't we all feel that his presence made everyone else on that Twins staff better?

According to Farmer, Ozzie expects Quentin back against the Orioles coming back from the AS break.
