Balta1701

Of course he will.

Have we been sticking the speculation bill stuff here?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 07:28 PM) I was just reading that Tabata is clearly a project player, and would be the best of the bunch if anything. How do the Yankees consistently pawn off their minor leaguers on teams for decent to pretty good players? I just dont get it How many teams though have made a killing based on guys that the Yankees sold off?

What do we mean by "Last day"? Last day at some job or school or something, or last day on Earth?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 06:25 PM) This offends the hell out of me. The fact that someone took his paper out of the wall and it wound up in the hands of the press. Some things I just don't want to see.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 06:15 PM) How do you know a person? What they write when they dont expect anyone to see it: Israeli paper publishes Obama Western Wall prayer "Lord — Protect my family and me. Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will." This offends the hell out of me.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 06:14 PM) That's pretty funny. That's because it's a Daily Show line.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 07:11 PM) Who would they really trade besides Ivan and maybe Todd Jones? They could offer Renteria around. I could also see teams having interest in Inge, Bobby Seay, maybe Ryan Raburn as a backup.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 07:12 PM) Thanks Nostradamus. Well, seriously...it's a good win, but I'm not smart enough to know how the team will respond to it. This team just hasn't sold me on it's cojones yet. The 05 team had me in like April. This one, there's just something about it...they need to show me something like how they respond to tonight before I start opening up to them.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 06:31 PM) In what world does Nick Swisher look like a stud? Oakland, pre-2008.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 07:04 PM) Like I said in the game thread. THE biggest win for the White Sox since Octover 26, 2005. That will be determined by how the rest of the season goes.

Posted a couple places already, but here's a thread for it. The Yankees get Marte, Nady from the Pirates for a group of minor leaguers, the gem of which is clearly Tabata.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 04:31 PM) FYI the deal was Marte and Nady for Ohlendorf, Coke, Kontos, and Tabata Not a terrible deal for the Pirates. Is Tabata still hurt?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 04:25 PM) I don't understand how this Tigers team isn't a 95 win team. I know their pitching is bad, but it's really not that bad. Verlander is a stud now, and Galarraga has been a godsend for them. Bullpen.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 04:24 PM) The knock on him last year was that he often messed up the routine plays And so he's therefore different from Crede how?

Swisher...start swinging at the first pitch!

STOP FIRST PITCH SWINGING

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 03:56 PM) The gold glove defense that we have been told about on the left side of this infield this year has left a lot to be desired. Well, to be fair, that's not exactly the Josh Fields selling point.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 03:06 PM) I think it's pure bulls*** to blame this on Republicans. It's all of them, Balta (I know the article said "Bush administration" but come the hell on). Just pick your topic du'jour. I think it's a great example of how the limited government philosophy dramatically failed and cost business hundreds of millions of dollars.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 03:49 PM) Miguel Cabrera is looking.... portly Weren't we told when he signed that contract that he'd finally gotten in to shape this offseason?

I am not a fan of the first pitch swinging.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 03:42 PM) CMON OC, imagine the ball is Renteria. Ground Renteria to the right side?

I dunno why, this seems like the kind of time Alexei might do some damage.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 03:39 PM) J-O-S-H uh i smell a K now! Yup. At least he saw 5 pitches.

4 pitch leadoff walk...and we've been swinging so much why?
