QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 03:08 PM) I think your statement should read ANY administration instead of THIS. Unless something drastic changes in politics in general, whichever party is in power will do whatever it can to stay in power. And the one out of power will do anything it can to get back in power. Its a vicious cycle, kinda like Kerry Wood and Mark Prior pitching, then going on the IR, it never ends. Baseball calls it the DL.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 03:17 PM) Can't say, been so busy trying to keep up with whats going on, but I swore one was elbow related and my geuss is the most recent one is as well. The injury this year is listed as a "Right Shoulder Strain". "strained terres major muscle under his right shoulder". Other injuries he's had problems with: 15 day DL in March of 04 with a Stomach Virus Later that year, he missed all kinds of time with "Elbow and Mechanics" problems.

Up again, Down again, Up again, Down again...at least now we don't NEED to trade away another player to make room.

Please let KW be serious when he says BMac isn't going anywhere...please...please...

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 03:00 PM) I just don't see how the Nationals would make a trade of this magnitude without getting McCarthy back. If that's what it takes, forget about it! Soriano is a luxury, not a need. I think what will wind up happening is the Nats will work as hard as they can to get the best offer possible. They know they won't be keeping him, and even 2 decent prospects will be better than 2 sandwich picks for Soriano leaving in November. They will take whatever they can get. The Angels won't be giving up Ervin Santana or Brandon Wood, the Dodgers won't be giving up Billingsly, the Tigers won't give up that AAA pitcher who's name i can't remember, and the White Sox won't give up McCarthy. I'll bet that beyond that, we can put together a pretty good deal for them if they want to take it.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:54 PM) id guess its tonight, because the sox said a move would be made before the minny game to bring the roster to 25, otherwise id think they would wait t il after tonights games to make the deal At least right now, MacDougal is listed on the 25 man roster at whitesox.com, but Alomar Jr. is not. Both BMac and Tracey are still there.

DLee is going back to the DL with inflammation in the wrist he hurt earlier in the year. I just knew the Cubs were bringing him back too early. Anyway, hopefully this will only be a minor setback.

QUOTE(jenksd @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:52 PM) If we traded a box of bricks for Soriano people here would cry "BUT WHAT WOULD HOLD OUR STADIUM UP" that's my take on this As long as that Box of Bricks wasn't wearing Jersey number 55.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:48 PM) Washington has a hell of a block for Fields at third too, unless Zimmerman has fallen off and I didn't know it. No, he has not, which would mean that Fields would either have to be moved for something else by the Nats or he'd have to take Soriano's spot in left.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) Thousands may be about right. The other million plus are upset Williams isn't willing to move a lanky relief pitcher in a sexy move for Soriano The other noise you hear is the noise of those millions celebrating as BMac shuts down the Mets for our 4th world series in 5 years. The noise is so loud it's traveling through time.

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:45 PM) Big yes but u have to give up more. They already have a 3rd baseman in zimmerman, and they need pitching. I for one think Haeger would be a damn good pitcher for them.

QUOTE(rcpweiner @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:43 PM) Well then ... Pods and Fields for Soriano? Yes or no, everybody? Keep BMac and BA out of any trade discussion and the answer is yes.

Just what the Cubs need...a big-business owner from another industry with no baseball experience. Oh, wait...

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:14 PM) Gload in RF tonite, Dye gets a rest. WHY NOT MACK? WHAT THE HELL DID WE GET HIM FOR?

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:24 PM) Hell... I dunno. Ichiro. I'm just throwing crap and seeing what sticks just like everyone else at this point. King Felix.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:16 PM) for? King Felix. (Not sure why I put that in Green. If we're Trading McCarthy, that's about as much as I'd want back to call it fair.)

This just has to be KW trying to drive up the price of people to move talent out of the AL Central.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 02:02 PM) the score just reported that the Sox are after Soriano and Carlos Lee! So, this makes me think that KW is just trying to drive up the price more on those guys to keep them out of the AL central, since I think we all have doubts about why KW would take Lee back. Think the Brewers want Podsednik back?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 01:55 PM) Just throwing this out there: Pods and McCarthy for Soriano.... Yes or no? Absolutely Fishing No.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 01:53 PM) I've yet to hear an explanation of how, if it's not Soriano in LF and Pods in CF, Soriano's going to fit into the lineup. What, as a backup for Iguchi? Soriano in LF, Anderson in CF, Podsednik either to the bench or to washington as part of the Soriano deal.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 01:48 PM) i hope he's willing to hit batters or his ass is gonna be in AAA Man, that is going to HURT.

QUOTE(rcpweiner @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 01:47 PM) Why don't you guys trust Kenny yet? What must he need to do to earn the benefit of the doubt? Not trade BMac.

QUOTE(G&T @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) ESPN News just reported the deal, and they mentioned that MacDougal could take BMacs spot if/when he goes to Washington. I think we should try to find a way to jam KW's cell phone so as to prevent this from happening.

Anyone know if MacDougal might be in uniform in 3 hours?

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 01:45 PM) Seriously, people think we're getting rid of Anderson AND Pods and moving Mack into center? That'd be better than getting rid of Anderson and moving Pods to center.
