Milkman delivers

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 04:11 PM) He was just an example, and even so thats not far off from what this rotation is doing day in and day out. It's stupid that Abreu wasn't had for nothing, it's stupid that the White Sox didn't go after Hernandez and Perez for nothing, and then shipping them to San Diego for Linebrink, the list goes on and on. I really wish the Sox would've went after Linebrink since the Padres basically gave him away.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:56 PM) I didn't see a specific name in there to qualify it as a personal attack. Nor did I see him quote anyone directly. I am not very clear on the rules however. How sweet. Thank you. I think it's a personal attack either way. If I go into a thread and say, "Everyone who thinks this is a ***," it's still calling people a name.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:48 PM) most of you people sound like yankee and red sox fans, guess a 100million payroll will do that to ya, We got a good team with some bad pitchers(whom have solid track records throughout their career, maybe except vaz) and a crappy LF'der. We won last year and it was magical. This year for the last few weeks has sucked, but you gotta be realistic and hope for a turnaround, if this continues, guess what? We'll be good next year and try again. Good lord this team is not the red sox, stop b****ing like their fans, thank you to all the credible, sensible posters on here whom like me prolly don't even like reading or posting lately b/c of all the frankensteiners and his ilk who make every day seem like the world is lifeless and everybody sucks. If this team loses it loses, o f'in well, we won last year and this team has some great guys to root for. And the negetive girly boys flame away cus i'm not gonna give a spiff about your b****ing anyway. I'll laugh. go white sox, and as a guy whom loves the red sox(whom most of you sound like) take his advice "5 year grace period" First of all, there's a bunch of bad grammar in there. Second, calling people girly boys is a personal attack. That usually constitutes a suspension.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 03:44 PM) ESPN AM1000 Update. The Whitesox stood pat at the deadline. Sig

Could we have beaten that deal for Linebrink?

So, we honestly didn't even upgrade the 4th OF spot? We stood absolutely pat? With a huge deficit in our own division, while recently being swept by our two rivals for the WC, and after one of them added one of the best hitters in the game? Not even Brady Clark? Well, I hope Thome, Konerko, and Dye are happy. I'm not listening to Hawk tonight at all.

We've been playing baseball all year. It's just that we've been playing it poorly for some time now, and our pitching hasn't been good at all this year.

The Mets turned Xavier Nady into Roberto Hernandez and Scott Linebrink? Damn, that's some good GMing.

Deadline....over. FUDGE

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:56 PM) What a novel concept...acquire a right handed power hitter off the bench that can play a few positions. Instead we want Mackowiak in CF at least once every three days and Ross Gload playing once a week for 2 innings when we're killing someone.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:45 PM) Yes, the Contreras-Loaiza deal wasn't announced until about an hour and 15 mins. after. What good did that trade do us?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:43 PM) Did I just hear that right? Matt Stairs traded to Texas? Thank God, he won't be killing us anymore.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) That's awesome, if only we could get somebody to sing the Javy version...great stuff. Freddie Mercury isn't doing anything these days, I don't think.

15 minutes left.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) Please please please trade javy Kenny. Please. ack (Chicago) What is goin on with the White sox, are they going to make any moves before the deadline is over? GARY GILLETTE Jack, they are not likely at this point to make a big move. More likely a modest deal to improve their bullpen and let them put McCarthy in the rotation, which they should have done long ago. If we're putting McCarthy into the rotation, that means we'll have to trade one of our other starters. If that's not a big move, then I don't know what is.

The Mets don't have good luck in cars. Didn't Glavine get a bunch of his teeth busted out when the taxi he was in got into an accident?

Well, if the Mets are done making moves, the AL is a lock for the WS.

Enter Sandman...not Enter the Sandman. Don't misquote Metallica, buddy.

It seems that everyone in baseball has figured out that Vazquez is overrated. I still don't think we'll be able to get rid of him in the offseason without having to take very little in return.

Wow, that's awesome.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:09 PM) Yep: http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/story/9579681 Wow, wasn't Walker a butcher at 2B? I can't imagine how bad he'll be at 3B. And I thought the Padres wanted someone with power for 3B? Walker has almost none.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 02:01 PM) Ding Ding Ding. Dumping Vaz for something would be a huge plus. He brings the whole team's play down with his pitching. I stick by that.

They suck this year. I guess GM's aren't as dumb as we would hope.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 01:57 PM) Ozzie. And that's one of the things that pisses me off. He's more concerned with being everyone's buddy instead of doing what's right for the team. 1 hour.
