Milkman delivers

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.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 01:51 PM) If that trade rumor was true, then Peter Angelos is the worst GM in the history of everything. You do that trade, and you don't think twice about it. Period. I also have moved the O's up the list of "Worst Franchises in the History of Sports," now up there with the NFL's Arizona Cardinals and the NBA's Atlanta Hawks. Owner, he's the owner. And that's the biggest problem. He doens't let the GM do what's best for the team. He interferes.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 01:39 PM) yeah, they span a wide variety of space. There is a 20 one. But I think the price difference for the ones you would be looking at aren't huge, so it might be worth it just to have the extra space I've looked, and I can't find any 20 gb ones. I think they discontinued them or something. It's just strange that they have such an enormous gap between the sizes.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 01:48 PM) I get the feeling nothing Is gonna happen. Yeah, this deadline is almost as bad as last year's. At least that one turned out well in the end

I don't really see what good he would serve, unless we are trading one of our other relievers, moving McCarthy into the rotation, or going with a 12-man pitching staff.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 12:59 PM) What magical trade are you waiting for? It's not out there. There are no line changes for entire starting rotations. Our best chance isn't making some desperate move at the deadline. It's getting the starting 5 to pitch to their career norms, or rather their full potential. Why not at least get a 4th OFer? Someone that can come into a game for Anderson or Pods and play good defense, thus preventing more runs from scoring. As small of a move as that is, it would still go a long way to helping us. I'd be satisfied with that (Clark, hopefully). And I'd be ecstatic if we dumped Garcia/Vazquez for another starter, even if that happens to be McCarthy.

I actually have another ipod question. Do they really only make like 2/4 gb ipods and jump all the way to 30/60 gb ipods now? I was going to get one, so I looked online. I have about 12 gb's of music on my computer, so the smaller ones are not enough, but then the larger ones seem like overkill.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 12:39 PM) For real. Can't wait to hear Hawk tonight say how it would have been stupid to make any moves as this team will be unstoppable once they get it going. Yeah, once they hit that magical point in the schedule where everything starts to click. That should be any day now. Any day... ::tumbleweed::

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 12:35 PM) Buster Onley was on the Dan Patrick show. He thinks that the Mike McDougal trade will do it for KW. That KW believes that his team is good enough. He thinks that the Twins might get Soriano, but they might back off because they can win without him. Fudge
