Milkman delivers

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.

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
