Milkman delivers

Hahaha, Timo leading off on national television. Are we trying to look bad on tv or what? Freddy pitching at night, ESPN, and Timo leading off isn't quite appealing.

I'd like to know how good those two prospects are. I find it hard to believe we couldn't top that. It would've been a nice "f*** you" to Florida, too, for the whole Burnett thing.

If I ever see Willie in a Sox uniform again, it'll be too soon. Sadly, we'll see him again in September.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) but you also gave away Harris and Gload. So basically you gave two pieces of s*** away as presents. Ta da. Now lets hope they find something in the waiver stocking. It was a joke. Either way, I don't think teams like the A's, Angels, Twins, Yankees, and Red Sox are going to allow a bullpen arm to get to us. Maybe a hitter, but only if it's an expensive one, such as Griffey.

Imagine it's Christmas morning. For months, you've been hoping and praying to get all of these fun different toys. You tell all of your friends what you're getting. You put together a list of these toys for your parents so they can go out and get them for you. You even go so far as to plan on what you're going to do with each toy. You just can't wait for that one day to come, then they're all yours. It finally comes, you wake up early, and run down the stairs in your pajamas to see one big present sitting under the tree. You think to yourself, "There's only one, so this one has to be good." You tear the wrapping paper off and rip open the box. What did you get?! Geoff Blum.

Fantastic, now I've been let down twice. I can't believe all the time I've spent going through all of these rumors (don't get me wrong, I enjoyed and appreciated the forum) for absolutely nothing to happen. It pretty much ended with Blum and Adkins. I just hope we absolutely wreck Baltimore tonight.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) I just said that the Moron on the SC update said that the Padres traded Chad Tracy to the White Sox for a Minor Leaguer. That guy should lose his job. I'm not even kidding, he should be fired.

f***fuklckjfkfukl;

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) I read somewhere else that they said Tracy was on SD. That makes me think they meant Blum. If this is a mistake because radio announcers can't pronounce a name, they should be fired.

What inning are the Cubs/Diamondbacks in?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:29 PM) Has the Red Sox Twins deal officially been announced? I thought someone on here said it happened? I'm just saying that if Youkilis was traded, it would make more sense that Tracy went to the Red Sox.

Red Sox just traded Youkilis, so I bet the Tracy thing was the Red Sox.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:22 PM) Chad Tracy was traded to the Sox i think? You better not be kidding.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:18 PM) you can't get pissed at Kenny. I guess you didn't read what I wrote.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:13 PM) Relax people...this is the club with the best record in baseball. Boston, Anaheim, Oakland..the rest of the division leaders have yet to make a major deal (Boston may acquire Romero). GMAFB...Kenny wasn't gonna drastically overpay and there weren't any options. I don't think anyone is pissed at KW. Everyone's pissed at the situation. Tied to 500 rumors, get Geoff Blum. That's plenty to be pissed at, bad market or not.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) Cubs acquire Matt Lawton. Of course Levine had to be wrong about the Cubs being done dealing, and not the Sox. f***, I am so pissed off. We'll probably lose tonight, just to make things worse.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) so this whole f***ing forum was created for Geoff Blum please rename it "Blum's Blog" That's so disappointing. I keep sighing, without even realizing it.

Well, that's that.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:58 PM) I've got to admit. This is very demoralizing. I promised myself I wouldn't get my hopes up, but that was almost impossible to do with all the constant rumors and such. I know one thing, I'll never allow myself to get even half way excited about a trade deadline from this point on. That's exactly what I was saying. I'm gonna go pick a fight with a kid in a wheelchair.

2 minutes.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:48 PM) Rumors are exactly what they are, rumors. Thanks, I didn't know that. My point is that, for a month, we were tied to every possibly deal out there. This deal's almost done, this one's gonna be done in by _____ day. It's really f***ing disappointing, no matter what you say, to have absolutely none of them come through.

How can we be tied to every single major trade rumor and come away with nothing but Geoff Blum. I'm not pissed at KW, but God damn it I am sorely disappointed.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) wtf, Have the words White Sox come out of any of these f***ers mouths yet? If they're not making a trade, who cares?

So, this is how it goes? We don't make a big trade and we bring up Jon Adkins? This is disappointing.

Cmon, we need a reliever and/or a LH hitter.
