I've started to think of Hawk as one of those pull string dolls that have sayings programmed into them. I swear it seems like 50% of his verbal output are Hawkisms.

hell yea.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 11:24 PM) He's not the MVP, but it's scary to think of where we'd be without Rios. 8-10 wins worse?

goddammit I love Rios.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 11:12 PM) The DH in the American League has a higher impact to the offense than a sophmore 2nd baseman. We decided to retard our offense by putting a subpar hitter in an offensive position. The fact that Beckham plays 2nd and is in his second year really doesn't mean anything. If he had picked up this season where he had left off last year, the impact would be significant. My point is that the offensive numbers for the White Sox would likely stay in the lower half of the AL even with the addition of a legit DH before the deadline, because Beckham is an absolute black hole.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 11:07 PM) The offense would also look better if we had an actual DH and not a pinch hitter/replacement player in that spot day in and day out. ssi71, the offense would still be subpar even with Dunn/Berkman/LaRoche. The addition of a real DH and a good Beckham would bring our offense back to respectability.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 11:06 PM) agreed I think he knows that too. I have no doubt that is compounding his struggles and making it harder for him to get his head straight.

ST CHAT ROOM

Beckham's performance this year has seriously f***ed this team over. The offense would look so much better if he played up to his ability.

fathom, have you gone to any games this year? If so, how do you handle watching this team in person?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 10:46 PM) You sure of that? Those are the names being thrown around. Who is throwing around those names? People making educated guesses on here?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 10:42 PM) Yes, but what KW considers a significant return might be different than what we would (ie: 3 months of Adam Dunn is not a sig return) C'mon. The man isn't an idiot. He knows that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) I really hope that if the Sox do trade guys like Hudson and Flowers, it's for someone that will be around next season. I'd hate to put all our eggs into this season, as it's hard to win with so many underachieving players. fathom, KW knows he can't dump those guys without a significant return. That would totally screw this team going forward. Then again, if Flowers, Hudson and Sale are bad -- we are screwed anyway.

Guys, greg says to tell you to come to the chat. Haha.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 10:35 PM) Yes, that was insane. Some great patience by the Reds hitters. I don't know why the Cubs won't fire Piniella. He obviously doesn't want to be there. It's incredibly obvious that he has checked out. I don't really blame him. That team is a disaster.

woo castro

damn

CHAT?

I'm finding it so hard to give a s*** about this game right now.

James, Bosh and Wade all know what is going on. They don't need to make decisions based off rumor and supposition. It is pretty clear that they have been communicating with each other throughout this whole process.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 2, 2010 -> 10:06 PM) Bosh is making a documentary of his FA process. I wonder then if he might drag this out to make it more interesting.

# I don't film my meetings. I am a professional. Having control of your own media is a distraction, but when other networks do it, it's not? about 10 hours ago via mobile web This is from Bosh's twitter. Anybody know what he is referring to?

So Zoom, what do you think they should do with Deng?

Awesome inning.

f*** YOU GUILLEN
