QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 12:13 PM) lol sounds about right. I consider Carbondale home now. The only time I ever go back to moms/dads is for White Sox/Bulls/Hawks games. If those teams didn't play in Chicago I'd never be back there. Carbondale will jump the shark for you about 3 months before graduation. I cant explain it now, it wont make any sense, but it happens. Still a great place to go back to, just not a place to stay Or you become a Townie, and you dont want that

Hm, I wonder if Hawk changes his tune in regards to the best duo he has ever seen?

Not as fun, but this was to my wife Me: Hey i need to ask you a question her: huh? Me: When are you going to let me tap that? her: what? Me: you read it right her: well tonite when i get home late LATE! Tomorrow until we pick up abby and most likely tomorrow night, saturday morning and looks like Sunday night! Honestly I did not expect that response. I love my wife

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 09:23 AM) soo... what did your brother say when you texted him? Yeah, I am a bad person too. Haha!

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 09:13 AM) Real funny kyyle. I dont have any sisters and my Mom is dead. Its not like you to totally bring down a thread like this. Now I am going to tuck my tail between my legs and walk away

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 08:57 AM) Keith wants me to loose the majority of any prospects that I have. No thank you. Maybe he should have been more clear in the opening post "Please do NOT try this on your Mom or Sisters"

This thread is also known as the "Reason I got divorced" thread

This dovetails nicely with J4L's giveup-on-everything column. Nicely done

I got the f*** out. Dad moved me to Carbondale, shook my hand, said good luck, and the rest is (hazy) history

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 12:52 AM) What do you mean?Are you asking if anyone saw The Haunting in the state of Connecticut or is the movie's name The Haunting in Connecticut...by the way,never heard of that movie:D Google is your friend http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0492044/

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) OK. Like I said, it does make sense...change of scenary for two player still with some potential. And absolutely Pie would be an upgrade over Wise...If the Sox landed Pie, it would possibly mean Wise would be released. Pie is still quite young, but has been no better in baltimore since leaving the Flubs. Cub hype may have ruined him. HAHAHA, right

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 01:27 PM) Crede got hurt on a dive and jammed his shoulder so you never know if he would have been hurt with the White Sox, but who cares? One good think about Fields not being able to catch up to mediocre fastballs and Crede signing with Minnesota is we get to watch Gordon Beckham play baseball. No, Im pretty sure he would have. He has every year. It was the reason I was cool with the decision to let him walk

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 12:59 PM) Then that shows why we are a .500 team at best. Our baseball team had BA and Fields penciled in as starters and you think they were were basically nothing. Those are 2 positions on a team filled with trash. As far as Kenny. That's his job to evaluate players. GMs always need a crystal ball so to speak. He should have moved Josh in the offseason and signed Crede to a Twins' like deal. Or given it to Beckham to begin with. The few weeks in the minors probably didn't matter much to Gordon to start the year. His ability was probably there to begin with unless you guys think that month or so in the minors helped him a lot. And you said: But Crede was no sure thing and KW thought Fields was a potential all star so he wasn't going anywhere unless they got Cabrera or someone like that. If KW thought fields was potential all star, some other GM might have bit in the winter when teams are more apt to deal to make some changes. The same crede that had a cortizone shot in the past week? The guy who is DHing for the Twins? Thats just a great idea

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 12:52 PM) You don't think Fields could have been shopped last winter to get a much better prospect/player? As well as BA? Now they are scraps. In the offseason, Fields was taking over for Crede to the delight of all the Crede bashers. He was our starter with some promise. Now he's nothing but garbage on the trade market. You mean when both of their values were at an absolute low, with Fields coming off an injury year, and Brian Anderson coming off watching Wise taking CF down the stretch instead of himself? No, I dont think they could have gotten better prospects. Not at all

Ben Francisco going to the Phils just makes them that much better as well. The Phils are stacked, they were already scary, now they are over the top scary. Like Sylvester Stallone turn-my-hat-backwards over the top scary

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) that made no sense I dont try and do that often

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 12:42 PM) A GM somewhere in Canada just peed down his leg. Is Brian Cashman vacationing in Toronto?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 12:40 PM) Great, so now we'll get nothing for Fields except some Class A ball guy or a guy like Kotsay. Bummer. I was totally hoping for Halladay too

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 11:20 AM) The price for Lee is going to be lower than the price that the Jays are asking for Halladay. of course. And the price for Bedard SHOULD have been less than both of them IMO. But that is what Ricciardi is using as his base, so hopefully Lee will show him he will get nothing if he keeps asking for the moon

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 11:17 AM) He shot for the moon and won't get anything if Lee is the one to move. And watch Lee reset the market for an ace.

Ricciardi watching his options dwindle

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 09:22 AM) Would anyone be down with Alexei, Fields and Richard for Halladay and Rios straight up? Ricciardi laughs at your pitiful offer and counters with Alexei, Fields, Richard and the rest of the team for Halladay and Rios straight up

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 09:08 AM) Good riddance. From complaining about the clubhouse to complaining about playing time to now complaining about being demoted, all from a kid who has shown NOTHING at the ML level outside of one nice power run, he needs to go. Earning playing time isn't all about just putting up numbers imo, I think it also takes being a good teammate who knows their role on the team and doesn't complain. It would suck to lose two #1 picks in succession like this, but sometimes you just have to chalk it up to a learning experience and move on, which is what I think KW will do. 3. Lance Broadway to the Mets earlier this year

Josh has had plenty of different instructors trying to "fix" his swing. Maybe he just isnt able to adapt to a major league fastball and the game has pushed him out because he cannot adapt. Im not going to pin this on the White Sox inability to fix his swing, he has always had a hole in his swing. QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 07:37 AM) Can't blame Josh. Maybe he can get trade to a team who might actually be able to FIX his swing. First Brian and now Josh. Is this a case of two weak minded young players or should the Sox organization examine themselves and figure out why guys like these did not succeed. Is it Ozzie? Is it the minor league instruction? Walker? AJ!? Please Please figure this out before we are talking about Beckham or Mitchell wanting out of town in a few years. Yes you can. Absolutely you can. The guy knew what it took be in the bigs since 2007, he knew what he needed to do to stay, and he did not. You can only throw a guy out there so many times to whiff against BP fastballs before you call it quits, and if he is not taking the instruction from practice to game, then something is wrong, and for once I am not going to be the guy who blames Walker.
