QUOTE(Wedge @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) Everett for Lowe? its ok to dream big Wedge, I wont stop you.

rumors: Dodgers GM Paul DePodesta is believed to have targeted Adam Dunn, the Cincinnati Red outfielder-first baseman. However, Red General Manager Dan O'Brien and interim Manager Jerry Narron want to wait until after the All-Star break before unloading players. Dunn, 25, is fourth in the league with 20 home runs and is batting .243 with a .384 on-base percentage. He hit 46 homers last season and is a relative bargain. He avoided arbitration by signing a one-year, $4.6-million contract and will be arbitration eligible next year too. Other available players who fit Dodger needs and McCourt's budget include outfielders Aubrey Huff of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Carl Everett of the Chicago White Sox.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 1, 2005 -> 10:47 AM) I'll stick my neck out and say we'll take 2 in Oak. this weekend If this team is playoff bound, they gotta step up in 'games not supposed to be won' situations. I hope you are right, Oakland is really hot right now. Hopefully they can be held down.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:13 PM) Hawk still announcing like he has 1 eye. LOL. I still laugh when i think about the reason someone posted(Jabroni? Kalapse?) that Hawk couldnt travel with the team after his surgery... because his eye will explode.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) Iguchi battling. what else is new. how do you say clutch in japanese? I-gu-chi

QUOTE(Winnin Ugly @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:07 PM) 1) Jeremy Reed 2) Kris Honel 3) Neal Cotts 4) Joe Borchard 5) Ryan Wing 6) Brian Anderson 7) Arnie Munoz 8) Jon Rauch 9) Robert Valido 10) Ricardo Nanita Just missed the cut: Ryan Sweeney, Chris Young, Ruddy Yan, Enemencio Pachecho this is relevant to what?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 02:05 PM) I just posted your pick, but the thread is still open. Did you look at the wrong day? quite possibly. I was thinking that when you wrote that you posted it

Farmer and Rooney just mentioned that the Sox picked up a pitcher off of waivers from Texas, i think his name is Ryan Wing? They said this is his second go around with the Sox

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 01:50 PM) FYI, since the game hasn't started yet, people who did not make Picks to Click can still make them until the first pitch. Only 22 people have picks in, and the standings are VERY tight. I just went to make my pick to click and it is locked already. I noticed a few picks were Podsednik. Whoops. Im going with Rowand, I think he is going to snap out of his funk now that he has been dropped in the lineup.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) Too bad about Billy Corgan. I grew up with Jimmy Chamberlin, the drummer for for Smashing Pumpkins and know he is a Sox fan, at least he was all through grade school in Joliet. Belushi's a talentless douche bag who made a career by imitating his dead brother. And Harry was singing "Take me out" at Comiskey long before he did it at the urinal. I hate this nation's love affair with the cubs. Is this all on TWIB? Where did these random thoughts come from, Jack Handy?

QUOTE(Spiff @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) The only mention of the Sox in this TWIB is AJ's walkoff against LA. I havent watched that show since the original host died (Mel Allen? What was his name?) It just doesnt have the same flair it used to have, they dont have consistent hosts. I think that Bob Eucker should host it.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) What happened? (I don't remember that or hearing about it...) Minnie Minosos bat was ripped off the statue after or during the final cubs game. I bet the Sox spring for some surveillance on every statue from now on, fixing those statues isnt cheap.

QUOTE(upnorthsox @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) 2 outs, position yourself for the out not the runner on 3rd. Even so, you would play normal depth, wouldnt you? Why would you position yourself in the outfield with a player who can run pretty well in the box?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) I'm pretty sure he didn't start off in the outfield grass. I recall Hawk saying how Ozzie brought the infield in and how Polanco could easily bloop one over the infielders. Uribe had to range back and to his right, plant, and make a strong throw and he did. Amazing play. Probably the best of the season so far. thats what I remembered. just checking.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 12:21 PM) Love that! Plus, remember Trammel said he won't take the white sox seriously until they're 10 games up? Ha! Trammel, your season's over before the break you tool! What a stupid time to take a team seriously. I know, lets wait until we have to go on a 15 game winning streak to come within 5 games.

they said they think it will be a 1:00 start, the same storm that passed through chicago this morning

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 12:10 PM) Okay, I looked. I agree that Vizquel (and very few other SS) could not have made a throw from that far. But Uribe didn't have to range that far to get to the ball. The reason the throw was so far was because he started the play in the outfield grass. Can someone look at this and tell me that Uribe started on the outfield grass? I have a hard time believing that Uribe would position himself on the outfield grass with the winning run on 3rd. My work server prevents me from looking at the replay, i am working on memory from last night.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 11:47 AM) Ha, anyone see this s***? All I say is that Vizquel wouldn't have made the play, but apparently it looked like "Omar Vizquel is a s***ty player, he sucks, and he should die." Honestly, people really twist your words a lot around here. We all think he sucks, dont you know milkman?

QUOTE(upnorthsox @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 11:41 AM) Yep it's not like Vizquel hasn't done that to us oh about 50 times over the yrs. He really sucks. yeah upnorth, thats what I said. Vizquel sucks. 3 years ago he would have made that play. Now I highly doubt it. Once again, I really like Vizquel.

go to the whitesox official homepage, you can watch the play under "Uribe's Clutch Play" and decide for yourself if Vizquel would have made the play. Keep in mind that I really like Vizquel and wanted him on the Sox in the offseason.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 11:24 AM) I'm not in Chicago so I didn't see the game. What was the play he made, and can you say for certain that Omar Vizquel couldn't have made the same play? It's my belief that in the postseason, a 8th or 9th place hitter that is going to get on base on average at least once more per game and who has much better speed is of real value, especially when you are splitting hairs about their defensive differences. bottom of the 9th, runners on 1st and 3rd with Placido Polanco up. Polanco hits a bouncer about 8 feet into the outfield between Crede and Uribe. uribe picked up the ball, planted and fired a bullet to first to get Polanco(who was sliding). The game was over if he didnt make that play. Vizquel doesnt have the arm to make that play.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) I guess Stanton would never get any better against righties, huh? Look at what he did last season... http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/stats/ml...2681&statType=2 He is a lot better pitcher than what he has shown with the Yankees this season. I see waht you are saying, but he also had alot of innings pitched compared to the year before, and the highest walk total since 1997. With his age, it doesnt look like its getting better for him. He is definitely worth taking a flyer on though.

QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) How about making a trade for Kent Mercker yeah i am sure Mercker would love to make his return trip to Chicago. Maybe him and stoney can get together and sing kumbayah.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 11:06 AM) I'm not doubting that Uribe has some marginal additional value defensively, but I just don't see it making a significant difference. His defense saved the game last night, it doesnt get any more significant than that.
