QUOTE (b-Rye @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 04:43 PM) I wish Nunez/Link were called up... this bullpen is tired and it sucks. Makes you wonder why Fields was brought up. Nix can spell Beckham at 3rd on occasion.

Maybe it's time for me to bow out.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 04:32 PM) Contrary to what Ozzie says, his actions over the years indicate that he does not value defense very highly. Truer words have never been spoken.

Kid Cudi or Jay-Z?

Gandolf...is that you?

And when will Beckham get a much needed day off?

Why the f*** did we get Rios if he's not in CF?

My only problem with all of this is how will we get Castro his ABs?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 03:00 PM) You're crazy. Oh. I guess I did tell you to call me that.

I prefer to use whatever money we have to spend on upgrading defense and the bullpen. Call me crazy but I have a feeling Pena will have a nice season next year. We seem to pick up guys who stink when they first get here and turn a corner the following year (see Thornton and Floyd).

Bring your own white flag?

It's about time Wise is back. Anyone else notice that once he went down the team tanked?

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 02:21 PM) Or we could spend a few hundred billion dollars in rounding them up and destroy our agriculture industry. Until I see a whole lot of unemployed Americans rushing to pick crops in Idaho for four weeks, or work at a processing plant, I'll support a guest worker program that gives them only limited benefits. Using the same system to bring in a $100,000 programmer or accountant, as you would to bring in a $14,000 temporary farm labor, is kind of silly. The old man still has some wisdom.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 02:07 PM) They will? No Jose No Thome No Dye and what's up with Jenks' status?

Birthday boy doesn't have anything better to do?

Now that Flowers is up I look forward to a new era of bad puns.

Zen-like approach to coaching is what Ozzie should consider. Be more like Phil Jackson.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 12:48 PM) After the trade of Thome and Contreras and basically the admission now of KW that we are done for the season it will be interesting to see how the team reacts. We need to win 2 games here at the HumphreyDump and maybe as Ozzie said thse guys have looked themselves in the mirror. It is too bad we didn't get something in return for either player, but in this day and age I guess that was to be expected. I hope to listen on XM radio tonight. Did you even read about the Contreras deal? What we got was more than I had expected.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 12:34 PM) It certainly wasn't Dye, who easily could have won AL MVP that year what with his .315 average, 44 homers, 120 rbi, .385 OBP, and 1.006 OPS. But before August 1st of that year his avg was .389, 43 HRs, 118 RBIs, .485 OBP, and 1.470 OPS.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 11:02 AM) Chances Thome is back next season? Magic 8 Ball says: Cannot predict now

QUOTE (WCSox @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 10:44 AM) Yeah, no kidding. This would be a good time to shut Quentin down as well. And Jeff Cox.

Have a great day taking a ride around town.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 10:38 AM) Wow, give the guy some credit.

QUOTE (Baines3 @ Sep 1, 2009 -> 10:31 AM) I wish Thome the best in L.A. I hate to see him go but I knew he wasn't going to be here next season. Oh really?
