QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 12:33 PM) That does bring up another aspect. I've liked Dye a lot here, but this year, his attitude on the field seems to be bad. He spaces off on plays (beyond just errors), and doesn't seem to be making as much effort. He gets angry a lot more often at himself than I remember him doing before, and he seems to get pissed at umps a LOT now. That whole set of things worries me a little. Not a ton, but, something to consider. I'd say most of the things you're critiquing has occurred within the last 2 weeks. And you'll see the positive correlation with his average dropping during that same time frame.

What do you do with Konerko if you groom Dye next year as the 1B? Trade him?

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 12:17 PM) Is it weird that Seattle has a better record then us, yet further out of the playoffs? To me it just doesnt seem right that Seattle is better then us record-wise They're ahead of us in the wild card race. And this just in! The AL Central is terrible.

The only Sox starter I trust right now. Give 'em hell Gavin!

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 10:57 AM) javy Vazquez is a very good pitcher. I think the problem with him has always been that he doesn't believe in his stuff enough and would work himself out of the game when things started to get a bit dicey.. Contreras is all about mechanics and everything must always be just right. When he is in the groove he is lights out and when not it's an electrical failure if you will. I won't

QUOTE (Tex @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 09:48 AM) I could see this taking to the last second. When we find out Kansas City traded a couple prospects for him?

QUOTE (Pumpkin Escobar @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 09:41 AM) We're luckily in a position of power where we are playing well, Might be a stretch to say we're "playing well" when we're still hovering around .500 on August 10th.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 09:37 AM) Yeah, let's replace the guy with .901 OPS. Meh. He's just guessing. I doubt Thome would see a noticeable decrease in playing time. One guy who definitely will is Wise. Doubt he'd even stay on the roster.

Happy belated!

What time is the deadline tomorrow? And any chance a deal gets done today so that we can get him to Seattle for tomorrow's game?

Could someone please post Jose's splits when AJ and Castro are catching him?

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 9, 2009 -> 05:59 PM) With the 3rd hopefully being Figgins to round off our lineup. If we get Rios we won't be signing Figgins IMO.

Starting to get hard to get excited about a .500 ball club 10 days into August.

And Dye's average keeps dipping with each passing day. Wasn't he above .300 a couple weeks ago?

Beckham looks like he could use a day off.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 9, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) And it's always, "Yeah, it's a little cranky and tight from time to time, but it's fine, blah, blah, blah." Linebrink's the guy who can pass a physical but actually is really hurt, always. Send him to Toronto for Rios. Heck, pay most of his salary just so they can take him.

Pathetic

And he walks the #8 hitter.

Our pitching = failure this weekend.

Can we just eat Linebrink's salary and cut him?
